Configurable FlexPower MultiHop Data Radio for extending the range of a Modbus or serial communication networkSureCross® MultiHop data radios are wireless industrial communication devices used toextend the range of a Modbus or other serial communication network.• Selectable transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 Watt and license-free operation up to4 watt EIRP, with a high-gain antenna, in the U.S. and Canada for 900 MHz• FlexPower® power options allows for +10 to 30V dc, solar, and battery power sourcesfor low power applications.• Serial communication style (RS-232 or RS-485) is user selectable• Multiple hops allow for an extended range• Message routing improves link performance• Self-healing, auto-routing RF network with multiple hops extends the network’s range• DIP switches select operational modes: master, repeater, or slave• Built-in site survey mode enables rapid assessment of a location’s RF transmissionproperties• FHSS radios operate and synchronize automatically; selectable network IDs reduceinterference from collocated networks• Certified for use in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C, D Hazardous Locations whenproperly installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, the Canadian Elec-trical Code, or applicable local codes/regulations (see Specifications)For additional information, the most recent version of all documentation, and a complete list of accessories, refer to Banner Engineering'swebsite, www.bannerengineering.com/surecross.Models Power Frequency Transmit PowerDX80DR9M-H +10 to 30V dc or 3.6 to 5.5V dc lowpower option900 MHz ISM Band 250 mW or 1 Watt (DIP switch selectable)DX80DR2M-H 2.4 GHz ISM Band 65 mW (100 mW EIRP)WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel ProtectionNever use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to seriousinjury or death. This device does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow itsuse in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.CAUTION: Never Operate 1 Watt Radios Without AntennasTo avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never power up SureCross Performance or SureCross MultiHop (1Watt) radios without an antenna.MultiHop Radio OverviewMultiHop networks are made up of one master radio and many repeater and slave radios.The MultiHop networks are self-forming and self-healing networks constructed around a parent-child communication relationship. TheMultiHop Radio architecture creates a hierarchical network of devices to solve the most challenging wireless applications. A MultiHopRadio is either a master radio, a repeater radio, or a slave radio.• The single master device controls the overall wireless network.• The repeater mode allows for range extension of the wireless network.• The slave radios are the end point of the wireless network.At the root of the wireless network is the master radio. All repeater or slave radios within range of the master radio connect as children ofthe master radio, which serves as their parent. After repeater radios synchronize to the master radio, additional radios within range of theSureCross MultiHop Data RadioP/N 148345 Rev. B 2/26/20130 148345 1
