Introducing the SureCross™ DX80 Wireless System
The SureCross™ DX80 wireless system provides reliable monitoring without the burden
of wiring or conduit installation, and can operate independently or in conjunction with a
PLC and/or PC software.
The SureCross DX80 network is a deterministic system—the network identifies when
the radio signal is lost and drives relevant outputs to user-defined conditions. Once the
radio signal is reacquired, the network returns to normal operation.
Each wireless system consists of one Gateway and one or more Nodes that ship with
factory predefined inputs and outputs. Devices may be all discrete I/O, mixed discrete
and analog I/O, and FlexPower™.
A Gateway device acts as the master device within each radio network system. The
Gateway initiates communication and reporting with the Nodes.
A radio network contains only one Gateway, but can contain many Nodes. Each Node
device can be connected to a sensor or output device and reports I/O status to the
Gateway.
A Gateway and Node can be arranged to extend the range of the network or to avoid
obstacles in the transmission path. The Gateway receives a transmission from one
Node and forwards it to another Node positioned to avoid the obstacle.
Host-connected systems can contain up to 15 nodes within a single network and may
be all discrete or a mix of discrete and analog I/O. Host-connected systems allow for
logic and calculations to be applied to the I/O. Inputs from Nodes within the network
are transmitted to the Gateway, which communicates the information to a host device
for processing. While the Gateway is the master device within the radio network, the
Gateway is a slave to the Modbus network.
FlexPower devices allow for a true wireless solution as the Node can be powered
by line power (10 to 30V dc) or battery power (3.6 to 5.5V dc). A SureCross DX81
battery pack and unique power management system runs the Node and a device for
up to five years, depending upon the power requirements of the device. Battery life is
application specific. Contact Banner Engineering’s application engineers for a battery
life calculation for your specific application.

Quick Start: STEP 1 > Set Network ID & Device/Node Address
The wireless RF network is defined by the Network ID (NID)
assigned to the Gateway and its Nodes. Each device within
this common network must have a unique Device Address
assigned.
For factory configured kits, the Network ID and Device
Addresses have been assigned. Otherwise, use the Rotary
Switches (shown right) to define both the NID and Device
Address for each device. Follow the steps below to set up
your DX80 network.
Remove rotary switch access covers. Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to
tighten
On the Gateway, set the Left Rotary Switch to 1.
The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Set
to another Network ID when operating more than one
network in the same area.
On all Nodes (within the same network), set the Left
Rotary Switch to 1.
Assign the same NID to all devices within a single
network (hexidecimal 0-F).
On the Gateway, set the Right Rotary Switch to 0.
A Device Address of 0 on the Gateway will display
settings for the Gateway itself. To view settings for
another device on the network, adjust the Right Rotary
Switch on the Gateway to the respective Device
Address.
On the first Node (Device Address = 1), set the Right
Rotary Switch to 1.
Do not change the Device ID for preconfigured kits as
this would affect the factory mapping of the I/O.
On the second Node (Device Address = 2), set the Right
Rotary Switch to 2.
Continue setting the Device Address for each additional
Node using a unique number (..3,4,5).
Install rotary switch access covers. Please refer to the
installation section for IP67 instructions.
A successful RF link is identified by a blinking green LED
1 on each node.

Quick Start: STEP 6 > Installation
Ideal Mounting Conditions
Avoid Direct Sunlight
To minimize the damaging effects of
ultra-violet radiation, avoid mounting the
Gateway or Node facing intense direct
sunlight.
Mount the DX80 within a protective
enclosure,
Mount the DX80 under an overhang or
other source of shade,
Install the DX80 indoors, or
Face the unit north when installing
outside.
Avoid Collecting Rain
When possible, mount the DX80 where
rain or snow will drain away from the unit.
Mount the units vertically so that
precipitation, dust, and dirt do not
accumulate on permeable surfaces.
Avoid mounting the units on flat or
concave surfaces, especially if the
display will be pointing up.
Reduce Chemical Exposure
Before installing the DX80 units in a
chemically harsh environment, contact
Banner for more information regarding the
life-expectancy. Solvents, oxidizing agents,
and other chemicals will damage the DX80.
Minimize Mechanical Stress
While the DX80 is very durable, it is a
sophisticated electronic device that is
sensitive to shock and excessive loading.
Avoid mounting the units to an object
that may be shifting or vibrating
excessively. High levels of static
force or acceleration may damage the
housing or electronic components.
Do not subject the DX80 to external
loads. Do not step on the DX80 or use
it as a handgrip.
Do not allow long lengths of cable to
hang from the DX80 glands. Cabling
heavier than 100 grams should be
supported instead of allowed to hang
from the DX80 housing.

Installation - Weather-Proofing Glands and Plugs
Rotary Switch Access Cover
Check the rotary switch access cover
o-ring every time the access cover is
removed. Replace the o-ring when it is
damaged, discolored, or showing signs of
wear. The o-ring should be:
Seated firmly against the threads
without stretching to fit or without
bulging loosely, and
Pushed against the flanged cover.
When removing or closing the rotary switch
access cover, manually twist the cover
into position. Do not allow cross-threading
between the cover and the DX80 face.
Once the cover is in place and manually
tightened, use a small screwdriver (no
longer than five inches total length) as a
lever to apply enough torque to bring the
rotary switch access cover even with the
DX80 cover surface.
•
•
Watertight 1/2” NPT Plug
Seal the 1/2” NPT port if it is not used. To
install a watertight NPT plug:
Wrap 12 to 16 passes of PTFE
tape evenly across the length of the
threads.
Manually thread the plug into the
housing port until reaching some
resistance.
Using a 9/16” crescent wrench, turn
the plug until all the plug’s threads are
engaged by the housing port.

addition to the serial hookups shown below. The following procedure is necessary to change the Gateway Slave ID, Baud Rate, and
Parity.
Parameter Description
Slave ID (Default = 1) Defines the slave number (01-99) for the serial Modbus RTU protocol. When operating more than one
network with a Modbus Master device, change the Slave IDs.
Baud Rate (Default = 19200) Defines communication data rate (19.2, 38.4 or 9.6 kbps) between the Gateway and the Host through the
serial interface.
Parity (Default = None) Defines serial parity (none, even, or odd) between Gateway and Host.

