CALCULATE THE BOOM CAL VALUE

BROADCAST SPRAYING
Calculate the Boom Cal value in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing between the tips. Be
sure to write down these figures for future reference when programming the console.
FIGURE 1. Boom Sections
BAND SPRAYING
Calculate the Boom Cal value in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing between the tips.
Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by the Band Width in inches [cm], then
divide by the spacing in inches [cm].
FOR EXAMPLE:
Broadcast Rate
Spacing
Band Width
GPA x Band Width
Spacing
20 x 14
40
[200] x [40]
[100]

CALCULATE THE SPEED CAL VALUE

RAVEN RADAR ONLY
The initial Speed Cal value for Raven radar is 598 [152]. After the initial console programming has been performed,
this value may be adjusted to optimize the system's performance.
