Look Ahead

SmartBoom allows you to pre-program Turn-On and Turn-Off Look Ahead times. SmartBoom monitors

the GPS position and as-applied map while considering the Look Ahead times to begin turning booms

on or off before they cross spray or no spray boundaries. Look Ahead times can help compensate for

delays in the sprayer system including the time it takes for boom valves to open and close. The

specific Look Ahead time is a function of the valve timing and the speed at which the operator is driving

the machine.

Percent Coverage

SmartBoom provides the ability to pre-define the amount of coverage SmartBoom will apply. For most

applications that require complete coverage, the Percent Coverage should be set to 100 percent. For

applications that will not tolerate overlap, the Percent Coverage should be set to a lower value.

SmartBoom allows a Percent Coverage value anywhere from 5 to 100 percent in increments of 5

percent.

SmartBoom Override

SmartBoom provides you the ability to momentarily override the SmartBoom feature and force all

boom sections on. This may be desired if you want to double up coverage on an area of the field. The

override feature is also used when starting off from a dead stop. Enable the SmartBoom Override

feature and allow the boom valves to open up before driving ahead. The amount of time for the

override can be modified to match your specific application needs.

Manual Control

SmartBoom provides you with the ability to manually toggle individual boom sections on or off. Manual

Control is useful in situations when parts of a boom section will overlap other crop areas.
