Address Mode
The SureCross wireless devices may use one of two types of addressing modes: rotary dial addressing or extended addressing. In
rotary dial address mode, the left rotary dial establishes the network ID and the right rotary dial sets the device ID. The wireless network
is restricted to a maximum of 16 devices.
Extended address mode uses a security code to "bind" Nodes to a specific Gateway. Bound Nodes can only send and receive informa-
tion from the Gateway to which they are bound. In extended address mode, wireless networks may contain up to 48 radio devices. For
more information on extended address mode, refer to the SureCross™ Wireless I/O Network product manual.
The device ships in rotary dial address mode by default, with the DIP switch in the OFF position. To use extended address mode, change
the DIP switch to the ON position.
Counter Input Type
For the selectable counter input, select from the two types of counters: frequency (rate) or event. By default this selectable counter input
is defined as a frequency (rate) counter.
The frequency counter calculates the frequency of the input signal, in Hz. The event counter counts the total number of times an input
signal changes to the high/ON/1 state. The counter values are saved in EEPROM every hour. After power up, the saved value is restored
as the beginning count. Setting the counter using the preset or clear functions saves the preset value or zeroes in EEPROM.
The counter increments on the falling edge of an input signal when the signal level crosses the threshold.
Discrete Input Type
Select the type of discrete input sensors to use with this device: sourcing (PNP) sensors or sinking (NPN) sensors.
Modbus/User Configuration Tool (UCT) or DIP Switch Configured
In Modbus/UCT Configured mode, the device parameters are changed using the User Configuration Tool (UCT) or a Modbus command.
All DIP switch positions are ignored. In DIP Switch Configured mode, use the DIP switches to configure the parameters listed in the table.
Report Rate
The report rate defines how often the device reports inputs to the Gateway. For FlexPower™ applications, setting the report rate/interval
to longer intervals extends the battery life.
DIP Switch Settings (Counter DIP Switches)
The counter input DIP switches define the characteristics of the counter inputs.
