Installing Your SureCross™ Radios
The following are some recommendations for installing your wireless network components.
Mounting SureCross Devices Outdoors
Mounting SureCross Devices Outdoors
Use a Secondary Enclosure. For most outdoor applications, we recommend installing your
SureCross devices inside a secondary enclosure.
For a list of available enclosures, refer to the Accessories list.
SureCross DX70 Wireless Point-to-Point Kits
6 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: [phone] P/N 133214 rev. H

Point Away From Direct Sunlight. When you are not using a secondary enclosure, mini-
mize the damaging effects of ultra-violet radiation by mounting the devices to avoid facing
intense direct sunlight.
• Mount under an overhang or other source of shade,
• Install indoors, or
• Face the devices north when installing outside.
For harsh outdoor applications, consider installing your radio inside a secondary enclosure.
For a list of available enclosures, refer to the Accessories list.
Mount Vertically to Avoid Collecting Rain. When possible, mount the devices where rain
or snow will drain away from the device.
• Mount vertically so that precipitation, dust, and dirt do not accumulate on permeable
surfaces.
• Avoid mounting the devices on flat or concave surfaces, especially if the display will be
pointing up.
Moisture and Condensation. If condensation is present in any device, add a small desic-
cant packet to the inside of the radio.
To help vent the radios, Banner also sells a vented plug (model number BWA-HW-031) for
the 1/2" NPT port of the SureCross radios.
Vented plug for the 1/2" NPT port.
Watertight Glands and NPT Ports
Watertight Glands and Plugs
To make glands and plugs watertight, use PTFE tape and follow these steps.
To make the glands watertight:
1. Wrap four to eight passes of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape around the
threads as close as possible to the hexagonal body of the gland.
2. Manually thread the gland into the housing hole. Never apply more than 5 in-
lbf of torque to the gland or its cable clamp nut.*
Seal any unused PG-7 access holes with one of the supplied black plastic plugs. To install a watertight PG-7 plug:
1. Wrap four to eight passes of PTFE tape around the plug’s threads, as close as possible to the flanged surface.
2. Carefully thread the plastic plug into the vacant hole in the housing and tighten using a slotting screwdriver. Never apply more than
10 in-lbf torque to the plastic plug.
* This is not a lot of torque and is equivalent to the torque generated without using tools. If a wrench is used, apply only very light pres-
sure. Torquing these fittings excessively damages the device.
Watertight NPT Plugs
Seal the 1/2” NPT port if it is not used. To install a watertight NPT plug:
1. Wrap 12 to 16 passes of PTFE tape evenly across the length of the threads.
2. Manually thread the plug into the housing port until reaching some resistance.
3. Using a 9/16” crescent wrench, turn the plug until all the plug’s threads are engaged by the housing port or until the resistance
doubles. Do not overtighten as this will damage the SureCross unit. These threads are tapered and will create a waterproof seal
without overtightening.
* This is not a lot of torque and is equivalent to the torque generated without using tools. If a wrench is used, apply only very light pres-
sure. Torquing these fittings excessively damages the device.

Replacing the Rotary Dial Access Cover
Check the rotary dial 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 dial access cover, manually twist the cover into posi-
tion. Do not allow cross-threading between the cover and the devce's 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 dial access
cover even with the cover surface.
Replacing the Main Body Gasket
Check the main body gasket every time a SureCross™ device is opened.
Replace the gasket when it is damaged, discolored, or showing signs of wear.
The gasket must be:
• Fully seated within its channel along the full length of the perimeter, and
• Positioned straight within the channel with no twisting, stress, or stretching.
Other Installation Requirements
Reduce Chemical Exposure
Before installing any devices in a chemically harsh environment, contact the manufacturer for more information regarding the life-expect-
ancy. Solvents, oxidizing agents, and other chemicals will damage the devices.
Minimize Mechanical Stress
Although these radio devices are very durable, they are sophisticated electronic devices that are sensitive to shock and excessive load-
ing.
• Avoid mounting the devices 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 devices to external loads. Do not step on them or use them as handgrips.
• Do not allow long lengths of cable to hang from the glands on the Gateway or Node. Cabling heavier than 100 grams should be
supported instead of allowed to hang from the housing.
It is the user’s responsibility to install these devices so they will not be subject to overvoltage transients. Always ground the devices in
accordance with local, state, or national regulations.
Installation Quick Tips
The following are some quick tips for improving the installation of wireless network components.
SureCross DX70 Wireless Point-to-Point Kits

