Wet Boom Kits

Wet boom planters use a hard pipe (or boom) to move the liquid down the planter to the row units. Because there is a long boom instead of a central manifold, we just mount the flowmeters out near the row units themselves and run a much longer wire harness to each of the flowmeters.

Our standard kits can also be used on wet boom planters, but you will have to run hoses to the row units instead of the wire harness, just like a normal dry boom planter.  

Easy Installation in Five Steps 

1. Install your flowmeters
   Flowmeters will be installed directly in line close to the row unit. Cut the line between the wet boom and the nozzle body where you want to mount the flowmeter. Use the barbed fittings included in the kit to install the flowmeter into the hose splice.
2. Run the wire harness
   String the wire harness along the planter from flowmeter to flowmeter. It will generally follow the same path that the hoses are already run in, often sitting directly on top of the wet boom itself. 
3. Plug in the OnSite FMS+ modules 
   The OnSite FMS+ modules will hang freely from the main trunk of the wire harness, usually near the center of the planter. If you are using two products, the harnesses will usually lay on top of each other and will be able to plug directly into each other without additional cables.
   –  For wireless systems, mount the Bluetooth module closer to the cab to avoid issues with signal loss on larger planters. We recommend staying within 50 feet of the cab.
4. Run power to the system (Bluetooth only)
   On a wireless system, you’ll hook on to planter power (the harness is included).
   Wired systems get power from the harness running from the hitch.
5. Install your Monitor in the cab and run power to it
   We supply the monitor, RAM Mounts brand adjustable mount, monitor cradle, and wire harnesses with the kit.
   –  On a wireless kit once you have power you are done!
   –  On a wired kit, you just have to run the harness down to the hitch to meet the FlowBoard harness.
