BoomPilot ® encoDe the Section wiDth in the Matrix pro: The John Deere EL4 controller is always equipped with 9 section switches, but the number of sections on the sprayer boom will vary. This combined with the fixed ‘Center section’ on the EL4 controller will influence on how the number of section and the widht’s are encoded in the Matrix Pro.
Refer to the Matrix Pro BoomPilot Setup Guide for further instructions on setting up and using your Matrix Pro for ABSC. If not using a Matrix Pro, please refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the guidance system to complete the electronic installation and setup.
