SureCross User Configuration Tool
Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps:
1. Configure the DIP switches of all devices.
2. Connect the sensors to the SureCross devices.
3. Apply power to all devices.
4. Form the wireless network by binding the Nodes to the Gateway. If the binding instructions are not included in the datasheet, refer to
the product manual for binding instructions.
5. Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other.
6. Conduct a site survey between the Gateway and Nodes. If the site survey instructions are not included in this datasheet, refer to the
product manual for detailed site survey instructions.
7. Install your wireless sensor network components. If installation instructions are not included in this datasheet, refer to the product
manual for detailed installation instructions.
For additional information, including installation and setup, weatherproofing, device menu maps, troubleshooting, and a list of accesso-
ries, refer to one of the following product manuals.

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 devices with batteries integrated into the housing, remove the battery for at least one minute.
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. For integrated battery models (no ribbon cable) and
Class I, Division 2 certified devices (ribbon cable is glued down), skip this step.
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.

The User Configuration Tool (UCT) offers an easy way to link I/O points in your wire-
less network, view I/O register values graphically, and set system communication pa-
rameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network.
The UCT requires a special USB to RS-485 (model number BWA-UCT-900 for 1 Watt
radios, BWA-HW-006 can be used for all other radios) converter cable to pass infor-
mation between your computer and the Gateway. Download the most recent revi-
sions of the UCT software from Banner Engineering's website:
