CALIBRATING THE PRESSURE GAUGE
The pressure tap on the Raven Sprayer Control system is located away from the nozzles, thus, there can be a
pressure difference between nozzle pressure and gauge pressure at the console. Therefore, for best results,
Raven recommends the following procedure:
1. When the sprayer is ready and the tank is filled with water (No chemicals at this time), attach an
accurate pressure gauge to a nozzle in place of the spray tip.
2. Start up the pump, turn on the electric shut-off valves and adjust the pressure control valve so that the
desired pressure is maintained on the gauge at the nozzle.
3. Because of pressure drops through the system, the pressure shown on the gauge in the console may
read slightly higher than the gauge at the nozzle. Use this console pressure reading as your reference
point for maintaining the desired pressure at the nozzle.
