PROFILE AND MACHINE TYPE

To review the current profile name and machine type:

1. Open the UT Menu and select the RCM - Sprayer Menu button.
2. Select the Tools Menu softkey along the right side of the display.
3. Select the Applicator Setup tab along the top of the display. The name entered for the machine profile and the

type of equipment selected during the initial system calibration will be displayed at the top of the Applicator

Setup page.

•

Use the Change/New button to select a different profile or create a new profile for the machine in

operation. Up to 8 unique profiles may be saved on the RCM - Sprayer ECU.

•

Use the Edit button to edit the selected profile.

NOTE:

Some calibration settings are only available through the Machine Profile wizard and will require the

equipment operator to edit the Machine Profile.

Some settings entered into a specific profile (such as tip information) will not be available if a different

profile is selected.

•

Use the Remove button to remove the selected profile from the system.

NOTE:

A new profile must be created if a profile is deleted and there are no other profiles remaining in the

selection list.
