Configure the DIP Switches
Before changing DIP switch positions, disconnect the power. Any changes made to the DIP switches are not recognized until after
power is cycled to the device.
For parameters not set using the DIP switches, use the User Configuration Software to make configuration changes. For
parameters set using the DIP switches, the DIP switch positions override any changes made using the User Configuration
Software.
Access the Internal DIP Switches
Follow these steps to access the internal DIP switches.
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. Skip this step if there is no ribbon cable
(integrated battery models) or the ribbon cable is glued down (C housing models).
4. Remove the black cover plate from the bottom of the device's cover.
The DIP switches are located behind the rotary dials.
5. Make the necessary changes to the DIP switches.
6. Place the black cover plate back into position and gently push into place.
7. If necessary, plug the ribbon cable in after verifying that the blocked hole lines up with the missing pin.
8. Mount the cover back onto the housing.
DIP Switch Settings
At this time, DIP switch 1 is not used.
Modbus/UCT Configured or DIP Switch Configured— In Modbus/Software Configured mode, use the User Configuration Software
or a Modbus command to change the device parameters. DIP switch positions 3 through 8 are ignored. In DIP Switch Configured
mode, use the DIP switches to configure the parameters listed in the table. By default, this Gateway uses the DIP switches to
configure the device.

Output State During a Radio Link Loss— The Sure Cross®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 set to defined states until the link is
recovered, ensuring that disruptions in the communications link result in predictable system behavior. Select the state the outputs
are changed to during a link loss.

Discrete Bit-Packed Registers
Discrete bit-packed registers include the discrete status registers, discrete inputs, and discrete outputs.
Bit packing involves using a single register, or range of contiguous registers, to represent I/O values.
When networks use similar Nodes to gather data using the same I/O registers for each Node, discrete data from multiple Nodes
can be bit packed into a single register on the Gateway. The bit-packed data is arranged by I/O point starting at Modbus register
6601. For example, Discrete IN 1 for all the Nodes in the network is stored in three contiguous 16-bit registers.
The most efficient way to read (or write) discrete data from a Sure Cross®DX80 Gateway is by using these bit-packed registers
because users can read or write registers for all devices using one Modbus message. The following registers contain discrete bit-
packed I/O values for the Gateway and all Nodes. Values are stored first for the Gateway, then for each Node in order of Node
address.

Status registers (6601–6603) contain a bit-packed representation defining the devices that are operational in the wireless system.
Each bit indicates Node in Sync (1) or Node Not in Sync (0).
A one (1) written to the Discrete Status Register area indicates the device is active within the wireless system. A zero (0) indicates
the device is not active within the wireless network.
Input registers from all devices use Modbus registers 6611 through 6683 to organize the least significant bit into a sequential array
of registers. The first register contains the least significant bit from the input values for the Gateway through Node 15. The second
register contains the input values for Node 16 through Node 31, and the third register contains the input values for Nodes 32
through 47.
For discrete inputs, only the least significant bit is used. For analog inputs, the least significant bit indicates if the analog value is
above or below the selected threshold value (when using the threshold parameter configured in the User Configuration Software).
For example, a least significant bit of one (1) indicates the analog value is above the selected threshold value. A least significant bit
of zero (0) indicates the analog value is below the threshold value.
Output registers from all devices use Modbus registers 6691 through 6753 to organize the least significant bit into a sequential
array of registers. Output 8 (I/O point 16) cannot be written using the discrete format.

Bind to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate the devices by two meters when running binding
procedure. Put only one Gateway into binding at a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway.
1. On the Gateway: Enter binding mode.
• For housed DX80 Gateways, triple-click button 2 on the Gateway. Both LEDs flash red.
• For Gateway board modules, triple-click the button. The green and red LED flashes.
2. Assign the DX80 a Node address using the Gateway's rotary dials. Use the left rotary dial for the left digit and the right
rotary dial for the right digit. For example, to assign your DX80 to Node 10, set the Gateway's left dial to 1 and the right dial
to 0. Valid Node addresses are 01 through 47.
3. On the Q45: Loosen the clamp plate on the top of the DX80 and lift the cover.
4. Enter binding mode on the DX80 by triple-clicking the DX80's button.
The red and green LEDs flash alternately and the sensor searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the DX80 is bound,
the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The DX80 exits binding mode.
5. Label the sensor with the DX80's Node address number for future reference.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as many DX80s as are needed for your network.
7. On the Gateway: After binding all DX80s, exit binding mode.
• For housed DX80 Gateways, double-click button 2.
• For board-level DX80 Gateways, double-click the button.
For Gateways with single-line LCDs: After binding your DX80 to the Gateway, make note of the binding code displayed under the
Gateway's *DVCFG menu, XADR submenu on the LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all DX80s if your
Gateway is ever replaced.
Verify Communication Between the Gateway and the Wireless Q45 Sensors
After powering up and binding the Wireless Q45 Sensors to the Gateway, verify all devices are communicating properly. Verify the
Gateway's LED 1 is green. Until communication is established with the Gateway, the Q45's red LED flashes. After communication
is established, the Q45's green LED flashes.
When testing the Gateway and Wireless Q45 Sensors, verify all radios are at least two meters apart or the communications may
fail.

