Variable Rate Setup (Option)
This topic presumes that the Nutri-Pro
®
applicator has a
Raven SCS 450 console, speed radar, flow meter,
pressure sensor, and section control valves. It also
presumes that the console has been installed in the
tractor cab per “Console Installation” on page 111.
If the Nutri-Pro
®
applicator has dealer- or user-provisioned
controller or metering, carefully follow supplier
documentation for installation, setup, use and maintenance.
This Nutri-Pro
®
manual (407-776M) cannot describe your
system. Great Plains cannot assume any liability for results
with equipment not supplied by Great Plains.
Before first field use of the SCS 450, it must be
programmed with data specifying the system
configuration, consisting of various “CAL” numbers and
user elected “RATE” numbers. See the Raven SCS 450
manual (or the Calibration Card) for the keystroke
sequence for setting each of these values.
SCS 450: BOOM CAL
In the factory configuration, the hydraulic drive
Nutri-Pro
®
is connected to one boom (the front boom)
and has one “boom section” (BOOM 1). Because the
center and wings are operated as a single section, the
BOOM CAL number is the swath of the entire implement.
Use the values from the following table.
If using a modified row setup, determine the BOOM CAL
per the Raven SCS 450 manual.
SCS 450: SPEED CAL
A speed sensor connection to the Raven SCS 450 is
required. Perform a calibration per the manuals for the
sensor and the SCS 450.
A speed sensor input allows the SCS 450 to determine
and control application rates at arbitrary field speeds.
Note: The Raven flow control bundles offered by Great
Plains do not include a speed sensor, nor the cable
necessary to connect a Raven-compatible sensor
or radar to the SCS 450. See page 97 for an
available radar kit. See page 97 for harness cables
available from Great Plains or Raven.
