INTRODUCTION
OPERATION MODE FEATURES
Direct Injection. Direct injection allows efficient and accurate application of liquid chemicals applied from an
injection module. A separate injection module or tank eliminates mixing chemicals in the main tank, reduces
chemical waste, and simplifies equipment care and maintenance.
Connect up to five Sidekick Pro™ ICD injection systems to the Viper 4 and ISOBUS to control the whole system
through the Hawkeye® 2 user interface screens on the universal terminal. Select a high flow injection system to
control a wide range of chemical flow rates from 5 - 200 oz/min. Select a low flow injection system to provide
chemical flow rates from 1 - 40 oz/min. Refer to the Sidekick Pro™ ICD Calibration and Operation Manual for
additional information on setting up the direct injection system.
Wireless Diagnostic Control. Wireless diagnostic control allows the user to control the system and perform
diagnostics through a personal mobile device such as a tablet or smart phone or by using a wireless remote. The
user can turn on and off boom sections, turn the pump on or off, and view real-time system information for
troubleshooting or demonstration purposes without having to leave the cab. A BLUETOOTH
®
Low-Energy
compatible device is required.
Flow Control. Conventional flow control spray systems use a flow meter to monitor the flow through the system
and adjust a control valve to maintain target application rate. This allows the operator to turn on and off sections
and change vehicle speeds while maintaining the desired application rate.
Pressure Nozzle Control. The RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 control system provides the same spray pattern
and coverage as conventional spray systems. Pressure-based nozzle control allows the operator to maintain the
same target pressure and operate over a larger application speed or flow range while maintaining droplet size.
This may help manage spray drift and allow the equipment to operate in higher winds. Pressure-based control
also allows better rate control at lower target flow rates than the flow meter can detect.
Turn Compensation. Conventional application systems provide a uniform rate across the boom or implement
width. This functionality works well in large field areas with straight swaths to ensure even coverage during
application.
But what if the field you are working is not square? What if the field you are working has numerous waterways,
tree lines, terraces, or other obstacles that require the equipment operator to follow the curvature of the feature
during application? When applying around curves and corners, traditional application systems do not compensate
for the speed variance observed at the inner and outer ends of the boom or implement. The difference in
coverage across the large and ever expanding sizes of application equipment on the market today can result in
large areas of under or over application and will reduce the application efficiency, and negatively impact yields.
Turn compensation, standard with the Hawkeye® 2 nozzle control system, 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 NCV2s 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 34 for additional assistance with enabling the Turn Compensation feature.
Virtual Sections. Whether one section or ten, the RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 Virtual Section feature will
automatically create up to 16 virtual boom sections. This feature is standard on all Hawkeye® 2 systems and
increases boom section resolution. When combined with automatic section control on the task controller, this will
increase spraying efficiency, enhance product mapping, and save time and input costs.
Hawkeye® 2 HD Individual Nozzle Control. Unlock the Hawkeye® 2 HD Individual Nozzle control feature for
the finest product application resolution and accuracy. This mode turns each NCV2 into an individual boom
section and offers maximum product savings. Contact a local Raven dealer for more information.
