● CHAPTER 1– PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Matrix™ allows the management of multiple connected modules plus GPS mapping, guidance, FieldPilot®, BoomPilot®, and data collection in a single console using CAN bus technology. This replaces multiple consoles in the cab with one robust system.
● ● SYSTEM COMPONENTS Matrix 570G Console Matrix 840G Console The Matrix 570G is designed to provide years of service under typical agricultural operating conditions. A tight fitting enclosure, combined with rubber covers for all connectors mean that typical dusty environments will not cause operational problems. While occasional splashing of water will not damage the unit, the Matrix 570G is not designed for direct exposure to rain. Take care not to operate the Matrix in wet conditions.
● ● RealView Camera Video Selector Modules GPS Antennas The TeeJet Technologies RealView camera allows video images to be displayed on the Matrix screen. The camera can be pointed forward to enable RealView guidance over video, or it can be positioned to view other operational aspects of your equipment. The camera is equipped with a flexible RAM mount, integral sun shade and provides infrared illumination, allowing clear video images even in dark conditions.
● Foot Switch TeeJet Foot Switch is a convenient method of engaging FieldPilot. It is connected to the system via the SCM Harness. Figure 1-10: Foot Switch ● BoomPilot Section Driver Module Combined with software built into the Matrix console, the Section Driver Module (SDM) makes BoomPilot (automatic boom section control) possible. The SDM should be combined with the appropriate cable to interface with your BoomPilot system, spray controller and/or spraying machine for quick and easy installation.
● ● Figure 1-15: Matrix w/8 Channel or 4 Channel VSM & Multiple RealView Cameras CONFIGURATIONS The following diagrams are reflective of typical Matrix configurations.

● Video Video Setup is used to set up individual cameras while using a Eight (8) Channel or Four (4) Channel Video Selector Module (VSM). Up to 8 cameras can be configured if a VSM is installed. NOTE If a VSM is not installed, VIDEO SETUP is not available for selection (grayed out) . Figure 2-32: Video Unavailable NOTE: Video Setup will not change the setting of a directly connected camera even when a VSM is on the system. Adjusting options will not affect a direct camera attachment.
● Figure 2-36: Video w/Four Channel VSM ● BOOMPILOT/SINGLE BOOM SETUP BoomPilot Setup is used to configure Overlap, Delay On, Delay Off, Number of Boom Sections, and Boom Section Width settings. NOTE: BoomPilot settings are only visible and necessary if a SmartCable or SDM is present. If neither is present, see Single Boom Setup section. Figure 2-39: Overlap Figure 2-38: Boom Section Setup (SDM detected) Single Boom Setup is available when a SmartCable or Section Driver Module (SDM) is not present.
● Delay On ● Delay Off Delay On functions as a “look ahead” for establishing the timing for the boom section valves to switch on exactly when entering an area that has not been applied. If the boom turns on too soon when entering a non-applied area, decrease the Delay On setting. If the boom turns on too late when entering a nonapplied area, increase the Delay On setting. Range is 0.0 - 10.0 seconds.
● Single Boom Setup ● Figure 2-45: Single Boom Section Width (No SDM) Single Boom Setup is available when a SmartCable or Section Driver Module (SDM) is not present. Configurations for Overlap, Delay On, Delay Off, Number of Boom Sections will not be available, and only one boom section width can be entered. Vehicle Setup is used to configure Vehicle Type, Antenna Height, Direction to Boom, and Boom Offset Distance. Boom Section Width Boom Section Width establishes the width of entire swath.
● Antenna Height ● Direction to Boom Boom Offset Distance Antenna Height sets the height of the antenna from the ground. Range is 0.0 - 32.8 feet / 0.0 - 10.0 meters. Direction to Boom sets whether the boom is located behind or in front of the GPS antenna as the vehicle moves in a forward direction. Boom Offset Distance defines the distance from the GPS antenna to the boom. Range is 0.0 - 164.0 feet / 0.0 - 50.0 meters. 1. Press ANTENNA HEIGHT ICON . 2.

● ● Figure 2-64: Valve Frequency Minimum Duty Cycle Maximum Duty Cycle sets the maximum speed that the wheels will steer from left to right / right to left (lock to lock). Range is 25 - 100. RECOMMENDATION – Have a large area of clear space available to perform test cycles. NOTE: If the valve frequency is below 15 Hz (non proportional), set the value to 100. Speed will be established during the Valve Test.
● Figure 2-67: Maximum Duty Cycle ● Valve Test The Valve Test verifies steering is directed correctly and is typically used to fine tune the oil flow to properly calibrate the amount of time to steer the wheels from full left to full right (lock to lock) for nonproportional valves. NOTE: For non-proportional valves, the amount of time for left to right / right to left (lock to lock) will be established by mechanically adjusting oil flow through the valve.
● Coarse Steering Adjustment ● Figure 2-71: Example of Coarse Adjustment Figure 2-72: Fine Steering Adjustment Coarse Steering Adjustment adjusts how aggressively the vehicle maintains a guideline in Straight A-B Guidance mode. Range is 1.0 - 100.0. 1. Press COARSE STEERING ADJUSTMENT ICON . 2. Press ►PLUS ICON if the vehicle is drifting away from the guideline or not approaching it fast enough. ►MINUS ICON if the vehicle is oscillating rapidly or overshooting the guideline. 3.
● Figure 2-75: Example of Deadband Adjustment Lookahead Lookahead is used during Straight A-B Guidance mode to adjust the vehicle’s approach to the guideline. Fine tune the Lookahead by conducting several approaches to the guideline. Range is 0.0 10.0 seconds. 1. Press LOOKAHEAD ICON . 2.
