Configuration Instructions
Set the Radio Module DIP Switches
Before applying power to the device, set the radio module's DIP switches.
Default configurations are noted with (*).
DIP Switch 1: Radio Transmit Power900 MHz Models2.4 GHz Models
OFF *1 Watt (30 dBm) operation
ON250 mW (24 dBm) operation
The 900 MHz radios transmit at 1 Watt (30 dBm) or 250 mW (24 dBm). While the Performance radios operate in 1 Watt mode, they
cannot communicate with the older 150 mW radios. To communicate with 150 mW radios, operate this radio in 250 mW mode. For
2.4 GHz models, this DIP switch is disabled. The transmit power for 2.4 GHz is
Configure input 5 as a 32-bit synchronous counter at a maximum frequency of 20 Hz; disable input 6 (the
counter requires two registers)

Event Counter
To use the event counter, the measured (logic high) signal must be greater
than or equal to 25 ms. The 32-bit count is stored in I/O registers 5 and 6.
To zero out (clear) the event counter,
• Map an input/button on a Gateway to Node register 14 to clear the
counter when the input/button is activated; or
• From a host system, write a 1 (the output must transition from a zero
to a one to reset the counter) to Node register 14 or write a 5424
(0x1530) to Node control register 15.
RF firmware revision 5.3 or higher (on all products released after 3/20/2015) is
required to use this feature.
Bind the K70 to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices.
• For board-level modules, triple-click the button.
• For DXM models, under the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow button to highlight the Binding menu. Click ENTER.
On the board modules, the green/red LED
flashes. On the housed models, both LEDs flash red.
2. Assign the K70 a Node address using the Gateway's rotary dials or the DXM's arrow keys. Use the left rotary dial for the
left digit and the right rotary dial for the right digit. For example, to assign your K70 to Node 01, set the left dial to 0 and the
right dial to 1.
Valid Node addresses are 01 through 47.
3. Remove any components to access the circuit board in the radio module of the K70.
4. Enter binding mode on the K70 by triple-clicking the button.
The bicolor LED
and green for four seconds (looks amber), then it
flashes alternately while it searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the K70 is bound, the LED is red
flashes four times (looks amber). The K70 automatically exits binding
mode, cycles power, and enters Run mode.
5. For DXM Gateways, click BACK to exit binding for that specific Node address.
6. Label the Node with the assigned address for future references.
This makes it easier to identify the physical Node location within a multi-Node network.
7. Reassemble the components back onto the base.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as many K70 Wireless Indicator Lights as are needed for your network.
9. After binding all K70s, exit binding mode on the Gateway.
• For housed models, double-click button 2.
• For board-level modules, double-click the button.
• For DXM models, click BACK until you return to the main menu.
LED Behavior for the Nodes
Nodes do not sample inputs until they are communicating with the Gateway. The radios and antennas must be a minimum distance
apart to function properly. Recommended minimum distances are:

Node Status
Modes of Operation
Node Controlled. The wireless K70 Node can be operated similar to a wired model where the individual segments are activated by
a PLC or manual switch. In this scenario, the Gateway only monitors the status of the light segments. An example application
would be remotely monitoring the status of one or multiple machines from a single Gateway.
Gateway Controlled. In the Gateway-controlled mode, the K70 Node only requires 10 to 30 V dc power. Input signals sent from the
Gateway have full control over the status of all the segments. An example application would be a call-for-parts application with a
K70 Node mounted to a fork truck and the Gateway mounted in a work cell or stock room. When part pick-up or delivery is
needed, the operator sends a signal to the fork truck driver. A multicolor K70 could be used when there are multiple pick-up or
delivery locations.
The User Configuration Software offers an easy way to link I/O points in your wireless network, view I/O register values, and set
system communication parameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network. The software runs on any computer
with the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 operating system.
Use a USB to RS-485 adapter cable to connect a standalone DX80 Gateway to the
computer. For DXM Controllers with an internal DX80 radio, connect a computer to the
DXM Controller using a USB or Ethernet connection. Download the most recent revisions
of the configuration software from Banner Engineering's website:
www.bannerengineering.com/wireless.
The USB to RS-485 adapter cable is not required for the DXM Controller. For standalone
DX80 Gateway devices use:
• USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-UCT-900 for 1 Watt radios
• USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-HW-006 for all other radios
Creating Flash Patterns

achieve this flash pattern.
Flash a K70 light by entering a time-based bit mask into the Duty Cycle parameter for that output register. Bit 0 represents the first
62.5 ms time window, bit 1 represents the second 62.5 ms window, etc.
For example, turn ON the output from 0 to 250 ms, OFF from 250 to 500 ms, ON from 500 to 750 ms, then OFF again from 750 ms
to 1 second by writing 0x0F0F to the appropriate output.
