1STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the installation of all the
different steering systems, hydraulic and SmarTrax MD.
Look carefully at the system overviews to know which
parts of the installation are applicable.
MOUNTING HARNESSES
When installing an autosteer system, the power cables
should always be connected to the battery. Two
options are possible, a Basic Harness (1-115-8000-141)
or an Implement Ready Harness (1-115-8000-060
frontmount or 1-115-8000-315 midmount). The
differcence between these harnesses is the IBBC
connector, this one is included at an Implement Ready
(IR) Harness (Figure 1) .
Power harness: an Implement Ready power harness is
mounted from the battery to the rear of the tractor. A
Basic power harness is mounted from the battery to
the chassis harness. Make sure that the relays and
fuses are mounted in a dry, clean and accessible spot
(Figure 2).
Which harness will be connected to the Power Harness
depends on which type of steering will be installed.
In addition, a number of guidelines have been
established for the assembly of all types of cable
harnesses:
Mount the relays fixed and in a dry, clean and
accessible spot (Figure 2).
The red wire is + (12V). The black wire is minus
(ground). Make sure that the first part of the
red wire (part in between battery and fuses)
cannot damage during operation.
If necessary the positive and negative wires, in
between the battery and the fuses, can be
shortened. Be sure to use cable sockets with
the correct size for proper connection.

If a ground switch is used in the tractor,
connect the wiring harness behind the ground
switch (not at the battery side of the ground
switch!).
If a main (12V) switch is used in the tractor, the
red wire connect the wiring harness behind the
main switch (not at the battery side of the
main switch!).
If no main switch is used, always connect the
wiring harness directly to the battery.
If the system is connected to a 24 Volt
machine, always use a 24V to 12V converter.
Never connect between the two batteries of a
24V machine!
Lead the terminal harness along with the GPS
and radio/GSM antenna cables through one
pillar of the cab.
Tie-wrap the harnesses so they are attached
free from vibration and friction.
Caution!:
It is important to ensure that the wiring harness
is always connected to the battery AFTER
installing all wires and controllers!

HYDRAULICS
1.2.1 HYDRAULIC VALVE
Figure 3 shows a manifold mounted onto a manifold
bracket with four M8 bolts. The manifold bracket is
preferably mounted at the right hand side of the
tractor (Figure 4). This is usually the side of the tractor
with the most space.
Please note!:
Make sure the connectors of the valves and the
pressure sensor can still be connected after
mounting the manifold.

1.2.2 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION LOAD SENSE
The manifold should be connected between the hoses
leading from the steering orbitrol to the steering
cylinder(s). To do so, the hoses should be
disconnected, preferably on an existing connection
between a pipe line and a hose.
Connect the hoses from the steering orbitrol to A1
and B1 on the manifold. Connect the hoses to the
steering cylinders to A and Bon the manifold (Figure 7
and Figure 5).
Connect the pressure line, return line and the LS line of
the hydraulic pump to the P, Tand LS of the manifold.
When needed refer to the hydraulic diagram of the
tractor to find the correct connections on the tractor.
Caution!:
If there are separate hydraulic systems with
separate oil tanks on the tractor, the manifold
must be connected to the system in which the
steering orbitrol and steering cylinder are
included in.
Hint!:
Mark the lines twice with 'A' and 'B', before
disconnecting them
1.2.3 CONNECTING THE SHUTTLE VALVE
A shuttle valve should be installed in the load sense
line. See Figure 6 for proper mounting and orientation
of the shuttle valve. This way, when in rest, the ball
inside the shuttle valve floats inside the valve, which
will benefit the response for the load sense signal. In
addition, it is important that the shuttle valve is
installed as close to the pump as possible.

Hint!:
In case the wheels of the tractor are steering,
when the hydraulics of the tractor are operated;
a checkvalve should be mounted in the load
sense line from the manifold. The non-return
valve should let oil pass from the manifold to
the check valve/pump and should block in
opposite direction.
Hint!:
A shuttle valve for CNH tractors can be provided
by Raven Europe (part no. 13348001014) or the
local CNH dealer (part no. 82018814).
1.2.4 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION OPEN CENTER
The manifold v3 open center consists of the standard
load sense manifold v3 with an add-on open center
part (Figure 8). Ensure the add-on is mounted the
correct way.
The pressure line that normally runs from the hydraulic
pump to the steering orbitrol, should be connected to
the Pof the add-on open center part. Then connect a
line between P1 of the manifold and the pressure line
of the orbitrol. Connect the Tof the manifold to a tank
inlet (Figure 9Figure 9 and Figure 10).
Connect the hoses leading from the orbitrol to A1 and
B1 on the manifold. Connect the hoses to the steering
cylinders to A and Bof the manifold (Figure 9Figure 9
and Figure 10Figure 10).

