6.2 | Connecting a Joystick to COMMAND

In most cases the manual control of hydraulic functions are already available (e.g. when using existing tractor SCVs). In some limited cases it may be necessary to add operator control for hydraulic functions, e.g. when using an additional valve module, or using direct PWM operation of hydraulic valves from the COMMAND ECU. In these situations, two options are available: An analog joystick, or a J1939 CANBUS joystick.

Optionally, connect a compatible joystick to provide manual operator control of height and cross-slope functions.

If using a compatible analog or J1939 CANBUS joystick, this can be connected to the T3H-C002 directly or via a joystick extension harness.

1. Ensure the joystick is fitted with an 8-way Deutsch DT plug (DT06-8S).
2. Mount the joystick in an appropriate location in-cab according to manufacturer mounting instructions.
3. Connect the plug to the connector labelled “Joystick” on the T3H-C002 harness.
4. Verify correct pin alignment before connecting.

See below for the pin positions and connector information noting that this is the receptacle on the T3H-C002 ECU breakout harness.
