Console Calibration; Calculating "Boom Cal" (Liquid Applications) - Raven SCS 4600 Operator's Manual

CONSOLE CALIBRATION

1. CALCULATING "BOOM CAL"
1) Broadcast Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.
Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console.
2) Band Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing.
Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by Band Width in inches [cm]
divided by Spacing in inches [cm].
EXAMPLE: Broadcast Rate
Spacing
Band Width
Adjusted Applied Rate= GPA x Band Width
