interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with Canadian RSS-210.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits
for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website https://www.canada.ca/en/health-
canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/reports-publications/radiation/safety-code-6-health-canada-radiofrequency-exposure-guidelinesenvironmental-workplace-health-health-canada.html.
Le présent appareil est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada.
Le programme d’installation de cet équipement radio doit s’assurer que l’antenne est située ou fait telle qu’elle n’émet pas de champ RF dépassant les
limites de Santé Canada pour la population générale ; consulter le Code de sécurité 6, disponible auprès de Santé Canada site Web

IC 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.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou
inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs,
il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Part 2: This radio transmitter (LOBSRF-305 or LOBSRF-309) 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.
Le présent émetteur radio (LOBSRF-305 ou LOBSRF-309) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés cidessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le
gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

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 system failure, equipment damage, and
intermittent operation.
✓ 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 proper 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 remote control system until certain that it is safe to do so.
✓ Turn off the handheld remote and remove power from the base unit before attempting
any maintenance. This will prevent accidental operation of the controlled machinery.
✓ Remove power from the base unit either by detaching the 12-pin cables from the
enclosure or by removing the source power from the base unit circuit.
✓ 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 handheld or base unit enclosures. Do not use high-
pressure equipment to clean the handheld remote or base unit.
✓ Disconnect the radio base unit before welding on the machine. Failure to disconnect
the base unit may cause destruction of or damage to the base unit.
✓ Operate and store units only within the specified operation and storage temperatures
defined in this document’s specifications.
✓ Keep high-energy radio frequency (RF) devices away from handheld remotes.
Activating high-power communication radios, for instance, in close proximity to
handheld remotes can cause interference and “false” circuit activation.
✓ Do not key two-way radios while using the console box remote.
✓
Note: A SmaRT handheld remote’s operating frequency is in either the 2.4 GHz or 900 MHz
range. The first number in the system or device name indicates the operating frequency. For
instance, a SmaRT CB-xH (console box) handheld remote in this document may either be
CB-2H12LV or CB-9H12JS (or some variation of levers [LV] and joysticks [JS]), where “2”
indicates 2.4 GHz and “9” indicates 900 MHz operating frequency. As such, references to the
handheld remote, base unit, or system in this manual may use “x” rather than “2” or “9” in the
name to indicate the operating frequency.

1.0 SmaRT Console Box CB-xH Remote Introduction
The SmaRT Console Box (CB) wireless family of remote controllers communicate with and
control SmaRT Base Unit (BU) receivers using either 900 MHz (906–924 MHz) or 2.4 GHz
(2405–2480 MHz) frequency ranges. Using line-of-sight Channel-Hopping Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (CH DSSS) technology, either broadcast frequency offers a generous control
distance in congested radio environments. The rugged enclosure and water-resistant
components ensure reliable operation in harsh weather environments—operating in
temperatures as low as –20° C to a maximum of 55° C (–4° F to 131° F)—allowing the unit to
operate worry free in harsh weather conditions.
The SmaRT Console Box is designed for traditional and non-traditional mobile applications.
Capable of activating and deactivating the input and outputs of SmaRT base units (either
standard or enlarged sizes), the CB remote’s ergonomic layout offers comfortable SmaRT
system operation. The SmaRT CB-xH also offers a variety of joystick and switch options—
several of which are illustrated in Figure 1—that are factory configured to order. The controllers
provide a robust link with SmaRT base units in congested radio environments, allowing
seamless association without the need to open the enclosures to establish a link.
