Each handheld must first establish a communications link with the base unit before the base unit will recognize the handheld unit. This process is called Association. 1.4.1 Handheld Base Unit Association Handheld Base Unit Association is established using the following steps:
1. Remove power from the base unit. 2. Stand near the base unit in line of sight with the handheld in your hand. 3. Simultaneously press and hold the Association and Disassociation buttons (see Figure 5). The TX LED glows steady green. ASSOCIATE to base unit. TX Flashes Green while transmitting RX Flashes Red while receiving Amber while linking Output ID

Continue to hold both buttons for the five seconds it takes for the LINK LED to begin flashing amber. 5. When the LINK LED flashes amber, release the two buttons. The RX LED flashes red allowing two (2) seconds for you to make the next button press. Note: If the next button press is not performed within the two second interval that RX flashes red, the Association procedure is aborted and must be started anew to establish the communication link. 4 U024.2-SmaRT_206_SYS-R Remote Control System 6. Press and hold the Association button (see Figure 5 below). The RX extinguishes, the TX glows steady green, and the LINK LED glows steady amber. 7. Apply power to the base unit while continuing to hold the Association button. The base unit and handheld begin Association to establish a communication link. Once the process is complete, the amber LINK LED extinguishes, the RX begins flashing red, and the TX glows steady green and remains so until the Association button is released. 8. Release the Association button. The RX LED extinguishes, the TX LED flashes green for a brief time and then it too goes out. The SmaRT 206 System is ready for use with that particular handheld remote. 1.4.2 Handheld Base Unit Disassociation In some circumstances it may become necessary to break the communication link between a handheld and a base unit. The Disassociation procedure is almost identical to the Association procedure, except the Disassociation button is used and held throughout the process instead of the Association button. CAUTION Completion of the following steps will break all previously established handheld remote links. It will be necessary to perform the Association Procedure (1.4.1 above) using each handheld to re-
establish communication links with the base unit. 1. Remove power from the base unit. 2. Stand near the base unit in line of sight with the handheld in your hand. 3. Press and hold both the Associate and Disassociate buttons (see Figure 5). TX glows steady green. 4. Continue to hold both buttons for the five seconds it takes for the LINK LED to begin flashing amber. 5. When LINK flashes amber, release the two buttons. The RX button flashes red allowing two (2) seconds for you to make the next button press. Note: If the next button press is not performed within the two second interval that RX flashes red, the procedure is aborted and must be started anew to establish the Association. 6. Press and hold the Disassociation button. (See Figure 5 above.) The RX extinguishes, the TX glows steady green, and the LINK LED glows steady amber. 7. Apply power to the base unit while continuing to hold the Disassociate button. The base unit and all previously linked handhelds begin to Disassociate communication links. Once the Disassociation is complete, the amber LINK led extinguishes, the RX begins flashing red, and the TX glows steady green and remains so until the button is released. 2008 Cervis, Inc. 5 SmaRT 206 8. Release the Disassociate button. The RX LED extinguishes, the TX LED flashes green for a brief time and then it too extinguishes. The SmaRT BU-206F Base Unit will not communicate with any handheld remote units. A handheld remote must use the Association Procedure (1.4.1) to re-establish a communication link with the base unit. 2.0 Handheld Battery Installation or Change The SmaRT handheld unit is powered by three size AAA 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. Remove the four small Phillips screws from the Battery Compartment cover and lift the cover from the handheld. 2. If installing batteries in an empty battery compartment, install three fresh size AAA batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 6 below. If replacing expired batteries, remove the old batteries and install three fresh size AAA batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 6 below. 3. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the four Phillips screws. These screws should not be over-tightened, but they should be tight enough to assure the gasket provides a proper seal. Cover Screw Sealing Gasket Figure 6. Handheld Battery Installation Note: Cover screws must be tightened enough to assure the gasket is compressed. Do not over-tighten the screws. CAUTION Be sure to observe proper polarity when placing batteries in the handheld battery compartment. Proper polarity for each battery is embossed in the battery compartment. 6 U024.2-SmaRT_206_SYS-R Remote Control System 3.0 Base Unit Installation CAUTION Make sure the machine on which the base unit is to be attached is disabled during installation.

PTO buttons 1 and 2 have dual functions as described in Figure 11. ASSOCIATE to base unit TX Output 1 RX Output 3 LINK Output 5 DISASSOCIATE from base unit Output 2 Output 4 Output 6 Figure 11. PTO-206 Front Panel 2008 Cervis, Inc. 9 5.0 System Operation SmaRT 206 The PTO-206 Handheld Remote buttons are push-to-operate only. Each button is dedicated to its assigned, hardwired BU-206F output driven by the base unit. The output is only controlled when the appropriate button is pressed and held. Once the button is released, the BU-206F output under control stops, and the BU-206F waits for the next command sent by the PTO-206. The following instructions outline what is needed for use of and how to use the SmaRT 206 Remote Control System. 5.1 Initial Use Instructions Note: You must be line of sight and within 300 ft. (100m) of the base unit while holding the handheld. Note: Each BU-206F can establish communication links with as many as eight (8) different PTO remote units. Association for each PTO remote used must be individually established. CAUTION Be aware that using the Disassociation Procedure (Heading 1.4.2) will break all previously established handheld remote links. Once PTO remote base unit links are broken, it will be necessary to perform the Association Procedure (Heading 1.4.1) using each handheld to re-
establish communication links with the base unit before the 206 Remote Control System can be used. 1. Verify the HN-1001 harness connections with the controlled devices are correct and that the wiring harness is firmly plugged into the BU-206F base unit. 2. Communication between the remote handheld and base unit must be established (Heading 1.4.1). Remove power from the BU-206F. 3. Stand near the base unit with the remote in hand. 4. Press and hold both Button 1 and Button 2, the top two buttons (the Association and Disassociation buttons). The TX LED glows steady green. Continue to hold both buttons until the LINK LED begins to flash amber. 5. Release the two buttons. The RX LED flashes red for about two seconds. You must perform the next step within this two second period or the Association process is aborted. 6. Press and hold the Association buttonButton 1. The RX LED goes out, the TX LED glows steady green, and the LINK LED glows steady amber. 7. Apply power to the base unit while continuing to hold Button 1
(Association). The BU-206F and PTO-206 exchange information establishing the communication link. Upon process completion, the amber LINK LED goes out, the red RX LED begins flashing, and the TX LED glows steady green. 10 U024.2-SmaRT_206_SYS-R Remote Control System 8. Release Button 1. The RX LED goes out, the TX LED briefly flashes green, and then it goes out. 9. Test that each push-to-operate (PTO) button operates the output to which it is assigned. When a PTO button is pressed, its assigned base unit output is active and the base unit Out LED should glow green for as long as the output is active. When the PTO button is released, the output becomes inactive, and the base unit Out LED goes out. Once PTO button to base unit output verification is complete, the SmaRT 206 System is ready for use. 2008 Cervis, Inc. 11 SmaRT 206 6.0 Specifications 6.1 PTO-206 Handheld Remote Table 1 - Handheld Specifications Item Power Environment Radio Enclosure Indicators Control Functions 12
