CHAPTER2 INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
Raven AccuBoom reduces chemical use and minimizes overlapping application during field operations. AccuBoom
provides automatic section on and off control during field operations based upon GPS position of the implement
and the existing coverage map created during the job.
NOTE: With a Raven rate control system configured for automatic rate control, the system will automatically
adjust the rate of product applied as section valves are opened or closed to maintain the desired
coverage and spray or spread pattern.
ACCUBOOM™ SYSTEMS
Several hardware options are available for adding the
AccuBoom feature to many existing application control systems.
Contact a local Raven dealer for additional information on
adding AccuBoom to an implement or fleet.
NOTE: When used with a CAN product control system,
AccuBoom requires a boom/speed node with
program D or newer for proper AccuBoom
operation.
SWITCH PRO™ AND CAN SWITCH BOX
If a Raven Switch Pro or CAN switch box is installed with the ROS device, the section switches must be in the “Accu”
position to allow AccuBoom control of the assigned sections. If the section switches are in the “ON” or “OFF”
position, the AccuBoom feature will treat the section as manually overridden and will not automatically turn the
section on or off based on previous application areas or zone boundaries.
NOTE: If connected, the Switch Pro or CAN switch box must be used as the primary control interface for
section, master or product control status.
ACCUBOOM OPERATION
AccuBoom may be used in two ways to best fit the type of field operation and the type of control necessary
during the application:
Covered
Area
“No-
Spray”
Zone

CHAPTER 2
6 ROS AccuBoom™ Calibration & Operation Manual
Basic AccuBoom. When enabled during any active job, AccuBoom will automatically toggle sections on or off
based upon areas previously covered in the job. As the implement covers field area, AccuBoom references the
coverage map created by the ROS device. As the implement crosses into an area previously covered during the
job, AccuBoom will automatically shut off any sections in the covered area while the other sections remain on.
As the implement crosses out of the previously covered area, AccuBoom will re-activate sections for normal
operation. Basic operation requires no previous field scouting or input from the operator for operation.
NOTE: All automatic section control will be based upon the coverage map only.
Field Boundaries and Zone Maps. Zone maps may be created for each field to scout areas and features where
product application or coverage should be avoided. Areas such as well heads, water ways, tree lines, rock piles,
etc., may be assigned to “no-spray” or “no-plant” zones. As the implement crosses a zone boundary for a “no-
spray” area during the job, AccuBoom will automatically shut off any sections that cross into the zone while the
other sections remain on. As the implement crosses out of the zone, AccuBoom will re-activate sections for normal
operation.
Field boundaries may be recorded or loaded into an active job to control sections at the field perimeter.
AccuBoom will assign the area within the completed field boundary to a normal “spray” or “plant” zone. “No-
spray” or “no-plant” zones may be added to the zone map later to modify the map as necessary. AccuBoom will
also assign a everything outside of the field boundary to a “no-spray” or “no-plant” zone. Additional “spray” or
“plant” zones may be added to this area to modify the boundary if necessary.
NOTE: Do not approach nurse trucks or refilling stations while automatic section control is enabled. Toggle
the master switch to keep AccuBoom from turning on sections unexpectedly.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
Perform the following steps to ensure the machine will function properly with the AccuBoom feature before
installing, activating, or operating any AccuBoom components and at the beginning of each season:
• Verify operation of section or boom on/off valves and control valves and switches prior to engaging the
AccuBoom feature. Troubleshoot and replace any components not operating as expected.
• Ensure that there are no issues with the function of the factory product control system (e.g. pump issues, faulty
hydraulic motors, clogged strainer or spray tips, etc.).
• Toggle the master switch to the off position when closing or exiting a job to avoid unintentional product
application once the ROS device or control console closes application management functions. It is also good
practice to shut off product and section switches when the application system is not being used.
• Use clean water in liquid tanks or an empty granular bin when testing the AccuBoom feature after installation
or at the beginning of each season.
WARNING
Carefully read and follow all safety requirements
and precautions contained in this manual and the
machine or implement operation instructions.
Failure to follow safety instructions may lead to
equipment damage, personal injury, or death.

