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 ow control harness on the right side of the cab under the control panel inside the black cowling as it routes up to
the back of the Berthoud TELEVOLUX console.
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. INSTALLING THE BERTHOUD TELEVOLUX KIT
To get electrical contact with the Sections and the Master switch in the Berthoud TELEVOLUX Switch Box, it’s necessary to install a Berthoud
ABSC Interface (See pos. 7 and 8 on the two System Overview drawings). Before starting the installation, make sure that the power is
disconnected.
Warning: This is a critical operation and must only be conducted of persons with the necessary skills. In case the Berthoud TELELUX
Switch Box is damaged during the installation, it’s on the buyers sole risk and therefore the buyer is not entitled to any form for
compensation.
Figure 5: Installing the Circuit board
Place the interface in the right part of the box as shown on
the picture.
Drill two ø3.5 mm holes in the plastic housing with a
distance of 95 mm.
It’s practical to install the wires on the interface before
installing it (See diagram next page).
Figure 6: Installing the Connector
CenterLine 230BP; Berthoud DP Tronic Installation Manual
020-045-UK R1
Make a hole in the left part of the plastic
housing and install the round connector. The
Hole should be ø25 mm and xing holes ø3.2
mm.
Connect the Automatic Boom section kit
as show on the system overview drawings.
The kit includes all necessary connectors
to get electrical contact with the Berthoud
TELEVOLUX Switch Box.

4. DISCONNECT & RECONNECT HARNESSES & CABLES
The BoomPilot SDM harness (C) tees into the existing system’s connection between the Berthoud TELEVOLUX rate controller and ow
control harness.
1. Disconnect existing connection at the back of the Berthoud TELEVOLUX console.
2. Connect BoomPilot harness (C) to Berthoud TELEVOLUX console.
3. Connect BoomPilot harness (C) to existing Berthoud TELEVOLUX ow control harness.

Battery Cable (Option)
The power supply must be strong enough to operate the Section and Master valves. The total current will depend on the used valve type.
If a power connector (Socket) isn’t available in the tractor cabin, a optional battery cable can be used (PN 96ET14).
Valves connection
Berthoud sprayers with New Sa or pneumatic valves - No particular connection has to be done. Original cabling is ok.

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.

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:
XXXX:
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.
