INTRODUCTION TO MATRIX PRO GS - BOOMPILOT

Principle of operation

The Matrix Pro GS controls the sprayer according to the GPS 

position as well as the GPS guidance to avoid overlaps or skips. The 

Matrix Pro GS controls the sprayer in automatic mode and monitor 

the sprayer in manual mode. The operator is always able to override 

the control of the sprayer via the master key on the Amatron rate 

controller.

Features

The Matrix Pro GS and the Amazone BoomPilot interface, in 

combination with  or Amatron-3, adds ‘Automatic boom 

section control’ to Amazone sprayers.

Software version

The Amatron and the Matrix Pro GS communicates via a special 

interface using the Amaclick CAN bus protocol. The software version 

in the Amazone job-computer must be v7.07.16 or higher. If the 

job-computer software is older than 7.07.12, please contact your
