Software Fixes
During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive
such Fixes to the Product software that Trimble releases and makes
commercially available and for which it does not charge separately,
subject to the procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble
products generally. If you have purchased the Product from an
authorized Trimble dealer rather than from Trimble directly,
Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix to the Trimble
dealer for final distribution to you. Minor Updates, Major Upgrades,

For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply:
(1) “Fix(es)” means an error correction or other update created to fix
a previous software version that does not substantially conform to
its Trimble specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when
enhancements are made to current features in a software program;
and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs when significant new features are
added to software, or when a new product containing new features
replaces the further development of a current product line. Trimble
reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what
constitutes a Fix, Minor Update, or Major Upgrade.
Warranty Remedies
If the Trimble Product fails during the warranty period for reasons
covered by this limited warranty and you notify Trimble of such
failure during the warranty period, Trimble will repair OR replace
the nonconforming Product with new, equivalent to new, or
reconditioned parts or Product, OR refund the Product purchase
price paid by you, at Trimble’s option, upon your return of the
Product in accordance with Trimble's product return procedures
then in effect.
How to Obtain Warranty Service

the extent that (a) the Product is properly and correctly installed,
configured, interfaced, maintained, stored, and operated in
accordance with Trimble's applicable operator's manual and
specifications, and; (b) the Product is not modified or misused. This
Product limited warranty shall not apply to, and Trimble shall not

Safety Information
In this chapter:
QConfiguring vehicles with
solenoid boom valves for use with
the EZ-Boom 2010 System
Always follow the instructions that
accompany a Caution. The information it
provides is intended to minimize the risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
CCAUTION – This alert warns of a
hazard or unsafe practice which,
if not avoided, can cause injury or
damage.
Note – An absence of specific
alerts does not mean that there
are no safety risks involved.

vi EZ-Boom 2010 System Troubleshooting Guide
Configuring vehicles with solenoid boom valves for use with
the EZ-Boom 2010 System
For vehicles equipped with three-wire motorized boom valves, the EZ-Boom 2010
system controller is rated to drive all ten (10) boom sections.
For vehicles with solenoid boom valves, you may need to modify the vehicle, or the
vehicle configuration, to ensure that the total current draw does not exceed 16 Amps.
CCAUTION – Before using solenoid boom valves, calculate the maximum total current
draw. Do not allow the total to exceed 16 Amps. A higher current draw can cause the
EZ-Boom controller to overheat and malfunction. To keep below the 16 Amp limit, modify
your vehicle setup or configuration.
Calculating the maximum total current draw
1. Find the maximum current draw for one of the solenoid boom valves. If there is
no rating in the manufacturer’s documentation, contact the vendor.
2. Multiply the maximum current draw for one valve by the total number of
solenoid boom valves on the vehicle. For example, if one valve has a maximum
current draw of 3 Amps:
Reducing the maximum total current draw
If the total current draw is greater than 16 Amps, do one of the following:
•Use fewer boom valves on the vehicle.
•Add external relays to each of the solenoid valves to reduce the current draw
from the EZ-Boom system.
•Replace solenoid valves with three-wire motorized boom valves.
This many boom
valves ...
Would result in a total maximum current
draw of ...
5 5 x 3 Amp = 15 Amp
9 9 x 3 Amp = 27 Amp