RF Link Time-Out and Recovery
The SureCross™ DX80 wireless devices employ a deterministic link time-out method to address RF link interruption or failure. As
soon as a specific Node/Gateway RF link fails, all pertinent wired outputs are de-energized until the link is recovered (see component
data sheet for more information.) Through this process, users of Banner wireless networks can be assured that disruptions in the
communications link will result in predictable system behavior.
The link time-out feature uses a fully-acknowledged polling method to determine the RF link status of each Node on the network. If after
a specified number of sequential polling cycles the Node does not acknowledge a message, the Gateway considers the link with the
Node timed out. LCD displays on both the Node and Gateway show *ERROR. Following a time-out, the Node de-energizes outputs and
the Gateway sets all outputs linked to the Node in question to a de-energized state. Inputs from the Nodes are mapped to outputs on
the Gateway and are suspended during a link timeout.
Once a link has failed, the Gateway must receive a specified number of good RF communications packets from the Node in question
before the link is reinstated. Outputs are restored to current values when the link is recovered.
For information regarding Host-connected systems and link time-out and recover, please refer to Banner’s DX80 and Modbus Guide.
Link between Gateway and Node 1 timed out.

A wireless network can be hindered by radio interference and by obstructions in the path of the receiver and transmitter. To achieve the best radio
performance possible, carefully consider the installation locations for Gateways and Nodes. The need for a clear path increases as the transmission
distance increases. Use Site Survey (RSSI) to confirm signal quality before fixing devices for permanent installation.
Problem Description Possible Solutions
Basic power–up issues
No LEDs, No LCD
display
DX80 devices should immediately display ‘POWER’ on the LCD for the first 5-10 seconds after power is applied.
For the Gateway, LED 1 will always be green when power is connected. The Node devices will flash a red LED 2
every three seconds or a green LED 1 every second depending upon the RF Link status.
Battery powered devices can be put into a power-down mode using button 1 on the front panel. To put a battery
device into power-down mode, hold button 1 for three to five seconds. To make a battery device come out of
power-down mode, hold button 1 for three to five seconds.
Recheck the power connections and power requirements. Line powered devices require 10 to 30V dc. The DX81
Battery Module provides 3.6V dc.
After replacing the battery, allow up to 60 seconds for the device to power up.

DX80 devices will not synchronize
Node flashes the red
LED (no sync)
There are two things that MUST be set on every Node device to make it synchronize with the Gateway device:
1) The Network ID on the Node must match the Gateway Network ID. (0-15)
2) Each node within that network must have the Device ID rotary switch set to a unique number (1-15). Refer to
“Getting Started – Multiple Networks, Setting Network ID”
If the Gateway and Node are less than two meters apart, the devices may not communicate properly (radios may
saturate).
The Gateway and Node may be too far apart to achieve sync – consult factory for options.
A qualified antenna should be mounted on both the Gateway and Node devices.
After any system parameter changes, cycle power to cause the devices to resync with the network.
If a Node device loses synchronization with the network, it is programmed to try to acquire sync for five seconds,
then sleep for 15 seconds. Synchronizing may require up to 20 seconds.
Recycle power on the Gateway and Node devices.

If the distance between devices is greater than about 5,000 meters (3 miles) line-of-sight *OR* objects, such as
trees or man-made obstructions, interfere with the path, and the MISSED packet count exceeds 30 per 100 packets,
consider the following steps:
Raise the DX80 units to a higher elevation – either by physically moving the devices or installing the antenna(s)
remotely at a higher position.
Use high-gain antenna(s) such as Yagi and/or Omni (see Accessories).
Decrease the distance between devices.

DX80 Gateway will not talk with the host system
No communications
with the DX80 Gateway
using RS485
Default communications parameters for the RS485 are: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and 19.2k baud.
The DX80 Gateway uses Modbus RTU protocol for all communications. The supported Modbus function codes are
3, 6, and 16.
Make sure the DX80 model supports RS485 serial communications.
Make sure the Slave ID is set properly for the bus environment. Factory default Slave ID = 1.
Factory default for the Modbus timeout is set to four seconds.
RS485 termination or biasing is not supplied on the DX80 Gateway and should be provided externally to the DX80.
(Termination is not required by the DX80 Gateway, proper biasing of the serial lines is required.)

RF link time-out and recovery
DX80 Display shows
*ERROR
The Gateway utilizes fully-acknowledged polling to ensure each Node RF link is robust. Consequently, if after
a prescribed number of sequential polling cycles are not acknowledged by a Node, the Gateway considers the
particular link with that Node to be timed out. All outputs on the Node in question will be set to “OFF” (discrete) or
“0” (analog, regardless of type).
If the Node’s RF link is recovered and the Gateway can determine that enough acknowledged polling messages
have been accumulated, then the link is reinstated and outputs are restored to the current values.
