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 any explanations.
THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORISED AND SKILLED PERSONNEL ONLY. THE MANUFACTURER IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OPERATION SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL CARRIED OUT BY UNAUTHORISED 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 BEFORE ASSEMBLY
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.
2 INTENDED USE
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.
The computer is directly connected to the system by means of two cables connected to the hydraulic and control unit valves and the sensors. In the
cabin you nd all controls necessary to manage the system ensuring great safety during the job.
Bravo 400S LT features a satellite navigator that – through the external GPS receiver – can be used for agricultural applications and navigation.
Bravo 400S LT 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 equipment is designed and built in compliance with UNI EN ISO 14982 standard (Agricultural and forestry machinery -
Electromagnetic compatibility - Test methods and acceptance criteria), harmonized with EMC Directive - 2014/30/EU.
3 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 specied power voltage (12 VDC).
• In case of voltaic arc welding, remove connectors from Bravo 400S LT and disconnect the power cables.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.
• Bravo 400S LT can control hydraulic valves to open/close the multi-row sprayer booms.
The computer does not feature emergency stop devices: the manufacturer must provide all necessary safety devices for the
hydraulic valve control.
Any time one hydraulic 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 it.
