IMPORTANT INFORMATION
RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
HOSE ROUTING
The word “hose” is used to describe any flexible, fluid carrying components. Use the following guidelines and
recommendations when connecting and routing hoses while installing or maintaining this Raven system:
• Leave protective caps/covers over hose ends until connecting the end into the hydraulic system to help
prevent contaminants from entering the system. Cap or cover any hose ends disconnected for service or
maintenance.
• Follow existing hose runs already routed on the implement as much as possible. Proper hose routing should:
•Secure hoses and prevent hoses from hanging below the implement.
•Provide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones around shafts;
universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts, and chains; moving linkages,
cylinders, articulation joints, etc.
•Protect hoses from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs, fence posts, crop stubble,
dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the implement).
•Protect hoses from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and normal implement
operation.
•Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal operation and prevent
pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points. Clamp hoses
securely to force controlled movement of the hose.
•Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners, fastener threads or
cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
•Avoid areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab bar.
• Do not connect, affix, or allow hoses to come into contact with components with high vibration forces, hot
surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the temperature rating of hose components.
•Hoses should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed to conditions
beyond hose component specifications.
• Avoid routing hoses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g. dirt, mud, snow, ice,
etc.).
HARNESS ROUTING
The word “harness” is used to describe any electrical cables and leads, both bundled and unbundled. Use the
following guidelines and recommendations when connecting and routing harnesses while installing or
maintaining this Raven system:
• Leave protective caps/covers over harness connectors until needed to avoid dirt and moisture from
contaminating electrical circuits. Cap or cover any harness connectors disconnected for service or
maintenance.
• Secure the harness to the frame or solid structural members at least every 12 in [30 cm].
• Follow existing harness runs already routed on the implement as much as possible. Proper harness routing
should: •Secure harnessing and prevent the harness from hanging below the implement.
•Provide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones around shafts;
universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts, and chains; moving linkages,
cylinders, articulation joints, etc.
•Protect harnessing from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs, fence posts, crop
stubble, dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the implement).

CHAPTER 1
4 RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command FLEX™ 2 Calibration and Operation Manual
•Protect harnessing from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and normal
implement operation.
•Connectors and splices should not be located at bending points or in harness sections that move.
•Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal operation and prevent
pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points. Clamp harnessing
securely to force controlled movement of the harness.
•Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners, fastener threads or
cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
• Do not connect, affix, or allow harnessing to come into contact with components with high vibration forces, hot
surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the temperature rating of harness components.
•Harnessing should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed to
conditions beyond harnessing component specifications.
• Avoid routing harnesses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material (e.g. dirt, mud, snow,
ice, etc.).
• Avoid routing harnesses in areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab bar.
IMPORTANT: Avoid applying direct spray or pressure washing of electrical components and connections. High pressure
streams and sprays can penetrate seals, cause corrosion, or otherwise damage electrical components.
When performing maintenance:
• Inspect electrical components and connectors for corrosion, damaged pins or housings, etc. Clean and resolve
any corrosion issues or replace components or harnessing as necessary.
• Ensure connectors are kept clean and dry. Apply Corrosion X HD to connector mating surfaces and contacts
exposed to moisture, dirt, debris, and other contaminates. Repair or replace harnessing as necessary.

CHAPTER2 INTRODUCTION
The Raven Rate Control Module (RCM) - Sprayer system is designed to provide rate control via an ISOBUS
universal terminal (UT).
Adding the AIM Command FLEX™ II nozzle control system to the RCM - Sprayer allows the machine operator to
monitor and control pressure independently from the application rate without additional displays, controllers, or
consoles.
This document provides information regarding the following aspects of the RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command
FLEX™ II control systems:
• Initial Setup and Navigation
• Calibration
•SystemOperation
• Updating Components
NOTE: Prior to using the control features with any UT display, the RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command FLEX™
II Electronic Control Unit (ECU) must be calibrated for the control system. Refer to Chapter 3, System
Calibration, for assistance with completing the initial calibration wizard.
This manual assumes that the required control hardware is already installed on supported equipment
and is properly connected. Refer to the Updates section on page 9 for installation manual resources or
contact a local Case IH dealer for additional information on supported equipment configurations.

