  • Page 7: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The Raven DCS 410 (De-Ice Control System) is designed to improve the uniformity and accuracy of liquid anti-ice applications. The DCS 410 consists of a microprocessor-based control console, speed sensor, liquid flow meter, shut-off valves, and a control valve.

  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION INSTALLATION OF RAVEN RADAR 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. Park vehicle on level surface.

  • Page 9: Mounting The Flow Meter

    MOUNTING FLOW METER AND CONTROL VALVE Mount Flow Meter in the area of the liquid control per Figure 5. All flow through Flow Meter must go to nozzles only, i.e., no return line to tank or pump after Flow Meter. Flow must be in direction of arrow on Flow Meter.
