AutoBoom
The Raven OS device and AutoBoom system must be calibrated specifically for each vehicle or implement
before being used to provide automated boom height control. Calibration of the AutoBoom system requires
hydraulic fluid pressure and sufficient boom travel to allow the system to detect the base duty cycles for boom
operation.
During calibration and operation, the booms must be free to travel 10 inches [25 cm] up and down without
reaching cylinder stops. It is also important to keep the machine running at sufficient engine RPM so that the
hydraulic pump is able to supply a full flow to the hydraulic system.
Note:
If the machine has an open center hydraulic system, or the type of hydraulic system is unknown,
all calibration procedures should be performed with the engine at the normal operating RPM.
The following items must be completed to successfully test and calibrate the AutoBoom system:
Detect the AutoBoom system with the Raven OS and setup a machine configuration. See the Raven

Operating System (ROS) Basic Operation Manual for additional assistance.
Test and verify AutoBoom installation on the implement. See the Pre-Calibration Hydraulic Diagnostics
