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 ABSC (automatic boom section control) box is designed for switching active high when spraying. This means that a 12V signal is issued
to control the corresponding section valve.
The ABSC box 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

MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE!
1. INSTALLING THE ARAG 180 ADAPTER CABLE
To get electrical contact with the sections and the Master switch in the ARAG 180, it’s necessary to install the adapter cable (E), in the
ARAG 180 controller. This is a critical operation and must only be conducted of persons with the necessary skills.
NOTE: In case the ARAG 180 controller is damaged during the installation, it’s on the buyers sole risk and therefore the buyer is not entitled
to any form for compensation.

5. CONNECTING TO POWER
The power supply must be strong enough to operate the Section and Master valves. The total current will depend on the used valve type.
Warning: When connecting the system to 12V power it’s very important that the polarity is correct, if not the system will be damaged.

Optional Battery Cable
If a power connector (Socket) isn’t available in the tractor cabin, a optional battery cable can be used (PN 96ET14).
6. 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:
ARAG BRAVO 180:
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.
