INTRODUCTION
The Raven SCS 700 (PRODUCT INJECTION SYSTEM) is designed to improve the accuracy and
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 system.
The SCS 700 consists of a computer based Control Console, a Speed Sensor, one or two Injection Modules
(each includes a Motor Control and Metering Pump with sensors), an In-Line mixer, and cables. 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 Injection Module mounts to the framework of the sprayer. The In-Line Mixer mounts
just before the Boom On/Off Valves. Appropriate cabling is furnished for field installation.
The operator sets the target application rate for each product to be sprayed and the SCS 700 automatically
maintains the flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A manual override switch allows the
operator to manually control flow for each product for spot spraying. Actual volume per area being applied
is displayed at all times for both products. The SCS 700 additionally functions as an area monitor, speed
monitor, and volume totalizer.
TYPICAL SYSTEM (WITH CARRIER) DIAGRAM:
The diagram shown below is a typical SCS 700 system. It is suggested that the SCS 700 console be
installed to use Product 1 as the carrier, and Product 2 for injection or auxiliary. Although this is not required,
it is the recommended system.

PRODUCT INSTALLATIONS
1. MOUNTING THE RAVEN RADAR SPEED SENSOR
See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
See Appendix 2 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 negative terminal
of the battery. See "BATTERY CONNECTIONS".

2. MOUNTING THE FLOW METER
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.
NOTE: It is critical, when using suspensions, that the system be thoroughly rinsed out each day
after use.
NOTE: If system does not use carrier control for PROD 1, the injection option shown for PROD
2 is available for use in place of carrier control.
FIGURE 4
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

