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 (Slave) ID. If your
MultiHop
radio has no rotary dials,
continue
to
the next step.
5. Form the wireless network by binding the slave and repeater radios to the master 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.
For
additional

Configure
the DIP Switches
Before changing DIP switch
positions,
disconnect the power. DIP switch changes are not recognized
until
after
power is cycled to the
device.
Accessing the Internal DIP Switches
To access the internal DIP switches, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the four screws that mount the cover to the
bottom
housing.
2. Remove the cover from the housing without damaging the ribbon cable or the pins the cable plugs into.
3. Gently unplug the ribbon cable from the board mounted into the
bottom
housing.
4. Remove the black cover plate from the
bottom
of the device's cover.
The DIP switches are located behind the rotary dials.
After
making the necessary changes to the DIP switches, place the black cover plate back into
position
and
gently push into place. Plug the ribbon cable in
after
verifying that the blocked hole lines up with the
missing pin. Mount the cover back onto the housing.
