Configurable Node with an integrated battery, 1 selectable counter input, 1 selectable discrete input, and 1 discrete NMOS output
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 one selectable discrete input, one selectable counter input
(rate or event; sinking, sourcing, or self-energized), and one NMOS discrete output
• User selectable 10 kHz event counter or 25 kHz rate counter
• FlexPower® technology driven by one lithium primary battery integrated into the housing
• DIP switches for user configuration
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) control architecture ensure reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial, Scien-
tific, 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

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-

Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps:
1. Configure the DIP switches of all devices.
2. Connect the sensors to the SureCross devices.
3. Apply power to all devices.
