The Sure Cross
wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that operates in most environments to eliminate the
need for wiring runs. DX99 wireless networks are formed around a Gateway, which acts as the wireless network master device, and one
or more Intrinsically Safe Nodes.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output
condition.

Sure Cross
User Configuration Tool
The User Configuration Tool (UCT) offers an easy way to link I/O points in your wireless network, view I/O register values, and set
system communication parameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network. The software runs on any computer with
the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 operating system.
Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps.
Disconnect the power from your Sure Cross devices.
1. Configure the DIP switches of all devices.

Use a USB to RS-485 adapter cable to connect a standalone DX80 Gateway to the computer.
For DXM Controllers with an internal DX80 radio, connect a computer to the DXM Controller
using a USB or Ethernet connection. Download the most recent revisions of the UCT software
from Banner Engineering's website: www.bannerengineering.com/wireless.
The USB to RS-485 adapter cable is not required for the DXM Controller. For standalone DX80
Gateway devices use:
•
USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-UCT-900 for 1 Watt radios
•
USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-HW-006 for all other radios
