CHAPTER 6

RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command FLEX™ II Calibration and Operation Manual

(5) Manual Control.

When the system is toggled to the manual control mode, the preset buttons are replaced

with ± buttons.

•

The ± buttons on the Rates tab manually increase or
decrease the main product pump output.

NOTE:

The main product pump manual control softkeys are

replaced by the injection pump manual control softkeys

when the injection pump product is selected.

•

The ± buttons on the Pressure tab increase or decrease

the NCV PWM duty cycle.

The system will continue to monitor and display the actual application rate on the home screen.

READOUTS

The readouts area of the RCM - Sprayer Home page is user configurable to allow the operator to set up the

information to be displayed for each product or pressure tab. Review the

Display Setup Menu

section on page 32

for additional assistance with customizing the information displayed on each tab and for details about the

available readouts.

PRESSURE GAUGE

When the RCM - Sprayer product is selected, the pressure gauge provides a visual representation of the actual

boom pressure and displays the allowable pressure deadband during field applications.

NOTE:

When an injection product is selected, the pressure gauge displays the pressure at the injection

pump.

RCM - SPRAYER LOWER HOME SCREEN

The lower portion of the home screen provides on-screen indicators for switch status and remaining tank volume.

Refer to the following sections for additional information regarding the information provided in this area of the

home display.

TANK VOLUME INDICATOR

The system provides a calculated volume of product remaining in

the tank as a tank indicator in the application information area.

Select this indicator to access the Tank Fill Config prompt.

NOTE:

A tank capacity value must be entered to allow the

tank volume indicator to display the tank level.

SECTION STATUS DISPLAY

The AIM Command FLEX™ II system provides

the status of each configured section on the

home display.
