Instruction Manual
Configurable Gateway with discrete inputs, discrete outputs, 0 to 20 mA analog inputs, and 0 to 20 mA analog outputs
The SureCross® wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that can oper-
ate 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 two selectable discrete inputs, two sourcing discrete out-
puts, two 0 to 20 mA analog inputs, and two 0 to 20 mA analog outputs
• 10 to 30V dc power input
• DIP switches for user configuration
• Modbus serial interface
• Site Survey analyzes the network’s signal strength and reliability and displays the results on
the Gateway's LCD
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) control architecture ensure reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial,
Scientific, 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.

and Battery Supply Module
The SureCross® DX80 wireless I/O network provides reliable moni-
toring without wiring or conduit installation. The SureCross wireless
network operates independently or in conjunction with a host system,
PLC, and/or PC software.
Each wireless network system consists of one Gateway and one or
more Nodes. Devices ship with factory-defined discrete, analog, or a
mix of discrete and analog inputs and outputs.
The SureCross® DX80 network is a deterministic system—the net-
work identifies when the radio signal is lost and drives relevant out-
puts to user-defined conditions. After the radio signal is reacquired,
the network returns to normal operation.
SureCross® DX80 Gateways and Nodes
A Gateway is the master device within each radio network. Every wireless network must have one Gateway, which schedules communi-
cation traffic and controls the I/O configuration for the network, and one or more Nodes. Similar to how a gateway device on a wired
network acts as a “portal” between networks, the SureCross Gateway acts as the portal between the wireless network and the host
controller. When the Gateway, using its Modbus RTU RS-485 connection, is a Modbus slave to a Modbus RTU host controller, the wire-
