Flow Meter & Pressure Transducer Location

Flow Control Valve

The flow control valve regulates the flow going
to the boom sections directed via the console. It
controls the flow to the boom by regulating the
amount of liquid that bypasses back to tank.
The flow control valve is a positive ball valve which
means it can control flow infinitely to the boom
from 0 L/min to the maximum pump output,
dependant on system pressure.

Rate Control Module (RCM)

Consult your Raven RCM operation manual supplied
for detailed setup and calibration information.

Flow Meter

If the sprayed volume from the controller does not
1
match the tank volume that was sprayed out, then
the flow meter will need to be checked and a new
updated figure input into the 'Meter Cal' in the Raven
controller.
• On the flow meter on the sprayer, there will be
a calibration number attached to it on a white
sticker. The number that is applicable is the one
in square brackets, i.e. [185]. Note this number
down as this is the number that should be
entered as the 'Meter Cal' number.

The flow control valve can be operated in manual
mode from the console for boom priming, flushing
and also troubleshooting.
• The flow meter should be checked at the start of
2
every spraying season and periodically during the
season.
• The simplest way to check the accuracy of the
flow meter is to fill the tank to a previously
determined volume mark (usually top fill marking).
while making sure the tank is level.
• On the Raven controller, make sure the 'Total
Volume' reads '0'.
