Introduction
Additional Hardware Components
Paddle Extension Plates. An extension plate kit may be required for installations on older Gleaner, New
Holland, or Massey Ferguson harvesters. Plates may also be necessary for other harvesters if the SmartYield
Pro system has difficulty achieving a good calibration. Extension plates are typically only required on harvester
paddles with angled mounting brackets because angled mounting brackets (Refer to Figure 1, “Angled Paddle
Mounting Brackets,”) may result is inconsistent sensor readings. In some instances, moving the sensor
location towards the lift side may eliminate the need for extension plates.
FIGURE 1. Angled Paddle Mounting Brackets
Refer to the SmartYield Pro Calibration and Operation Manual for details on the calibration and to help
determine if extension plates are necessary.
Refer to “Yield Sensor Paddle Extension Plates” on page 18 for additional information on installing extension
plates.

Introduction
Care and Maintenance
To achieve the best accuracy from the Raven SmartYield™ Pro system, perform daily and seasonal system
maintenance:
•When harvesting particularly oily crops, make sure that the grain sensor lenses and moisture sensor stay
reasonably clean.
•Cross-check moisture readings and grain density settings by measuring reference samples of the crop
when first starting harvest operations.
•Check and, if required, tare (zero) the yield reading with the clean grain elevator running empty.
•The clean grain elevator chain should be in good condition and properly tensioned before starting harvest
operations.

Yield Sensor Installation Recommendations
Inspect the harvester’s clean grain elevator prior to drilling any holes or mounting any brackets to the clean
grain elevator. Keep the following items in mind when selecting a location to mount the yield sensors:
•Yield sensor mounting location is critical for proper performance of the SmartYield Pro system. The sensors
should be mounted as high as possible on the clean grain elevator and should be offset from the lift side of
the elevator by a measurement ‘X’ specific for each make and model of harvester. Refer to the Yield Sensor
Locations section on page 13 for a table of yield sensor offset values.
Note: The ‘X’ measurement must be made perpendicular from the side wall on the lift side of the clean
grain elevator.
If your specific harvester make and model is not listed, contact a local Raven dealer or the Raven
technical support center for additional instructions.
•Depending on the paddle mounting bracket, the sensor installation bracket may vary. Refer to Figure 1,
“Sensor Mounting Options,” for sensor mounting location options.

FIGURE 2. Recommended SmartYield™ Pro Yield Sensor Mounting and Sensor Beam Alignment
•While the yield sensors provide some tolerance for misalignment when installed, it is important to align and
level the sensors as carefully as possible. A SmartYield Pro installation tool kit (P/N 117-0171-468) is
available with drill bits and a square which may be helpful with leveling and aligning the yield sensors during
installation.
Ideally, the yield sensors are mounted parallel with the ground when the vehicle is parked on a level surface
with the sensors aligned directly across the clean grain elevator from each other. Use a carpenters square,
level and any other tools to help level, align, and mark the yield sensor installation locations before drilling
any holes in the clean grain elevator.
•Check for moving components such as belts, chains, and access panels on the clean grain elevator. Ensure
the yield sensors and mounting brackets will not interfere with, or be struck during, normal equipment
operation.
It may be necessary to assemble the yield sensors and brackets and rough out the yield sensor installation
to verify clearances.
•It may be necessary to disconnect or move some components on some machine makes or models to allow
for yield sensor installation. Contact a local dealership or the machine manufacturer for additional
assistance with factory equipment.
•The yield sensors must consistently register individual paddles as they pass the sensor lenses. It is
recommended to open the clean grain elevator door and check or measure the location of the elevator
chain and verify the location for the yield sensors in the clean grain elevator wall.
Note: An extension tab kit (P/N 117-0171-462) may be required for installations on older Gleaner, New
Holland or Massey Ferguson harvesters. Tabs may also be necessary for other harvesters if the
SmartYield Pro system has difficulty achieving a good calibration.

Yield Sensor Mounting
The SmartYield™ Pro yield sensors must be mounted to the clean grain elevator using the sensor mounting
brackets.
Sensor Mounting Brackets
Note: If the clean grain elevator is non-magnetic, use the supplied rivets to mount the yield sensors using
the provided brackets. Place the brackets against the elevator as a template and drill pilot holes for
rivets to mount the brackets.
Two sensor mounting bracket types are supplied in the SmartYield Pro kit:
FIGURE 4. Sensor Bracket Types
Select the type of bracket best suited for each yield sensor location and the clean grain elevator configuration.
Review the Yield Sensor Installation Recommendations section on page 11 and ensure that the sensors are
properly aligned before drilling any holes in the clean grain elevator. To mount the yield sensors using the
mounting brackets:
1. Insert a 1/4” bolt (P/N 311-0049-103) through the recessed side of the ceramic magnet assembly (P/N 418-
0000-013). The threaded side of the bolt should extend past the flat side of the magnet assembly.
2. Insert the bolt through the predrilled holes or slot in the mounting bracket tab.
3. Secure the magnets to the bracket using a 1/4” nut (P/N 312-4000-057).

7. Drill pilot holes (bit provided in optional installation tool kit) at the marked locations. Use caution when
drilling the pilot holes and do not push the drill bit to full depth.
8. Once the pilot hole is drilled, use the bit to feel for a paddle or other components of the clean grain elevator.
If necessary, operate the elevator to move the paddles or other obstructions away from the drilling area.
9. If there is no issue with the pilot hole location, drill a 7/8” [22.5 mm] holes for the yield sensor on each side
of the clean grain elevator. A hole saw bit is provided in the optional installation tool kit for drilling the yield
sensor holes.
Note: Hole saw bits are designed for use at low speeds. Adjust the drill speed to the lowest speed
setting.
For elevators with limited access to the inside wall, use an extended drill bit to drill the sensor hole
on the inside elevator wall if the dimensions of the grain elevator allow. Be careful to level the bit or
drill to ensure that the sensors will align.
Mounting Yield Sensors
1. Remove the two jam nuts nearest to the sensor eye.
2. Slide the sensor body through the mounting bracket (towards the elevator) and replace the jam nuts. Leave
the sensor body loose until the sensor depth is properly adjusted.
FIGURE 7. Yield Sensor Body Jam Nuts
3. Thread the lens assembly onto the sensor body and tighten four to six revolutions.
4. Use the jam nut nearest to the sensor eye to secure the cap to the sensor body.
