PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The BoomPilot system controls the sections valves according to the GPS position. The GPS makes it possible to avoid overlaps or skips.
The Section Driver Module (SDM) is designed for switching active high when spraying. This means that a 12V signal is issued to control the
corresponding section valve.
The SDM is connected in parallel with the controller section switches.
The BoomPilot controls the section valves in automatic mode, and the controller section switches should be set to off unless the operator
wants to override the auto mode and thus force spraying.
The BoomPilot monitors the controller section switches that controls the valves in manual mode. The the Master switch can be used both in
automatic mode as well as in manual mode.

INSTALLATION
If there are questions concerning the installation of the BoomPilot system on this vehicle, or due to the changes in component
specications the parts supplied in the kit are not exactly as presented in this document, please contact your dealer or TeeJet
Customer service representative for clarication before installation. TeeJet Technologies is not responsible for misuse or incorrect
installation of the system.
NOTE: All references to left and right are stated as if the user is seated in the driver’s seat.
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL TO ABSOLUTELY SECURE ALL CABLES AND HOSES SO THAT THEY DON’T INTERFERE WITH THE MANY
MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE!
1. LOCATE THE CONNECTION POINT FOR THE SDM HARNESS
Locate the existing system’s switchbox and Blanchard REB3 console. As shown in system diagram, the Optima Module Interface serves as a
link between the Blanchard REB3 Controller and the BoomPilot Section Driver Module (E).
2. MOUNT & CONNECT SDM
1. Mount SDM (E) as shown where LED’s can be seen for troubleshooting.
2. Connect SDM (E) to BoomPilot Harness (C).

3. DISCONNECT & RECONNECT HARNESSES & CABLES
The BoomPilot SDM harness (C) tees into the existing system’s connection between the Blanchard REB3 rate controller and the switchbox.
1. Disconnect existing connection between the Blanchard REB3 rate controller and the switchbox.
2. Connect BoomPilot harness (C) to the switchbox.
3. Connect BoomPilot harness (C) to Optima Module Interface.
4. Connect Optima Module Interface to existing Blanchard REB3 console.

7. RECOMMENDED ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION
The control console can be mounted to the operator’s preference. The GPS antenna should be mounted in the center on top of the cab on a
metal surface of at least 10 cm square.

8. COMPLETE ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION
Refer to the Matrix Pro BoomPilot Setup Guide for further instructions on setting up and using your Matrix Pro for ABSC.
If not using a Matrix Pro, please refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the guidance system to complete the electronic installation and
setup.
SYSTEM CHECK
After connecting the power connector, it is time to make a system check. To check the system, it is necessary to have full GPS signal. To
obtain full GPS signal, the vehicle must be placed outside.
Check AUTOMATIC mode:
Blanchard REB3 Controller/switchbox:
• Switches on REB3 computer are deactivated once the CAN interface is connected.
• Please use switches on the switchbox to manually drive the section valves.
• Switches should be in OFF position when working in Automatic mode.
• The Master switch will control the sprayer and should be ON to enable automatic switching of the sections.

Matrix Pro:
• Turn on the Matrix Pro console
• Encode the number of sections and the width of each
(Refer to the Matrix Pro user manual)
• Wait for GPS signal
• Set the BoomPilot mode to AUTOMATIC
◄Status Bar Icon will change to green
• Drive forward (> 2 km/h)
• Observe that all valves open
• Check that the valves close when the Master switch is set to OFF
Check MANUAL mode:
Switchbox:
• Set the section switches to ON
• Set the Master switch to ON
Matrix Pro:
• Set the BoomPilot mode to MANUAL
◄Status Bar Icon will change to red
• Check in the ‘Vehicle View Screen’ (Matrix Pro) that the section icons turn off and on according to the valve/switch status
• Observe that all valves are open
