Important Safety Information: 1
CHAPTER 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Read this manual and the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller
carefully before installing the VSN system.
• Follow all safety information presented within this manual.
• If you require assistance with any portion of the installation or service of your Raven equipment, contact your
local Raven dealer for support.
• Follow all safety labels affixed to the VSN system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good condition
and replace any missing or damaged labels. To obtain replacements for missing or damaged safety labels,
contact your local Raven dealer.
When operating the machine after installing VSN, observe the following safety measures:
• Be alert and aware of surroundings.
• Do not operate VSN or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or an illegal substance.
• Remain in the operator’s position or a safe working distance away from the booms at all times when VSN is
engaged.
• Disable VSN when exiting from the operator’s seat and machine.
• Do not drive the machine with VSN enabled on any public road.
• Determine and remain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for disabling
VSN when the safe working distance has diminished.
• Ensure VSN is disabled prior to starting any maintenance work on VSN or the machine.
• The machine must remain stationary and switched off, with the booms unfolded and supported, during
installation or maintenance.
NOTICE
WARNING

CHAPTER 1
2 VSN Installation Manual for NH SP 310F / Miller 7310 Front Boom Sprayers MY19+
GENERAL
• Always verify that the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power leads
could cause severe damage to the equipment.
• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.
• A minimum of 12 VDC is required for system operation with a maximum of 15 VDC.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE ROUTING
The word “harness” is used to mean all electrical leads and cables, bundled and unbundled. When installing
harness, secure it at least every 30 cm (12in) to the frame. Follow existing harness as much as possible and use
these guidelines:
Harness should not contact or be attached to:
• Lines and hoses with high vibration forces or pressure spikes
• Lines and hoses carrying hot fluids beyond harness component specifications
Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps
• Wire exiting conduit without protection, either ends or side of conduit
• Hose and tube fittings
Routing should not allow harnesses to:
• Hang below the unit
• Have the potential to become damaged due to exposure to the exterior environment. (i.e. tree limbs, debris,
attachments)
• Be placed in areas of or in contact with machine components which develop temperatures higher than the
temperature rating of harness components
• Wiring should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond harness component
specifications
Harnessing should not have sharp bends
Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:
• Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch)
• Pulleys, gears, sprockets
• Deflection and backlash of belts and chains
• Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets
CAUTION

Important Safety Information: Instructions for Wire Routing 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1
• Changes of position in RS1 HD and suspension systems
• Moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, attachments
• Ground engaging components
For harness sections that move during machine operation:
• Allow sufficient length for free movement without interference to prevent: pulling, pinching, catching or
rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points
• Clamp harnesses securely to force controlled movement to occur in the desired harness section
• Avoid sharp twisting or flexing of harnesses in short distances
• Connectors and splices should not be located in harness sections that move
Protect harnesses from:
• Foreign objects such as rocks that may fall or be thrown by the unit
• Buildup of dirt, mud, snow, ice, submersion in water and oil
• Tree limbs, brush and debris
• Damage where service personnel or operators might step or use as a grab bar
• Damage when passing through metal structures
IMPORTANT:
•Avoid directly spraying electrical components and connections with high pressure water. High
pressure water sprays can penetrate seals and cause electrical components to corrode or
otherwise become damaged. When performing maintenance:
•Inspect all electrical components and connections for damage or corrosion. Repair or replace
components, connections, or cable as necessary.
•Ensure connections are clean, dry, and not damaged. Repair or replace components,
connections, or cable as necessary.
•Clean components or connections using low pressure water, pressurized air, or an aerosol
electrical component cleaning agent.
•Remove visible surface water from components, connections, or seals using pressurized air or an
aerosol electrical component cleaning agent. allow components to dry completely before
reconnecting cables.

Installation: Route the Cables 15
INSTALLATION
ROUTE THE CABLES
1. Identify the VSN Visual Guidance cable (P/N 115-2020-018)
2. Disconnect the CM041 connection on the boom.
FIGURE 14. CM041 Connection
3. Tee in the 115-2020-018 cable into this connection by removing the factory connector nut and making the tee
connection on the front side of the center rack.
4. Route the VSN connector up and along the boom between the boom frame and front blue cover.
5. Plug the VSN connector into the VSN from below.
FIGURE 15. VSN Connection
6. Route the analog video cable down the lift arms, following hoses and ensuring plenty of slack in the cable near
the boom main frame.
7. Route the analog video cable under the cab to the preferred place to drill a hole in the floor of the cab.
NOTE: Failure to properly route cabling will result in premature cable wear in high-crop conditions.

CHAPTER 3
16 VSN Installation Manual for NH SP 310F / Miller 7310 Front Boom Sprayers MY19+
8. Safely and carefully drill a hole in the preferred location in the floor of the cab.
NOTE: Ensure there is enough slack in the cable to be routed next to the drilled hole in the floor of the cab.
Ensure the drilled hole does not interfere with other cables or electronics in the cab.
9. Connect the analog video end of the 115-2020-008 cable to port 6 on the Viper 4.
FIGURE 16. Viper 4 Connection
10. Route the bulkhead end of the cable through the hole in the floor and connect to the analog video breakout
previously routed on the 115-220-018 cable.
11. Connect the 115-2020-019 radar sensor cable to the 12-pin Aux Sensor connector on the 115-2020-018 cable.
12. Route the cable down the lift arms and first to the front right tire, making sure to follow hydraulic hoses to
account for suspension travel, steering movement, and change in width if applicable.
NOTE: Ensure proper cable routing by following hydraulic hoses and routing the cables through the
protective covering around the hydraulic hoses for maximum protection.
FIGURE 17. Proper and Improper Cable Routing
NOTE: Ensure the cable is routed away from hinge/pinch points under the machine bottom covers.
Proper Improper
