Sure Cross® Performance Node with I/O

Mapping

Datasheet
The Sure Cross® 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.

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.

CAUTION: Never Operate 1 Watt Radios Without Antennas

To avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never power up Sure Cross®

Performance or Sure Cross MultiHop (1 Watt) radios without an antenna.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

ESD Sensitive Device. This product uses semiconductors that can be

damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When performing maintenance,
care must be taken so the device is not damaged. Disconnect power from
the device when accessing the internal DIP switches. Proper handling
procedures include wearing anti-static wrist straps. Damage from
inappropriate handling is not covered by warranty.

Configuration Instructions

Configure the DIP Switches

Before making any changes to the DIP switch positions, disconnect the power. DIP switch changes will not be recognized if
power isn't cycled to the device.

Accessing the Internal DIP Switches

To access the internal DIP switches, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the four screws that mount the cover to the bottom housing.
2. Remove the cover from the housing without damaging the ribbon cable or the pins the cable plugs into.
3. Gently unplug the ribbon cable from the board mounted into the bottom housing.

4. Remove the black cover plate from the bottom of the device's cover.
The DIP switches are located behind the rotary dials.

After making the necessary changes to the DIP switches, place the black cover plate back into
position and gently push into place. Plug the ribbon cable in after verifying that the blocked hole
lines up with the missing pin. Mount the cover back onto the housing.

Analog Input and Output Scale

Use the DIP switch to select which current scale to use for all the device's analog inputs and outputs: 0 to 20 mA or 4 to
20 mA. When using a 4-20 mA sensor with a 0-20 mA input, the sensor uses the 4-20 mA section of the total range. Using
a 4-20 mA with a 0-20 mA input allows you to determine when you have an error condition with the sensor. A normal
input reading between 4 and 20 mA indicates a functioning sensor whereas a value below 4 mA indicates an error
condition, such as a broken wire or loose connection. This DIP switch is used only on the 0 to 20 mA models, not the 0 to
10V models.

Discrete Input Type

Select the type of discrete input sensors to use with this device: sourcing (PNP) sensors or sinking (NPN) sensors.

Link Loss Outputs

The SureCross DX80 wireless devices use a deterministic radio link time-out method to address RF link interruption or
failure. When a radio link fails, all pertinent wired outputs are sent to defined states until the link is recovered, ensuring
that disruptions in the communications link result in predictable system behavior.
Following a radio link time-out, all outputs linked to the Node in question are set to de-energize (discrete outputs to zero,
analog outputs to 0 mA or 4 mA), energize (discrete outputs to one, analog outputs to 20 mA), or to hold the last stable
state/value. Use the DIP switches to select the link loss output state.

Modbus/User Configuration Tool (UCT) or DIP Switch Configured

In Modbus/UCT Configured mode, the device parameters are changed using the User Configuration Tool (UCT) or a Modbus
command. All DIP switch positions are ignored. In DIP Switch Configured mode, use the DIP switches to configure the
parameters listed in the table.

Transmit Power Levels

The 900 MHz radios can be operated at 1 watt (30 dBm) or 250 mW (24 dBm). While the Performance radios operate in 1
Watt mode, they cannot communicate with the older 150 mW radios. To communicate with the older 150 mW radios,
operate this radio in 250 mW mode. For 2.4 GHz models, this DIP switch is disabled. The transmit power for 2.4 GHz is
fixed at about 65 mW EIRP (18 dBm), making the 2.4 GHz Performance models automatically compatible with older 2.4
GHz models.

Wiring Your Sure Cross® Device

Use the following wiring diagrams to first wire the sensors and then apply power to the Sure Cross devices.

Connecting dc power to the communication pins will cause permanent damage. For the DX8x...C models, PWR in the
wiring diagram refers to V+ on the wiring board and GND in the wiring diagram refers to V- on the wiring board.
Do not exceed analog input ratings for analog inputs. Only connect sensor outputs to analog inputs.
To power the sensor using the switch power output (SPx), replace the PWR with SPx in these wiring diagrams.
Refer to the Class I Division 2/Zone 2 control drawings (p/n 143086) for wiring specifications or limitations.

Bind Radios to Form Networks

Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to.
Apply power to the Gateway and the Node you are binding.
1. To enter binding mode on the Gateway, triple-click button 2.
The red LEDs flash alternately when the Gateway is in binding mode. Any Node entering binding mode will bind to this
Gateway.

2. To enter binding mode on the Node, triple-click button 2.

The Node enters binding mode and locates the Gateway in binding mode. The red LEDs flash alternately. The Node
automatically exits binding mode. After the Node is bound, the LEDs are both solid red for a few seconds. The Node
cycles its power, then enters Run mode.
3. Use both of the Node's rotary dials to assign the Node Address defined in the Gateway's datasheet.
The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of
the Node Address. For the pre-mapped kits, the Node's rotary dials must be set based on the mapping defined by the
Gateway. For more information, refer to the mapping tables in the MAPIO Menu section of the Gateway's datasheet.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all Nodes that need to communicate to this Gateway.
5. Exit binding mode on the Gateway by single-clicking either button 1 or button 2.

LED Behavior for the Nodes

Nodes do not sample inputs until they are communicating with the Gateway. The radios and antennas must be a minimum
distance apart to function properly. Recommended minimum distances are:
2.4 GHz 65 mW radios: 1 foot
900 MHz 150 mW and 250 mW radios: 6 feet
900 MHz 1 Watt radios: 15 feet

Warnings
Install and properly ground a qualified surge suppressor when installing a remote antenna system. Remote antenna configurations installed without surge
suppressors invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. Keep the ground wire as short as possible and make all ground connections to a single-point ground system to ensure no
ground loops are created. No surge suppressor can absorb all lightning strikes; do not touch the Sure Cross® device or any equipment connected to the Sure Cross device
during a thunderstorm.
