INTRODUCTION TO MATRIX
TM
AND CL230
The MATRIXTM and Centerline 230BP are combined Guidance and Automatic Boom Section Control
(ABSC) devices that features control of up to 15 boom sections. The MATRIXTM or the Centerline
230BP connects in parallel to the existing wiring loom to the section valves.
Principle of Operation
The MATRIX
TM
or Centerline 230BP control the sections valves according to the GPS position and
the GPS guidance makes it possible to avoid overlaps or skips.
The MATRIX
TM
or Centerline 230BP controls the section valves in automatic mode, and the section
switches should be set to off unless the operator wants to override the auto mode and thus force
spraying.
The MATRIX
TM
or Centerline 230BP monitors the section switches that controls the valves in manual
mode. The Master switch can be used both in automatic mode as well as in manual mode.

INSTALLING THE BERTHOUD TELEVOLUX KIT
To get electrical contact with the Sections and the Master switch in the Berthoud TELEVOLUX
Switch Box, it’s necessary to install a Berthoud ABSC Interface (See pos. 7 and 8 on the two System
Overview drawings). Before starting the installation, make sure that the power is disconnected.
This is a critical operation and must only be conducted of persons with the
necessary skills. In case the Berthoud TELELUX Switch Box is damaged during
the installation, it's on the buyers sole risk and therefore the buyer is not entitled
to any form for compensation.
Installing the Interface Circuit board:
Place the interface in
the right part of the box
as shown on the picture.
Drill two ø3.5 mm holes
in the plastic housing
with a distance of 95
mm.
It’s practical to install the wires on the interface before installing it (See diagram next page).
Installing the Connector:
Make a hole in the left part of the plastic
housing and install the round connector. The
Hole should be ø25 mm and xing holes ø3.2
mm.
Connect the Automatic Boom section kit as show on the system overview drawings. The kit includes
all necessary connectors to get electrical contact with the Berthoud TELEVOLUX Switch Box.

! When connecting the system to 12V
power it's very important that the polarity
is correct, if not the system will be
damaged.
BATTERY CABLE (OPTION):
The power supply must be strong enough to operate the Section and Master valves. The total current will depend on the used valve type.
If a power connector (Socket) isn't available in the tractor cabin, a optional battery cable can be
used (PN 96ET14).

VALVES CONNECTION
Berthoud sprayers with New Sa or pneumatic valves:
- No particular connection has to be done. Original cabling is ok.
Berthoud sprayers with Old Sa or Arag valves:
- Relay box installation
Take out the blue cover above the boom
Fix the relay box to the frame
Driving wires connection to relay box
Connect loose wires to the connection bloc. Below a informative table but verify that the
respective connections are giving out 12 V when section is ON.

SYSTEM CHECK
After connecting the power connector, it's time to make a system check. To check the system it's
necessary to have full GPS signal so the vehicle must be placed outside.
Check AUTO mode:
Berthoud TELEVOLUX:
• Section switches should be in OFF position when working in Automatic mode.
• The Master switch will control the sprayer and should be ON to enable automatic switching of
the sections.
MATRIXTM or CL230:
• Turn the Guidance controller on
• Encode the number of sections and the width of each
(Refer to the MATRIXTM or CL230 user manual)
• Wait for GPS signal
• Set the mode to AUTO
• Drive forward (> 2 km/h)
• Observe that all sections and the master valve open.
• Check that the Master valve closes when the Master switch is set off.
Check MANUAL mode:
MATRIXTM or CL230:
• Set the ABSC mode to MANUAL
Check in the ‘Boom Section Control Screen’ (Matrix or CL230) that the section icons turn off and
on according to the valve/switch status.
Berthoud TELEVOLUX:
• Set the section switch's on
• Set the Master switch on
• Observe that all sections and the master valve open.
