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.
• Wireless industrial I/O device with four thermocouple inputs, two NPN discrete inputs, one thermistor
input, and two NMOS discrete outputs
•

power options allow for 10 to 30 V dc, solar, and battery power sources for low power
applications.
• Self-healing, auto-routing RF network with multiple hops extends the network’s range
• Serial and I/O communication on a Modbus platform
• Message routing improves link performance
• DIP switches select operational modes: master, repeater, or slave
• Built-in site survey mode enables rapid assessment of a location’s RF transmission properties
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery within the
unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
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:
• 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.

Configuration Instructions
Setting 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.
