WARNING!!
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
For our Customers who wish to use this product in hazardous locations.
The HN-210D, HN-210DX, HN-214D and HN-214DX radios have been tested by
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D
Hazardous Locations as specified in UL1604 and UL/C-UL/Zones(UL2279).
Such areas may have Explosive Gases.
To install these radios in this environment the following steps must be implemented.
The power supply used with the product must be a UL Class 2 rated device.
1) Contract a Qualified Licensed Electrician to install and run the power wiring from
a screw type, hard wired 12 VDC 1A Class 2 Output power supply in a UL Listed
Box and route a conduit to the radio which must be installed in a UL Listed Box
suitable for the environment. The conduit must be gas tight so no gases can
flow through conduit.
2) Any Cirronet products with outdoor radio transceivers (tower mounted) marked
for Hazardous Locations must have the interconnecting multi-conductor cable
run in approved conduit for the hazardous location. The cable must be in the
conduit until out of the Hazardous Location and the conduit must be gas tight so
no gases can flow through conduit.
3) Do NOT remove the power connector to the device while circuit is live.
Disconnect power only while circuit is dead, or the location is known to be non-
hazardous. Failure to do so, may result in a “Risk of Fire or Explosion”
Only then is the unit suitable for a hazardous location.
For more information on Hazardous Locations contact UL and ask for UL1604
requirements. www.ul.com
RF Exposure
WARNING: End Users of these systems must be informed that RF exposure
limits may be exceeded if personnel come closer than 45 cm to the antenna
aperture when exceeding 9 dBi of gain in conjunction with the transceiver.
Repairs
Murata does not recommend field repairs of the radio equipment. Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) has been used in the production of the transceiver
module, which requires specialized training and equipment for proper
servicing. The equipment should be returned to the factory for any repair.

Introduction
The HopNet family of products provides reliable wireless connectivity for either point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint applications. HopNet products are built around the WIT2410
radio transceiver, which employs frequency hopping spread spectrum technology. This
technology ensures:
•Maximum resistance to noise
•Maximum resistance to multipath fading
•Robustness in the presence of interfering signals
The HN-210D and HN-210DX are NEMA 4X weatherproof versions of the HopNet
product line. The HN-214D, which is a HN-210D with a 4 ft. cable, is also available. The
interface to the HopNet D and DX versions allows the Host to communicate with the
Remote unit through an integrated 50 ft (15 meter) cable. The HopNet D and DX
versions can act as either Bases or Remotes.
The HopNet D Remote has an internally mounted 6 dBi patch antenna. The
built-in antenna of the HopNet D case greatly eases outdoor installation since
no antenna feedline cable or adapters are needed. The 6 dBi antenna gain
increases the radiated EIRP to +24 dBm and the effective receiver sensitivity
to –99 dBm. The HopNet DX has a TNC connector for attaching one of the
following external antennas:
OMNI242 OMNI249
OMNI2412 YAGI2415
RWA242 RWA249
CORNER249 CORNER2414
PAR2418
PAR2424
HopNet Benefits
The HopNet family of products is built with rugged enclosures compliant with
IP 66 and NEMA 4X standards for outdoor and harsh industrial environments.
All Hopnet products work with each other and can be mixed and matched in a
single network. All HopNet Products are WIT2410 compatible and can be
used with WIT2410 OEM based products as well as with the SNAP 2410
10/100Base T access point.
Operating Frequency
The HopNet family operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band that allows for license-
free use and worldwide compliance.

HopNet Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Advantages
In the frequency domain, a multipath fade can be described as a frequency
selective notch that shifts in location and depth over time. Multipath fades
typically occupy five percent of the band. A conventional radio system
typically has a five percent chance of signal impairment at any given time due
to multipath fading.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum reduces the vulnerability of a radio
system to interference from jammers and multipath fading by distributing or
spreading the signal over a larger region of the frequency band.
The fade resistant, HopNet frequency-hopping technology employs up to 75
channels and switches channels over 100 times a second to achieve high
reliability throughput.
HopNet Data Integrity
An on-board 3 KB buffer and error correcting over-the-air protocol ensure
data integrity even in the presence of weak signals or jammers. The serial
interface handles both data and control of asynchronous data rates of up to
230 Kbps.
Flexible Power Management
The power can be set at 10 milliwatts or 100 milliwatts using the included
software. Reduced power can reduce the size of the coverage zone, which
may be desirable for multiple network indoor applications. You can also place
the transceiver module in a power-save mode, which enables smart power
management. Smart power management allows a remote unit to drop into a
lower current standby mode during transmission or receiving gaps. This
feature also allows HopNet products to be used in various countries where
the output power requirements may vary due to regulation.

Advanced Features
HopNet modems have many advanced features:
•Employ frequency hopping technology with up to 75 channels in the
2401 to 2475 MHz frequency range
•Support digital addressing for up to 64 networks, with 62 remotes per
network.
•Use transparent ARQ protocol
•Use same hardware for all supported data rates
•Supports up to 230 Kbps asynchronous data rates
•Full Duplex operation
•Store setup configuration in nonvolatile memory (FLASH)
•Fast acquisition – less than 2 seconds is the typical time to acquire
hopping pattern
•Smart power management features

Getting Started
A pair of HopNet radios are set up by performing the following steps:
•Install the HopNet Wizard configuration program on a PC
•Connect the HopNet radio to the PC
•Set one HopNet radio as a base radio
•Run a communications test
These steps are described in detail below. Other steps you may want to
perform include:
•Change the baud rate
•Change the radio network number
•Change how fast the radios change frequencies
Refer to the Configuring the Network section of this manual for details on
these steps.
Install the HopNet Configuration Wizard on a PC.
The HopNet Configuration Wizard is located on the software and documentation CD
included in the HopNet radio package. Install the program by inserting the CD in the PC
and following the installation wizard. If autorun has been turned off, double-click on
setup.exe on the CD to start the wizard.
Connect the HopNet radio to the PC.
Plug one end of the serial cable provided to a serial port on the PC.
