Cervis, Inc. Safety Precautions
Read and follow all instructions.
Failure to abide by Safety Precautions may result in 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 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 a base unit either by detaching the 12-pin cable(s) from the base
unit connectors or by removing the source power from the circuit.
Use a damp cloth to keep units clean. Remove mud, concrete, dirt, etc. after use to
prevent obstructing or clogging the buttons, 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 handheld remote.

1.0 Introduction
This manual guides users in the SmaRT™ Mini Console Box Remote’s (commonly referred to as
the “MCB”) general use and practices. Because of the extensive amount of options available and
the numerous possible standard and custom configurations, creating a single general user
manual that includes all possible configurations is impractical. However, this manual describes
standard configuration features including:
Switch and joystick positions.
Common procedure for setting up the communications link between remotes and base
units (Associate).
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) joystick/potentiometer calibrations.
The standard MCB switch and joystick options include those illustrated with the example in
Figure 1.
Note: Documents included with the SmaRT system when it is sent to you include an MCB’s
specific operational details.

SmaRT MCBs communicate with and control a variety of SmaRT base units in either the
900MHz or 2.4GHz frequency ranges. MCB frequency range options are:
906–924MHz @ 10mW (900MHz)
2405–2480 MHz @ 100mW (2.4GHz)
Using line-of-sight Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology, both broadcast
ranges offer a generous control distance in crowded radio environments. Plus, neither broadcast
range requires a license for use. The rugged enclosure and water-resistant components ensure
reliable operation in harsh weather environments and temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) and
as high as 55°C (131°F). Standard SmaRT mini console boxes broadcast using an internal
antenna. You can also connect a Control Area Network (CAN) Bus umbilical cable to a base unit
when the MCB is engineered to do so. Users receive setup and operation status via a bank of
four Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
Custom Versatility
The SmaRT Mini Console Box offers a variety of factory configured joystick and switch options.
Joystick choices range from one to four single or dual-axis bi-directional (per plane of operation)
joysticks for digital or proportional control. The MCB can have up to five (5) toggle switches with
the possibility of six toggle switches at the expense of a joystick position. As previously
mentioned, Cervis, Inc. also offers the choice of a CAN communication connector for use with an
umbilical cable for backup control.
MCB (Mini Console Box) Features
Four Dual- or Single-Axis Joysticks for Proportional or Digital Control
Five Toggles or Optional Button Controls (Custom Optional Six Toggles Available)
900MHz @ 10mW or 2.4GHz @ 100mW Operation
Push/Pull Professional Machine Stop Button
Four System Status/Diagnostic LEDs
CAN Umbilical Connection Available
Operates Using Four AA Cell Batteries
Magnets for Convenient Attachment to Ferrous Surfaces
Belt Loops to Securely Attach to Belt or Harness
Note: When using four joysticks, only three of the four joysticks can be used as dual-axis; the
fourth is limited as a single-axis control function.
