Install the Yaw Sensor

Note:
This section does not apply to the 117-0295-083 SmarTrax kit.
When choosing the location for the yaw sensor, consider the following recommendations:
•
The yaw sensor is not weatherproof. Mount the sensor inside the cab.
•
Mount the yaw sensor in a location away from foot traffic.
•
Mount the yaw sensor to a flat, level surface. The floor of the cab is generally ideal.
•
Mount the yaw sensor so that the Raven logo faces up.
•
The SmarTrax yaw sensor does not need to be oriented toward the direction of vehicle travel.
Note:
If you are going to use the double-sided tape to mount the SmarTrax yaw sensor, be sure to
thoroughly clean and dry the mounting location first.
To Install the Yaw Sensor

Install the SmarTrax Node

Note:
The following procedure applies only to the 117-0295-083 SmarTrax installation kit.
When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following points:
•
The node is not weatherproof. Mount the SmarTrax node inside the machine's cab or driver's compartment.
•
The node mounting location must not create tripping hazards and allow cable routing to avoid crimping or
damaging the cables or the node connections.
•
Mount the SmarTrax node to a flat surface with two of the arrows on the node parallel to the ground and in
a location where it will not be kicked or jarred during normal equipment operation.
•
One of the six numbered direction arrows on the node must be pointing straight in the direction of forward
travel and one arrow must point straight up. Note the number of the arrow corresponding to forward travel
for SmarTrax calibration.
•
Mount the node to a flat, level surface. The floor of the cab is generally ideal.
•
Securely fasten the node using bolts or screws through at least two of the three mounting holes. When
mounted properly, the node should not become loose or rotate.
