CALCULATING THE

CALIBRATION VALUES

SPEED CAL

Raven industries recommends the following values for the initial speed cal:

These values are usually a good starting point and will generally yield adequate results; however, the speed cal

should still be refined for each vehicle.

NOTE:

The GPS speed over CANbus feature is only available with specific Raven speed sense nodes. This

feature utilizes NMEA speed over ground data transmitted over the CAN network which eliminates

the need for a separate, external speed sensor.

Refer to the following procedures to adjust or tune the speed calibration value, or speed cal, for the specific speed

sensor used with the ROS device.

NOTICE

When using the GPS speed over CANbus feature,

no refining or adjustment is necessary or

recommended to the speed cal value. Losing GPS

signal for more than a second will also result in

loss of the CAN speed signal which may affect

product application in progress.