1.2.5 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A pressure relief valve is mounted to the add-on part
of the open center manifold (Figure 10). This pressure
relief valve must be set to the maximum allowable
control pressure of the steering system. The default
setting of the pressure relief valve is about 180 bar.
Determine the maximum pressure of the steering
system before mounting the manifold. Follow the next
steps:
Mount a pressure gauge, by making use of
a t-piece in the pressure line between the
hydraulic pump and the steering orbitrol.
Steer the front wheels to one side and
keep steering until the maximum pressure
is reached.
Read out the value on the pressure gauge.
After mounting the manifold. Set the maximum
pressure of the pressure relief valve, equal to the
maximum pressure of the steering system. Follow the
next steps:
Mount a pressure gauge, by making use of a t-
piece in the pressure line between the
hydraulic pump and the manifold.
Loosen the locking nut of the pressure relief
valve.
Loosen the pressure relief valve two turns
counter clockwise.
Steer the front wheels to one side, using the
Left/Right buttons of the CRx. Keep steering
until the maximum pressure is reached.
Read out the value on the pressure gauge.
Adjust the pressure relief valve until the
pressure is equal to the pressure it was before
mounting the manifold.
Secure the pressure relief valve with the
locking nut.

1.2.6 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ON TRACTORS WITH
GEAR PUMP AND LOAD SENSE ORBITROL
CONNECTION
Tractors with a gear-type pump and equipped with an
orbitrol with load sense connection fitted with a load
sense priority valve. This concerns most Valtra models
(Advanced, Versu and Direct) and some Deutz-Fahr
models.
This enables the use of a standard load sense manifold
with a shuttle valve. Because the maximum pressure is
normally limited by the steering orbitrol, an additional
pressure relief valve needs to be installed in the
pressure line to the manifold.
The load sense signal should be connected to the
existing load sense line from the steering orbitrol by
using the shuttle valve supplied. Preferably mount the
shuttle valve horizontally. Connect the hydraulic hoses
as indicated in Figure 12.
Determine the maximum pressure of the steering
system before mounting the manifold. The maximum
pressure of the additional pressure relief valve should
be set equal to the maximum pressure of the steering
system, before mounting the manifold.

1.2.7 MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE
HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNIT.
The Hydraulic Drive Unit bracket can be mounted to
the manifold. The Hydraulic Drive Unit can then be
fitted to the manifold bracket (Figure 13).
Important notes when mounting the Unit:
Mount the Hydraulic Drive Unit with
connectors directed downwards to prevent the
ingress of water!
Do not mount the Hydraulic Drive Unit too
close to parts which have a high temperature
(for example, the exhaust system of the
tractor)!
Connect the DIN connectors marked "Left" and “Right”
to the proportional valve. Connect the DIN connector
marked "Lock" to the shut-off valve. Connect the 4-pin
Phoenix M12 connector to the pressure sensor of the
manifold.
Please note!:
The torque of the pressure sensor in the
manifold V3 is 30 Nm. It is not necessary to
check this at delivery of an assembled
manifold. However, make sure, when replacing
the pressure sensor, that it is tightened with
the correct torque.

1.2.8 WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR
For a correct operation of the Raven system a wheel
angle sensor is necessary. In various types of tractors a
factory fitted wheel angle sensor is already mounted in
the front axle. For different tractor types a ‘spy cable’ is
available at Raven to use the factory fitted wheel angle
sensor for the Raven system. When a spy cable is used
it is not necessary to install a Raven wheel angle
sensor. Ask Raven for more information about the
availability for a specific tractor brand or type.
1.2.9 MOUNTING SPY-CABLE
Take the following steps to mount a wheel angle
sensor spy-cable:
1. Follow the cable from the wheel angle sensor
on the front axle of the tractor to the first
connection in this cable.
2. Disconnect the connectors.
3. Connect the spy-cable in between the
connectors.
4. Connect the wheel angle sensor 5M cable to
the M12 connector of the spy-cable.
5. Mount the spy-cable in a clean and dry
position (Figure 14).
