The Pulse Output screen appears.
3.
Select the output rate expected by your device.
Note — Most Raven and Midtech controllers use
58.94 Hz/mph (34.80 Hz/kph).
4.
In the Angle field, press
u
or
D
until the correct
angle is selected.
On most vehicles, the radar unit is mounted vertically (0°), and does not affect
the speed pulse output. However, if your radar unit is mounted at an angle, you
must configure the lightbar to compensate for this angl
e. If you do not set the
correct radar unit angle, the speed pulse output will be wrong.
Note — To obtain the correct unit angle, refer to the vehicle documentation or
contact your vehicle reseller. If you intend to recalibrate your controller for best
accuracy, then leave the Angle value at zero degrees.
Setting up a controller
On a Raven controller:
1.
Make sure that the speed input is set to Speed Radar SP2.
Note — You usually choose the speed input setting when you first calibrate the
unit; the choices given in most Raven controllers are SP1 or SP2. SP2 is the
correct setting for Speed Radar inputs. For more information on how to check
this setting, refer to your variable rate controller instruction manual.
2.
Make sure the speed calibration value is set correctly. For the most accurate
results, re-calibrate the unit to match the lightbar output.
For information on how to calibrate the unit, refer to the controller instruction manual.
B
Tip — To discover the accuracy of your current settings, compare the speed value
indicated on the lightbar guidance system with that on the spray controller.
On a Midtech controller:
1.
On the Midtech spray controller, ensure the speed calibration value is set
correctly. For the most accurate results, re-calibrate the unit to match the lightbar
guidance system output.
2.
For information on how to calibrate the unit, refer to the controller instruction
manual.
