Banner DEK100 Quick Start Manual

DEK100 MultiHop Server Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The DEK100 MultiHop Server provides all the benefits of Banner's trusted wireless Modbus radio network and field-wired input/output
capability with the necessary components for remote deployment.
This Quick Start Guide describes the basic steps to assemble and configure the DEK100 MultiHop Server. For a more detailed description of
how to configure the DXM Server, please see the DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Server Instruction Manual (p/n 188231) at
www.bannerengineering.com.
Complete the Enclosure Assembly
Follow these steps to install the cord grips and complete the enclosure assembly.
1. Unpack the included cord grips, vent, and mounting feet.
2. Install the cord grips within the predrilled cutouts at the enclosure's bottom. Hand-tighten the nut of each cord grip carefully to avoid
stripping across the threads.
a. Place the vent below the battery to ensure proper ventilation.
b. Insert the remaining three-cable cord grips into the half-inch size cutout locations.
c. Install the smallest cable gland (for use with the solar cable or single-ended cordset) into the corresponding cutout.
3. Fasten the four mounting feet to the predrilled holes on the back of the enclosure using the included self-tapping screws.
The DXM Server comes with the internal tape antenna installed and connected. If your deployment requires a remotely located external
antenna, disconnect the tape antenna and install the included right-angle SMA adapter on the antenna connection port (ANT).
Set up the MultiHop Network
Follow these steps to set up and install the wireless MulitHop network.
1. Connect any applicable sensors to the DXM server by feeding all cabling for the connected sensors through the installed cord grips.
For a list of the available I/O, refer to the datasheet for your specific DXM100-Sx model.
2. Apply power to all devices (see
3. Use the LCD menu to configure the DXM100-Sx as a Server or Repeater (see
page 2).
4. Use the LCD menu to attribute a Modbus ID to the I/O board of the DXM server (see
Board" on page 2).
5. Form the wireless network by binding the Server and Repeater radios to the Client radio (see
to Form a Network" on page
6. Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other (see
page 3).
7. Configure any I/O points to use the sensors connected to the wireless devices (see
page 3).
8. Conduct a prescreen site survey between MultiHop radios (see
9. Install your wireless sensor network components (see
10. Conduct a final site survey between MultiHop radios.
Apply Power to the DXM Server
Connecting power to the communication pins of the DXM server will cause permanent damage. The power for connected sensors can be
supplied by the DXM server's Px terminals for courtesy power or from the 12 V DC to 30 V DC used to power the DXM server.

When using a DC power supply, feed the power cable through the small cord grip, then wire the ground lead to the DXM server's
main GD terminal and the positive lead to the DXM server's main PW terminal. After the device has powered on, go to
System › Charger › ChargePwr within the LCD menu system and set the ChargePwr mode to DC.
When using a solar panel with backup battery; feed the solar cable through the small cord grip, then wire the negative lead of the solar panel
to the DXM server's main GD terminal and the positive lead to the DXM server's main PW terminal. Wire the negative lead of the battery to
a GD terminal of the DXM server and wire the positive lead of the battery to the B+ terminal of the DXM server. After the device has powered
on, go to System › Charger › ChargePwr within the LCD menu system and set the ChargePwr mode to Solar.