Conducting a Site Survey (Gateway and Nodes)
A Site Survey, also known as a Radio Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), analyzes the radio communications link between the
Gateway and any Node within the network by analyzing the radio signal strength of received data packets and reporting the
number of missed packets that required a retry.
Perform a Site Survey before permanently installing the radio network to ensure reliable communication. Activate Site Survey mode
from either the Gateway buttons or the Gateway Modbus holding register 15. Only the Gateway can initiate a Site Survey, and the
Site Survey analyzes the radio communications link with one Node at a time.
Conduct a Site Survey Using the Menu System
Initiate a Site Survey using the Gateway’s buttons and menu system.
1. Remove the Gateway's rotary dial access cover.
2. Set the Gateway's rotary dials to the desired Node number.
For example, to check the status of Node 1, set the Gateway's left rotary dial to 0 and the right rotary dial to 1. To check
the status of Node 32, set the Gateway's left rotary dial to 3 and the right rotary dial to 2.
The Gateway is now enabled to read the status of the selected Node. The display scrolls through the Node’s I/O status.
3. Single-click button 1 to scroll across the menu levels until reaching the Site Survey (SITE) menu.
4. Single-click button 2 to enter the Site Survey menu.
5. Single-click button 2 to begin conducting a Site Survey with the Node selected in step 2.
The Gateway analyzes the quality of the signal from the selected Node by counting the number of data packets it receives
from the Node.
6. Examine reception readings (M, R, Y, G) of the Gateway at various locations.
Site survey results display as a percentage. M represents the percent of missed packets while R, Y, and G represent the
percent of received packets at a given signal strength.
M = Percent of missed packets; R = RED marginal signal; Y = YELLOW good signal; G = GREEN excellent signal. Record
the results if you need troubleshooting assistance from the factory.
7. Change the Gateway's rotary dials to conduct a Site Survey with another Node and repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. To end the Site Survey, double-click the Gateway's button 2.
9. Change the Gateway's rotary dials back to 0.
The LCD displays the device readings for the Gateway.
10. Double-click button 2 to move back to the top level menu.
11. Single-click button 1 to return to RUN mode.
12. Install the rotary dial access cover, referring to the Installation section of the manual to create an IP67 seal.
Interpreting the Site Survey Results
Site Survey results are listed as a percentage of data packets received and indicate the signal strength of the received signal.
Result Description
Green Packets received at a strong signal strength. A strong signal strength is greater than −90 dBm at
the receiver.
Yellow Packets received at a good signal strength. A good signal is between −90 and −100 dBm at the
receiver.
Red Packets received at a weak signal strength. A weak signal is less than −100 dBm at the receiver.
Missed Packets not received on the first transmission and requiring a retry.
Judging if the reliability of a network’s signal meets the needs of the application is not just a matter of green, yellow, and red
packets received. In normal operating mode, when data packets are not received, the transmitter re-sends the packet until all data
is received.
For slow monitoring applications such as a tank farm, where data is required in terms of seconds or minutes, receiving most of the
data in the ‘red’ range, indicating a weak but reliable signal, transmits enough data for accurate monitoring. Nodes positioned near
the outside range of the radio signal may have 90% of the data packets received in the red zone, again indicating a weak, but
reliable signal.
We recommend keeping the missed packets average to less than 25%. When the network misses more than 25% of the data
packets, the signal is usually too unreliable or obstacles may be interfering with the signal. When Site Survey reports the missed
packets are 25% or higher, improve the radio system performance by:

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.
Exporting Sure Cross®Radios. It is our intent to fully comply with all national and regional regulations regarding radio frequency emissions. Customers who want to re-export this product
to a country other than that to which it was sold must ensure the device is approved in the destination country. The Sure Cross wireless products were certified for use in these countries
using the antenna that ships with the product. When using other antennas, verify you are not exceeding the transmit power levels allowed by local governing agencies. This device has
been designed to operate with the antennas listed on Banner Engineering’s website and having a maximum gain of 9 dBm. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater that 9
dBm are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen such that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. Consult with Banner Engineering Corp. if
the destination country is not on this list.