EZ-Boom system error message 4600: “Rate Not Responding”
Cause
A critical EZ-Boom system error has occurred. The difference between the actual flow
and the target flow has been greater than 30% for at least 6 seconds. This message
appears when the error first occurs and every second of continuous error after that
until it is corrected.
Possible failure modes
•The target rate is outside the operating range of the spray nozzles.
•The target rate is outside the operating range of the solution pump.
•The target rate cannot be maintained because the sprayer speed is too low or
too high.
•The flow control valve setup is incorrect.
Note – If this is only an occasional problem, use the display to clear the controller error
and continue to operate.
Solution
STEP 1: Clear the error message (EZ-Guide Plus lightbar)
a. Write down the error message.
b. Press o.
Clear the error message (FieldManager display)
a. Write down the error message.
b. On the display, check the error detail.
c. Tap OK.
STEP 2: Check the following setup parameters
a. Check that the flow control valve setup is correct.
BTip – If your sprayer has a bypass servo, check that there is no crossover cable
connected to the flow control valve. On Raven systems, this cable is required
to allow the Raven flow controller to correctly adjust the valve. On an
EZ-Boom system, this cable is not required. If a crossover cable is not fitted but
the EZ-Boom system cannot properly control a bypass flow control valve, try
changing the control valve setup to Inline Servo.
b. Check that the target rate is within the operating parameters of the spray
nozzles at your spraying speed.
BTip – Refer to your spray nozzle selection chart for information relating to
flow and speed.

6EZ-Boom 2010 System Troubleshooting Guide
If necessary, do one of the following:
– change the spray nozzles
– adjust your target rate and/or speed to match the target rate to the
sprayer nozzles
c. Check that the solution pump is able to deliver the correct flow for your
specified target rate. If necessary, change the spray nozzles or adjust your
target rate and/or speed to bring the required flow to within the
capabilities of the solution pump.
Step 3: Check the strainers
Check that the strainers on the sprayer are not blocked.

Cause
A critical EZ-Boom system error has occurred. The boom is turned on and the current
feedback is greater than 5.3 A. This message appears when the error first occurs and
every 10 seconds of continuous error after that until it is corrected.
Possible failure modes
•There is a faulty boom valve.
Note – If this is only an occasional problem, use the display to clear the controller error
and continue to operate.
Solution
STEP 1: Clear the error message (EZ-Guide Plus lightbar)
a. Write down the error message.
b. Press o.
Clear the error message (FieldManager display)
a. Write down the error message.
b. On the display, check the error detail.
c. Tap OK.
STEP 2: Check the current to the EZ-Boom controller
a. With a multitester, check the current to pin 6 of the 16-pin connector on
the EZ-Boom controller while boom section 1 is turned on.
b. If the current is greater than 5.3 A, check the vehicle wiring and the boom
valve.
STEP 3: Check that pin 3 and pin 1 share a grounding point
Check that pin 3 on the CAN connector and pin 1 on the 16-pin main connector
are both connected to the same electrical ground point:
a. Attach a multitester to pin 3 on the CAN connector harness and pin 1 on
the 16-pin main connector harness.
b. Measure the resistance. The resistance should be < 0.3 ohms.

EZ-Boom system error message 4A01: “Boom 4 Over Current”
Cause
A critical EZ-Boom system error has occurred. The boom is turned on and the current
feedback is greater than 5.3 A. This message appears when the error first occurs and
every 10 seconds of continuous error after that until it is corrected.
Possible failure modes
•There is a faulty boom valve.
Note – If this is only an occasional problem, use the display to clear the controller error
and continue to operate.
Solution
STEP 1: Clear the error message (EZ-Guide Plus lightbar)
a. Write down the error message.
b. Press o.
Clear the error message (FieldManager display)
a. Write down the error message.
b. On the display, check the error detail.
c. Tap OK.
STEP 2: Check the current to the EZ-Boom controller
a. With a multitester, check the current to pin 7 of the 16-pin connector on
the EZ-Boom controller while boom section 4 is turned on.
b. If the current is greater than 5.3 A, check the vehicle wiring and the boom
valve.
STEP 3: Check that pin 3 and pin 1 share a grounding point
Check that pin 3 on the CAN connector and pin 1 on the 16-pin main connector
are both connected to the same electrical ground point:
a. Attach a multitester to pin 3 on the CAN connector harness and pin 1 on
the 16-pin main connector harness.
b. Measure the resistance. The resistance should be < 0.3 ohms.