CONSOLE CALIBRATIONS
A calibration procedure must be completed before operating the console. Calibration of the Console can
be achieved by performing the following calculations. Once these calculations are complete, the
information can be added to the console by following the INITIAL CONSOLE PROGRAMMING procedure.
1. CALCULATING "BOOM CAL"
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.
Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console. The Console
is capable of controlling up to three (3) booms.
FIGURE 6
2. CALCULATING "SPEED CAL"
See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
See Appendix 2 for Speedometer Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
Initial SPEED CAL is 598 [152]. Complete Steps 1 thru 6 to refine this number after "INITIAL CONSOLE
PROGRAMMING" has been completed.
1) Set POWER switches to ON, all other switches to OFF.
2) Enter "0" in
.
3) Drive 1 mile [1 kilometer]. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and decelerate
slowly.
CAUTION: Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. Use section lines or
highway markers.
4) Read DISTANCE by depressing
. DISTANCE should read a value of approximately 5280
[1000]. If it reads between 5260-5300 [990-1010], the SPEED CAL for the vehicle is 598 [152].
If the DISTANCE display reads any other value, perform the following calculation:
EXAMPLE: Assume DISTANCE reads 5000 [980].
Corrected SPEED CAL =
Old SPEED CAL x 5280
DISTANCE
ENGLISH UNITS: METRIC UNITS:
= 598 x 5280 = 631.48 = [152] x [1000] = [155]
5000 [980]
5) The number to enter for SPEED CAL is 631 [155].
11
For FAST VALVE (C-F or C-FC):
For STANDARD VALVE (C-Sd):
Valve Backlash Digit Controls the time of the first correction pulse after a change in
correction direction is detected.
(INC to DEC -or- DEC to INC).
Range: 1 to 9 1-Short Pulse
9-Long Pulse
Valve Speed Digit Controls response time of Control Valve motor.
CAUTION: Running the Control Valve too fast will cause the
system to oscillate.
C-Sd Valve Control Range: 1 to 9 1-Slow
9-Fast
C-F or C-FC Valve Control Range: 0 to 9 0-Fast
9-Slow
Brake Point Digit Sets the percent away from target rate at which the Control Valve
motor begins turning at a slower rate, so as not to overshoot the
desired rate.
Range: 0 to 9 0 = 5%
1 = 10%
9 = 90%
6) Recheck the new SPEED CAL derived in Step 5 by repeating Steps 2 thru 5.
3. CALCULATING CARRIER "METER CAL"
When calculating METER CAL for a carrier (typically METER 1 CAL is used as a carrier), refer
to the Flow Meter calibration number which is stamped on the label attached to the Flow Meter.
This number is to be used for gallon per area applications. To convert original METER CAL from
gallons to desired units of measure (oz, lbs, or liters per area) see "METER CAL CONVER-
SIONS". Write down this calibration number for future reference when programming the
Console.
NOTE:Reference "PRODUCT INJECTION INSTALLATION AND SET-UP" For information
regarding setting the METER CAL for injection or auxiliary.
4. CALCULATING "VALVE 1 AND VALVE 2 CAL"
The initial Control Valve calibration number for VALVE 1 CAL and VALVE 2 CAL is 2123 for C-Sd
(injection module/standard valve), or 743 for C-F (fast valve) and C-FC (fast close valve). The
VALVE CAL number is used to control response time of the Motor Control to the change in vehicle
speed. After operating the system, this number may be refined.
See definitions below:
12
Dead-Band Digit Allowable difference between target and actual application rate,
where rate correction is not performed.
Range: 1 to 9 1 = 1%
9 = 9%
5. CALCULATING "PROD 1 AND PROD 2 CAL"
1) Determine the target application rate at which the product should be sprayed for the PROD 1
and PROD 2 CAL. Write down these calibration numbers for future reference when program-
ming the Console. Consult with a Raven Dealer to ensure your spray nozzles are capable of
applying at this target rate.
Selecting Spray Nozzles:
To determine correct spray nozzles provide the following information:
1) Nominal Application Pressure PSI [kPa] {PSI}
2) Target Application Rate GPA [lit/ha] {GPK)
3) Target Speed MPH [km/ha] {MPH}
4) Nozzle Spacing inches [centimeters] {inches}
From this information calculate the volume per minute per nozzle as follows:
GPM = GPA {GPK} X MPH {MPH} X inches {inches}
5,940 {137}
lit/min = lit/ha x km/h x cm
60,000
Use GPM [lit/min] and pressure to select appropriate tip from tip chart.
EXAMPLE: 1) Application Pressure 30 PSI [200 kPa] {30 PSI}
2) Target Application Rate 20 GPA [200 lit/ha] {.46 GPK}
3) Target Speed 5.2 MPH [8.4 KM/H] {5.2 MPH}
4) Nozzle Spacing 20 inches [50 cm] {20 inches}
US (ENGLISH UNITS) GPM = 20 GPA X 5.2 MPH X 20 inches = 0.35
5,940
SI (METRIC UNITS) [lit/min] = 200 lit/ha X 8.4 km/h X 50 cm = 1.40
6,000
TU (TURF UNITS) GPM = .46 GPK X 5.2 MPH X 20 inches = 0.35
137
Using GPM .35 and pressure 30 select tip number XR8004 from the chart shown as Figure 8,
since it comes closest to providing the desired output.
13
VERIFYING FLOW RATE LIMITS:
The gallons per minute (GPM) (liter per minute [lit/min]) flow rate of the sprayer must be within the
range of that specified for the Flow Meter included with the Console.
FLOW METER MODEL FLOW RANGE
RFM 5 0.05-5 GPM [0.2-18.9 lit/min]
RFM 15 0.3-15 GPM [1.1-56.8 lit/min]
RFM 60P/60S 1-60 GPM [3.8-227 lit/min]
RFM 100 3-100 GPM [11.4-379 lit/min]
RFM 200/200 Poly 15-200 GPM [56.8-757 lit/min]
RFM 400 25-400 GPM [94.6-1514 lit/min]
2) Determine the target application rate for PROD 2 CAL that you are spraying (Refer to the instructions
on the product container) using section DETERMINING INJECTION MODULE METER CAL.
