Ag Leader EZ-Guide 500 Variable Rate Getting Started Guide - Manual (Page 28)

Operational Warnings
When using the Raven variable rate controller with the EZ−Guide 500 lightbar, note the following:
The EZ−Guide 500 lightbar cannot control the status of the Raven controller master or boom switches.
This means that the operator must remain in complete control of the sprayer at all times. The EZ−Guide
500 lightbar cannot automatically turn off the sprayer when going outside headlands, across exclusion
zones, or previously sprayed areas.
•
The sprayer may not always switch off completely when the EZ−Guide 500 sends a zero rate. This means
the operator may need to manually turn off the master switch to ensure no spray is applied.
Note: The only time the EZ−Guide 500 sends a zero rate is when the sprayer is outside a prescription
boundary and the "Rate outside polygon" option is set to Zero.
•
The operator must ensure that the master switch is off when there is no field open to ensure that no spray
is accidentally applied to areas that shouldn't be sprayed, for example, roads, paths, and neighbouring
fields.
