Introduction
Calculating Machine’s Calibration Values
Calculate the Boom Cal Value
Broadcast Spraying
Calculate the Boom Cal value in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing between the tips.
Be sure to write down these figures for future reference when programming the console.
FIGURE 1. Boom Sections
Band Spraying
Calculate the Boom Cal value in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing between the tips.
Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by the Band Width in inches [cm], then
divide by the spacing in inches [cm].
For Example:
Calculate the Speed Cal Value
Raven Radar Only
The initial Speed Cal value for Raven radar is 598 [152]. After the initial console programming has been
performed, this value may be adjusted to optimize the system’s performance.
Broadcast Rate = 20 GPA [200 lit/ha]
Spacing = 40 inches [100 cm]
Band Width = 14 inches [40 cm]
GPA x Band Width = Adjusted Applied Rate
Spacing
20 x 14 = 7 GPA
40
[200] x [40] = 80 lit/ha
