With each machine having a different possible switchbox conguration, With each machine having a different possible
switchbox conguration, the location to T-Tap into the valve harness cannot be specied.. However, the following guidelines
may provide some assistance in completing the installation.
1. Identify boom section cable that runs from the Boom Switchbox to the boom valves.
2. Use a T-Tap (or similar product) to connect into the signal wire.
NOTE: In some cases, the Boom Interface Module Harness wires can be connected directly to the switches inside the
Switchbox using the proper spade terminal.
3. Repeat this process for each individual boom section.

INSTALLATION
If there are questions concerning the installation of the Sentry 6141 ISOBUS Tip Flow Monitor 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.
NOZZLE BODY WITH FLOW METER AND TIP SENSOR INTERFACE
The turbine style ow meter used with the Sentry 6141 ISOBUS Tip Flow Monitor is compact, reliable and proven. The threaded connection allows
the sensor to be added onto a wide range of standard TeeJet single and multiple outlet nozzle bodies. ChemSaver® diaphragm check valves
remain in place allowing for positive spray tip shutoff. Ample clearance inside the ow meter means minimal ow restriction and generous free
passage for particles contained in the spray solution. Long wearing materials are used in bearing surfaces to ensure a consistent ow reading and
the ow meter sensor is mounted externally to prevent any direct contact with the spray solution for long-term reliability.
Flow Meter Assembly
1. Remove end cap from nozzle body.
2. Attach end cap to ow meter (H).
►The ow meter gasket has two different sides. The side with the
larger center is to be inserted towards the sensor or inside the
ow meter.
3. Attach ow meter to nozzle body. Hand tighten.
4. Loosely secure Tip Sensor Interface (F or G) close to nozzle
body / ow meter assembly. Cable ties (not included) can be
threaded through Tip Sensor Interface slots.
5. Push sensor of Tip Sensor Interface into slot on ow meter. Clips
on ow meter should be in the groves on the center of the sensor.
6. Secure Tip Sensor Interface.
7. Connect Start Terminator (J) to section 1 Tip Sensor Interface.
8. Connect each Tip Sensor Interface moving from left to right (while
standing at the back of the machine).
►Extension cables from Boom Interface Module Harness (D) and
Tip Flow Monitor Interface Harness (B) will connect between two
Tip Sensor Interfaces.
9. Connect End Terminator (I) to the last section’s Tip Sensor
Interface.

POWER
On power up the ISOBUS Tip Flow Monitor (A) detects the number of Tip Sensor Interfaces (TSI) (F or G) located on each boom. The monitor
then indicates the status of system components.
The Status Box displays if all tips are OK or if any errors are found.
During start up, LED’s (see Figure 9) on each TSI turn on and turn off as each is detected and given a unique address. TSI unique addresses are
assigned from left to right begining at the Start Terminator.
►Sensor connected to the Start Terminator (female) (J) on the left side of the machine will be #1
►Sensor connected to the End Terminator (male) (I) on the right side of the machine will be the last sensor.

The tip balance allowance is the maximum ow deviation each tip is
allowed from the boom average, without an alarm being triggered.
Number of Boom Sections
Enter the number of boom sections. The sections are numbered from
left to right while standing in the forward facing direction of the machine
and begin at the Start Terminator. Range is 1-15 sections.
Number of Tips per Section
Enter the number of tips on each boom section. Sections are numbered
from left to right while standing in the forward facing direction of the

Figure 14: Alarm Configurations
Tip Alarm Deviation Allowance
Sets the error reporting range for the tip sensors. If the ow rate
of an individual tip falls below, or rises above this range, the
console will generate an alarm. The value entered is the percentage
above and below the average ow that a tip must excede to trigger an
alarm.
Tip Alarm Delay
Sets a time delay for the console to wait after an error has been
encountered before sounding a tip alarm. If the error is corrected
within this time, no alarm will sound or error will display on screen.
Range is 1-10 seconds.
USER INTERFACE
User Interface allows the operator to select the system universal
terminal (UT) [referenced on screen as a virtual terminal (VT)].
1. From the Main Setup Screen , select USER INTERFACE.
Figure 15: User Preferred VT
User Preferred VT
Use Preferred VT sets the universal terminal preference to either on or
off. If “On” is selected, the preferred UT will be used. If “Off” is selected,
the system will arbitrarily select which UT to use (if more than one UT is
available on the ISOBUS CAN).
NOTE: This should always be set to “off” unless another UT is on the
CAN bus. HELP
HELP
The Help menu allows the operator to choose between Diagnostics and
the display of information about serial number, CAN BUS information,

2. Select from:
►Diagnostic – used to troubleshoot input/output of the controller
(sensor or actuator).
►About – provides information on the console such as software
version, build number, etc.

OPERATION
In Operation Mode, the system will monitor all the tips and their the ow rate if their respective boom section is turned on. The ow rate of each tip
must be within the percentage range (entered in the Setup mode) of the boom’s average. The LED on the Tip Sensor Interface (H or I) will also
be illuminated corresponding to the tip or tips that are at fault.
TIP BALANCE
Balancing the tips is required for the system to compare and monitor individual tips. The system will scan all the tips to get the ow rate. The
ow rate of each tip must be within the tip balance percentage range of the average ow rate in order to balance successfully. If any tip is
outside this range, an error will be generated, and the user will need to inspect the tip or ow meter for obstructions.
NOTE: In order to maintain system accuracy, balancing the tips is required anytime a tip is changed. The console will not be able to detect small
flow changes until a tip balancing is completed successfully.

Identifying Plugged Spray Tips Has Never Been Easier
Worn, plugged or partially blocked spray tips can have a signicant impact on the quality
of your spraying job. Streaks in the eld caused by misapplication can result in yield
reductions, increased weed pressure and the need to re-apply – all of which can be
costly. The Sentry 6141 Tip Flow Monitor provides a simple, reliable solution to this age-
old problem. Flow sensors, mounted at each spray tip location, precisely measure the
ow passing through the tip and provide instantaneous feedback to the operator should
a tip become clogged, lost, or a nozzle body unintentionally rotated to an incorrect
position. By eliminating the need to detect plugged tips visually from the cab, operators
can cover more acres in a day, and know, with condence, that their spray tips are
operating properly.
