Industry Canada Unlicensed Devices EIRP Statements for Removable Antennas
Part 1: Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Partie 1 : Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut fonctionner qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal
(ou inférieur) sont approuvés pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les interférences radioélectriques potentielles avec d'autres utilisateurs, le
type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de telle sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soit pas supérieure à celle
nécessaire pour une communication réussie.
Part 2: This radio transmitter (LOBSRF-310) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna type listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Partie 2 : Cet émetteur radio (LOBSRF-310) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec le type d'antenne indiqué ci-dessous avec le gain
maximal admissible et l'impédance d'antenne requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Il est strictement interdit d'utiliser avec cet appareil un type

Cervis, Inc. Safety Precautions
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 intermittent operation, equipment
damage, and system failure.
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 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 transmitter control system until you are certain that it is safe to do so.
Turn off the transmitter and disconnect power from the receiver before attempting
any maintenance. This will prevent accidental operation of the controlled machinery.
Disconnect power from the receiver by either detaching the cable from the receiver or
removing the source power from the receiver.
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 transmitter or receiver enclosures. Do not use high-
pressure equipment to clean the transmitter or receiver.
Disconnect the receiver before welding on the connected machinery. Failure to
disconnect the receiver may cause destruction of or damage to the receiver.
Operate and store units only within the specified operating and storage temperatures
defined in this document’s specifications.
Keep high-energy radio frequency (RF) devices away from transmitters. Activating
high-power communication radios, for instance, close to transmitters can cause
interference and “false” circuit activation.
Do not key two-way radios while using the console box transmitter.
 Note: Refer to the custom drawing package provided with each job for specific details not

1.0 Warrior CB-xW Transmitter Introduction
The Warrior CB-xW transmitter works in conjunction with any Warrior receiver—including the
MU-x6E and MU-9x15—to control cranes, machines, locomotives, trucks, and other industrial
equipment. Housed in an extremely durable, sealed, glass-filled nylon enclosure, the Warrior
CB-xW transmitter is ready for duty in harsh environments, including outdoor applications.
Warrior systems operate in the 900MHz United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Part 15 License-Free radio band. The system uses continuously monitored bi-directional
radio transmissions, where the receiver acknowledges each message the transmitter sends via
its own acknowledge message. Four transmitter diagnostic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate:
Radio transmission integrity
Battery life
A/B select feedback to the operator (two LEDs)
(For more information on Warrior receivers, see their respective manuals.)
1.1 Features
Up to six single-axis, bi-directional levers; or up to four bi-directional joysticks
Options for toggles, potentiometers, pushbuttons, and rotary switches for auxiliary
functions
900MHz @ 100mW FCC Part 15 license-free operation
Four standard system status/diagnostic LEDs
Operates using two type “C” cell batteries
Pull-Up Stop switch
On/off keyswitch (optional –usually on the right-hand side)
Neck/shoulder harness standard; optional belt mounting
Optional eight-character LED display
Unsurpassed durability and environmental sealing

2.2 Warrior CB-xW Battery Installation and Replacement
The Warrior CB-xW 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 operating hours
1
before it becomes necessary to replace the batteries.
To Replace Batteries:
Observe proper polarity when placing batteries into the battery
compartment. Improper battery placement can cause excessive heat,
battery explosion, operator injury, and transmitter damage.
1. Before proceeding, press the STOP button DOWN to cut transmitter power.
2. Remove the battery cover by twisting it counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the discharged batteries and properly dispose according to local
regulations.
4. Place two new “C” cell batteries in the terminal cavity. Observe proper polarity,
with the negative side (-) down and each positive battery terminal up. The battery
cap interior has the positive polarity marking (+) cut into it, as illustrated in Figure
2.
Figure 2. Warrior CB-xW Console Box Battery Installation
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 gasket seal
embedded in the cap.

At room temperature. Usage alone does not affect battery life; so does operating or storing the battery in too-
high or too-low ambient temperatures. For instance, the longer you expose batteries to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the more likely it will negatively affect battery life. Factors such as battery age and initial quality
may also come into play.

 Notes:
Do not overtighten the battery cap or you could damage it.
To ensure continued reliable operation, change batteries soon after the first low battery
warning. Cervis, Inc. recommends having fresh spare batteries on hand at all times that
the system is in use. The transmitter senses when the voltage is at the low-power
threshold—approximately 2.2V—at which time, the red Battery LED periodically flashes
to warn you to change the batteries soon. The warning flashes while the unit is in use
either until you replace the batteries or 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-xW
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-xW 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-xW, adjust the blue strap to the most comfortable
operating length for your individual body type.

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-xW
Both ends of the high-visibility orange straps feature a pair of heavy-duty metal button snaps at
the ends.
