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

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.
