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.
 
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 farming machine it is installed in.
BRAVO 400S features a satellite navigator that – through the external GPS receiver – can be used for agricultural applications and navigation.
BRAVO 400S is not designed for use on public roads and should only be used on farmland.
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for spraying and crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and
farming machines), harmonized with 2004/108/EC Directive.
 
• 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 specied power voltage (12 Vdc).
• In case of voltaic arc welding, remove connectors from BRAVO 400S and disconnect the power cables.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.
• Bravo 400S can control hydraulic valves to open / close the boom.
The computer does not feature emergency stop devices: the manufacturer must provide all necessary safety devices for the
hydraulic boom control.
Any time one hydraulic boom section is opened or closed the computer emits an acoustic signal and the display shows the
relevant indication.The manufacturer should also provide acoustic and optical warnings in the vicinity of the boom.

Route the cable following these rules:
The Seletron units are connected to the RCU (Fig. 18) via two main wiring harnesses (1and 2), each made up of three types of cables:
head-end cable (3), extension cable (4) and termination cable (5);
the termination cable is indispensable in order to close circuit. The system will not operate without a termination cable.
Fig.18
Consider all necessary connections of the Seletron system, the cable length, and make sure there is enough space for connectors and cables.
Secure the cables with ties to protect them from damage.
Thanks to the modular concept of the system, additional EXTENSION cables can be added to the circuit to connect additional
nozzle holders and obtain the desired boom length.
To ensure proper operation of the system, observe the wiring diagram and use ONLY dedicated cables for the type of Seletron
installed (Tab. 1 - CONNECTION CABLES page 8).
WARNING! THE CABLES DESIGNED FOR CONNECTING TWIN SELETRON UNITS ON BOOMS UP TO 24 M LONG SHOULD
NEVER BE USED ON LONGER BOOMS.
RCUs, main control valve, owmeter and pressure sensor must be installed in the front section of the machine; if needed, ONLY the sensors may
be moved to a different position and connected using the extensions listed in the catalogue.
Never use an extension for any other components unless you have so agreed with the ARAG Assistance Center.
Choose and install the cables so that they retain some freedom of movement at boom joints.
BOOM JOINT
