Introduction: RCM - Sprayer Features 7
INTRODUCTION
Bypass (Conventional) Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode will control to a target flow,
but the nozzle control valves on the system are disabled. A secondary flow outlet must be made available at
each tip.
NOTE: If NCVs are not detected, the RCM - Sprayer system will automatically configure in Bypass mode.
Bypass mode may also be selected to revert a system with AIM Command FLEX™ II NCVs to
conventional spray control.
Only select bypass mode if the nozzle bodies on the implement are set to bypass the AIM Command
FLEX™ II NCVs during operation.
On/Off Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II System will hold the NCVs 100% open during
application or fully closed when not applying. This mode can be used with air induction tips and stream bars.
Standard Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode will control to a target flow rate and
maintain a constant target pressure for maintaining droplet size.
Variable Pressure (VP) Mode. This RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode will control to a target flow
rate and target NCV duty cycle by varying the pressure range. This is useful for scenarios where having a wide
speed and coverage range while maintaining a pressure range is a priority such as liquid fertilizer application or
where droplet size can be maintained over a wide pressure range.
High Flow Mode. This RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode allows both a conventional nozzle and
a AIM Command FLEX™ II NCV to run simultaneously to achieve higher flow rates while maintaining a constant
target pressure.
High Flow VP Mode. This mode allows both a conventional nozzle and a NCV to run simultaneously to achieve
higher flow rates. High Flow VP varies pressure and NCV duty cycle to control the target flow rate.
OPERATION MODE FEATURES
Turn Compensation. Turn compensation helps ensure an even flow rate while applying around curves and
corners, even when operating with the largest of application equipment sizes on the market. Turn compensation
automatically reduces or stops the flow rate of NCVs toward the inside of the curve, while increasing the flow rate
at the outside, to help ensure an even, efficient application to address crop conditions, minimize crop damage,
and improve yields. Refer to the Enable Turn Compensation section on page 38 for additional assistance with
enabling the Turn Compensation feature.
Pressure Nozzle Control. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II control system provides the same
spray pattern and coverage as conventional spray systems. Pressure-based nozzle control allows the operator to
1. Use Bypass, High Flow, or High Flow VP modes if calculated target flow requirements per tip exceed 1.4 gpm
[5.3 l/min].
2. “Target” indicates the user sets a target pressure. “Range” indicates the user sets a min/max pressure range.
3. Maximum of 5 ICD injection pumps may be connected with the AIM Command FLEX™ II control system.
4. Automatically primes the main product only.
5. Recirculates the main product only. Requires a feature unlock.
6. Unless otherwise stated by the tip manufacturer, air induction tips are not recommended when using PWM
nozzle control.
7. Adjustable between 20, 15, or 10.
8. There exists four pre-set profiles and two user-set profiles of eight nozzles per profile. Two profiles may be
run simultaneously.
9. Requires individual nozzle control unlock for operation. Can only be used in the presented modes of NCV
operation.
10.Up to 36 virtual sections will be available if individual nozzle control is not unlocked, or if the field computer
does not support over 36 sections.
