1. INSTALLATION
For mounting the radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation. It is sug-
gested that a large, heavy mounting bracket (optional, P/N 107-0159-693) be attached to the
vehicle frame for mounting the radar. See Figure 5 on sheet 3 for details on fabricating this
bracket.
1) Park vehicle on level surface.
2) Select mounting method by considering the following:
a) The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by
structures or tires. Crop foliage 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 ob-
structions. See Figure 3.
NOTE: The radar must be mounted so that the length of the radar is parallel with direction
of travel.
3) Align mounting bracket parallel to the ground.
4) Bolt mounting bracket to equipment.
5) Bolt radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware. See Figure 4.
6) a) For SCS 400, SCS 500, SCS 700 PGM A thru D, and SCS 440 PGM A
thru D, connect radar with radar adapter (P/N 063-0159-590) to console.
See Figure 6.
b) For all other consoles, connect radar with radar interface cable
(P/N 115-0159-539) to the console. See Figure 7.
NOTE: If radar interface cable (P/N 115-0159-539 is not connected between console and
radar, the radar will not function.
CAUTION: The connection of the radar power in reverse polarity could result in dam-
age to the radar.

2. CALCULATION OF SPEED CAL FOR ALL CONSOLES (EXCEPT SCS 400)
The switches and keys referred to below are on the Raven SCS Console. Use steps 1 and 2 if
Console has SP1/SP2 select.
NOTE: Numbers in brackets [ ] are metric equivalents.
1) Reset console according to the instruction manual.
2) Complete INITIAL CONSOLE PROGRAMMING, in the Installation and Service
Manual for your console. Select SP2 for correct operation of radar. If your console
does not have SP1/SP2 select, you must either update your console’s program or
use a radar adapter (P/N 063-0159-590).
3) For all consoles except SCS 500/550, enter a SPEED CAL number of 598 [152] in
key labelled . For SCS 500/550 console, enter a SPEED CAL number of 299
[76] in key labelled .
4) Set POWER switches to ON, all other switches to OFF.
5) Enter “0” in key labelled .
6) Drive 1 mile [1 kilometer]. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and
decelerate slowly.
CAUTION: Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. Use section
lines or highway markers.
7) Read DISTANCE by depressing key labelled .
DISTANCE display should read a value of approximately 5280 [1000]. If it reads
between 5260-5300 [990-1010], the SPEED CAL is 598 [152].
If the DISTANCE display reads any other value, divide SPEED CAL by the value
observed in DISTANCE, then multiply by 5280 [1000]. This will give you the correct
value to enter for SPEED CAL. Round off to the nearest 3 digit number.
EXAMPLE: Assume DISTANCE reads 5000 [980].
ENGLISH UNITS: METRIC UNITS:
598 x 5280 = 631.48 [152] x [1000] = [155]
5000 [980]
The number to enter for SPEED CAL is 631 [155].
8) Recheck the new SPEED CAL calculated in Step 7 as follows:
a) Enter the new SPEED CAL number as in Step 3.

3. CALCULATION OF SPEED CAL FOR ALL SCS 400 CONSOLES
1) Set MAN/AUTO switch to MAN, POWER switch to ON, MASTER switch to OFF,
and BOOM switches to OFF.
2) Enter 990 as boom length in key labelled .
3) Enter “0” in keys labelled:
4) Enter SPEED CAL number of 598 [1520] in ley labelled:
5) Turn MASTER and BOOM 1 switches to ON.
6) Drive 1 mile. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and decelerate
slowly.
CAUTION: Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. Use section
lines or highway markers.
7) Read TOTAL ACRES by depressing key labelled:
The TOTAL AREA should read a value of approximately 10.0. If it reads 9.9, 10.0,
or 10.1, the SPEED CAL for your vehicle is correct.
If the TOTAL AREA display reads any other value, divide the SPEED CAL number
by the value observed in TOTAL AREA, then multiply by 10. This will give you the
correct value to enter for the SPEED CAL. Round off to the nearest 3 digit number.
EXAMPLE: Assume SPEED CAL is 598 and TOTAL AREA reads 9.3.
598 = 64.3 x 10 = 643
9.3
The number to enter for SPEED CAL is 643.
8) Recheck the new SPEED CAL calculated in Step 7 as follows:
a) Zero out TOTAL AREA display as in Step 3.
b) Enter the new SPEED CAL number as in Step 4.
c) Repeat Steps 5, 6, and 7.
