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. DX99 wireless networks are formed around a Gateway, which acts as the wireless network master device, and one
or more Intrinsically Safe Nodes.

.
• Wireless industrial I/O device with two selectable discrete inputs and up to three
configurable
thermocouple inputs (defaults to J-type)
• FlexPower
®
technology driven by one lithium primary
battery
integrated into the
housing
• One thermistor input used for integrated cold
junction
compensation
(CJC)
• DIP switches for user
configuration
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and Time Division
Multiple
Access (TDMA) control architecture ensure reliable data delivery within the
unlicensed Industrial,
Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) band
• Transceivers provide
bidirectional
communication
between the Gateway and
Node, including fully acknowledged data transmission
• Lost RF links are detected and relevant outputs set to
user-defined
conditions
• DX99 Metal housings are
certified
for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, D;
Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G; Class III, Division 1; and Zone 0 (Category 1G) and
Zone 20 (Category 1D) when properly installed in accordance with the
National
Electrical Code, the Canadian Electrical Code, or applicable local
codes/regulations

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.

User
Configuration
Tool
The User
Configuration
Tool (UCT)
offers
an easy way to link I/O points in your wireless network, view I/O register values, and set
system
communication
parameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network. The
software
runs on any computer with
the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10
operating
system.
Use a USB to RS-485 adapter cable to connect a standalone DX80 Gateway to the computer.
For DXM Controllers with an internal DX80 radio, connect a computer to the DXM Controller
using a USB or Ethernet
connection.

The USB to RS-485 adapter cable is not required for the DXM Controller. For standalone DX80
Gateway devices use:
• USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-UCT-900 for 1
Watt
radios
• USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-HW-006 for all other radios
Setting
Up Your Wireless Network
To set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps.
Disconnect the power from your Sure Cross devices.
1.
Configure
the DIP switches of all devices.
