SmartBoom Operation
Initial Startup
Before beginning your first application, you need to install and configure SmartBoom for your sprayer.
Refer to the following points to set up SmartBoom. This ensures that SmartBoom is configured for the
specific equipment with which it will be operating.
1. Set up the GPS System - Refer to your GPS receiver operator’s manual to set up your GPS
receiver to output a GPS signal to SmartBoom. SmartBoom requires both GGA position and VTG
speed messages from the receiver. Message output rates should be at least 4 Hz. An output rate of
10 Hz is recommended.
2. Set up the Product Controller - Ensure the baud rate for port C on the SmartRow controller matches
the baud rate for the serial port of the SCS console.
3. Select the Sprayer mode from the System Config menu.
4. Select Distance Units - Use the SmartBoom Section Configuration Menus to set up the units that
SmartBoom will use to measure. You can select inches or centimeters.
5. Configure The Sections Widths - Use the SmartBoom Boom Configuration Menus to set up the
number of section and the width of each section.
6. Orient the implement with respect to the GPS antenna - Use the SmartBoom Boom Configuration
Menus to enter the location of the center of the implement with respect to the GPS Antenna.
