Hawkeye 2
The most precise nozzle control system, Hawkeye® 2 ensures accurate droplet coverage up to 2.5 times more accurate out of the tip than comparable systems. It provides consistency across the boom which ensures precise droplet coverage, optimizing input costs. Raven’s legacy of performance and support means less downtime and more hectares covered.
The next generation nozzle control valve (NCV) builds upon the previous system: individual nozzle control reduces skips and overlaps; consistent droplet rate and size reduces drift and increases application quality; and turn compensation minimizes over and under application, achieving the ideal application rate across the boom.
Hawkeye 2’s scalable platform sets up your operation for years of success.

Modes of Operation
Standard
Standard mode of operation
User enters both target pressure and target flow rates
Main product pump controls to the target pressure and the nozzles control to the target flow rate
VP (Variable Pressure)
Like Standard Mode but user does not enter a target pressure
Target pressure calculated based on target duty cycle
System control priority is target flow, then target nozzle duty cycle
Allows for a wider range of operating flows where the operational pressure is not a priority, i.e., fertilizer application
High Flow
Simultaneously run both a conventional nozzle and a standard nozzle
User enters target pressure and target flow rate
Like Standard Mode except flow rates are higher since there are two nozzles running in parallel
Individual nozzle control not available in this mode Bypass
Bypass
Traditional conventional based flow-control where NCVs must be bypassed
Pump output adjusted to meet target flow On/Off
On/Off
Like Bypass Mode except nozzles are open to 100%
Nozzles can be used without having to open a manual bypass valve
Provides added benefit of individual nozzle control while using air induction tips
Turn compensation not available in this mode
