6. Single click button 2 to enter XADR mode. When the display reads (AUTO), single click button 2 again to begin the
automatic binding mode.
The LEDs flash alternately when the Gateway is in binding mode. Any Node entering binding mode will bind to this
Gateway. The Gateway's LCD displays NETWRK BINDNG.
7. On the Node: remove the top cover.
8. Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position.
Extended address mode is activated using DIP switch 1.
9. Apply power to the Node.
The Node's LCD displays POWER, then *RUN.
10. On the Node, single click button 1 to advance across the menus, stopping at the DVCFG menu.
The Node's LCD displays (DVCFG).
11. Single click button 2 to enter the DVCFG menu.
12. Single click button 1 to select from the available submenu options, stopping at XADR.
The Node's LCD displays (XADR).
13. Single click button 2 to enter the XADR submenu.
14. When the display reads (AUTO), single click button 2 to begin the automatic binding mode.
The Node enters binding mode. The Node's LCD displays NETWRK BINDNG. When the Node is bound, the LEDs are
both solid red for a few seconds. The Node cycles its power, then enters RUN mode.
15. Use both of the Node’s rotary dials to assign a decimal Node address between 01 and 47.
The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0–4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0–9) of the device
address.
16. Repeat steps 7 through 15 for each additional Node that needs to communicate to that Gateway.
17. On the Gateway: single click button 1 or button 2.
When button 1 or 2 is pressed, the Gateway exits binding mode and reboots. The Gateway's LCD displays POWER, then
*RUN.
For devices with batteries integrated into the housing, remove the battery for one minute to cycle power to the device.
After making any changes to DIP switch settings, you must cycle power to the device or the DIP switch changes will not be
recognized.
5.5 Setting the Maximum System Devices
To set the maximum number of devices in your system, use the MAXN submenu, located under the *DVCFG (Device
Configuration) menu.
Selecting the maximum number of system radio devices (Gateway and all Nodes) changes the timing for the wireless
network. For example, if you are running four Nodes in your wireless network, set the system's maximum device count to
8. This allows up to 8 radio devices, including the Gateway, in the wireless network and offers the highest throughput,
62.5 milliseconds, for each Node. The choices are 8, 16, 32, and 48 devices.
5.6 Storage Mode and Sleep Mode
While in storage mode, the radio does not operate. All SureCross ® radios powered from an integrated battery ship from
the factory in storage mode to conserve the battery. To wake the device, press and hold button 1 for 5 seconds. To put
any FlexPower ® or integrated battery SureCross radio into storage mode, press and hold button 1 for 5 seconds. The radio
is in storage mode when the LEDs stop blinking, but in some models, the LCD remains on for an additional minute after
the radio enters storage mode. After a device has entered storage mode, you must wait 1 minute before waking it.
During normal operation, the SureCross radio devices enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of operation. The radio
continues to function, but the LCD goes blank. To wake the device, press any button.
5.7 Modbus Communication Parameters
To access the Modbus device, you may first need to configure system-level communication parameters on the Gateway.
The following procedures are necessary to change the Gateway's slave ID, baud rate, and parity. Setting up the Network
and Device IDs, powering up the devices, and conducting the Site Survey for a host-connected network is the same as for
the non-host DX80 or DX80 Performance wireless system. All device I/O for the network is accessed using the host/master
device.