Introduction: RCM - Sprayer Features 7
INTRODUCTION
Bypass (Conventional) Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II 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 NCVs are not detected, the RCM - Sprayer system will automatically configure in Bypass mode.
Bypass mode may also be selected to revert a system with AIM Command FLEX™ II NCVs to
conventional spray control.
Only select bypass mode if the nozzle bodies on the implement are set to bypass the AIM Command
FLEX™ II NCVs during operation.
On/Off Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II System will hold the NCVs 100% open during
application or fully closed when not applying. This mode can be used with air induction tips and stream bars.
Standard Mode. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode will control to a target flow rate and
maintain a constant target pressure for maintaining droplet size.
Variable Pressure (VP) Mode. This RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II mode will control to a target flow
rate and target NCV duty cycle by varying the pressure range. This is useful for scenarios where having a wide
speed and coverage range while maintaining a pressure range is 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 AIM Command FLEX™ II mode allows both a conventional nozzle and
a AIM Command FLEX™ II NCV to run simultaneously to achieve higher flow rates while maintaining a constant
target pressure.
High Flow VP Mode. This mode allows both a conventional nozzle and a NCV to run simultaneously to achieve
higher flow rates. High Flow VP varies pressure and NCV duty cycle to control the target flow rate.
OPERATION MODE FEATURES
Turn Compensation. Turn compensation 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 NCVs 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 38 for additional assistance with
enabling the Turn Compensation feature.
Pressure Nozzle Control. The RCM - Sprayer with AIM Command FLEX™ II control system provides the same
spray pattern and coverage as conventional spray systems. Pressure-based nozzle control allows the operator to
1. Use Bypass, High Flow, or High Flow VP modes if calculated target flow requirements per tip exceed 1.4 gpm
[5.3 l/min].
2. “Target” indicates the user sets a target pressure. “Range” indicates the user sets a min/max pressure range.
3. Maximum of 5 ICD injection pumps may be connected with the AIM Command FLEX™ II control system.
4. Automatically primes the main product only.
5. Recirculates the main product only. Requires a feature unlock.
6. Unless otherwise stated by the tip manufacturer, air induction tips are not recommended when using PWM
nozzle control.
7. Adjustable between 20, 15, or 10.
8. There exists four pre-set profiles and two user-set profiles of eight nozzles per profile. Two profiles may be
run simultaneously.
9. Requires individual nozzle control unlock for operation. Can only be used in the presented modes of NCV
operation.
10.Up to 36 virtual sections will be available if individual nozzle control is not unlocked, or if the field computer
does not support over 36 sections.

CHAPTER 2
8 RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command FLEX™ II Calibration and Operation Manual
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.
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 AIM Command FLEX™ II 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 by using a wireless remote. The user can turn on and offboom sections, or turn the pump on or off, for
troubleshooting or demonstration purposes without having to leave the cab.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix F, Remote Control and Diagnostics, for additional assistance with the wireless
remote.
Automated Boom Priming. This feature streamlines the conventional boom priming process, where product is
sprayed out of the boom until consistent product application is achieved at all spray tips. Whether removing air,
chemical, or rinse water, the Automated Boom Priming feature makes sure the priming process is consistent. Boom
Priming requires no additional cabling or plumbing, may be used in any mode of operation, and allows the user to
adjust the Section Auto-Operation times to fine-tune the priming process.
Boom Recirculation. Boom Recirculation allows the user to circulate product from the tank, to the boom, and
back. A machine operator may prime the spray system, re-suspend chemicals that may have separated within the
boom, and minimize chemical deposit buildup, all without dispensing product from the boom spray tips.
Boom recirculation may be enabled and disabled automatically or manually from the UT when not spraying. Users
can adjust the Section Auto-Operation times to perfect the amount of circulation happening per section. Enabling
this feature requires NCV installation and cannot be active when direct injection is in use.
Flow Offsets. The flow offset feature allows the operator to adjust the flow rate of a set of NCVs anywhere on the
boom by ± 50% from the rest of the boom to maintain optimal coverage.
The flow offset may be activated on up to two configured NCV Flow Offset profiles simultaneously. Four factory
preset NCV Flow Offset profiles, as well as two user configurable profiles, are available. Each profile may contain
up to eight NCVs.
Virtual Sections. This feature allows the system to automatically divide nozzles on the boom in up to 36 virtual
sections.
Nozzle Level Control. This mode turns each NCV into an individual boom section and offers maximum product
savings. Contact a local Case IH dealer for more information.
NCV Override Off. If HD Individual Nozzle Control is unlocked, the user can override any number of individual
NCVs off while spraying. This can be done with or without showing coverage for that area. Actual application rates
are automatically adjusted to ensure remaining NCVs are apply correctly.
NOTE: Any additional direct injection products on the system would need to be independently primed.

Introduction: Care and Use 9
INTRODUCTION
CARE AND USE
Always follow equipment manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures for storing equipment. Perform
the following maintenance procedures before storing equipment with the control system:
1. Empty product from the chemical supply tank and flush the application system with water or an approved tank
cleaner following the machine manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
NOTE: A tank cleaner compatible with Viton™ seal materials is recommended for use with the AIM
Command FLEX™ II NCVs.
2. Remove hardened chemical residues or build up by flushing the system with soap and water.
3. Prime the system plumbing with a 50% water and automotive antifreeze mixture to prevent freezing of NCV
components. Freezing can result in damage to plumbing components on the system.
Refer to Appendix C, Maintenance Schedule and Replacement Parts, for additional assistance with maintaining the
AIM Command FLEX™ II nozzle control valves.
UPDATES
NOTE: It may be necessary to reset or recalibrate the system after the update is complete. Prior to
performing a software update, record all settings in the Calibration Reference Sheet section on page v.
Each RCM - Sprayer update may include a new NCV software package which will update NCVs
connected to the system. If an NCV is replaced, the replacement NCV may cause a system
notification that NCV software is mismatched or out-of-date and requires an update. Individual NCVs
may be updated via the same process in the RCM - Sprayer.
The Raven Service Tool (P/N 117-0171-464) or CNHi Electronic Service Tool (EST) and a laptop PC (Windows 7 or
newer) are required to update the RCM - Sprayer ECU. Refer to the Raven Service Tool Operation Manual (P/N
016-5030-022) for additional assistance with updating the RCM - Sprayer.
Refer to NCV Updates section on page 84, for additional assistance with performing device updates.
