Two size AAA cell batteries power the SmaRT HH-x10, and it operates between 2.0VDC to
3.2VDC. Six visible status/diagnostic LEDs (see Figure 2) indicate transmit (TX) and receive
(RX) activity, communications errors (ERR), and low battery (BAT) warning. Two additional
LEDs—A1 and A2—offer custom-programmed auxiliary status indications.
Figure 2. Standard Ten-Button Example
Notice in Figure 2 that the ten function pushbuttons are unassigned to specific SmaRT base unit
outputs. This allows for maximum flexibility while programming to interface with the wide array of
available SmaRT base units. An example of a custom programmed HH-x10 is shown as the
center unit in Figure 1.

2.0 Remote Control and Base Unit Communication
2.1 Associate HH-xH10 Remote Control to Base Unit
An HH-x10 remote control unit must establish a communications link with a base unit before it
can be used for control. An HH-x10 remote (as part of a system) is associated with the system
base unit before leaving Cervis, Inc. But, it is possible to associate an HH-x10 in the field either
to address a communication problem or to add or replace a remote control unit. The procedure
to establish the link is called “Association”.
In situations where it is necessary to establish or re-establish remote control-to-base unit
communications, use the following steps:
HH-9H10/2H10 Models:
1. Stand near the base unit with the remote control OFF and power removed from
the base unit.
2. Push and hold the B1 and ON buttons. All six LEDs light solid.
3. Observe the LEDs. When only the TX LED begins to blink, power up the base
unit while continuing to hold B1 and ON.
4. When all six LEDs light solid, release both buttons.
HH-9X10 Models:
1. Stand near the base unit with the remote control OFF and power removed from
the base unit.
2. Push and hold the B1 and ON buttons for approximately two seconds. The A1,
A2, and TX LEDs light. Release the B1 and ON buttons.
3. Press and hold button B1. Turn base unit power on. Release button B1 when
base unit powers up.
The remote control and base unit are connected when both the TX and RX LEDs on both
devices start blinking simultaneously as messages pass between them.The SmaRT system is
ready for use.

2.2 Dissociate HH-xH10 Remote Control from Base Unit
In some circumstances, it may become necessary to break the communication link, or
“dissociate”a remote control and a base unit. The dissociate procedure is almost identical to the
associate procedure, except the dissociate button (B2) is used and held throughout the process
instead of the Associate button (B1).
Using the following steps will break all previously established remote
control links.
HH-9H10/2H10 Models:
1. Stand near the base unit with the remote control OFF and power removed from
the base unit.
2. Push and hold B2 and the ON button. All six LEDs light solid.
3. Observe the LEDs. When only the TX LED begins to blink, power up the base
unit while continuing to hold B2 and ON.
4. When all six LEDs light solid, release both buttons.
HH-9X10 Models:
1. Stand near the base unit with the remote control OFF and power removed from
the base unit.
2. Push and hold the B2 and ON buttons for approximately two seconds. The A1,
A2, and TX LEDs light. Release buttons B2 and ON.
3. Press and hold button B2. Turn base unit power on. Release button B2 when
base unit powers up.
4. Remote control and base unit are disconnected when the TX LED (only) starts
blinking.
Established links with base units are removed. To re-establish a communication link with a base
unit, use the Associate Procedure (Section 2.1).

3.0 Battery Installation or Change
Two size AAA cell batteries power SmaRT HH-x10 remote control units. When installing
batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity—as marked on the inside of the compartment—to
avoid damaging the unit.
To replace or install remote control batteries:
1. Loosen the four small Phillips screws on the battery compartment cover, and lift
the cover from the remote control. The screws remain attached to the cover.
2. If installing batteries in an empty battery compartment, install two fresh size AAA
cell batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as illustrated in Figure 5 below.
3. If replacing expired batteries, remove the old batteries, and install two fresh size
AAA cell batteries. (Discard the used batteries according to local regulations.) Be
sure to position the batteries as illustrated in Figure 5 below.
4. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the four Phillips screws. Do not over-
tighten these screws, but make sure they are tight enough to properly seal the
gasket.
 Note: Discard expired batteries according to local regulations.
Figure 5. Remote Control Battery Installation
 Note: Cover screws must be tight enough to compress the sealing gasket. Do not over-
tighten the screws.

4.0 Using a Standard SmaRT Remote Control Unit
Remote control is achieved under the following conditions:
Communication between the remote control and base unit must be established. If the
remote control and base unit are not communicating while under power, the link must be
established using the Associate Procedure (Section 2.1).
You must be in clear line of sight of the base unit while holding the remote control–usually
within approximately 300m of the unit.
Usually, each button is programmed for a particular assigned function or hardwired output driven
by the base unit. The control may be either:
Momentary,where the command is active only while the button is engaged.
Latched,where, once pushed, the output or function remains active when the button is
released.
Figure 6. HH-x10 Front Panel
Turn the HH-x10 remote control on by pushing and releasing the green ON button at the bottom
of the unit. The remote control remains under power until either:
1. The red OFF button is pushed.
2. The Inactivity timeout occurs, where no button activity is sensed for a
programmed amount of time (default=four minutes).
When the remote control is turned off—and the base unit Safety Link is enabled—all active base
unit functions are deactivated.

5.0 Low Battery Warning and Low Battery Auto-Shutdown
At 2.1VDC and below, the Amber battery (BAT) LED begins flashing approximately once per
second to indicate a Low Battery Warning. Messages are still being transmitted, and the remote
control can still be used; but Cervis, Inc. recommends installing a fresh set of two AAA cell
batteries as soon as possible.
At 2.0VDC, the Amber BAT LED will turn on solid, and the unit will begin a self power shutdown.
The associated device will receive a low-battery power-down message.
 Note: At 2.0VDC the BAT LED only lights for approximately 1.25 seconds. Be aware that
you can easily miss this brief time. Once the remote control automatically shuts down, the
unit will not function properly until a fresh set of two AAA cell batteries are installed.
Figure 7. HH-x10 Remote Low Battery Warning and Auto-Shutdown
LOW BATTERY
The
BAT LED begins flashing once per second, indicating that a LOW BATTERY (2.1V or
less) condition is present. Two fresh AAA cell batteries should be installed as soon as
possible. The LED continues flashing at one-second intervals either unit the batteries are
changed, or until the voltage level drops to 2.0V and Auto-Shutdown occurs.
AUTO-SHUTDOWN
At 2.0V, the
BAT LED flashes briefly for approximately 1.25 seconds before the remote
control unit automatically shuts down.
Two fresh AAA cell batteries must be installed before the transmitter can be used again.
