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. Use the MultiHop H6 and H6D radios to convert Banner 1-wire serial sensors into a wireless input that can
be used in a tree or mesh type MultiHop network.
Benefits
• Deliver factory automation or IIoT solutions by connecting any Banner 1-wire serial sensor for applications such as:
◦
Ultrasonic distance measurement for tank level monitoring, distance sensing, etc
◦
Vibration and temperature monitoring for predictive maintenance motor health
◦
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 link
performance
• Large D cell battery in the H6 gives extended battery life on a tree or mesh type MultiHop network
• 10–30 V dc powered H6D eliminates the need for battery replacement and handles continuous data sampling and reporting
• External antenna gives the option to extend antennas to proper location and/or replace with a higher dB gain antenna
(Internal Battery Model)
(10 to 30 V DC Model)
• 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
• DIP switches for user configuration
• 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
