The BU-x16F base unit has sixteen solid state field effect transistor (FET) channels. System configuration is extended as the input/output (I/O) can also be custom-configured by Cervis Engineering to be inputs or outputs.
SmaRT 218, 918 2.0 SmaRT x18 18-Button Handheld Remote Control The SmaRT™ x18 18-Button Handheld Remote is designed for traditional and non-traditional mobile applications capable of activating and deactivating SmaRT base unit input/outputs. The handheld remote permits single-handed operation in a comfortable, ergonomic layout. Using direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) wireless technology at the 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz (system-dependent) range to communicate, the SmaRT 18-button handheld remote creates a robust link with a base unit in congested radio environments.
2.2 SmaRT x18 Handheld Battery Installation The handheld remote operates between 1.6 to 3.2 VDC powered by four factory installed 1.5 V “AA” cell batteries. Cervis, Inc. recommends having fresh spare batteries on hand at all times that the system is in use.
SmaRT 218, 918 3.0 SmaRT x18 Operation Turn ON the Unit Power the remote ON by pressing the Green-and-White ON button Turn OFF the Unit Turned OFF the remote by pressing the Red-and-White OFF button Buttons 1 through 16 Buttons 1 through 16 are used to control the base unit. These buttons are typically mapped to specific base unit outputs/inputs M1 through M16 as shown below.
The SmaRT™ BU-x16F features 16 field effect transistors (FETs), high side switching outputs, or switch-to-ground digital inputs. Cervis, Inc. can customize the versatile, programmable digital inputs to fit specific user applications. The BU-x16F accepts a broad range of input power with operating voltages ranging from 7 VDC to 32 VDC.
When mounting the base unit and connecting the wiring harnesses, use the configuration diagrams Cervis, Inc. supplied as a guide. Figure 7 illustrates dimensions for drilling mounting holes. Figure 8 illustrates the wiring harness connections.
