CHAPTER 1– PRODUCT OVERVIEW
BoomPilot (automatic boom section control) is possible in combination with software built into the IC18 Sprayer/NH3 Electronic Control Unit
(ECU). The ECU should be combined with the appropriate cable to interface with your BoomPilot system, spray controller and/or spraying
machine for quick and easy installation. Electronic Control Units and their related cables are designed to control as many boom sections as
the spray controller to which they are connect, up to a maximum of 9 boom sections.
Figure 1-1: BoomPilot Electronic Control Unit
OPTIONAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Matrix 570VT
The Matrix 570VT is a simple to operate, ISOBUS-certied 5.7″
color touch screen display suitable for bright daylight and nighttime
operation

►6 section output or 5 sections and a master output.
Figure 1-3: Switchboxes
IC18 Sprayer/NH3 ECU
Use with your existing VT or Matrix® 570VT
• Works seamlessly and displays on any ISOBUS VT
• Easy navigation menu and data rich display
• IC18 Sprayer ECU suitable for use with NH3 and liquid
fertilizer
• Automatic boom section control upgrade option
• Variable rate control available providing your VT has GPS and
task control capability
• Add additional ISOBUS ECUs as your needs change
• Provides basic rate control
• Standardized plugs, cables and software simplify installation
and connectivity and result in true “plug and play” technology.
IC18 ECU resides on the implement, reducing hardware in the
cab

Machine Setup
Machine Setup establishes the delay off and delay on time; front or back implement
mounting position; and distance from the boom and the antenna to the mounting
point.
Delay Off
Delay Off functions as a “look ahead” for establishing the timing for the boom
section valves to switch off exactly when entering an area that has been applied. If
the boom turns off too soon when entering an applied area, decrease the Delay Off
setting. If the boom turns off too late when entering an applied area, increase the
Delay Off setting. Range is 0.0 - 10.0 seconds.
• To select the delay off time, use the number pad or slide bar.
