ARAG has designed and manufactured a diagnostics system for Bravo series computers and the systems to which they may be connected.
BRAVO DSB (code 467003) provides reliable diagnostics of computer, control unit or the whole system so as to enable the resolution of any potential
problems experienced with the BRAVO DSB system.

The device you have purchased is a computer which, when connected to a valve or suitable control unit, makes it possible to control all phases of
treatment in agricultural applications directly from the cabin of the agricultural machine in which it is installed.
BRAVO 400 is a satellite navigator which can be used for agricultural purposes thanks to its GPS receiver.
