2.0 Handheld and Base Unit Communication
2.1 Associate Handheld to Base Unit
An HH-xH10 handheld remote must establish a communication link with a base unit before it can
be used for control. An HH-xH10 remote as part of a system is associated to the system base
unit before leaving Cervis, but it is possible to associate an HH-xH10 in the field to address a
communication problem or to add or replace a handheld controller. The procedure to establish
the link is called Associate. In situations where it is necessary to establish or re-establish
handheld-to-base unit communications, the following steps are used:
1. Stand near to the base unit with the remote OFF and power removed from the base unit.
2. Push and hold B1 and the ON button. All six LEDs light solid.
3. Observe the LEDs. When only the TX 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.
A successful association results in the TX LED on the base unit flashing as messages are
passed between the remote and the base unit.The SmaRT System is ready for use with that
particular handheld remote.

2.2 Dissociate Handheld from Base Unit
In some circumstances it may become necessary to break the communication link, or dissociate
a handheld and a base unit. The Dissociate procedure is almost identical to the Associate
procedure, except the Dissociate button is used and held throughout the process instead of the
Associate button.
Using the following steps will break all previously established handheld remote
links.
1. Stand near to the base unit with the remote 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 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.
Established links with base units are removed. A handheld remote must use the Associate
Procedure (2.1) to re-establish a communication link with a base unit.

3.0 Battery Installation or Change
SmaRT HH-xH10 handheld units are powered by two size AAA alkaline batteries. 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 batteries in the handheld:
1. Loosen the four small Phillips screws from the Battery Compartment cover and
lift the cover from the handheld. The screws remain attached to the cover.
2. If installing batteries in an empty battery compartment, install two fresh size AAA
alkaline batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 5 below.
3. If replacing expired batteries, remove the old batteries and install two fresh size
AAA batteries. (Discard the used batteries in accordance to local regulations.) Be
sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 5 below.
4. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the four Phillips screws. These
screws should not be over-tightened, but they should be tight enough to ensure
the gasket provides a proper seal.
 Note: Discard expired batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Figure 5. Handheld Battery Installation
 Note: Cover screws must be tightened enough to ensure the sealing gasket is compressed.
Do not over-tighten the screws.
Be sure to observe proper polarity when placing batteries in the
handheld battery compartment.

4.0 Using a Standard SmaRT Handheld Remote
Handheld control is achieved under the following conditions:
Communication between the handheld and base unit must be established. If the handheld
and base unit are not communicating while under power, the link must be established
using the Associate Procedure (Heading 2.1).
You must be in clear line of sight of the base unit while holding the handheld—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 momentary,where the command is active only while the
button is engaged—or, it may be latched,where once pushed the output or function remains
active when the button is released.
Figure 6. HH-xH10 Front Panel
The HH-xH10 handheld remote is powered by pushing and releasing the green On button at the
bottom of the unit. The handheld will remain under power until the red Off button is pushed, or
until the Inactivity timeout occurs, where no button activity is sensed for a programmed amount
of time (default four [4] minutes). When the handheld is turned off and the base unit Safety Link
is enabled, all base unit active functions are deactivated.

5.0 Low Battery Warning and Low Battery Auto-Shutdown
At 2.1VDC and below the Amber BATTERY LED will begin to flash approximately once per
second to indicate a Low Battery Warning. Messages are still being transmitted, and the
handheld can still be used, but it is recommended that a fresh set of two (2) AAA alkaline
batteries should be installed as soon as possible.
At 2.0VDC the Amber BATTERY LED will turn on solid and the unit will begin a self powerdown.
The associated device will receive a low battery powerdown message.
 Note: At 2.0VDC the BATTERY LED lights only for approximately 1.25 seconds. Be aware
that this brief time can be easily missed by the handheld operator. Once the handheld auto-
shuts down, the unit will not function properly until a fresh set of two (2) AAA alkaline
batteries are installed.
Figure 7. HH-xH10 Remote Low Battery Warning and Auto-Shutdown
LOW BATTERY
BATTERY LED begins flashing once per second indicating a LOW BATTERY (2.1V or less)
situation is present. Two fresh AAA batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. The
LED will continue to flash at one second intervals unit the batteries are changed, or until the
voltage level drops to 2.0V and Auto-Shutdown occurs.
AUTO-SHUTDOWN
At 2.0V, the BATTERY LED flashes briefly for approximately 1.25 seconds before the
handheld remote automatically shuts down.
Two fresh AAA batteries must be installed before the handheld can be used again.
