INTRODUCTION TO TJ744E  ABSC
The Matrix Pro is a combined Guidance and Automatic Boom Section Control (ABSC)
device that features control of up to 15 boom sections. The Matrix Pro connects in parallel
to the existing wiring loom to the section valves.
Principle of Operation
The Matrix Pro controls the section valves according to the GPS position as well as the
GPS guidance to avoid overlaps or skips.
The Matrix Pro controls the section valves in automatic mode. The section switches should
be set to off unless the operator wants to override the auto mode and thus force spraying.
The Matrix Pro monitors the section switches that control the valves in manual mode. The
master switch can be used both in automatic mode and in manual mode.
Required Parts
To add Automatic Boom Section Control to a TJ744 Sprayer Control kit, the following part
numbers are required:

system, it is necessary to have full GPS signal. To obtain full GPS signal, the vehicle must
be placed outside.
Check AUTOMATIC mode:
TJ744E Switch box:
Section switches should be in the 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.
