Page 3 RF - Radio Frequency. Electro- magnetic signals in the radio band. Rx/Tx - Receive. Transmit. TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access. A wireless network communication architecture that provides a given slot of time for each device on the network. Provides guaranteed opportunity for each device to transmit to the gateway.
Page 4 Most Reliable Name in Sensors. To satisfy the performance demands for reliable sensing and actuation, Banner has reinvented wireless. The SureCross™ Wireless Network is the first wireless platform built from the ground up for industry— featuring proprietary RF design, power management...
Page 5 Easy to Apply Wireless Modules Go Where Other Systems Can’t. The Banner SureCross Wireless System is a radio device network with integrated I/O that can operate in extreme environments while eliminating the need for costly wiring runs. The most basic SureCross network includes a Gateway system controller and one or more Nodes that monitor and/or control I/O in remote locations.

Page 7 -inch NPT port for added flexibility. Configure your SureCross wireless network with Gateway and Node components set to your specifications. Or choose SureCross Kits that are configured for a number of common applications. Either way, Banner can help you select the exact components, tailor your solution, or help you choose a kit that delivers the performance you need.
Page 8 SureCross Robust. Reliable. Secure. The SureCross network uses a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) methodology in either the 900 MHz frequency band or 2.4 GHz frequency band. FHSS architecture periodically “hops” in a random sequence from frequency to frequency. This technique not only prevents interference from competing RF signals, it also enhances security.

External Antenna Interface—external flexible antennas rotate for mounting and positioning versatility; optional internal and remote, standard and high-gain antennas available Network Identity and Device Address Rotary Switches—easy-to-set and change; with screw-on cover Menu and Configuration Access Push Buttons— click through menu-driven configuration LED Status Indicators—give real-time feedback of RF link status, serial communication activity and error state...
Page 10 Enhancing monitoring or control in legacy process environments is now simple and affordable. Banner SureCross™ Nodes and Gateways can be easily deployed wherever additional monitoring is desired, without hardwiring and conduit. Control capabilities featuring Banner sensors and a wide range of industrial communication protocols can also be added.
Page 11: Process Control And Monitoring
Monitoring and control in processing applications are limited only by imagination. From tank levels to line pressure, from temperature to voltage— anywhere along the line, the versatile SureCross™ Wireless Network can be deployed, scaled and redeployed. Adding new Nodes or establishing multiple networks within the same environment is turnkey.
Page 12: Factory Automation
Lean is not a single solution, but a combination of small steps that contribute to continuous improvement. The versatile Banner Wireless Network offers the ability to quickly implement, move, change, expand and refine processes as your needs change.
Page 13 Wireless Conveyor Monitoring. Banner Wireless Nodes with optional FlexPower™ and low-power Banner sensors combine to create a portable monitoring system that instantly integrates into a legacy overhead conveyor without new hardwiring. Nodes travel with the product, providing remote monitoring and control using the Wireless Gateway.
Page 14: Agriculture And Water Management
Banner has taken the robust RF performance and bidirectional Rx/Tx communication capabilities of SureCross to deliver the first practical, wireless network for monitoring and control. FHSS communication protocol plus fully-acknowledged data transfer provide unprecedented communications reliability, but only Banner’s configurable default output condition can provide the predictable response needed for critical...
Page 15 Environmental Temperature and Humidity Monitoring SureCross™ Wireless Nodes equipped with FlexPower™ and a thermocouple or RTD can be easily implemented for monitoring optimal barn temperature ranges or dairy bulk tank temperatures, triggering a setpoint alarm if the acceptable range is exceeded. Specialized Nodes can accommodate temperature and humidity sensors for monitoring and alarm output on one device.
Page 16 Rail Transport Car Positioning M-GAGE™ Wireless Sensor Nodes embedded into tracks signal the arrival and facilitate positioning of hoppers, tank and freight cars for loading and unloading. EZ-LIGHT™ signals indicate rail car position to optimally align cars to spouts, elevators and nozzles for more efficient transfers. Courtesy of Steven Engineering, Inc.
Page 17: Traffic Monitoring And Control
A More Dependable and Rugged Sensing Solution for the Demands of Traffic Management. Conventional embedded solutions for traffic management and control, such as fragile inductive loop detection (ILD) systems, are significantly prone to failure. High failure rates associated with ILD systems not only create inaccurate data that can lead to inefficient traffic management, but make frequent and difficult replacement of in-pavement inductive loops and weakened pavement integrity a harsh reality.
Page 18 Banner SureCross™ provides turnkey wireless solutions. Highly Modular Monitoring Capabilities. Whether facility-wide or with a single-node, the SureCross™ Wireless Network facilitates adding capabilities for monitoring, security and essential control with ease, low cost and little-to-no disruption of existing systems. Easy-to-apply SureCross Wireless Kits offer a complete, modular system that you can apply and move as needed to different locations and for diverse applications.
Page 19: Commercial And Consumer Monitoring
Commercial and Consumer Monitoring EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS Energy Monitoring/Management A rooftop HVAC system can be activated based on facility requirements through a Wireless Gateway located inside a facility’ s physical plant. With this monitoring system, industry managers identify opportunities where their facility could be more energy efficient and conserve plant resources. Security/Access Monitoring To monitor and control the entry to storage rooms in the back of a large facility, a proximity sensor is used with a FlexPower Node.
