1. Apply power to the Gateway by connecting the 10 to 30V dc cable as shown.
The Gateway begins in RUN mode, displays the current network ID (NID), then identifies itself as a Gateway.
2. Apply power to the Node by connecting the 10 to 30V dc cable or the DX81 Battery Supply Module as shown. To apply power to a
FlexPower Node with an integrated battery, install the battery into the housing.
The Node starts in RUN mode, displays the current network ID, then identifies itself as a Node and lists its device ID.
Binding Radios to Form Networks
Bindings Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to.
Apply power to the Gateway and the Node you are binding.
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. After binding your Nodes to the Gateway, make note of the binding code displayed under the *DVCFG menu, XADR
submenu on the LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all Nodes if your Gateway is ever replaced.
1. Put the Gateway in binding mode.

right and left rotary dials to F. Note that both rotary dials must be changed to F after applying power,
not before applying power.
The red LEDs flash alternately when the Gateway is in binding mode. Any Node entering binding mode will bind to this Gateway.

Remove the top cover and set both the left and right rotary dials to F to enter binding mode.
The Node enters binding mode and locates the Gateway in binding mode. With two LED models, the red LEDs flash alternately. With
one LED models, the red and green LED flashes alternately while the Node searches for the Gateway; after binding is complete, the
LED is red and green for four seconds (looks orange), then the red and green flash simultaneously (looks orange) four times. The
Node automatically exits binding mode. After the Node is bound, the LEDs are both solid red for a few seconds. The Node cycles its
power, then enters RUN mode.
