NCV2 DIAGNOSTICS

NOTE:

NCV2 Diagnostics are not available in Bypass NCV2 operation mode.

To access Hawkeye® 2 nozzle control valve diagnostics information by configured section:

1. Open the UT Menu and select the RCM - Sprayer Menu button.
2. From the home screen, select the NCV2 Diagnostics button in the lower portion of the screen. The following

settings and information may be displayed for each configured section:

NOTE:

The NCV2 Diagnostics button is displayed on the Home page in the lower portion of the page. It may

be necessary to toggle the lower display to either the tank level or analog gauge view.
