FAST AG SOLUTIONS Raven Rate Control Module Instruction Manual

FAST AG SOLUTIONS Raven Rate Control Module

RAVEN RCM SETUP

• Enter the Profile Name:
• FAST + Model Number
• (Example: FAST 9518T, FAST 8313)
• Select Machine Type:
• For Sprayers use: “Pull – behind Sprayer” For Applicators use: “Liquid Fert. Tool”
• Enter the Application Width. Press Next.
• Leave at “1” unless multiple ECU’s are used.
• Press Next.
• Choose Application Mode.
• FAST products only use “Liquid”.
• Liquid choice selected. Press Next.
• Enter number of sections (ball valves). FAST only uses “3-wire” valves.
• If the sections are unequal widths, uncheck the box.
• Example setting:
• 3 sections, 3-wire valve.
• Box unchecked for unequal widths. Press Next
• Enter the width of the sections.
• For Sprayers: Enter number of tips per section x spacing = width of section.
• The sum of the sections must equal the application width entered on (page 1).

FOR APPLICATORS

16 row, 17 coulter example, 30” spac-ing.

• Section 1 = 5 full rate coulters = 150”. 5 x 30” = 150”
• 1 half rate coulter = 15”.
• 150” + 15” = 165”
• 165” / 12” = 13.75 feet
• Section 2 = 5 full rate coulters = 150”. 5 x 30” = 150”
• 150” / 12” = 12.50 feet
• Section 3 = 5 full rate coulters = 150”. 5 x 30” = 150”
• 1 half rate coulter = 15”.
• 150” + 15” = 165”
• 165” / 12” = 13.75 feet

16 row, 15 coulter example, 30” spac-ing.

• Section 1 = 4 full rate coulters = 120”. 4 x 30” = 120”
• 1.5 rate coulter = 45”.
• 120” + 45” = 165”
• 165” / 12” = 13.75 feet
• Section 2 = 5 full rate coulters = 150”. 5 x 30” = 150”
• 150” / 12” = 12.50 feet
• Section 3 = 4 full rate coulters = 120”. 4 x 30” = 120”
• 1.5 rate coulter = 45”.
• 120” + 45” = 165”
• 165” / 12” = 13.75 feet

The sum of the sections must equal the application rate entered

• Not used unless there are special requirements.
• Press Next.
• Section summary per product.
• If using a switch box, switch assignment is entered here.
• Press Next.
• Choose pressure sensor if installed.
• FAST only uses 0-250 psi. Press Next.
• FAST does not use auxiliary functions, leave unchecked.
• Press Next.
• Standard control valve setup.
• If machine has a PWM pump, choose “PWM”.
• PWM setup. Press Next.
• If using ACE PWM pump, change the coil frequency to 122.
• Max Pump PWM:
• Enter a maximum PWM duty cycle percent to set the maximum desired output for a pulse width modulated (PWM) hydraulic control valve. This setting limits how far the PWM valve will open.
• (Typically set at 100 psi. deadhead.)
• Min Pump PWM:
• Enter a minimum PWM duty cycle percent to set the minimum desired output (zero point or shutoff point) for a pulse width modulated (PWM) hydraulic control valve).
• (Typically set at 20 psi. deadhead.)
• PWM Standby:
• Enter desired control valve PWM duty cycle percent when all sections are off. This is uti-lized when standby pressure control is not available (pressure sensor not available or direct injection is
• installed).
• (Typically set at within 10 psi of spray pressure.)
• Press Next.
• Enter calibration number found on the flowmeter tag.
• Flowmeter tag calibration number.
• Choose “Flowmeter Pulse/Units”.
• Flowmeter tag Pulse/Units number.
• Flowmeter calibration number entered. Flowmeter Pulse/Units number entered. Press Next.
• FAST does not use a tank fill sensor.
• Enter tank capacity.
• Enter current tank level. Enter desired low tank level. Choose alarm.
• Press Next.
• Enter the desired rates.
• Enter the desired rate bump.
• “Rate Bump” can be used if preferred over a predefined rate.
• Decimal shift can be used for finer rates.
• Example settings. Press Next.
  NOTE: This setting will vary based on tip selection.

Sprayers:
Nozzle capacity at minimum psi, multiply by the number of nozzles.
Example:
For FAST installed tips, see tip chart.
.18 x (number of tips) = minimum flow rate.

Applicators

Can be run without entering a minimum flow rate, but if desired, the same formula should be used.

• Setup summary page. Press Next.
• Not used.
