SureCross® FlexPower® Nodes

The most basic SureCross® sensor network includes a Gateway system controller and one or more Nodes that monitor and/or control I/O in remote locations.

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. Refer to the 3D Models page to download AutoCAD, STEP, IGES, and PDF models.

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. There are many possible installation configurations for your wireless network. Refer to the System Layouts webpage for a few examples or download the System Layouts document for more detailed examples of some wireless networks.

SureCross Performance FlexPower Nodes

These SureCross Performance Nodes are designed to function with the SureCross Performance Gateways, but may be also be configured to work with the existing DX80 Gateways. Refer to the 3D Models page to download AutoCAD, STEP, IGES, and PDF models.

  • Enhanced Nodes offer increased range in the 900 MHz frequency band
  • High density I/O capacity provides up to 12 discrete inputs or outputs or up to four temperature inputs (thermocouple or RTD)
  • New “environmental” housing option provides integrated battery and wiring terminals all in one unit
  • Universal analog inputs allow current or voltage to be selected in the field

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.
