Page 6 Check any hoses that have a low loop in them  Even after bleeding, slowly and cautiously loosen any fittings to be sure there is no ammonia trapped in- side. 396-4519Y1 Sentinel NH3 Blockage Monitor Revised 01/26/2022 © 2016-2022 SurePoint Ag Systems Inc.
Page 7 A closed container of liquid ammonia is in equilibrium with ammonia vapor and the container pressure bears a definite relationship to the temperature. Physical Data Boiling point is –28°F (-33º C). Ignition point is 1,204°F (651ºC). 396-4519Y1 Sentinel NH3 Blockage Monitor Revised 01/26/2022 © 2016-2022 SurePoint Ag Systems Inc.
Page 8 After this precise metering the challenge of row distribution still awaits. The proper manifold system is important for row to row accuracy. The manifold can also be a cause of flow restrictions in high flow applications. 396-4519Y1 Sentinel NH3 Blockage Monitor Revised 01/26/2022 © 2016-2022 SurePoint Ag Systems Inc.
Page 9: Introduction
Your anhydrous system will continue to function as usual with application rates being regulated by your existing rate controller. The Sentinel NH3 works independently, monitoring the row-to-row accuracy of your system and alerting the operator of blocked rows. SurePoint currently supports Sentinel operating on the following displays: John Deere 2630 & 4640, Ag Leader InCommand 800 and 1200, Case IH Pro 700, Trimble Fm2050 and FMX1000.

Page 11: Harness Layout
SurePoint Harness Layout for Sentinel NH3 The SurePoint Temperature Interface module communicates with the Sentinel ECU Components through a proprietary communication network (CAN). The Sentinel ECU then, using the Wiring & Elec. ISOBUS communication protocol, relays information through the tractor ISOBUS and generates the user interface on the in-cab display.
