Cab and Optional Components
Raven SCS 440
The Raven SCS 440 (Sprayer Control System) is stan-
dard, and the sprayer-side components (other than
speed sensor) are pre-installed.
The SCS 440 system consists of a computer-based Con-
trol Console, a Speed Sensor, a turbine type Flow Meter
and a motorized Control Valve. The Console mounts
directly in the cab of the tractor for easy operator use.
The optional speed sensor is usually tractor-mounted.
The motorized Control Valve and Flow Meter mount to
the framework supporting the boom valves. Appropriate
cabling is furnished for field installation.
The controller module must be installed in the tractor cab
prior to first use, and must be connected to one or more
tractor systems, including:
• battery power (red:+, black:-)
• existing or new speed sensor, if tractor-mounted (and
if new tractor mount, the sensor must be installed)
Your Great Plains dealer can assist with the installation.
A Raven installation and service manual are provided.
Once installed and connected for the first time, setup and
calibration steps are necessary prior to first field opera-
tions. See “Sprayer Calibration” on page 21.
It is important to read and understand the Raven manual
before operating the system.
The operator sets the target volume per area to be
sprayed and the SCS 440 automatically maintains the
flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A
manual override switch allows the operator to manually
control flow for system check-out and spot spraying.
Actual volume per area being applied is displayed at all
times. The SCS 440 additionally functions as an area
monitor, speed monitor and volume totalizer.
Raven Setup
Current 3P300 sprayers include a Raven SCS 440 con-
troller as standard equipment. The controller needs to be
installed in the tractor cab, and cables run to the sprayer,
speed sensor and battery prior to first use. Consult the
included Raven manual for installation instructions.
This data is retained as long as the SCS 440 remains
connected to battery power. If power is removed for elec-
trical work, long term tractor parking or welding, the data
is lost and must be re-entered.
Consult the Raven manual for display interpretation and
keyboard procedures.
The following data is needed for Raven setup:
