Once the Sentinel has been set up in the display, little is required of the user to operate the Sentinel. The
system can be started with an Implement Switch that will turn the system on when the implement is lowered.
It can be turned on and off with a Master On/Off Switch (footswitch or on
-
screen). The system can also be
turned on and off using Task Control to turn the system (or sections) on and off as the implement enters the
field or overlaps previously applied areas using GPS location information.
Sentinel Row Control Operation
On the HOME screen, the top row is
a Customizable Toolbar with options
to display several different system parameters.
The center section shows the Rate Control op-
eration for each product. The user defined
rates are available for selection on the go.
The bottom section has 3 tabs. Watching the
information on the Diagnostic tab will help the
user become familiar with normal operating pa-
rameters. Knowing what is normal can help the
operator diagnose and fix the issue if a problem
occurs.

To test the system, you can change the Duty
Cycle % as the pump is running. Observe the
Flow (GPM) and Pressure with each Duty Cycle
%. On an electric pump system, you can do this
with one pump plugged in at a time to verify the
operation of each pump. Look at the Diagnostic
tab for more information.
