Safety
Notices
CAUTION: Sprayer booms should be lowered to ground or on
mechanical safety stops before starting work. Do not work under
sprayer booms supported by hydraulic system only. Turn off
sprayer and wait for all machine motion to stop before starting
work. Set parking brake.
CAUTION: Be sure to wear proper eye protection when using any
power tools, such as when drilling any mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Check behind vehicle and implement panels for any
hoses, wiring, controls, etc. that could be damaged when drilling
any mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the Display, DirectCommand
components and flow meter from electrical system when welding
on equipment or jump starting unit to prevent component damage
due to power surges or excessive current
IMPORTANT: If using a non Ag Leader GPS receiver, make sure
to install the Null Modem Cable, included in the Display kit, to
prevent damage to the Display or the GPS receiver.
IMPORTANT: Use the Dielectric grease to coat the seals and
terminals of each connector that will be exposed to weather or
chemicals as you plug them in.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the alignment keys on the plugs and the
receptacles carefully. Do not use excessive force when mating
connectors.

Installing
the Display
Parts required for procedure:
• (1) Ag Leader INTEGRA Display
PN: 4002000
Or
• (1) EDGE Display
PN: 4001500
Or
• (1) Insight Display
PN: 4001000
From RAM Mount Kit:
• (1) RAM 201UD – 5” Arm
PN: 4000279
• (1) RAM 2451U – Base
PN: 4000280
• (1) RAM 235U - Base Double U-Bolt
PN: 4000281
Step-by-Step for
Installing the
Display
1. Turn on the current control console, if equipped with one, and
copy down the boom section widths and flow meter calibration
number.
NOTE: The Raven flow meter calibration is in pulses per
10 gallons, the Ag Leader Display requires pulses per
gallon for calibration. To calculate the appropriate values,
divide the Raven Calibration number by 10 before entering
into the Display.
NOTE:
The Raven boom section widths are in inches, the Ag
Leader Display requires boom widths in feet. Divide the Raven
widths by 12 before entering the widths into the Ag Leader
Display.
2.
Run the machine one last time to make sure all of the rate control
components are in working order before removing the console.
Verifying that all of the rate control components work properly will
help with any potential troubleshooting issues after the
installation.
3. Disconnect the cable from the back of the rate control console
and remove the console and cabling from the cab.
4. Lay the Display face down on a stable surface and align the four
holes in the RAM Mount Base PN: 4000280 with the mounting
holes in the back of the Display. Using the four Phillips pan head
screws and lock washers, secure the bracket to the Display.
5. Take the RAM Base, Double U-bolt PN: 4000281 from the RAM
Rail Mount Kit. Use the two U-bolts, nuts and washers to fasten
the mount to the rail in the right front corner of the cab.

Setting up
the Display
1. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide, PN: 2002831-38 for
setting up the Display
2. Enter the default settings from the following chart as an initial setup.
NOTE:
If it becomes necessary to change one of these default
settings make changes to one value at a time so that changes can be
evaluated accurately.
Setting
Name
Default
Value
Description
Control Valve
Configuration In Line
Servo Rate control is achieved through actuating a butterfly or ball valve in
the solution hose that goes to the booms. When the valve opens, the
flow increases, and when the valve closes, the flow decreases.
Valve
Response 1 100% Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error
exceeds the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing the value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Valve
Response 2 24% Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error is
less than the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing this value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Allowable
Error 2%
Determines the percent error that is allowed prior to the product
control system making any flow rate corrections. 2-3% is the normal
Allowable Error Range Too low of a setting will cause the system to
continually hunt for the target application rate. Too high of a setting
will cause excessive application error
Response
Threshold 3
Determines the control system switches between using Valve
Response 1 and Valve Response 2 speed settings. Decreasing this
value will have the overall effect of speeding up the servo valve
response. Increasing this value will have the overall effect of slowing
down servo valve response.
NOTE: Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value
and making a small adjustment to the Response Threshold is
usually all that is required to fine-tune the control system.
Flowmeter
Cal* *See Note This is the pulses per gallon through the flow meter. Note: Raven
flowmeter calibration numbers are in pulses per 10 gallons of product
flow. Divide the Raven calibration number by 10 before entering into
the Ag Leader Display.
* Verify the flowmeter calibration number by checking information tag on the flowmeter.
