SmaRT 218, 918 The following applies only to SmaRT 218 18-Button Handheld remote control systems. RoHS Compliance Statement Cervis, Inc. complies with the requirements of Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS/WEEE) Specification based on in-house practice and declaration of compliance from our vendors. For additional information concerning RoHS compliance, please contact Cervis, Inc.
The BU-x16F base unit has sixteen solid state FET channels. System configuration is extended as the 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 the input/outputs of SmaRT base units. The handheld remote is capable of providing single-handed operation in a comfortable ergonomic layout.
2.2 SmaRT OO-x18 Handheld Battery Installation The handheld remote operates between 1.6 to 3.2VDC powered by four factory installed 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Cervis, Inc. recommends that fresh spare batteries be at hand at all times that the system is in use.
SmaRT 218, 918 2.3 Low Battery Warning When low voltage is sensed—approximately 1.7V—the AMBER RX LED will no longer indicate that there is an incoming message. Instead, the LED will begin to flash approximately once per second indicating a Low Battery Warning. Messages are still being received, and the handheld can still be used, but it is recommended that a fresh set of four AA batteries should be installed as soon as possible.
SmaRT 218, 918 4.0 Associate Mode The Associate Mode is used to establish the communications link between the 18-button handheld remote and base unit on a 1-to-1 basis. There must be a clear line of sight between the handheld and the base to associate, and both units must be OFF (powered down).
The SmaRT™ BU-x16F features sixteen FET, high side switching outputs or switch-to- ground digital inputs. The versatile, programmable digital inputs can be customized by Cervis to fit specific user applications. The BU-X16F accepts a broad range of input power with operating voltages ranging from 7VDC to 32VDC. The rugged weatherproof enclosure allows the unit to operate worry free in harsh weather conditions.
Make sure the machine that the base unit is to be installed is disabled during installation. Use the configuration diagrams supplied by Cervis as a guide when mounting the base unit and connecting the wiring harnesses. Dimensions for drilling mounting holes are shown in Figure 8.
