Designed with simplicity in mind, Radion 8140 offers spraying advantages not found in other controllers. Setting the target application
rate and the unique VisiFlo® display on the controller helps select the right TeeJet tip for the application. Once spraying begins, the large
display shows application rate, volume sprayed, system pressure, sprayer speed, and area covered. Radion 8140’s built-in planning tool
automatically displays the available speed range for the target rate and spray tip that have been selected. Radion 8140 may be used as an
individual controller or in combination with CAN bus technology using Matrix® Pro and BoomPilot® to add automated boom section control.
Product Upgrades Available
