SYMBOL DEFINITION
METER CAL CONVERSIONS
To convert the METER CAL number simply divide the original number (number printed on Flow
Meter label) by the desired conversion factor.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Fluid Ounces
128
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Liters
3.785
Original METER CAL No. = METER CAL No. for displays in Pounds
Weight of one gallon
LIQUID CONVERSIONS
U.S. Gallons x 128 = Fluid Ounces
U.S. Gallons x 3.785 = Liters
U.S. Gallons x 0.83267 = Imperial Gallons
U.S. Gallons x 8.34 = Pounds (Water)
LENGTH
1 millimeter (mm) = 0.039 inch
1 centimeter (cm) = 0.393 inch
1 meter (m) = 3.281 feet
1 kilometer (km) = 0.621 mile
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters; 2.54 centimeters
1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
PRESSURE
1 psi = 6.89 kPa
AREA
1 square meter = 10.764 square feet
1 hectare (ha) = 2.471 acres; 10,000 square meters
1 acre = 0.405 hectare; 43,560 square feet
1 square mile = 640 acres; 258.9 hectares
GPM - Gallons per minute
lit/min - Liters per minute
dl/min - Deciliter per minute
PSI - Pounds per square inch

INTRODUCTION
The Raven SCS 700 (PRODUCT INJECTION SYSTEM) is designed to improve the accuracy and
uniformity of spray applications. Its performance relies on the installation and preventive maintenance of
thecompletesprayer. ItisimportantthatthisInstallationandServiceManualbereviewedthoroughlybefore
operating the system. This Manual provides a simple step-by-step procedure for installing and operating
the system.
TheSCS700consistsofacomputerbasedControlConsole,aSpeedSensor,oneortwoInjectionModules
(each includes a Motor Control and Metering Pump with sensors), an In-Line mixer, and cables. The
Console mounts directly in the cab of the vehicle for easy operator use. The Radar Speed Sensor is
mounted to the frame of the vehicle or implement (Wheel Drive and Speedometer Drive Speed Sensors
arealsoavailable). TheInjectionModulemountstotheframeworkofthesprayer. TheIn-LineMixermounts
just before the Boom On/Off Valves. Appropriate cabling is furnished for field installation.
Theoperator sets the target application rateforeach product to be sprayedandthe SCS 700 automatically
maintains the flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A manual override switch allows the
operator to manually control flow for each product for spot spraying. Actual volume per area being applied
is displayed at all times for both products. The SCS 700 additionally functions as an area monitor, speed
monitor, and volume totalizer.

PRODUCT INSTALLATIONS
1. MOUNTING THE RAVEN RADAR SPEED SENSOR
See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
See Appendix 2 Speedometer Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
For mounting the radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation:
It is suggested that a large heavy mounting bracket, (P/N 107-0159-693) be attached to the vehicle
frame for mounting the radar.
1) Park vehicle on level surface.
2) Select mounting site by considering the following:
a) The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by structures or tires.
Obstructions must not come closer than 20 inches to the bottom of the radar. See Figures
1 and 2.
b) The radar lens must be parallel to the ground from front to back. Radar can be tilted out 0-
15 degrees to provide more clearance and miss obstructions. See Figure 2.
c) The radar should be mounted so that the length of the radar is parallel with direction of
vehicle travel.
3) Use carpenters level to verify that mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.
4) Bolt mounting bracket to implement.
5) Bolt radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware. See Figure 3.
6) ConnectradarwithRadarInterfaceCable(P/N115-0159-539)totheConsole. TheRedwireshould
beconnectedtotheOrangecablewire. TheWhitewireshouldbeconnectedtothenegativeterminal
of the battery. See "BATTERY CONNECTIONS".

FIGURE 2
CAUTION: The connection of the radar power in reverse polarity could result in damage to
the radar.

2. MOUNTING THE FLOW METER
1) Mount Flow Meter in the area of the boom valves per Figure 4. All flow through Flow Meter must go
to booms only, i.e., no return line to tank or pump after Flow Meter.
2) Mount Flow Meter horizontal to the ground. Use the bracket to secure the Flow Meter.
3) For best results, allow a minimum of 7 1/2 inches [20 cm] of straight hose on inlet of Flow Meter.
Bend radius of hose on outlet of Flow Meter should be gradual.
4) Flow must be in direction of arrow on Flow Meter.
NOTE: Itis critical, when usingsuspensions,that the system bethoroughlyrinsed out each day
after use.
NOTE: If system does not use carrier control for PROD 1, the injection option shown for PROD
2 is available for use in place of carrier control.
FIGURE 4
3. MOUNTING THE CONTROL VALVE
1) Mount the motorized Control Valve in the main hose line between the Flow Meter and the booms,
withmotorintheupright position. (Forflow lessthan3GPM[11 lit/min]the motorizedControlValve
is mounted in a bypass line, refer to Appendix 3 for alternate plumbing diagram).
2) Connect Product Cable connectors to Flow Meter, Control Valve, and Injection Module. Install
Adapter Cable P/N 115-0159-456 on Control Valve.
3) Connect Boom Cable to the Boom Valves (Black wire to Valve #1, Brown wire to Valve #2, and
Blue wire to Valve #3.
