✓Read and follow all instructions.
✓Failure to abide by Safety Precautions may cause equipment failure, loss of authority
to operate the equipment, and personal injury.
✓Use and maintain proper wiring. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions.
Improper, loose, and frayed wiring can cause system failure, equipment damage, and
intermittent operation.
✓Changes or modifications made to equipment not expressly approved by the
manufacturer will void the warranty.
✓Equipment owner/operators must abide by all applicable Federal, State, and Local
laws concerning proper equipment installation and operation. Failure to comply could
result in penalties and could void user authority to operate the equipment.
✓Make sure that the machinery and surrounding area is clear before operating. Do not
activate the remote control system until certain that it is safe to do so.
✓Turn off the handheld remote and remove power from the base unit before attempting
any maintenance. This will prevent accidental operation of the controlled machinery.
✓Remove power from the base unit either by detaching the 12-pin cables from the
enclosure or by removing the source power from the base unit circuit.
✓Use a damp cloth to keep units clean. Remove mud, concrete, dirt, etc. after use to
prevent obstructing or clogging the buttons, levers, joysticks, wiring, and switches.
✓Do not allow liquid to enter the handheld or base unit enclosures. Do not use high-
pressure equipment to clean the handheld remote or base unit.
✓Disconnect the radio base unit before welding on the machine. Failure to disconnect
the base unit may cause destruction of or damage to the base unit.
✓Operate and store units only within the specified operation and storage temperatures
defined in this document’s specifications.
✓Keep high-energy radio frequency (RF) devices away from handheld remotes.
Activating high-power communication radios, for instance, in close proximity to
handheld remotes can cause interference and “false” circuit activation.
✓Do not key two-way radios while using the console box remote.
✓ Note: A SmaRT handheld remote’s operating frequency is in either the 2.4 GHz or 900 MHz
range. The first number in the system or device name indicates the operating frequency. For
instance, a SmaRT CB-xH (console box) handheld remote in this document may either be
CB-2H12LV or CB-9H12JS (or some variation of levers [LV] and joysticks [JS]), where “2”
indicates 2.4 GHz and “9”indicates 900 MHz operating frequency. As such, references to the
handheld remote, base unit, or system in this manual may use “x”rather than “2”or “9”in the
name to indicate the operating frequency.

1.0 SmaRT Console Box CB-xH Remote Introduction
The SmaRT Console Box (CB) wireless family of remote controllers communicate with and
control SmaRT Base Unit (BU) receivers using either 900 MHz (906–924 MHz) or 2.4 GHz
(2405–2480 MHz) frequency ranges. Using line-of-sight Channel-Hopping Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (CH DSSS) technology, either broadcast frequency offers a generous control
distance in congested radio environments. The rugged enclosure and water-resistant
components ensure reliable operation in harsh weather environments—operating in
temperatures as low as –20° C to a maximum of 55° C (–4° F to 131° F)—allowing the unit to
operate worry free in harsh weather conditions.
The SmaRT Console Box is designed for traditional and non-traditional mobile applications.
Capable of activating and deactivating the input and outputs of SmaRT base units (either
standard or enlarged sizes), the CB remote’s ergonomic layout offers comfortable SmaRT
system operation. The SmaRT CB-xH also offers a variety of joystick and switch options—
several of which are illustrated in Figure 1—that are factory configured to order. The controllers
provide a robust link with SmaRT base units in congested radio environments, allowing
seamless association without the need to open the enclosures to establish a link.

2.2 CB-xH Battery Installation and Replacement
The SmaRT console box remote operates between 1.9 to 3.2 VDC powered by two 1.5 V type
“C”cell batteries (included when shipped). Nominal battery life expectation is approximately 70
to 100 operating hours
1
before it becomes necessary to replace the batteries.
Figure 3. SmaRT Console Box Battery Installation
Battery Replacement Process
1. Remove the battery cover by unscrewing it in the counter-clockwise direction.
2. Remove the discharged batteries and properly dispose of them according to local
regulations.
3. Place two “C”cell batteries in the terminal cavity. Observe proper polarity, with
the negative side inserted first and each positive battery terminal facing toward
the cap. The + polarity marking is cut in the interior of the cap as illustrated in
Figure 3.
Replace the battery cover by threading it clockwise onto the cavity. You will feel tension as you
tighten the cap. Hand-tighten the cap to compress the compartment O-ring seal embedded in
the cap. Make sure you do not overtighten the cap, or you will damage the battery compartment.
 Note: Change batteries soon after the first low-battery warning to ensure continued reliable
operation. Cervis, Inc. recommends having fresh spare batteries on hand at all times that the
system is in use. The console box remote senses when the voltage is at the low power
threshold—approximately 2.1 V—at which time, the Amber battery (BATT) LED periodically
flashes to warn you that you must change the batteries soon. The warning flashes while the
unit is in use either until the batteries are replaced or until the voltage drops below 1.9 V; after
which, the unit automatically powers down (auto-shutdown). The unit will not power-up and
operate until the depleted batteries are replaced. Cervis, Inc. recommends replacing them
with two fresh batteries.
1
At room temperature. Not only does usage affect battery life, but so does operating or storing the battery in
too-high or too-low ambient temperatures. For instance, the longer batteries are exposed to extreme cold or
heat, the more likely battery life will be negatively affected. Factors such as a battery’s age and initial quality
also may come into play.
Observe proper polarity when
placing batteries into the
battery compartment. Improper
battery placement can cause
excessive heat, battery
explosion, injury to the
operator, and damage to the
remote.

3.0 Umbilical Connection (Option)
The umbilical connector is located on the right side of the console box. The connector is capped
to protect it when it is not being used. The standard connector is a four-pin connector that allows
for hardline CAN communications. When the CAN option is active, the console box radio is
disabled, and all commands are issued to the base unit through the umbilical cable. Cervis, Inc.
offers an array of umbilical kits that simplify connecting a SmaRT console box. Figure 8
illustrates an example of a C4-20 Umbilical Kit that may be used in a SmaRT console box
system.

Base unit connections are determined
by the specific base unit used in the
SmaRT system. These connections
are detailed in the Engineered System
Manual (ESM) or Engineered System
