FlexPower Nodes

The FlexPower Nodes are slave devices for Banner's wireless sensor network, but can be powered by 10-30V dc, 3.6V Lithium D cell batteries, or solar power. FlexPower Nodes with batteries integrated into the housing can only be powered from the integrated battery. FlexPower Nodes are available with discrete I/O, analog I/O, a mix of discrete and analog I/O, and with special instrumentation configurations.

Models ending in C use external terminal blocks instead of internal terminal blocks. These C models are Class I, Division 2 certified when installed in a suitable enclosure. Certifications are listed on the Classified Areas page.

For a basic description of how antennas work, how to connect a remote antenna system, and the differences between omni and Yagi antennas, refer to Antenna Basics.

To order the internal antenna models, replace the "S" in the 9th digit with a "W." Internal antennas require an additional week for manufacture and shipping. For example, DX80N9X2S4N4 is the model number for the external antenna device and DX80N9X2W4N4 is the internal antenna device. The -CS1 Nodes are not available with the internal antenna.

Models with batteries integrated into the housing are so noted. For all other FlexPower models, the DX81 or DX81P6 Battery Supply Modules must be ordered separately to power these devices from battery.

M-GAGE

The M-GAGE Nodes detect the presence or absence of vehicles and are powered by a 3.6V lithium D cell integrated into the housing.
