Bypass (Conventional) Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 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 NCV2s are not detected, the RCM - Sprayer system will automatically configure in Bypass mode.
Bypass mode may also be selected to revert a system with Hawkeye® 2 NCVs to conventional spray
control.
Only select bypass mode if the nozzle bodies on the implement are set to bypass the
NCVs during operation.
Standard Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 mode will control to a target flow rate and maintain a
constant target pressure.
Variable Pressure (VP) Mode. This RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 mode will control to a target flow rate and
target NCV2 duty cycle by varying the pressure range. This is useful for scenarios where maintaining a constant
target pressure is not 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 Hawkeye® 2 mode allows both a conventional nozzle and a
Hawkeye® 2 NCV to run simultaneously to achieve higher flow rates.
On/Off Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with Hawkeye® 2 System will hold the NCV2s 100% open during application or
fully closed when not applying. This mode can be used with air induction tips and stream bars.
