104 RCM - Sprayer and AIM Command FLEX™ II Calibration and Operation Manual
APPLICATION SPEED GUIDE
The ranges for speed and flow rate provided in this section are for reference purposes only. Observed ranges may
vary depending upon application system plumbing and hardware. It is recommended to avoid operating at, or
close to, the upper and lower limits of the speed or flow rate ranges shown for each spray tip. The values in the
following tables are based on 20” nozzle spacing.
Review the following information before proceeding to Table 3, “Standard Mode Speed Range (MPH) - 20”
Spacing (3-8 GPA),” on page 105 or Table 4, “Standard Mode Speed Range (MPH) - 20” Spacing (10-20 GPA),” on
page 106:
• Operating speeds and ranges below 0.5mph and above 30mph are not shown.
• For best coverage, target application rates, pressures, operating speeds, and tip sizes for 70% (+/- 10%) of the
average NCV duty cycle when driving straight in the field, and still allow for some periodic speed adjustment
and turn compensation.
• Avoid tip sizes and speeds resulting in average NCV duty cycle below 40% for contact/coverage sensitive
products.
• 25% duty cycle operation should be avoided, except when conducting a turn.
• Consider adjusting tip sizes or operating speeds if consistently operating at or near 100% of the average NCV
duty cycle in PWM pulsing modes.
• Use Bypass, High Flow, or High Flow VP modes for target application rates above 20 GPA [190 l/ha] or target
flow rates over 1.4 GPM [5.3 l/min] per tip.
• Tip sizes below 02 and above 15 are not recommended for use with NCVs. As spray tip sizes decrease, actual
speed range decreases and tip plugging is more likely. As spray tip sizes increase, full-tip flow will not be
achieved due to the flow limitations of NCVs.
• Overall speed ranges displayed on the UT are less than the speed ranges (in ideal conditions) displayed in
Table 3 on page 105 and Table 4 on page 106. This is to ensure operation within the capabilities of the system.
