Apply Power to the MultiHop Radio
Connecting power to the communication pins will cause permanent damage. For
to the gray wire. The FlexPower Multihop radios will operate equally well when powered from the brown or gray wire. It is not
necessary to supply both. The power for the sensors can be supplied by the radio's SPx terminals or from the 10 V dc to 30 V dc
used to power the radio.

Bind the MultiHop Radios to Form Networks
To create your MultiHop network, bind the repeater and slave radios to the designated master radio.
1. Apply power to all MultiHop radios and place the MultiHop radios configured as slaves or repeaters at least two meters
away from the master radio.
2. Put the MultiHop master radio into binding mode.
• For two button master radios, triple-click button 2.
• For one button master radios, triple-click the button.
For the two LED/button models, both LEDs flash red and the LCD shows *BINDNG and *MASTER. For single LED/button
models, the LED flashes alternatively red and green.
3. Put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.
• For two button radios, triple-click button 2.
• For one button radios, triple-click the button.
The child radio enters binding mode and searches for any Master radio in binding mode. While searching for the Master
radio, the two red LEDs flash alternately. When the child radio finds the Master radio and is bound, both red LEDs are solid
for four seconds, then both red LEDs flash simultaneously four times. For M-GAGE Nodes, both colors of the single LED
are solid (looks orange), then flash. After the slave/repeater receives the binding code transmitted by the master, the slave
and repeater radios automatically exit binding mode.
4. Repeat step 3 for as many slave or repeater radios as are needed for your network.
5. When all MultiHop radios are bound, exit binding mode on the master.
• For two button master radios, double-click button 2.
• For one button master radios, double-click the button.
All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
Child Radios Synchronize to the Parent Radios
The synchronization process enables a SureCross radio to join a wireless network formed by a master radio. After power-up,
synchronization may take a few minutes to complete. First, all radios within range of the master data radio wirelessly synchronize
to the master radio. These radios may be slave radios or repeater radios.
