The XJ200 wireless communication modules are radio communication systems for controlling and supervising units. The XJ200 consists of the XJ200 radio module P/N 318-5050
and its power supply PW-200J P/N 318-5051.
The XJ200 can cover a variety of functions within the monitoring network:
• Master: when it is connected to the X-WEB or E2 monitoring system.
• Slave/Repeater: when it is connected to the subnets of devices equipped with RS485.
• Repeater: when it is assigned the function as a simple bridge towards other subnets
that cannot be reached directly by the master.
The XJ200 modules enable 2-way communication between Dixell devices/modules
equipped with an RS485 output that are appropriately connected to each other and the XWEB or E2 unit, thereby replacing the connection via an RS485 cable.
Up to 15 devices can be connected to the same XJ200 (communication between the module
and the devices is via RS485), thereby covering several workstations with the same communication module. Up to 30 XJ200 modules can be connected to one (1) master XJ200.
The maximum distance possible between the XJ200 modules in an open space (with no
obstacles) is 200 meters (656 feet approx.). This distance can be remarkably reduced in the
presence of interference such as radio emitters, generators of electrical or magnetic fields or
solid objects that can affect the proper communication between the XJ200 modules.
The range of serial addresses allowed on the instruments connected to the XJ200 modules is
from 1 to 244.
Note that in order to work with the XJ200 modules, the instruments must be equipped with
an RS485 serial port and use MODBUS-RTU communication protocol.

XJ200 Installation and Operating Instructions
Avoid horizontal or slanting positions.
Figure 5 - Correct Mounting Positions
Parts required for assembly (not supplied)
1. Mount the XJ200 to the fixing bracket using the two screws in the package.
2. The two screws are to be entered in holes “A” as shown in Figure 4.
3. The bracket can be bent and fixed so that the XJ200 is installed in a vertical position.
Recommendations for Proper Installations
• If possible, place the module high up in order to guarantee enhanced data transmission
or reception.
• If possible, avoid intermediate obstacles such as barriers, walls, floors and counters
between the modules.
• If necessary, pass through the obstacle using the cable and install the module on the
opposite side in order to have it in direct view with the master module connected to
the X-WEB or E2.
• The maximum distance possible between the XJ200 modules in an open space (with no
obstacles) is 200 meters (656 feet approx.).
• If the installation spans over a number of floors, try to position all the modules on the
same floor and connect the devices via cable in order to prevent communication problems due to obstacles caused by the floor or ceiling.

XJ200 Wireless New Installation Procedure
E2-XJ200 Master Connection
In the new installation, you need to find a location in the store that has a direct line of sight
with at least one or two wireless modules (slave modules) on the sales floor. If the system
performs up to four hops, those in the indirect view can find their way to the master wireless
module location to them.
Figure 12 - XJ200 Wireless
From the designated position, run a communication cable (three conductors) and wiring to
handle 24VAC, and depending on the distance, the wire gauge needs to be calculated. The
master module needs a power supply that takes 24 VAC and powers the wireless module
with 5VDC.

XJ200 Installation and Operating Instructions
Commissioning a New Network
Once the master and slave modules are installed, wired and powered, you now may follow
these steps:
1. Press the service button on each slave module. This operation will have the slave module
send the master the list of nodes connected to it for the master to build a communication
path (during this phase all three LEDs flash every second).
2. After one to two minutes, each slave module provides a status using the “RADIO” or
“RS485” LED during the testing phase.
• If there is a good communication path, the “RADIO” will have a green LED.
• If there is a communication problem, the “RS485” will have a yellow LED. Try adjusting
the module and repeat the process by pressing the service button.
3. When the network is ready to operate, start the acquisition procedure on the E2. The
slaves and master modules will start to communicate when the E2 requires information
to the MODBUS modules and starts coming online.
Removing a Node from the Wireless Network
The master module can recognize if a node is removed from the network. If a node is
removed, the master module will act as follows:
1. The master module enters to “discovery phase” to find a new path to reach the offline
nodes. While in this phase, lasting up to three seconds, the master disregards the messages coming from the E2.
2. After the three discovery phases (up to three seconds per phase), the master stops for 20
minutes in the discovery phase, and forwards the messages through the last known path.
Every 20 minutes a new discovery phase starts.
3. If the node is actually removed from the network, it must be deleted from the E2, to
avoid the master module to keep on starting the discovery phase.
4. To remove a slave module, unplug the E2 MODBUS from the master module and initiate a
discovery phase by pressing the service button, to create a new path.
Adding a Node to the Wireless Network
To add a node to the wireless network, refer to Commissioning a New Network.

remaining slave modules.
Ensure the line of sight to the
master is not obstructed.
Follow commissioning procedures for
supervisor controller.
Check the supervisory controller’s
communication summary for percentage of
lost packets. If problem remains constant
with one particular module, reposition that
module or add a repeater.
Slave module is not communicating with the
master. Press Test button on slave module
and allow ample time to establish
communication. If the yellow LED remains
on, reposition the slave module to improve
line of sight with the master.
Ensure that you have followed the
installation steps in the proper order. A good
communication path needs to be
established between the master and slaves
before connecting the supervisory controller
and commissioning devices. Install the
master as high as possible to ensure optimal
coverage.
Allow ample time for the master to
reconfigure the communication path. If
other modules do not return “on line” press
the Test button on the slave module that is
“off line”. If the module does not return “on
line”, it is possible that communication is
blocked. If this is the case, reposition the
slave module or add a repeater between the
master and slave.
Press the Test button and allow ample time
for the master to establish a new
communication path.

How to Verify Connection Quality Between the XJ200 Master and
the Other XJ200s in the Network
The following must be implemented in order to verify the connection quality between an
XJ200 and the master connected to the X-WEB or E2:
1. Connect and power the XJ200 Master to the X-WEB or E2.
2. Set the XJ200 in place where it is to be installed.
3. Power the XJ200 and press the Test button for a couple of seconds.
4. A test cycle begins and lasts a few minutes.
5. At the end of the cycle, the following remains on:
• Good communication: the GREEN “RADIO” LED is on.
• Insufficient communication: the YELLOW “RS485” LED is on; in this case, try installing
the XJ200 in a better position or connect another XJ200 between the Master and the
XJ200 being tested.
