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. Wireless MultiHop data radio networks are formed around a MultiHop master and one or more slaves and
extend the range of a Modbus or other serial communication network.
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.
CAUTION: Never Operate 1 Watt Radios Without Antennas
To avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never power up Sure Cross
Watt) radios without an antenna.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
ESD Sensitive Device. This product uses semiconductors that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). When performing maintenance, care must be taken so the device is not damaged. Disconnect power
from the device when accessing the internal DIP switches. Proper handling procedures include wearing anti-
static wrist straps. Damage from inappropriate handling is not covered by warranty.

DC Latching Operation
To operate the outputs, write the output register 0503 to 1 to activate the DC Latching output. Write the output register 0503 to 0
to deactivate the outputs. The 0503 operation is not functional when radio communications are lost; the solenoid remains in its last
state. The user is responsible for correcting the radio communications problem and regaining control of the external device.

To set up and install your wireless MultiHop network, follow these steps:
Original Document
150873 Rev. I
•
Wireless industrial I/O device with two selectable discrete inputs that each keep a totalizer
event count and one DC latching output
•
Selectable transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 Watt for 900 MHz models and 65 mW for
2.4 GHz models
•
Flex Power
®
technology driven by one lithium primary battery integrated into the housing or
10 to 30 V dc
•
Self-healing, auto-routing RF network with multiple hops extends the network's range
•
Message routing improves link performance
•
Operates as a slave device when powered by the internal battery; may be configured as a
repeater when powered by 10 to 30 V dc; not designed to operate as a master radio
•
Built-in site survey mode enables rapid assessment of a location's RF transmission
properties
•
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery
within the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