Create a Clear Communication Path
Wireless communication is hindered by radio interference and obstructions in the path between the transmitter and receiver. To achieve
the best radio performance, carefully consider the installation locations for the Gateways and Nodes and select locations without obstruc-
tions in the path.
For more information about antennas, please refer to the Antenna Basics reference guide, Banner document p/n 132113.
Increase the Height of the Antennas
Position the external antenna vertically for optimal RF communication. If necessary, consider changing the height of the SureCross radio,
or its antenna, to improve reception. For outdoor applications, mounting the antenna on top of a building or pole may help achieve a line-
of-sight radio link with the other radios in the network.
No line of sight
Line of sight
Node
Gateway
Avoid Collocating Radios
When the radio network’s master device is located too close to another radio device, communications between all devices is interrupted.
For this reason, do not install a Gateway device within two meters of another Gateway or Node.
Be Aware of Seasonal Changes
When conducting the initial Site Survey, the fewest possible missed packets for a given link is better. However, seasonal changes may
affect the signal strength and the total signal quality. Radios installed outside with 50% missed packets in the winter months may have
80% or more missed packets in the summer when leaves and trees interfere with radio reception.
During spring and summer, leaves may
block more of the radio signal.
A good signal strength in winter doesn’t
always mean you’ll get the same signal
strength the rest of the year.

Basic Remote Antenna Installation
A remote antenna system is any antenna system where the antenna is not connected directly to the radio. These systems typically use
coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the radio. When installing a remote antenna system, always include a lightning arrestor or coaxial
surge suppressor in the system. Remote antenna systems installed without surge protection invalidate the warranty of the radio devices.
Surge suppressors should be properly grounded and mounted at ground level near where the cabling enters a building. Install the surge
suppressor indoors or inside a weatherproof enclosure to minimize corrosion or component deterioration. For best results, mount the
surge suppressor as close to the ground as possible to minimize the length of the ground connection and use a single-point ground
system to avoid creating ground loops.
For more detailed information about how antennas work and how to install them, refer to Antenna Basics, Banner document 132113 (also
included as a chapter within the product manual).

I/O Isolation. When connecting analog and discrete I/O to external equipment such as VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), it may be
appropriate to install interposing relays and/or loop isolation devices to protect the DX80 unit from transients, noise, and ground plane
interference originating from devices or the environment. Contact Banner Engineering Corp. for more information.
Weatherproofing Remote Antenna Installations
Prevent water damage to the cable and connections by sealing the connections with rubber splicing tape and electrical tape.
Step 1: Verify both connections are clean and dry before connecting the antenna cable to the antenna or other cable and hand-tighten-
ing.
Step 2: Tightly wrap the entire connection with rubber splicing tape.
Begin wrapping the rubber splicing tape one inch away from the connection and continue wrapping until you are one inch past the other
end of the connection. Each new round of tape should overlap about half the previous round.
Step 3: Protect the rubber splicing tape from UV damage by tightly wrapping electrical tape on top of the rubber splicing tape. The
electrical tape should completely cover the rubber splicing tape and overlap the rubber tape by one inch on each side of the connection.

Antenna Installation
Always install and properly ground a qualified surge suppressor when installing a remote antenna system. Remote antenna configura-
tions installed without surge suppressors invalidate the manufacturer's warranty.
Always 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 SureCross™ device or any equipment connec-
ted to the SureCross device during a thunderstorm.

Advanced Setup
Binding the DX70 Gateway and Node
DX70 Gateways and Nodes ships from the factory bound to each other. You should only need to bind devices if you are replacing one of
the devices in your existing pair.
Binding Nodes to their Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. The Gateway automatically
generates a unique extended addressing code when the Gateway enters binding mode. This code is then transmitted to all radios within
range that are also in binding mode. After a Node is bound, the Node accepts data only from the Gateway to which it is bound. The
extended addressing code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same code.
If the power is applied and the Power LED is solid green and the Signal LED is solid red for more than thirty seconds (indicating an RF
link error), the devices need to be bound. To bind your DX70 pair, follow these instructions.
1. Install the supplied antennas to both the Gateway and Node.
2. Apply power to both devices and position the Gateway and Node at least two meters apart.
The Power LED is solid green and the Signal LED is solid red, indicating an RF link error.*
3. Remove the rotary dial access covers.
4. On the Gateway, set both the left and right rotary dials to 0, then set both the left and right rotary dials to F.
The Gateway enters binding mode. Note that both rotary dials for each device must be changed to F after applying power, not before
applying power. Both the POWER and SIGNAL LEDs flash red.
5. On the Node, set both the left and right rotary dials to 0, then set both rotary dials to F.
The Node enters binding mode and waits for the Gateway to respond. Both the Gateway’s and Node’s LEDs alternately flash red
during pairing. After the devices are successfully bound, the Node’s LEDs are solid red for a few seconds and the Node automatically
exits binding mode. The Node Power LED is solid green and Signal LED is solid red, indicating the Node is bound. Binding should
take less than twenty seconds.
6. Change the Gateway’s rotary dials to a valid Network ID.
SureCross DX70 Wireless Point-to-Point Kits
14 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: [phone] P/N 133214 rev. H

