Datasheet
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.
Range can be extended even further using any slave radio as a repeater to create a tree-type network. The MultiHop H10 radios may be powered by
either a battery or 10 to 30 V DC power and include Banner's 1-wire serial interface for use with all of Banner's 1-wire serial sensors, such as the
QM30VT1 Vibration and Temperature sensor. Up to six sensors may be daisy-chained into a single H10 radio.
Benefits
• Deliver factory automation or IIoT solutions by connecting Banner 1-wire serial sensors for applications such as:
◦
Vibration and temperature monitoring for predictive maintenance motor health
◦
Ultrasonic distance measurement for tank level monitoring, distance sensing, etc.
◦
Temperature and humidity monitoring for energy management, process monitoring, etc.
• MultiHop networks are self-healing, auto-routing RF networks with multiple hops that extend the network's range and improve radio link
performance
• Monitor all available 1-wire serial sensor registers previously only available on Modbus sensors
• Transparency mode—Global triggers make polling a sensor function identically to a wired Modbus sensor
• Flexible power options—10 to 30 V DC or a D-cell battery gives extended battery life
• Reduced deployment costs—Allows up to six 1-wire serial sensors to be connected at a time
• Available solutions—Integrates with Vibration Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance MultiHop Solutions Kits
• External antenna mounts to the proper location or you can replace it with a higher gain antenna for increased range
• Eliminate control wires—The Sure Cross wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O
that removes the need for power and control wires
• Reduce complexity—Machine or process reconfiguration made easier; great for retrofit applications
• Deploy easily—Simplified installation on existing equipment enables deployment in remote and hard-to-
access locations where implementing a wired solution would be difficult, impractical, or not cost-effective
• Selectable transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 Watt for 900 MHz models and 65 mW for 2.4 GHz
models
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery within the
unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
• Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the master and slave radios, including fully
acknowledged data transmission

WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-energized (off) output condition.
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.
Important:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device
• ESD can damage the device. Damage from inappropriate handling is not covered by warranty.
• Use proper handling procedures to prevent ESD damage. Proper handling procedures include leaving devices in their
anti-static packaging until ready for use; wearing anti-static wrist straps; and assembling units on a grounded, static-
dissipative surface.
