In industrial applications, there can be no compromise for truly robust, secure
communication that ensures system operational integrity. That’s why Banner built its
own RF model based on essential sensing requirements with bidirectional Rx/Tx
communication capabilities.
True wireless operation means integrated power not only for communications, but
also for operating the attached sensor. Banner developed an innovative
Flex
Power™
solution that offers years of continuous operation. Innovation in wireless power
management combines ideally with Banner’s ability to design advanced sensors that
consume less power. SureCross also accommodates DC line, battery or solar power for
complete application flexibility.
SureCross represents a quantum leap in wireless capabilities with deterministic
response—a system that lets you define actions and system responses to
communication interruptions or failures. Each SureCross device features a bidirectional
transceiver to fully acknowledge data transmission. The Gateway directs Nodes in the
network to respond with specific actions to a communication failure by driving user-
defined outputs to a default condition. Once the RF link is re-established, the network
automatically returns to normal operation.
SureCross uses a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission
method to minimize radio interference, ensuring that the message gets
through and providing integral security. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
slots provide guaranteed bandwidth to each connected Node. Polling and Site
Survey capabilities ensure communication integrity. SureCross offers both 900 MHz
and 2.4 GHz models, allowing you to deploy advanced wireless capabilities
anywhere in the world.
Gateways and Nodes are rugged, completely integrated and packaged solutions designed
for mounting flexibility, extreme durability and plug-and-play installation. Wiring terminals
are readily accessible without removal from mounting. The compact housings come
equipped with quick-disconnect connectors for power and communication, four cable
glands and a large threaded

2
-inch NPT port for added flexibility.
Configure your SureCross wireless network with Gateway and Node components set to
your specifications. Or choose SureCross Kits that are configured for a number of common
applications. Either way, Banner can help you select the exact components, tailor your
solution, or help you choose a kit that delivers the performance you need. Banner
Application Engineers are available to provide SureCross configurations that integrate
seamlessly into your legacy systems and solve your most demanding applications.

SureCross
™
. Purpose-built by Banner.
While wireless monitoring is far from new, Industry has had to wait patiently for robust
bidirectional network devices that offer a feature set designed specifically to meet the demands of
manufacturing, processing and challenging commercial applications.
The wait is over.
Banner designed and built the SureCross network using over 40 years of application expertise and
sensor innovation. Unlike other wireless devices, Banner started with the high-performance needs of
Industry and developed a system that meets those needs. The result is a superior network with exclusive
features, engineered and built by the sensor experts trusted worldwide.
