Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn.
I'm quite sure the Ag Leader Liquid Control module will NOT be able to handle the 15 Amp load that your electric pump may impose.

As I envision this setup you would need some type of PWM driver board. This device would go "in between" the pump motor and the LCM. The load of running the pump would be handled by the Driver box.

The PWM output of the LCM was designed to work with PWM valves (generally hydraulic) where the system controls the opening of the valve which in turn determines the flow rate of the oil to an orbit motor. In these situations, the electrical load on the LCM is fairly low since it is not actually doing the work of moving the product.

IF the system were able to handle the pump, you would use the two pole connector that would usually go to the Raven butterfly. When the configuration is setup as PWM, the system will send out 12V pulses. The system will change the width of these pulses in an attempt to get the applied rate to match the target rate.