Valid Network IDs are 01 through 32, in decimal, established using both rotary dials. The left dial may be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3. The right
dial may be set from 0 to 9 when the left dial is at 0, 1, or 2; or set to 0 through 2 when the left dial is at 3. (Positions A through F are
invalid network ID numbers.)**
7. The Node automatically synchronizes to the Gateway and establishes a radio link in less than a minute.
When a radio link is established, the Power LED is green and the Signal LED flashes yellow on both devices to indicate the signal
strength.
8. On the Node, set both the left and right rotary dials back to 0, or any position other than F.
9. Replace both the rotary dial access covers.
Regardless of the position of the Node’s rotary dials, the DX70 devices within this bound pair maintain a radio link. For successful bind-
ing, the Gateway and Node should be at least two meters apart and have the antennas installed.
* Unbound devices will have a solid green Power LED and solid red Signal LED thirty seconds after power up. Bound devices have a
solid green Power LED and a flashing yellow Signal LED within thirty seconds of power up.
** When multiple networks operate in the same area, assign a unique Network ID (NID) to the Gateway device within each bound pair.
For more information about collocated networks and Network IDs, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
DIP Switch Settings for the DX70 Devices
Use the DIP switches on the circuit board to set:
• link output error response
• input type
• output or link mapping
• link timeout
Changes made to the DIP switches affect all I/O for this device.

Accessing the DIP Switches
To access the 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. For Class I, Division 2 certified devices, skip this
step (the ribbon cable is glued).
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 neces-
sary changes to the DIP switches, place the black cover plate back into posi-
tion 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.
Discrete Input Type
Select the discrete input type: sourcing (PNP) or sinking (NPN).
Link Loss Outputs
The SureCross™ DX80 wireless devices use a deterministic 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 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.
Maintenance
Follow these instructions to perform basic maintenance tasks.
Replacing the Main Body Gasket
Check the main body gasket every time a SureCross™ device is opened.
Replace the gasket when it is damaged, discolored, or showing signs of wear.
The gasket must be:
• Fully seated within its channel along the full length of the perimeter, and
• Positioned straight within the channel with no twisting, stress, or stretching.

Replacing the Rotary Dial Access Cover
Check the rotary dial 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 dial access cover, manually twist the cover into posi-
tion. Do not allow cross-threading between the cover and the devce's 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 dial access
cover even with the cover surface.
Troubleshooting
The following troubleshooting tips include some basic instructions for common problems.
Troubleshooting Problems on Your DX70 Network
No LEDs. Recheck the power connections and power requirements. DX70 devices require 10 to 30V dc.
Signal LED is solid red or flashing red for more than 30 seconds. If the devices are less than two meters apart, they may not com-
municate properly (radios may saturate). The devices may be too far apart to achieve sync – consult factory for options.
Collocated Networks. To prevent interference between collocated networks, assign each wireless network a different Network ID.
RF Link Timeout and Recovery
The SureCross™ DX70 wireless devices employ a deterministic link timeout method to address RF link interruption or failure. As soon as
a specific RF link fails, all pertinent wired outputs are brought to a predefined state until the link is recovered (default DIP switch setting).
Through this process, users of Banner wireless networks can be assured that disruptions in the communications link result in predictable
system behavior.
The link time-out feature uses a fully-acknowledged polling method to determine the RF link status of each device on the network. If after
a specified number of sequential polling cycles a device does not acknowledge a message, the devices consider the link to be timed out.
Once a link has timed out, the units must send and receive a specified number of good RF communications packets before the link is
reinstated. Outputs are restored to current values when the link is recovered.
The lost link option is only available on the 4P4M2M2 models.

1. The RF link between the devices has timed out. In this example, the lost link is energized and the outputs have been programmed by
the DIP switches to go to their de-energized states (default DIP switch position).
2. The RF link between the devices has recovered and the outputs return to their current states.
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 all devices. The need for a clear path increases as the
transmission distance increases.
Collocated Networks
To prevent interference between collocated wireless networks, assign each wireless network a different Network ID. The Network ID is a
unique identifier assigned to each wireless network using the rotary dials on the Gateway.
Setting the Network ID on the DX70s
The Network ID is a unique identifier assigned to each wireless network that minimizes the chances of two collocated networks interfering
with each other. Assigning different NIDs to different networks improves collocation performance in dense installations.
To assign the Network ID for the DX70 network, use the Gateway's rotary dials. Valid Network IDs are 01 through 32, in decimal, estab-
lish using both rotary dials on the Gateway.
1. Set the Gateway's left dial to either 0, 1, 2, or 3.
2. Set the Gateway's right dial to any number from 0 to 9 when the left dial is at 0, 1, or 2; or set to 0 through 2 when the left dial is at 3.
(Positions A through F are invalid network ID numbers.)
