INTRODUCTION
• MANUAL USE MODES
The section of this manual dedicated to the installation contains information for installers. For this reason we have used technical terms without
providing explanations which would be necessary for end users only.
THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORIZED AND SKILLED PERSONNEL ONLY. ARAG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY OPERATION SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL CARRIED OUT BY UNAUTHORIZED OR UNSKILLED PERSONNEL.
• RESPONSIBILITY
The installer must carry out "workmanlike" installations and ensure to the end user the perfect operation of the whole system both with ARAG
components only and other brands' components.
ARAG always recommends using its components to install control systems.
The installer will be held responsible for any malfunction if he decides to use other brands' components even without actually changing the system
parts or harness.
The compatibility check with components and accessories of other manufacturers shall be carried out by the installer.
If the ARAG components installed together with other brands' components get damaged because of what stated above, no direct or indirect
warranty will be provided.
1 RISKS AND PROTECTIONS
All installation works must be done with battery disconnected, using suitable tools and any individual protection equipment
deemed necessary.
Use ONLY clean water for treatment tests and simulations: using chemicals during simulated treatment runs can seriously
injure persons in the vicinity.
DO NOT WORK NEAR THE BOOM WHILE THE BLC CONTROL SYSTEM IS IN OPERATION.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BLC Visio is the stand alone system for boom leveling control (BLC) that allows keeping the sprayer arm parallel to the field orientation and managing
its distance from the ground through the dedicated control unit - IBX100 hydraulic control unit- so as to ensure an even spraying covering.
The IBX100 hydraulic unit supplied with the BLC kit is already active for use.
A new activation code is NECESSARY ONLY with the purchase of a spare control unit (activation procedure on page20).
3 INTENDED USE
The equipment is designed and built to work on agricultural machinery for spraying and crop spraying applications on golf
courses, in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming machines, for green
spaces and gardens) harmonized with Directive 2014/30/EU.
4 PRECAUTIONS
• Do not aim water jets at the equipment.
• Do not use solvents or fuel to clean the case outer surface.
• Do not clean equipment with direct water jets.
• Comply with the specified power voltage (12 VDC).

7 INSTALLATION OF ULTRASONIC SENSORS
It is the installer responsibility to check that all indications described are complied with.
The images relevant to sensors are purely indicative.
Precautions to follow for a long-lasting installation:
• Fix the sensor to a strong structure.
• Protect sensor body and connector with a guard.
• Keep sensor sensitive surface clean.
• Clean only with a soft wet cloth.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or products.
• Do not clean equipment with direct water jets.

INSTALLATION
7.1 Sensor correct identification and positioning
Two types of layouts are available:
• BASIC SETUP - with a pair of sensors US1 + US2 (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
Place the sensors in relation to the boom center CC:
US1 (LH side) + US2 (RH side) = external pair of sensors (far from boom center), at a distance from boom end corresponding
approximately to 30% of the half-boom length.
• COMPLETE SETUP - with two pairs of sensors US1 + US2 and US3 + US4 (Fig. 10).
Fig. 10
Place the sensors in relation to the boom center CC:
US1 (LH side) + US2 (RH side) = external pair of sensors (far from boom center) refer to basic setup.
US3 + US4 = internal pair of sensors (the ones closest to boom center), at a distance from boom center corresponding to
approximately 30% of the half-boom length.
Install the US1 / US3 sensors on the LH side of the boom and the US2 / US4 sensors on the RH side (rear view of the tractor).
The configuration with two pairs of sensors is to be preferred: in case of very large booms, it allows creating an average of the
distances of sensors from ground unevennesses.
Furthermore, the sensitive surface of the sensors must be positioned ALWAYS HIGHER than nozzle outlet (LV > 0 mm, Fig. 11).

INSTALLATION
7.2 Sensor optimal orientation
Fig. 12
• Lateral inclination (internal)
The sensors must be oriented towards the nearest side of the tractor; an inclination
of 5° is recommended and useful to compensate the gradient of the boom due to
the BLC system correction.
Fig. 13
• Forward inclination / height
As the ultrasound emission of the sensor has a conical shape with an amplitude of
approx. 15°, advance the sensors by 15° with respect to the tractor travel direction.
This inclination allows avoiding interferences with the cone outlet of the liquid
sprayed by the nozzles.
To optimize the sensor measuring capacity it might be also useful to move the
sensor position forward (always in relation to the travel direction) and / or increase
their height with respect to the nozzle outlet.
ALWAYS avoid the range of action of the sensor to superimpose the
spraying cone.
Fig. 14
• Minimum distance between the sensors
If the sensors are too close to one another ultrasound superimpositions may occur
causing system errors: respect the minimum distance of 2500 mm.
MIN.
25O mm
Fig. 15
• Minimum distance between the sensor and the ground
Position the sensor at a height such as to have a minimum distance of 250 mm
from the ground, in all possible working conditions.
A distance smaller than this threshold does not allow the correct operation of
the sensor, causing a wrong height measurement and possible unforeseen
movements.
It is the installer responsibility to check that the measurements detected by the sensors are correct and to avoid possible
interferences with the cone outlet of the liquid sprayed by the nozzles.

