2.2 Warrior CB-9X Battery Installation and Replacement
The Warrior console box transmitter operates between 2.0VDC to 3.2VDC powered by two 1.5V
type “C” cell batteries (included when shipped). Nominal battery life expectancy is approximately
70 to 100 hours of operation
1
before it becomes necessary to replace the batteries.
Figure 2. Warrior 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 according to local
regulations.
3. Place the two “C” cell batteries in the terminal cavity, observing 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 2.
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 hot
temperatures, the more likely battery life will be negatively affected. Factors such as the age and initial quality of
a battery also may come into play.
OPEN
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
transmitter.

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.
 Note: Change batteries soon after the first low battery warning to ensure continued reliable
operation. Cervis, Inc. recommends keeping fresh spare batteries on hand at all times that
the system is in use. The console box transmitter senses when the voltage is at the low
power threshold—approximately 2.2V—at which time, the red battery LED periodically
flashes, warning the operator to change the batteries soon. The warning flashes while the
unit is in use either until you replace the batteries or until the voltage drops below 2.0V, after
which the unit automatically powers down (auto-shutdown). The unit will not power up and
operate until you replace the depleted batteries. Cervis, Inc. recommends replacing them with
two fresh batteries.
2.3 Neck/Shoulder Harness
The 1¾" wide neck/shoulder harness lets you conveniently and comfortably strap the CB-9X
around your neck or shoulder for easy access and operation. Adjustable to lengths up to 60
inches (~1.5m), the harness conforms to most body lengths; and its rugged, heavy-duty
construction and quick-release fasteners keep a single CB-9X securely against your body. Plus,
its polypropylene webbing resists wear, and its bright orange color gives it high visibility against
even the lightest colored garments.
2.3.1 Adjusting the Harness
Before you attach the harness to your CB-9X, adjust the blue strap to the most comfortable
operating length for your individual body type.

Warrior CB-9X Console Box Transmitters

The harness’ left strap features a 6" (152mm) long quick release hook-and-loop Nylon rip cord.
Connect the two parts of the rip cord together, and press down to secure the connection.
2.3.2 Attaching the Harness to the CB-9X
Both ends of the high-visibility orange straps feature a pair of heavy-duty metal button snaps at
the ends.

2019 Cervis, Inc.
7
To attach the harness to your CB-9X, locate either the two T-shaped harness clips on the front
of your CB—one is on the left side; the other is on the right—or the orange bar across the top of
it.
Thread the high visibility orange straps through the harness mounts or bar—snap side up—past
the first two (female) snaps.

2.5 Turn CB-9X Transmitter Off
Shut down the console box transmitter via any of the following methods:
Push the STOP button down for immediate stop.
Do not activate any switch and wait for the console box Switch Inactivity Timeout to expire
(standard is four minutes).
Turn the keyswitch (S18) to the OFF position.
2.6 Associate CB-9X with the System Receiver
The CB-9X system transmitter must be associated (communications link established) with a
system receiver before the system can be used. The CB-9X stores the target receiver ID
following successful association with a chosen receiver. Systems are associated at Cervis, Inc.
before leaving the factory; but there may be times when it is necessary to associate while in the
field.
Use the associate process described in the following steps to associate a receiver with the CB-
9X transmitter when needed.
Associate with Receiver (Figure 4)
1. With the Console Box OFF, turn the keyswitch (S18) to the ON position.
2. Press the Horn/Start pushbutton (switch S12) to wake the transmitter.
3. Within 2 seconds after pushing the pushbutton, cycle the STOP Switch
(transition from OFF to ON).
4. The BLED lights for about 1.5 seconds after cycling the STOP Switch. While
this LED is active (ON), enter Maintenance Mode by simultaneously moving
switches S13 and S14 DOWN for approximately one second.
 Note: Restart the process if you wait too long to perform this operation.
The LEDs cycle from bottom to top, indicating that the console box is in
Maintenance Mode.
5. Simultaneously lift and hold switches S13 and S14 UP for five seconds to enter
Association Mode. Release both switches when LED Astarts to blink.
6. While in Association Mode, the Band RF LEDs light solid, indicating that the
console box is attempting to locate any available receivers it can Link to.

Warrior CB-9X Console Box Transmitters
U103.1.0
12
7. The Aand RF LEDs light solid when the console box has completed its search
for available receivers. You can now pick which receiver to link to.
8. A found receiver starts to pulse its Associate Relay. (Wire this relay to an
external indicating device—such as a light or horn—when installing). This alerts
you that the indicated receiver is ready for association. Momentarily lift switch
S13 (NEXT) UP to bypass the indicated receiver. To select that receiver,
momentarily lift switch S14 (SELECT) UP.
9. Press the Horn/Start pushbutton (switch S12)again to pull in the MLC relays.
Once a receiver is selected and the MLC relays are energized, the CB-9X is now linked to that
receiver, and you can run the crane.
 Notes:
Each new system’s transmitters are factory associated before being shipped.
If you purchase a spare transmitter, you will need to associate it yourself before it will work
with that system.
Each transmitter must be associated one time. Once associated with a receiver, that
transmitter will work with that receiver until you clear the receiver ID. (See Section 2.7.)
The transmitter works in a first-come/first-serve basis, where only one transmitter unit can
ever be paired to a receiver unit at a time.

2.7 Clearing CB-9X Stored Receiver ID (Factory Reset)
The CB-9X transmitter stores the associated receiver ID. It may become necessary during
instances of severe interference—or perhaps when troubleshooting—to break the established
communications link between the console box transmitter and the system receiver. This is called
“clearing the ID”or “Factory Reset.”Use the following steps to clear the ID.
Clear the Stored Receiver ID (Factory Reset)
1. With the console box OFF, turn the keyswitch S18 to the ON position.
2. Momentarily press the Horn/Start pushbutton (S12) to wake the transmitter.
 Note: Perform the next step within two seconds. Otherwise, you must restart the
process.
3. Cycle (transition from OFF to ON) the Stop Switch.
4. LED Bwill illuminate for about 1.5 seconds after cycling the stop switch. While
this LED is on, enter Maintenance Mode by simultaneously moving and holding
switches S13 and S14 down until the LEDs cycle from bottom to top, indicating
that the CB is in maintenance mode.
5. While in maintenance mode, simultaneously hold switches S13 and S14 Down.
Press the Stop Switch while holding the switches down.
 Notes:
When a transmitter is not associated with a receiver, the transmitter lights all the LEDs and
then powers down shortly after being turned on.
The receiver does not need to be on when clearing an ID from the transmitter.
