  • Page 8: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The Raven DCS 700 (DE-ICE CONTROL SYSTEM) is designed to improve the accuracy and uniformity of granular and liquid material applications. Its performance relies on the installation and preventive maintenance of the complete system. It is important that this Installation and Service Manual be reviewed thoroughly before operating the system.
