•Manual foreword and use
This manual provides instructions to assemble, connect and set the computers of the BRAVO 300S family.
Any other information is provided in specific sheets to be used exclusively by the installer, containing specific information of each computer model.
•Manual use modes
The section of this manual dedicated to the installation contains information for installers. For this reason we have used technical terms without providing explanations which would be necessary for end users only.
THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORISED AND SKILLED PERSONNEL ONLY.ARAG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OPERATION SPECIFIED INTHIS MANUAL CARRIED OUT BY UNAUTHORISED OR UNSKILLED PERSONNEL.
•Limitations
The descriptions of the assembly phases refer to a "general" computer, so specific models will not be mentioned, unless a certain installation procedure concerns exclusively one computer type.
•Responsibility
The installer must carry out workmanlike installations and ensure to the end user the perfect operation of the whole system both with ARAG components only and other brands' components.
ARAG always recommends using its components to install control systems.
The installer will be held responsible for any malfunction if he decides to use other brands' components even without actually changing the system parts or harness.
The compatibility check with components and accessories of other manufacturers shall be carried out by the installer.
If the computer or the ARAG components installed together with other brands' components get damaged because of what stated above, no direct or indirect warranty will be provided.
1Risks and protections before assembly
All installation works must be done with battery disconnected, using suitable tools and any individual protection equipment deemed necessary.
Use ONLY clean water for treatment tests and simulations: using chemicals during simulated treatment runs can seriously injure persons in the vicinity.
2Bravo DSB
ARAG has designed and manufactured a diagnostics system for Bravo series computers and the systems they may be connected to.
BRAVO DSB (code 467003) provides reliable diagnostics of computer, control unit or the whole system to troubleshoot any potential problems experienced with the BRAVO DSB system.

3Intended use
Bravo 300S is a computer which, when connected to a valve or suitable control unit, makes it possible to control all phases of treatment in agricultural applications directly from the cabin of the farming machine it is installed in.
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming machines), harmonized with 2004/108/EC Directive.
4Precautions
•Do not aim water jets at the equipment.
•Do not use solvents or fuel to clean the case outer surface.
•Do not clean equipment with direct water jets.
•Comply with the specified power voltage (12 Vdc).
•In case of voltaic arc welding, remove connectors from BRAVO 300S and disconnect the power cables.
•Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.
