The SureCross® wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that can operate in
most environments and eliminate the need for wiring runs. Wireless networks are formed around a
Gateway, which acts as the wireless network master device, and one or more Nodes.
• Wireless industrial I/O device with a 1-wire serial interface to handle up to two 1-wire serial sens-
ing devices
• FlexPower® power options allows for +10 to 30V dc, solar, and battery power sources for low
power applications.
• DIP switches for user configuration
• Two switch power outputs provide sensor actuation voltage of 3.6V dc (battery powered) or 4.3V
dc (10 to 30V dc powered)
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) control architecture ensure reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial, Scientif-
ic, and Medical (ISM) band
• Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the Gateway and Node, including fully
acknowledged data transmission
• Lost RF links are detected and relevant outputs set to user-defined conditions
• The DX80...C models are certified for use in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C, D; Zone 2 (Cate-
gory 3G) Hazardous Locations when properly installed in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, the Canadian Electrical Code, or applicable local codes/regulations (see Specifications)

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.
SureCross User Configuration Tool
The User Configuration Tool (UCT) offers an easy way to link I/O points in your wire-
less network, view I/O register values graphically, and set system communication pa-
rameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network.
The UCT requires a special USB to RS-485 (model number BWA-UCT-900 for 1 Watt
radios, BWA-HW-006 can be used for all other radios) converter cable to pass infor-
mation between your computer and the Gateway. Download the most recent revi-
sions of the UCT software from Banner Engineering's website: http://www.banneren-
