1.0 SmaRT 218, 918 Remote Control System
 Note: Frequency of operation for a SmaRT system will be either in the 900MHz or
2.4GHz range. The first number in the name of the system or device indicates the
frequency of operation. For instance, a SmaRT 18-button handheld remote with an
ON button and an OFF button will either be OO-218 or OO-918, where a 2 indicates
2.4GHz and 9 indicates 900MHz. As such, reference to the system, handheld
remote, and base unit in this manual will use x in the name (rather than a 2 or 9) to
indicate the frequency of operation.
A standard SmaRT x18 Remote Control System consists of a SmaRT OO-x18 18-
button handheld remote control unit and a BU-x16F base unit. A SmaRT system is
capable of communicating in congested radio environments using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) wireless technology at a system dependant 900MHz or
2.4GHz range. The system communication link between the handheld remote control
and the base unit is established at the factory using a process known as Association.
The system can also be seamlessly associated in the field without the need to open the
enclosures of either unit by a wireless process described later in this manual.
The OO-x18 handheld remote has a dedicated ON button and an OFF button. The
remaining sixteen buttons are assigned to and used to control the base unit outputs.
The BU-x16F base unit has sixteen solid state FET channels. System configuration is
extended as the I/O can also be custom configured by Cervis Engineering to be inputs
or outputs.

2.2 SmaRT OO-x18 Handheld Battery Installation
The handheld remote operates between 1.6 to 3.2VDC powered by four factory
installed 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Cervis, Inc. recommends that fresh spare batteries
be at hand at all times that the system is in use.

Note: The battery cover is designed so that the four screws holding the battery
cover in place are ‘captive’ to the cover. Although not easily removed from the
cover itself, be aware that if the screws are over-loosened while opening the
battery compartment, they can be completely removed increasing the risk of
loss. All four screws must be installed to maintain a tight seal.
1. Place the remote face down and remove the four screws holding the battery cover in
place. Remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the discharged batteries and properly dispose in accordance with local
regulations.
3. Plug each fresh battery into a terminal cradle observing proper polarity. The interior
of the cradle shows polarity markings for each terminal. Make sure the batteries are
firmly seated in the cradle.
4. Replace the battery cover. Secure the cover with the four screws. Make sure they
are tightened enough to compress the seal, but be careful not to over-tighten.
Figure 3. OO-x18 Handheld Battery Compartment
Observe proper polarity when placing batteries into the cradle. Improper
battery placement can result in excessive heat, battery explosion, injury
to the operator, and damage to the remote.
 Note: Cervis, Inc. recommends that the batteries be removed from the handheld
remote when the remote is going to be stored for any extended length of time.

2.3 Low Battery Warning
When low voltage is sensed—approximately 1.7V—the AMBER RX LED will no longer
indicate that there is an incoming message. Instead, the LED will begin to flash
approximately once per second indicating a Low Battery Warning. Messages are still
being received, and the handheld can still be used, but it is recommended that a fresh
set of four AA batteries should be installed as soon as possible.
Figure 4. Low Battery Warning and Auto-Shutdown
2.4 Low Battery Auto-Shutdown
When the critical Auto-Shutdown voltage is sensed (approximately 1.6VDC), the
AMBER RX LED will stop pulsing, the handheld will no longer communicate with the
base unit, the RED LED will pulse for approximately 30 seconds indicating the handheld
remote is about to completely shut down. The four AA batteries must be replaced
before the handheld remote can be used.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
At Low Voltage, the AMBER RX LED stops flashing as messages are received by the
handheld remote from the base unit. Messages are still being received, but they are not
indicated by the LED. The RX LED begins flashing once per second indicating a LOW
BATTERY situation is present. The batteries should be replaced with four fresh AA batteries
as soon as possible. The LED will continue to flash at one second intervals until the batteries
are changed, or until the voltage level drops to the level where Auto-Shutdown occurs.
LOW BATTERY AUTO-SHUTDOWN
As the critical Auto-Shutdown voltage is sensed, the AMBER LED stops flashing.
The RED LED flashes for approximately 30 seconds indicating the handheld remote
is automatically shutting down. The four AA batteries must be replaced before the
handheld can be used again.

4.0 Associate Mode
The Associate Mode is used to establish the
communications link between the 18-button handheld
remote and base unit on a 1-to-1 basis. There must
be a clear line of sight between the handheld and the
base to associate, and both units must be OFF
(powered down). The 18-Button Handheld is turned
off by pressing the OFF button. The SmaRT base unit
is safely powered down by removing the power
source from the unit.
To prevent inadvertent movement of
the machine, be sure to remove
power from the Base Unit before
attempting to enter Associate Mode.
Observe LED states while performing the
following Association:
1. Remove power from the base unit and turn off the handheld.
2. Stand near the base unit with the handheld in clear line-of-sight.
3. Press and hold button 12, then press and hold the ON button. LEDs #1 (green), #2
(amber), and #3 (red) light solid.
4. Continue to hold both buttons until the Amber LED (#2)goes OUT. Immediately
release both the ON and 12 buttons. You have approximately 2 seconds to perform
the next step. If you miss this window of opportunity, you must restart this procedure
starting at Step 3.
5. Press and hold button 1. Wait until the Amber LED #2 goes out.
6. Turn the base unit ON while holding button 1. LEDs illuminate.
7. When the Red LED #3 goes out, release button 1.
If the Association is successful, green LED #1 and amber LED #2 will continually flash
(TX and RX respectively) indicating that the handheld and the base unit are
communicating.
 Note: The label on early versions of the OO-x18 handheld remote indicated eight
LED places numbered left-to-right as 1 though 8 respectively as opposed to the
current six LED places shown throughout this manual, which are numbered from
left-to-right as 1 though 6.
LED numbers 2 (green), 3 (amber), and 4 (red) were the active LEDs on the eight-
place units, which respectively relate to active LED numbers 1 (green), 2 (amber),
and 3 (red) in the current version shown in this manual.

Push-To-Operate means that the outputs under control should only change
states when the appropriate button or switch of the handheld is pressed or
positioned, and then only for the duration of time that particular output button
is pressed. Any unexpected motion that occurs when pressing the output
control buttons of the handheld must be investigated.
Should a jerkiness of motion occur while constantly pressing an output
switch, immediately stop operation. Check the base unit diagnostic LEDs for
any indication of a problem. Diagnostic descriptions are found in the manual
of the particular SmaRT base unit.
Be aware that even if the diagnostic LEDs of the handheld and base unit do
not indicate a problem, one may be present and further troubleshooting
steps may be needed.
If a problem is found, do not operate the SmaRT System until the problem is
resolved.
