Surecross Dx80 Flexpower Node
Surecross Dx80 Flexpower Node
Configurable Node with switched power outputs, discrete inputs, discrete NMOS outputs, and analog inputs
The SureCross® wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that can oper-
ate 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.

when configured for discrete mode; two discrete inputs, two discrete outputs, and two analog
inputs when configured for analog mode
IP67 Base • FlexPower® power options allows for +10 to 30V dc, solar, and battery power sources for low
2.4 GHz power applications.

Configuring 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.
For parameters not set via DIP switches, use the User Configuration Tool (UCT) to make configuration changes. For parameters set
using the DIP switches, the DIP switch positions override any changes made using the User Configuration Tool.
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.
* Default configuration
Address Mode
The SureCross wireless devices may use one of two types of addressing modes: rotary dial addressing or extended addressing. In
rotary dial address mode, the left rotary dial establishes the network ID and the right rotary dial sets the device ID. The wireless network
is restricted to a maximum of 16 devices.
Extended address mode uses a security code to "bind" Nodes to a specific Gateway. Bound Nodes can only send and receive informa-
tion from the Gateway to which they are bound. In extended address mode, wireless networks may contain up to 48 radio devices. For
more information on extended address mode, refer to the SureCross™ Wireless I/O Network product manual.
The device ships in rotary dial address mode by default, with the DIP switch in the OFF position. To use extended address mode, change
the DIP switch to the ON position.
Analog or Discrete Configuration
Select between an analog configuration or a discrete configuration using the DIP switch specified in the table. The default switch settings
for this device are all in the OFF position.
DIP Switch Settings for Analog Configuration (Switch 2 OFF)
Select between an analog configuration or a discrete configuration using DIP switch 2.
For analog configuration, DIP switch 2 is in the OFF position (factory default). Analog configuration has analog IN 1 linked to switch
power 1 (SP1) and is programmable using switches four through eight. Sample and report rates for analog input 2 (not available in the
integrated battery model) are listed in the specifications. Discrete inputs 1 and 2 are also active in this configuration and the input types
are defined using switch 3. Two sinking discrete outputs are active for this configuration.

Analog IN 2 (not available in integrated battery model), Discrete 1, and Discrete 2 are not powered from switched power terminals. In this
configuration, SP2 is disabled. If you need SP2, contact the factory.
Boost Voltage
The boost voltage is the power supplied to the sensor powered by this FlexPower Node.
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.
Sample and Report Rates
The sample interval, or rate, defines how often the SureCross device samples the input. For battery-powered applications, setting a slow-
er rate extends the battery life.
The report rate defines how often the Node communicates the I/O status to the Gateway. Change of state reporting sets the system to
report only when the value crosses the threshold setting. For FlexPower™ applications, setting the report rate to a slower rate extends
the battery life.
Warm-Up Time
The warm-up time defines how long the device must power up the sensor before a stable sensor reading is taken.
DIP Switch Settings for Discrete Configuration (DIP Switch 2 ON)
The discrete configuration matches the switch power outputs (SP1, SP2) with the discrete inputs. The discrete configuration is selected
when switch 2 is in the ON position. Two sinking discrete outputs are active for this configuration.

• To reduce power consumption and extend battery life, slower sample and reporting rates are used. Faster sample and report rates
can be configured, but this will decrease the battery’s life. For details, refer to the included table of DIP switch configurable parame-
ters.

Warnings
Antenna Installations. 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 SureCross® device or any equipment connected to the SureCross device during a thunderstorm.
Exporting SureCross Radios. It is our intent to fully comply with all national and regional regulations regarding radio frequency emissions. Custom-
ers 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 destina-
tion country. A list of approved countries appears in the Radio Certifications section of the product manual. The SureCross 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. Consult with Banner Engineering Corp. if the destination country is not on this list.
Violating Warnings. The manufacturer does not take responsibility for the violation of any warning listed in this document. Make no modifications to
this product; any modifications to this product not expressly approved by Banner Engineering could void the user’s authority to operate the product.
