    Higher gain antennas focus the energy of the radio signal in a specific direction and extend the signal’s range. Using data radios is another option to consider when trying to extend the range of a radio network. For more information on data radios, please refer to Banner’s white paper on range extension on www.bannerengineer- ing.com/surecross.

    Remove Moisture and Condensation. If condensation is present in any de- vice, add a small desiccant packet to the inside of the radio. To help vent the ra- dios, Banner also sells a vented plug (model number BWA-HW-031) for the 1/2- inch NPT port of the SureCross radios.

  • Page 22: Other Installation Requirements

    To achieve the best radio performance, carefully consider the installation locations for the Gateways and Nodes and se- lect locations without obstructions in the path. For more information about antennas, please refer to the Antenna Basics reference guide, Banner document p/n 132113. 4.3.2 Increase the Height of the Antennas Position the external antenna vertically for optimal RF communication.

    SureCross DX80 and Performance DX80 Product Manual 4.3.3 Collocated 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, always assign a unique Network ID to your wireless networks. The Network ID (NID) is a unique identifier you assign to each wireless network to minimizes the chances of two collocated networks interfering with each other.

    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 tran- sients, noise, and ground plane interference originating from devices or the environment. Contact Banner Engineering Corp. for more information.

    SureCross DX80 and Performance DX80 Product Manual Host System Node 1 Gateway Node 2 5.8.2 Gateway Link Failure Gateway link failures are determined by three global parameters: polling interval, maximum missed message count, and re-link count. The polling interval (or rate) defines how often the Gateway communicates with each Node to verify the radio link is op- erating.

    8.2.3 FlexPower Solar Supply Banner’s FlexPower Solar Supply Assembly can be used to power up to two radio devices, including a FlexPower Node, a FlexPower Gateway, or a data radio. When used with a FlexPower Node and sensors, the Solar Assembly supplies enough power to run most sensors at higher sample and re- port rates than a single battery can reasonably support.

  • Page 71: Discrete Configuration

    For each sensor characterized, a boost voltage and warmup time was specified. The sample and reports rates were varied to calculate the estimated battery life. For example, a Banner QT50ULBQ6-75390 sensor set to a boost voltage of 15 volts, a warm-up time of 500 milliseconds, and a sample and report rate of 15 minutes, should have a battery life of 4.45 years.

  • Page 72: Temperature And Humidity Sensor

    For each sensor characterized, a boost voltage and warmup time was specified. The sample and reports rates were varied to calculate the estimated battery life. For example, a Banner Optical sensor, model SM312DQD-78419, set to a boost voltage of 5 volts, a warm-up time of 4 milliseconds, and a sample and report rate of 16 seconds, should have a battery life of just over 6 years.
