1.4 Handheld ↔ Base Unit Communication
A standard SmaRT 206 System comes with one PTO-206 Handheld Remote and one
BU-206F Base Unit, but each BU-206F is capable of communicating with up to eight
PTO-206 Handheld Remotes. 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.
Figure 5. Handheld PTO Front Panel
4. 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.

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.

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.
Figure 6. Handheld Battery Installation
Note: Cover screws must be tightened enough to assure the gasket is compressed.
Do not over-tighten the screws.

5.0 System Operation
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 button—Button 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.
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.
