N O T I C E
The use of the suspension type fertilizers and lime slurries will
significantly reduce the life of the plastic parts in the Flow
Meter and motorized Control Valve. Check the rotor and inlet hub
assembly in the Flow Meter frequently for worn parts. Excessive
wear can affect accuracy.
Do not attempt to modify or lengthen any of the three-wire Speed
Sensor or Flow Meter cables. Extension cables are available from
your Dealer.
W A R N I N G
Disconnect console before jump starting, charging battery, or
welding on equipment.

METER CAL CONVERSIONS
To convert the METER CAL number simply divide the original number (number printed
on Flow Meter label) by the desired conversion factor.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Fluid Ounces
128
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Liters
3.785
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Pounds
Weight of one gallon
LIQUID CONVERSIONS
U.S. Gallons x 128 = Fluid Ounces
U.S. Gallons x 3.785 = Liters
U.S. Gallons x 0.83267 = Imperial Gallons
U.S. Gallons x 8.34 = Pounds (Water)
LENGTH
1 millimeter (mm) = 0.039 inch
1 centimeter (cm) = 0.393 inch
1 meter (m) = 3.281 feet
1 kilometer (km) = 0.621 mile
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters; 2.54 centimeters
1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
PRESSURE
1 psi = 6.89 kPa
1 kPa = 0.145 psi
AREA
1 square meter = 10.764 square feet
1 hectare (ha) = 2.471 acres; 10,000 square meters
1 acre = 0.405 hectare; 43,560 square feet
1 square mile = 640 acres; 258.9 hectares

INTRODUCTION
The Raven SCS 460 (SPRAYER CONTROL SYSTEM) is designed to improve the uniformity of spray
applications. Its performance relies on the installation and preventive maintenance
of the complete sprayer. It is important that this Installation and Service Manual be
reviewed thoroughly before operating the system. This manual provides a simple step-
by-step procedure for installing and operating.
The SCS 460 system consists of a computer-based Control Console, a Speed Sensor, a turbine
type Flow Meter and a motorized Control Valve. The Console mounts directly in the cab
of the vehicle for easy operator use. The Radar Speed Sensor is mounted to the frame
of the vehicle or implement (wheel drive and speedometer Drive Speed Sensors are also
available.) The motorized Control Valve and Flow Meter mount to the framework supporting
the boom valves. Appropriate cabling is furnished for field installation.
The operator sets the target volume per area to be sprayed and the SCS 460 automatically
maintains the flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A manual override
switch allows the operator to manually control flow for system check-out and spot
spraying. Actual volume per area being applied is displayed at all times. The SCS 460
additionally functions as an area monitor, speed monitor and volume totalizer.
NOTE: The SCS 460 Control Console is designed to be used with external Boom switches.
In order for the Console to know when and which Boom is ON or OFF, Boom signal
wires are provided.

INSTALLATION
1. MOUNTING THE RAVEN RADAR SPEED SENSOR
See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
See Appendix 2 for Speedometer Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
For mounting the radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation:
It is suggested that a large heavy mounting bracket, (P/N 107-0159-693) be attached
to the vehicle frame for mounting the radar.
1) Park vehicle on level surface.
2) Select mounting site by considering the following:
a) The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by
structures or tires. Obstructions must not come closer than 20 inches to
the bottom of the radar. See Figures 1 and 2.
b) The radar lens must be parallel to the ground from front to back. Radar
can be tilted out 0-15 degrees to provide more clearance and miss
obstructions. See Figure 2.
c) The radar should be mounted so that the length of the radar is parallel
with direction of vehicle travel.
3) Use carpenters level to verify that mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.
4) Bolt mounting bracket to implement.
5) Bolt radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware. See Figure 3.
6) Connect radar with Radar Interface Cable (P/N 115-0159-539), to the Console.
The Red wire should be connected to the Orange cable wire. The White wire should
be connected to the White cable wire (See "BATTERY CONNECTIONS").
CAUTION: The connection of the radar power in reverse polarity could result
in damage to the Radar.

2. MOUNTING THE FLOW METER AND OPTIONAL PRESSURE
TRANSDUCER
FLOWMETER
1) Mount Flow Meter in the area of the boom valves per Figure 4. All flow through
Flow Meter must go to booms only, i.e., no return line to tank or pump after Flow
Meter.
2) Mount Flow Meter horizontal to the ground. Use the bracket to secure the Flow
Meter.
3) For best results, allow a minimum of 7 1/2 inches [20 cm] of straight hose on inlet
of Flow Meter. Bend radius of hose on outlet of Flow Meter should be gradual.
4) Flow must be in direction of arrow on Flow Meter.
FIGURE 4FIGURE 4
FIGURE 4FIGURE 4
FIGURE 4
NOTE:It is essential, when using suspensions, that the system be thoroughly
rinsed out each day after use.
OPTIONAL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
1) Mount optional pressure transducer, part #422-0000-059, on desired location.
Use cables 115-0171-152 (or 115-0171-153)and 115-0171-151.
2) With pump turned off and 0 PSI [kPa] on the lines, enter 0 for pressure calibration
(cal pressure) under Data Menu Key.
3) When system is operating, system PSI [kPa] will be displayed when the
or key is depressed.

3. MOUNTING THE CONTROL VALVE
1) Mount the motorized Control Valve in the main hose line between the Flow Meter
and the booms, with motor in the upright position. (For flow less than 3 GPM
[11 lit/min] the motorized Control Valve is mounted in a by-pass line. Refer to
Appendix 3 for alternate plumbing diagram).
2) Connect the Flow Control Cable connectors to boom valves, Flow Meter, and motorized
Control Valve. (Black wire to boom valve #1, Brown wire to boom valve #2, Blue
wire to boom valve #3, Blk/Wht wire to boom valve #4, Brn/Wht wire to boom valve
#5, Blu/Wht wire to boom valve #6 and Wht/Blk to boom valve #7).

4. MOUNTING THE CONSOLE AND CABLING
1) Mount the Console to a secure support inside the cab of the vehicle.
2) Connect the Console Control Cable to the plug in the back of the Console.
(Reference Figure 5). Route the Console Control Cable out of the vehicle cab
and terminate. (Flow Meter extension cables are available from your Dealer).
3) Turn POWER ON/OFF switch OFF and route the Red and White battery wires to a 12-
volt battery. Attach the White battery wires to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal and
the Red battery wire directly to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal. (See Figure
6 on page 8). (DO NOT CONNECT RED AND WHITE WIRES TO THE STARTER). Secure the
battery wires with plastic cable ties. DO NOT tie the battery wires close to
the existing battery leads or any other electrical wiring.
4) Connect the Speed Sensor to the plug in the back of the Console.
5) Secure and tie the Speed Sensor Cable and the Console Control Cable with
plastic cable ties.
6) Initial installation of the system is now complete.

NOTE: The SCS 460 Control Console is designed to be used with external boom switches.
In order for the Console to know when and which Boom is ON or OFF, boom signal
wires are provided. The Console recognizes a boom ON whenever +12 VDC is applied
to the boom signal wire. Connect the boom signal wire to the switched side of
the boom valve.