CHAPTER3 CALIBRATION
ACCUBOOM™ CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
After installing the AccuBoom feature, verify that any switch hardware for controlling section on/off valves controls
the expected section valves when the switch is toggled.
NOTE: AccuBoom will require a constant 12 V on and 0 V off signal to properly monitor and control section
status during field operations. Pulsed or momentary switches will not work with the AccuBoom
feature.
For best results controlling liquid application systems, ensure spray tips, product strainers, or filters are clean and
unobstructed. Use clean water to test and verify the AccuBoom installation.
CALIBRATION
Prior to using the AccuBoom feature during a field operation, the system should be calibrated or tuned for each
product and the control hardware connected to the control system.
ACCUBOOM™ LOOK AHEAD SETTINGS
The AccuBoom “look ahead” settings are used to adjust how far ahead of the current equipment position the
system is allowed to scan for coverage or zone map changes. The off look ahead and on look ahead values may be
used to help compensate for the time it takes for valves to close or to establish a spray or spread pattern when
turning sections on.
NOTE: Setting the look ahead values too high may cause valves to begin opening or closing too early. This
may cause skips, overlaps, or undesirable product application in some areas. Generally, a value
between 1 to 2 seconds will yield best results. Look ahead settings should not exceed 5 seconds.
Do not enter negative values for either the on or off look ahead values.
To set up the AccuBoom look ahead settings:
1. Touch the Edit icon in the Machine Configuration panel to expand the panel.
Edit AccuBoom AccuBoom

features on or off for field operations. This feature may be useful for operations in which automatic section control
may not be desired. AccuBoom enabled is a global settings and applies to all products.
CORRECTED COVERAGE
Corrected Coverage does not affect AccuBoom Performance, it only affects how the system paints to coverage.
Corrected Coverage can only be turned on or off while out of a job.
If Corrected Coverage is disabled, it is commanded by the commanded state. If Corrected Coverage is enabled,
the Turn-On and Turn-Off Look-Aheads are applied to the coverage. Also, when enabled, Corrected Coverage will
remove the no applied areas when coming into the headlands as a result of AccuBoom off look-ahead.
•With a one second Turn-On Look-Ahead, the system will delay the painting for one second when
coming out of an applied area.
•With a .5 second Turn-Off Look-Ahead the system will continue to paint for .5 seconds when
coming into an applied area.
NOTE: If Corrected Coverage is not enabled when closing the job it will not save and exported with
Corrected Coverage. If Corrected Coverage is enabled when closing the job, it will save and export
with Corrected Coverage.
APPLY TO ALL PRODUCTS OPTION
Enable the “Apply to all products” option at the top of the AccuBoom Settings tab to apply the displayed settings
to all control channels on the CANbus. Use this option to quickly configure consistent AccuBoom settings to all
control channels available on the CANbus. Each channel may be tuned individually later if desired. “Apply All
Products” only affects the Look Ahead Options.
LOOK AHEAD TYPE
Look ahead values may be entered in either time (seconds determined by vehicle speed) or distance (inches or
centimeters).
Time. The time option is the recommended method for calibrating the look ahead values. This method allows the
system to use the current vehicle speed to calculate when the system should begin controlling valves.

