Banner American Products Wireless Network manual SureCross. Purpose-built by Banner, Wait is over

SureCross™. Purpose-built by Banner.

While wireless monitoring is far from new, Industry has had to wait patiently for robust bidirectional network devices that offer a feature set designed specifically to meet the demands of manufacturing, processing and challenging commercial applications.

The wait is over.

Banner designed and built the SureCross network using over 40 years of application expertise and sensor innovation. Unlike other wireless devices, Banner started with the high-performance needs of Industry and developed a system that meets those needs. The result is a superior network with exclusive features, engineered and built by the sensor experts trusted worldwide.

In industrial applications, there can be no compromise for truly robust, secure communication that ensures system operational integrity. That’s why Banner built its own RF model based on essential sensing requirements with bidirectional Rx/Tx communication capabilities.

True wireless operation means integrated power not only for communications, but also for operating the attached sensor. Banner developed an innovative FlexPower™ solution that offers years of continuous operation. Innovation in wireless power management combines ideally with Banner’s ability to design advanced sensors that consume less power. SureCross also accommodates DC line, battery or solar power for complete application flexibility.

SureCross represents a quantum leap in wireless capabilities with deterministic response—a system that lets you define actions and system responses to communication interruptions or failures. Each SureCross device features a bidirectional transceiver to fully acknowledge data transmission. The Gateway directs Nodes in the network to respond with specific actions to a communication failure by driving user- defined outputs to a default condition. Once the RF link is re-established, the network automatically returns to normal operation.

Communications Integrity Assured

SureCross uses a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission method to minimize radio interference, ensuring that the message gets through and providing integral security. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) slots provide guaranteed bandwidth to each connected Node. Polling and Site Survey capabilities ensure communication integrity. SureCross offers both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz models, allowing you to deploy advanced wireless capabilities anywhere in the world.

All-in-One Packaged Solution with Plug-and-Play Connectivity

Versatile Configurations

Gateways and Nodes are rugged, completely integrated and packaged solutions designed for mounting flexibility, extreme durability and plug-and-play installation. Wiring terminals are readily accessible without removal from mounting. The compact housings come equipped with quick-disconnect connectors for power and communication, four cable glands and a large threaded 1/2-inch NPT port for added flexibility.

Configure your SureCross wireless network with Gateway and Node components set to your specifications. Or choose SureCross Kits that are configured for a number of common applications. Either way, Banner can help you select the exact components, tailor your solution, or help you choose a kit that delivers the performance you need. Banner Application Engineers are available to provide SureCross configurations that integrate seamlessly into your legacy systems and solve your most demanding applications.
