implement

Implement Setup is used to establish the various settings associated 

with the vehicle’s implement.
Settings will vary depending on if a SmartCable or Section Driver 

Module (SDM) is present. 

Speed Out / Sense In cable

This cable is REQUIRED to start application mapping (painting the 

screen).

It allows the user to operate the area applied function of the Matrix 

Pro in series with a remote master connection or existing apply on/off 

toggle in a single swath manner.  However if the previous connections 

are not available the supplied toggle switch allows area applied 

functionality without the need to connect to a functional application 

implement.
The cable also sends a radar speed signal to an external device.
To install your cable: 
•  Connect using included switch (32-50008)
 OR
•  Connect green wire to master 12 Volts on/off from rate controller

Delay Off

Delay Off functions as a “look ahead” for establishing the timing for 

the boom section valves to switch off exactly when entering an area 

that has been applied. If the boom turns off too soon when entering 

an applied area, decrease the Delay Off setting. If the boom turns off 

too late when entering an applied area, increase the Delay Off setting. 

Range is 0.0 - 10.0 seconds. Default is 1.00 second.
1.  Press the KEYPAD icon  .
2.  Use the entry screen to establish the delay off time.
