The R70SR Serial Data Radio is fitted with a 5­pin M12 connector for fast installations. Use straight splitter cordsets to connect multiple de­
vices and power to the R70SR Serial Radio. For a list of splitter and cordset options, see

Bind the R70SR Serial Data Radio to Form a Network
To create your network, bind the R70SR to the designated server radio.
Verify your radio DIP Switches and connected device Modbus IDs are set according to "Configure the DIP Switches" on page 2 .
Binding the serial data radios ensures all radios within a network communicate only with the other radios within the same network. The serial
data primary radio automatically generates a unique binding code when it enters binding mode. This code is transmitted to all radios within
range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/server is bound, the repeater/server radio accepts data only from the client radio to
which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same binding code.
Child (Server) Radios Synchronize to the Parent (Client) Radios
The synchronization process enables a Sure Cross radio to join a wireless network formed by a client radio. A simple point-to-point network
with one client radio and one server radio synchronizes quickly after power up; larger MultiHop networks may take a few minutes to synchro­
nize. First, all radios within range of the client data radio wirelessly synchronize to the client radio. These radios may be server or repeater
radios.
After repeater radios are synchronized to the client radio, any radios that are not in sync with the client but can "hear" the repeater radio will
synchronize to the repeater radios. Each repeater “family” that forms a wireless network path creates another layer of synchronization
process. When testing the devices before installation, verify the radios are at least two meters apart or the communications may fail.
MultiHop Configuration Software
Use Banner’s MultiHop Configuration Software to view your MultiHop radio network and configure the radio and its I/O.
Apply power to all radios and place the R70SR radio at least two meters away from the client radio. 1.
Remove the cover. See "Open the Cover" on page 2 . 2.
On the client radio: Triple­click the binding button to put the client radio into binding mode.
Both LEDs flash red. 3.
On the R70SR: Triple­click the binding button to put the R70SR into binding mode.
The radio enters binding mode and searches for any client radio in binding mode. While searching for the client radio, the two red
LEDs flash alternately. When the radio finds the client radio and is bound, both red LEDs are solid for four seconds, then both red
LEDs flash simultaneously four times.
4.
Re­install the R70SR's cover. 5.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for as many radios as are needed for your network. 6.
On the client radio: After all radios are bound, double­click the binding button to exit binding mode on the client.
The network begins to form after the client data radio exits binding mode. 7.
On the client radio: Re­install the cover to protect the button and radio board. 8.