3
Manual No. 016-1001-087 Rev. E 13
Calibration:
Distance. The distance option allows the operator to measure the distance which the system is currently
overlapping for coverage and the equipment speed at the time of the measurement to adjust the system
performance.
NOTE: If look ahead values are entered in distance, the equipment must travel at a consistent and constant
speed to avoid skips or overlaps in coverage.
Select the look ahead type best suited for the implement, field operation, or control system currently connected
with the ROS device.
LOOK AHEAD OPTIONS
The following settings displayed on the AccuBoom Settings tab may be used to adjust or fine tune AccuBoom
feature response for each control channel on the CANbus. Refer to the following sections for assistance with
making system adjustments:
Off-Look Ahead. The off look ahead value is the time or distance ahead of the current section positions which the
system will scan for disabling section application. Use the off look ahead value to adjust AccuBoom response for
the time or distance it takes to stop product flow, lose the spray or spread pattern, or stop applying product after
toggling the master switch off.
NOTE: A value of 0 (zero) seconds is generally a good starting point and may be increased to fine tune the
AccuBoom system if necessary.
Do not set the off look ahead value higher than the value entered for the on look ahead setting.
On-Look Ahead. The on look ahead value is the time or distance ahead of the current section positions which the
system will scan for activating section application. Use the on look ahead value to adjust AccuBoom response for
the time or distance it takes to obtain the desired spray or spread pattern, or begin applying product after
toggling the master switch on.
NOTE: A value of 2 seconds is generally a good starting point and may be adjusted as necessary to fine tune
the AccuBoom system for the specific implement or control system.
Do not enter an on look ahead value lower than the value entered for the off look ahead setting.
ON OVERRIDE
The on override value is the time which the system will override automatic section control and enable any sections
currently disabled or turned off due to AccuBoom control. Use the on override value to set the time which the
system should override AccuBoom section commands and keep sections on. This feature may be used when
starting application with the equipment at a complete stop or to manually override all sections on for the set
number of seconds.
NOTE: This setting is for the on-screen override and does not apply to the override switch on a CAN switch
box.
The default on override value is five seconds.
The override will only activate sections set for automatic section control. Any sections configured for
manual control, or set on or off manually, will not be affected by the AccuBoom Override feature.
TURN OFF PERCENT
The turn off percent is the percentage of the section width which must cross a zone boundary, or into a previous
application area, before AccuBoom will control that section.

CHAPTER 3
14 ROS AccuBoom™ Calibration & Operation Manual
The default value for the turn off percent is 99. Using the default setting, when 99% of a section crosses over a
“no-spray” zone or into a previously applied area, AccuBoom will toggle the section off. When applying over point
rows, it may be necessary to adjust the turn off percent value to adjust the AccuBoom system to avoid skips or
overlaps in coverage as desired.
NOTE: The default value of 99% is set to virtually guarantee complete field coverage during field operations.
Depending upon the accuracy of GPS corrections being used, and the configured section widths,
setting the turn off percent too low may cause AccuBoom to shut off sections unexpectedly within the
field. Setting the turn off percent too high may cause AccuBoom not to shut off section as expected.
With any turn off percent value, observe the feature control of sections during field operations and
adjust the value to obtain the desired performance.

CHAPTER
4
Manual No. 016-1001-087 Rev. E 15
CHAPTER 4 OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The following items may be useful when operating the AccuBoom feature during field operations:
1. Scouting widget for zone mapping.
2. AccuBoom override widget to manually override automatic section control.
3. Section status widget to monitor section controls.
4. Forward override to ensure equipment heading is mapping in the correct direction when starting from a stop
and to ensure automatic section control toggles the correct sections.
OPERATIONAL NOTES
NOTE: Make sure to toggle the master switch to the off position when closing or exiting a job to avoid
unintentional product application once the ROS device closes application management functions. It is
also good practice to shut off product and section switches when the application system is not being
used.
DISABLING ACCUBOOM CONTROL
Disable automatic section control when approaching nurse trucks or refilling stations, or anytime a safe working
distance has diminished. If the equipment travels outside of the covered field area, or the surrounding “no-spray”
zone (if applicable), AccuBoom will activate sections as though they were in an uncovered area within the field
area. To keep AccuBoom from activating sections unexpectedly, toggle the master switch to the off position.
Toggle the master switch to the off position when closing or exiting a job to avoid unintentional product
application once the ROS device closes application management functions.
RAVEN CAN SWITCH BOX OR SWITCH PRO
If a Raven CAN Switch Box or Switch Pro is installed with the ROS device, the section switches must be in the ‘Accu’
position to allow AccuBoom control for the assigned sections. If the section switches are in the ‘On’ or ‘Off’
position, the AccuBoom system will treat the section as manually overridden and will not automatically turn the
section on or off based on previous application areas or field boundaries.
NOTE: The CAN Switch Box or Switch Pro must be used as the primary control interface for section, master
or product control status.
