Boom Series Harness Connection

With each machine having a different possible switchbox conguration, it is impossible to specify the exact location to T-Tap

into the valve harness. 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 Series 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.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

If there are questions concerning the installation of the Sentry 6140 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.

Sentry 6140 Console

The Sentry 6140 Console is designed to provide years of service under typical agricultural operating conditions. A tight tting enclosure means

that typical dusty environments will not cause operational problems. While occasional splashing of water will not damage the unit, the Sentry 6140 Console is not designed for direct exposure to rain. Take care not to operate the Sentry 6140 Console in wet conditions.

Standard RAM Bracket

Nozzle Body with Flow Meter and Tip Sensor Interface

The turbine style ow meter used with the Sentry 6140 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.

POWER

Slide the POWER SWITCH to power on or off the console.

On power up the console detects the number of Tip Sensor Interfaces (TSI) (H or I) on the boom and displays the status of the sensors and the system. The LED’s on each TSI are turned on and go off as each is detected and given their unique address.

The addresses start at #1 and continue across the boom. Tips are numbered from left to right while standing in the forward facing direction of the machine and begin at the Start Terminator.

►Sensor connected to the Start Terminator [female] (L) on the left

side of the machine will be #1

►Sensor connected to the End Terminator [male] (K) on the right

side of the machine will be the last sensor.

The Status Box displays if all tips are OK or if any errors are found.

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.

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.

Tip Balance Percentage is OEM specified. Default balance

is +/-15%.

After the tips are balanced, the user can enter 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). If any tip is outside this range,

an error will be generated, and the user will need to inspect the tip that is at fault. The LED on the Tip Sensor Interface (H or I) will also be illuminated corresponding to the tip or tips that are at fault.

The errors that prevent the console from going into normal operation are now displayed as error codes in the Status Box.

Error Codes:

• #2 - Terminator (K or L) not detected

• #3 - Boom Interface Module (E) not detected

• #4 - Lost communication with Tip Flow Monitor Interface (TFMI) (B)

If any of these errors occur while in normal operation, the system will beep 3 times to alert that an error has occurred.

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 6140 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.
