4 PRODUCT FUNCTION
Bravo 13X is an atomizer computer specifically designed for treating leafy trees, equipped with
numerous control and display functions that can be activated from the driver’s cabin:
• Speed of the vehicle;
• Quantity of liquid distributed on the field;
• Flow rate;
• Surface area treated (4 partials*);
• Distance traveled (4 partials*);
• Number of trees treated (4 partials*);
• Quantity of liquid sprayed
(function equipped with 4 partials*, only enabled in the presence
of a flowmeter in the system);
• Level of the tank (function only enabled in the presence of a flowmeter in the system);
• Battery voltage;
• Pressure
(function enabled only in the presence of a pressure transducer in the system).
The BRAVO 13X main operating principle that differentiates it from other BRAVO family computers
is the possibility of identifying the presence of plants on the sides of the tractor through the use of
ultrasound sensors and, thus, of only spraying plants and avoiding the waste of chemicals.
The BRAVO 132 must be equipped with two ultrasound sensors (mounted at the sides of the tractor)
to trip the control unit valves (two section valves, one pressure control valve and one drain valve)
and increase/decrease the sprayer delivery.
The model BRAVO 134 can be equipped with four sensors to detect trees of different heights and to
spray only where needed. BRAVO 134 can be connected to control units consisting of four section
valves, a pressure control valve and a drain valve.
* By partial we mean a memory area containing data relative to a parameter previou-
sly set and stored, which can be recalled at the time of use.
