2 Quick Start Guide
2.1 Device Setup
2.1.1 Apply Power to the Controller
Follow these instructions to apply 12–30 V DC power to the controller using a wall plug.
Equipment used:
•
DXM Wireless Controller
•
MQDMC-401
0.3 m (1 ft) cordset with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect fitting
•
PSW-24-1
Wall plug power supply; 24 V DC, 1 A
Important:
•
Never operate a 1 Watt radio without connecting an antenna
•
Operating 1 Watt radios without an antenna connected will damage the radio circuitry.
•
To avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never apply power to a Sure Cross
®
Performance or Sure
Cross MultiHop (1 Watt) radio without an antenna connected.
1. Connect the brown wire from the
MQDMC-401
cordset to the DXM's PW (+ power) terminal.
2. Connect the blue wire from the
MQDMC-401
cordset to the DXM's GD (- ground) terminal.
3. Connect the
PSW-24-1
power supply to the
MQDMC-401
cordset.
4. Plug in the
PSW-24-1
wall plug power supply.
2.1.2 Binding and Conducting a Site Survey with the ISM Radio
Before the ISM radio can communicate, the ISM radio within the DXM must be bound to the other radios in the wireless
network.
Use the DXM LCD menu to bind external radios to the internal ISM radio.
If you are having difficulty running binding or site surveys, it may be because of the speed of the XML configuration file or
script running on the DXM. To resolve this issue, try one of the following options:
•
Disable the XML and script by setting DIP switch 4 on the processor board to ON and cycling the power to the DXM.
After binding the devices, turn DIP switch 4 back OFF and cycle power again to return to normal operation of the XML
and script.
•
Adjust the XML or script to slow down the RTU read or write rules.
•
Upload a blank XML, bind all devices, then upload the configured XML file.
Bind a DX80 Node to a DXM and Assign the Node Address
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. After a Gateway
enters binding mode, the Gateway automatically generates and transmits a unique extended addressing (XADR), or binding,
code to all Nodes within range that are also in binding mode. The extended addressing (binding) code defines the network,
and all radios within a network must use the same code.
1. Apply power to all the devices.
Separate radios by two meters when running the binding procedure. Put only one DXM Gateway into binding mode at
a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway.
2. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a) Use the arrow keys to select the
ISM Radio
menu on the LCD and press
ENTER
.
b) Highlight the
Binding
menu and press
ENTER
.
3. Assign the Node address to the Node.
•
For Nodes without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the Node address to assign to the DX80 Node
about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this Node address to the next Node that enters binding mode.
Only bind one Node at a time.
•
For Nodes with rotary dials: Use the Node's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal Node Address (between 01 and
47). The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0
through 9) of the Node Address. You can leave the DXM "Bind to" address set to 1 because the Node's rotary
dials will override that setting.
4. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing
ENTER
on the DXM radio.
5. Enter binding mode on the DX80 Node.
•
For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
