CHAPTER 1– PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Congratulations on the purchase of your new IC18 ECU built on the ISOBUS architecture. This IC18 unit has the capability of either
sprayer or NH3 control when integrated into the implement of either capability. When used within the guidelines of this manual, the IC18
controller will be a reliable application tool.
This manual covers the Sprayer functions of the IC18 ECU. For NH3 functions, see manual number 98-05230.
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
• Easy navigation menu and data rich display
• 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

• Works seamlessly and displays on any ISOBUS VT
• Easy navigation menu and data rich display
• Add additional ISOBUS ECUs as your needs change
• Provides basic rate control or variable rate if the connecting VT has variable rate task control capabilities
• Standardized plugs, cables and software simplify installation and connectivity and result in true “plug and play” technology. IC18 ECU

OVERVIEW SETUP APPENDIXGETTING STARTED OPERATION
BoomPilot Electronic Control Unit for IC18
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.
