This guide includes all instructions for correct assembly, connection and set up of BRAVO 18x
family computers.
Further informations are mentioned in special installer's sheets for each computer model.
This manual contains information reserved for the installation technician, and hence makes use
of technical terminology without the explanations which would otherwise be required by the end
user.
INSTALLATION IS TO BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORISED AND TRAINED TECHNICAL
STAFF.
THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE FOR USE OF THIS MANUAL BY UNAUTHORI-
ZED AND UNQUALIFIED PERSONS.
All assembly steps generally refer to a Bravo computer without mentioning any model, unless a
given installation procedure specically concerns a certain model.
The installation technician is responsible for implementing the installation procedure in a professional
manner so as to guarantee perfect functionality of the computer, whether supplied solely with ARAG
components or with components from other manufacturers.
ARAG recommends using its own components for the installation of the control systems.
If the installation technician should decide to use components provided by other manufacturers,
even if this should not require the modication of the cabling or other systems, he does so at his
own exclusive risk and liability.
The installation technician is responsible for compatibility with components and accessories provided
by other manufacturers.
If, as a consequence of the above recommendations, the computer or other ARAG components
installed in combination with components provided by other manufacturers should suffer damage
of any kind, no form of liability, whether direct or indirect, will be recognized by ARAG.

The BRAVO 18x computer family includes spraying computers which control all aspects of product
distribution for agricultural applications.
The computer enables the operator to control the valves and all treatment parameters, both in
automatic and manual mode.
The computers are available in a range of congurations for different numbers of sections and for
connection to various types of sensor.
The computer connects directly to the system thanks to a single cable connection to the control unit
valves and the sensors: the cab installation thus includes only the controls required for controlling
the system, giving total safety in operation.
The BRAVO computer display enables the operator to monitor all the operational data, such as the
speed of the tractor, the amount of product being distributed, the total surface area treated, etc.
ARAG has designed and manufactured a diagnostics system for Bravo series computers and the
systems to which they may be connected.
BRAVO DSB (article code 467003) provides reliable computer diagnostics (not of the control unit
to which it is connected) so as to enable the resolution of any potential problems experienced with
the system.
All installation work must be done with the battery disconnected, using suitable
tools and any individual protection equipment deemed necessary.
Use ONLY clean water for treatment tests and simulations: using chemi-
cals during simulated treatment runs can seriously injure persons in the
vicinity.
The device you have purchased is a computer which, when connected to a suitable control unit,
makes it possible to control all phases of treatment in agricultural applications directly from the cab
of the agricultural machine in which it is installed.
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for crop spraying applica-
tions.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard
(Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming machines), harmonized with
2004/108/EC Directives.

6.2 Locating the computer
BRAVO 18x series computers must be installed in the cab of the tractor, in observance of the
following precautions:
- DO NOT install the computer in an area subject to excessive vibration or collisions
as this may damage it or lead to its controls being accidentally actuated;
- install the unit is a visible position within easy reach by hand: bear in mind that the
computer should not obstruct the operator’s freedom of movement or block his view.
Note the connections required for the computer to operate (Tab. 5), the required length
of the cables, and provide adequate space for the connectors and cable runs.
An identication symbol is located next to each connector to indicate its function; for
the conguration of the systems, refer to par. 6.1 - Recommended system conguration.

6.3 Mounting the bracket
The computer and control unit must be mounted on a bracket installed at the desired location
(the previous paragraph shows the bracket drilling template).
The bracket installs with the supplied bolts (A, g. 2).
Make sure the bracket is securely mounted, t the computer to it and push it in until it locks in place
(B, Fig. 2).
Fi g. 2
6.4 Location of the control unit
The control unit must be installed with the special brackets supplied and mounted to the unit, posi-
tioning it as shown in the manual provided with it.
MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THE CON-
TROL UNIT’S MANUAL.
7.1 General precautions for cable runs
• Securing the cables:
- secure the cables so that they do not interfere with moving parts;
- route the cables in such a way that twisting and tractor movements cannot damage or break
them.
• Routing the cables to protect against water inltrations:
- branches in the cable runs must ALWAYS be oriented downwards (Fig. 3).
Fi g. 3 Fi g. 4
• Fitting the cables to the connection points.
- Do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts can be damaged
and computer operation compromised.
• Use ONLY cables and accessories included in the part catalogue as they are techni-
cally suitable.