INSTALLATION
8 WIRING CONNECTIONS
• Use original ARAG harnesses only.
• Take care not to break, pull, tear or cut the cables.
• Use of unsuitable cables not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty.
• ARAG is not liable for any damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions.
8.1 General precautions for a correct harness position
• Securing the cables:
- secure the harness so that it does not interfere with moving parts;
- route the harnesses so that they cannot be damaged or broken by machine movements or twisting.
• Routing the cables to protect against water infiltrations:
- the cable branches must ALWAYS be facing down.
• Fitting the cables to the connection points:
- Do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts may be damaged and system operation may be compromised.
Use ONLY the cables and accessories indicated in the catalog, having technical features suitable for the use to be made of them.
8.2 Power supply connection
WARNING:
TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS, DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CABLES TO BATTERY BEFORE THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED.

It adjusts the power applied by the BLC control to lift / lower the boom.
The easiest way to adjust the aggressiveness value is to check for the presence of swingings during
boom movement - from maximum to minimum height.
Too high or too low values make the control unstable and cause vibrations; adjust the aggressiveness
value until reaching a smooth implement control without jerks.
Carry out this procedure with the BOOM COMPLETELY OPEN:
1Check that the boom is perfectly horizontal to the ground.
2 Set the spraying height to the minimum value (Spraying height. menu, par. 13.1).
3Bring the rotation speed of the power take-off to the typical operating value.
4Disable the BLC control: activate the MANUAL mode (par. 15.2).
5Set an aggressiveness value (Fig. 37).
6Bring the boom to the maximum height (activate the lifting switch on the pre-existing hydraulic control panel).
7Enable the BLC control: activate the AUTOMATIC mode (par. 15.2).
The boom will move automatically to reach the spraying height:
• If boom movement is too slow and with jerks, the aggressiveness level is too low.
Repeat the procedure from point 4, increasing the value.
• If the boom moves too quickly and swinging the aggressiveness level is too high.
As before, repeat the procedure from point 4, decreasing the value.
The ideal adjustment is obtained when boom movement is smooth, without jerks.

It adjusts the power applied by the BLC control to rotate the boom.
The easiest way to adjust the aggressiveness value is to check for swingings during boom rotation.
Too high or too low values make the control unstable and cause vibrations; adjust the aggressiveness
value until reaching a smooth implement control without jerks.
Carry out this procedure with the BOOM COMPLETELY OPEN:
1 Set the boom rotation center Cto maximum height.
2Bring the rotation speed of the power take-off to the typical operating value.
3Disable the BLC control: activate the MANUAL mode (par. 15.2).
4Set an aggressiveness value (Fig. 38).
5Bring the boom LH end to the minimum height (activate the lifting switch on the pre-existing hydraulic control panel).
6Enable the BLC control: activate the AUTOMATIC mode (par. 15.2).
The boom will rotate automatically to reach the horizontal position:
• If boom movement is too slow and with jerks, the aggressiveness level is too low.
Repeat the procedure from point 3, increasing the value.
• If the boom moves too quickly and swinging the aggressiveness level is too high.
As before, repeat the procedure from point 3, decreasing the value.
The ideal adjustment is obtained when boom movement is smooth, without jerks.
The Tilt ctrl aggress. parameter works in combination with the following Tilt speed damping on page19:
if aggressiveness setup is not as desired, increase the gain and repeat the adjustment.

Gain height error - PROPORTIONAL GAIN ON BOOM HEIGHT CONTROL
Fig. 39
Height error gain
0100.0
Min value 0.0
Max value 9999.9
Use of the keys at the bottom of the page.
This parameter works in combination with the aggressiveness of the boom height control.
It reduces the error between the set spraying height and the one effectively reached with the BLC system.
Before entering the gain factor set the aggressiveness (Height ctrl aggr.menu on page18).
The easiest way to determine the value is to check the boom height after the BLC system has completed the correction; adjust the gain, if
necessary.
Carry out this procedure with the BOOM COMPLETELY OPEN:
1Check that the boom is perfectly horizontal to the ground.
2 Set the spraying height to the minimum value (Spraying height. menu, par. 13.1).
3Bring the rotation speed of the power take-off to the typical operating value.
4Disable the BLC control: activate the MANUAL mode (par. 15.2).
5Bring the boom to the maximum height (activate the lifting switch on the pre-existing hydraulic control panel).
6Set a gain value (Fig. 39).
7Enable the BLC control: activate the AUTOMATIC mode (par. 15.2).
The boom will move automatically to reach the spraying height.
Check the height reached:
• If the boom has exceeded the set height, repeat the procedure from point 4, decreasing the value.
• If the boom has not reached the set height, repeat the procedure from point 4, increasing the value.
Now, if the boom lifting control exceeds the set height, lower the aggressiveness and repeat the procedure relevant to the gain.

Use of the keys at the bottom of the page.
This parameter works in combination with the aggressiveness of the boom leveling control.
It allows the BLC system to rotate the boom without swingings or position errors.
Before entering the damping factor, set the aggressiveness (Tilt ctrl aggress.menu on
page18):
if the setup of Tilt ctrl aggress. is not carried out properly, increase the gain value (Fig. 40).
