DX80 Quick Start Guide

GETTING STARTED – NETWORK SETUP

Quick Start: STEP 1

The Banner DX80 wireless system is a network of devices
consisting of a Gateway and Node(s).

The network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned
to the Gateway and its Node(s). Additionally, each device
within this common network (NID) must have a unique
Device Address assigned.

Use the Rotary Switches (shown right) to define both the
NID and Device Address for each device. Follow the steps
below to set up your DX80 network.

User Action Display/Status Notes

Remove rotary switch access covers.

On the Gateway, set the Left Rotary Switch to 1.

On all Nodes (within the same network), set the Left

SET NETWORK IDSET DEVICE ADDRESS

Rotary Switch to 1.

On the Gateway, set the Right Rotary Switch to 0.

On the first Node (Device Address = 1), set the Right
Rotary Switch to 1.

Network ID (NID) Device Address

> Set Network ID & Device/Node Address

Rotary Switches on

Gateway & Node

Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise
to tighten

The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1

Assign the same NID to all devices within a
single network (0-15). A-F is 10-15 respectively.

A Device Address of 0 on the Gateway will
display settings for the Gateway itself. To view
settings for another device on the network, adjust
the Right Rotary Switch on the Gateway to the
respective Device Address.

On the second Node (Device Address = 2), set the
Right Rotary Switch to 2.

Continue setting the Device Address for each additional
Node using a unique number (..3,4,5).

Install rotary switch access covers.

Multiple Networks:

When more than one network is
operating in the same space, assign
a unique Network ID (NID) to each
network (shown right).

A successful RF link is identified by:

• The Gateway’s LED 1 is Green

• The Node(s) LED 1 is Flashing Green

GETTING STARTED – APPLY POWER

DX80 Quick Start Guide

Quick Start: STEP 2

To apply power to the Gateway, connect 10-30V dc cable as shown.

Apply power...

The LCD display shows
the current I/O status of
the Gateway.

3 = BLUE

1 = BROWN

Brown 1 10-30V dc Input

Blue 3 Ground Input

> Apply Power, Gateway

This reading occurs only at
initial application of power to the
Gateway.

The Gateway starts in RUN mode.

... Gateway (Device Address = 0)

Indicates the current status of the
I/O. The display will cycle through
each I/O point of the device, then
return to *RUN.

Quick Start: STEP 3

> Apply Power, Node

To apply power to the Node, connect 10-30V dc cable or DX81 Battery Module as shown.

Apply power...

The LCD display shows
the current I/O status of
the Node.
