Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | From your picture it appears that you still have the Raven 460 installed. When you use the Ag Leader system, the Raven 460 would be completely removed. The Raven display and adapter cable would not be used.
I'm well aware of how sprayers work that have their own Master and section switches with a Raven 460. The Master ifOn provides power to the Section switches. If the Master is ON, each section switch gets power and can provide power to the its section valve AND back feed the Raven so that it knows which sections are ON. This allows the Raven to perform its width and thus area correctly so it can properly compute the applied rate. This is exactly what the Raven 450 does except those switches happen to be mounted in the 450. Auto swath is not available since the section valves are turned On manually through the Master and section switches on a 450 or the Master and section switches from Hagie.
When you switch to a system that uses auto swath, the path to the section valve needs to be able to controlled by the auto swath arrangement. This means the output from the Master and the Section switches must go to the Auxiliary Input Module with an Ag Leader. They thus become inputs or indicators to the system.
The system looks at these indicators as well as several other indicators, such as auto swath, implement switch, non zero target rate in order to make the decision as to whether a section should be ON or OFF. If any of these indicators indicate that a section should be OFF, it will stay OFF. All of those indicators must agree that the section should be ON, Then and only then will the Liquid Product Control Module command that section valve to Open.
I'm now thinking that possibly I'm not following what you mean by installing a jumper wire. I thought that you meant that that the output from the Hagie switches would still go to the section valve. Your last reply seems to suggest that the Hagie switch is still in direct control of the valve. It needs to be part of the "voting" process if you will that the system uses to decide if a valve should be ON or not.
The wire from your section switches that goes to 12V should only go to the special cable to the Auxiliary Input Module. The output from the Liquid Module should be the only source to trigger the section valves.
Your system is probably fine and it appears I should have stayed out of this. Both my Hagie sprayers worked properly with the methods I have described. I think this best wait until Spring when you can actually test your sprayer in actual conditions. If it works properly fine, otherwise you may need to investigate my suggestions.
