Antenna Warning: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas listed in Table 3 on
p. 57. When integrated into OEM products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users from replacing them
with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed in the tables must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique
antenna connectors), FCC Section 15.247 (emissions), and ISED RSS-Gen Section 6.8.
6.4.2 FCC and ISED Approved Antennas
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices. Antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be collocated
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The radio transmitter modules DX80-2400 and SX243 have been approved by FCC and ISED Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

6.4.3 Exporting Sure Cross

Radios
Exporting Sure Cross
®
Radios. It is our intent to fully comply with all national and regional regulations regarding radio frequency emissions. Customers who want to re-export
this product to a country other than that to which it was sold must ensure the device is approved in the destination country. The Sure Cross wireless products were certified
for use in these countries using the antenna that ships with the product. When using other antennas, verify you are not exceeding the transmit power levels allowed by local
governing agencies. This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed on Banner Engineering’s website and having a maximum gain of 9 dBm. Antennas not
included in this list or having a gain greater that 9 dBm are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen such that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for
successful communication. Consult with Banner Engineering Corp. if the destination country is not on this list.
6.5 Glossary of Wireless Terminology
This
definitions list contains a library of common definitions and glossary terms specific to the Wireless products.
active threshold An active threshold is a trigger point or reporting threshold for an analog input.
a/d converter An analog to digital converter converts varying sinusoidal signals from instruments into binary code for a
computer.
address mode
The Sure Cross
®
wireless devices may use one of two types of addressing modes: rotary dial
addressing or extended addressing. In rotary dial address mode, the left rotary dial establishes the
network ID (NID) and the right rotary dial sets the device address. Extended address mode uses a
security code to "bind" Nodes to a specific Gateway. Bound Nodes can only send and receive
information from the Gateway they are bound to.
antenna Antennas transmit radio signals by converting radio frequency electrical currents into electromagnetic
waves. Antennas receive the signals by converting the electromagnetic waves back into radio frequency
electrical currents.
