The Luke Hadley Foundation was created to improve the quality of life for medically fragile children by giving them reasons to smile. Our mission is being achieved through the work we do with organizations that care for these amazing children. We currently have a strong relationship with The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh and the Child Life Department within Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The Luke Hadley Foundation is enriching the lives of the children cared for by these organizations by providing them with toys, activities, equipment, programs, and field trips.

Cervis uses flexible SmaRT wireless technolgy to solve customer’s problem.

Cervis received a call late on Tuesday the week before the World of Concrete trade show for Sidewalk Grading Systems. Sidewalk Grading Systems manufactures an attachment to backhoes used to simplify the grading of earth along sidewalks during construction. The problem was that the attachment is often detached from the machine and running wiring from the in CAB switches and joystick were commonly compromised by being in the open environment. The problem was solved quickly by using Cervis’ SmaRT wireless base units. One wireless device was mounted in the CAB of the machine and monitored switch inputs to be transmitted wirelessly to the other wireless base unit mounted on the attachment. The attachment base unit received power from batteries and provided outputs pursuant to the switch inputs in the CAN to drive the attachment valves coils. “We were able to listen to the customers requirements and problems and apply our flexible SmaRT wireless base units as wireless contact monitors to drive valves on the attachment. The most impressive thing to the customer was our simple, quick response to get him a solution in only three days for delivery to the World of Concrete trade show so he could improve the exhibition of his machine. ” says Kevin Hadley of Cervis. With such a successful initial installation the customer has already begun discussion of increasing the requirements to include transmission of sensor inputs to continue the wireless concept that has pushed this machine to the forfront of wireless machine technology.

Removable EEPROM Modules

admin — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:25:47 +0000

The removable EEPROM feature of our controls sets Cervis apart from other controls. This allows you to have one transmitter to spare an unlimited number of like systems simply by transferring the EEPROM from one transmitter to another like transmitter. This virtually eliminates down time and the need for multiple spare transmitters.

Both the transmitter and receiver have duplicate copies of EEPROM so in the case when a transmitter is lost or the transmitters EEPROM is destroyed, the spare transmitter can copy the receivers EEPROM.

Crane Controls – Range Limitation

admin — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:36:20 +0000

Cervis TM60 radio remote crane control systems can be equipped with a range limitation option. This option will prohibit the system from being operated outside a working area defined by the LA60 Infrared transmitter. The system must have a LINE-OF-SIGHT between the operator and the LA60.

If the operator becomes temporarily shielded from the Range Limiter device(s), the system is engineered to be flexible in order to continue operation and facilitate the operators movements for a factory set period of 4 seconds. This time can be adjusted up or down at the factory, depending on customer specification. The overall design of the system is to ensure the operator is within a safe working distance from the crane while simultaneously permitting normal work related movements of the operator.

The system consists of one or more LA60 Infrared transmitters. The LA60 can be installed in a fixed position or on the controlled crane and oriented in such a way that they cover the targeted working zone. Range Limited TM60 RF transmitters contain an Infrared sensor which receives the information emitted from the LA60 transmitter. This information is analysed by transmitter microprocessor and acts as a permissive. If the transmitter does not receive the infrared data within a pre-determined amount of time (factory setting is 4 seconds) the outputs are deactivated.
