Sentry 6140 Tip Flow Monitor Boom Series Harness Connection With each machine having a different possible switchbox configuration, it is impossible to specify the exact location to T-Tap into the valve harness. However, the following guidelines may provide some assistance in completing the installation. 1. Identify boom section cable that runs from the Boom Switchbox to the boom valves. 2. Use a T-Tap (or similar product) to connect into the signal wire.

Sentry 6140 Tip Flow Monitor Tip Balance Balancing the tips is required for the system to compare and monitor individual tips. The system will scan all the tips to get the flow rate. The flow rate of each tip must be within the tip balance percentage range of the average flow rate in order to balance successfully. If any tip is outside this range, an error will be generated, and the user will need to inspect the tip.
Sentry 6140 Tip Flow Monitor Operation After the tips are balanced, the user can enter Operation mode. The system will monitor all the tips and their the flow rate if their respective boom section is turned on. The flow rate of each tip must be within the percentage range (entered in the Setup mode). If any tip is outside this range, an error will be generated, and the user will need to inspect the tip that is at fault.
