MultiHop H12 Data Radio
 
M-H12 Features
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.
Wireless industrial I/O device with two NPN discrete inputs, two NMOS discrete outputs, two 0 to 20 mA
analog inputs, one thermistor input, two SDI-12 inputs, and two switch power outputs
Selectable transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 Watt for 900 MHz models and 65 mW for 2.4 GHz
models
Flex Power® power options allow for 10 V DC to 30 V DC, solar, and battery power sources for low-
power applications.
Self-healing, auto-routing radio frequency network with multiple hops extends the network's range and 
improves radio link performance
Serial and I/O communication on a Modbus platform
Message routing improves link performance
DIP switches select operational modes: master, repeater, or slave
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

Configuration Instructions
Set Up Your MultiHop Network
To set up and install your wireless MultiHop network, follow these steps:
1.
If your radios have DIP switches, configure the DIP switches of all devices.
2.
Connect the sensors to the MultiHop radios if applicable.
3.
Apply power to all devices.
4.
If your MultiHop radio has rotary dials, set the MultiHop Radio ID. If your MultiHop radio has no rotary dials, continue to the next
step.
5.
Form the wireless network by binding the server and repeater radios to the client radio. If the binding instructions are not included in
this datasheet, refer to the quick start guide or product manual.
6.
Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other.
7.
Configure any I/O points to use the sensors connected to the Sure Cross devices.
8.
Conduct a site survey between the MultiHop radios. If the site survey instructions are not included in this datasheet, refer to the
product manual.
9.
Install your wireless sensor network components. If the installation instructions are not included in this datasheet, refer to the product
manual.
