SureCross Power Solutions
The SureCross Power Solutions guide lists the various power options for SureCross devices. Also included in this guide is a battery life
calculation for some discrete and analog sensors, examples of solar power installations, and brief instructions explaining how to measure
your sensor's current draw and calculate the estimated battery life for your installation.
10 to 30V dc Power
For locations with power, the 10–30V dc devices offer an easy-to-install solution for sensing devices.
• 10–30V dc can power more sensors and more types of sensors to obtain the necessary data.
• The number of sensors powered by the SureCross device is only limited by the number of I/O points available.
• The Node may be set to high-speed I/O sample and reporting rates for quicker data collection.
What is FlexPower
®
?
Banner’s FlexPower
®
technology supplies a true wireless solution by allowing the device to operate using either 10 to 30V dc, 3.6V
lithium D cell batteries, or solar power. This unique power management system can operate a FlexPower Node and an optimized sensing
device for up to five years on a single lithium D cell.
• The FlexPower Node may be powered from 10 to 30V dc and use an external battery supply module to provide a battery back-up
solution.
• When a FlexPower Node receives 10 to 30V dc, it operates like a standard 10 to 30V dc Node.
• Good applications for FlexPower devices operating from batteries include sensors that require no or very little power, including dry
contacts, RTDs, and thermocouples.
The following FlexPower options are available:
• DX81, a single battery supply module;
• DX81P6, a 6-pack of lithium batteries;
• DX81H, a single battery supply module designed specifically to power the DX99 Intrinsically Safe devices with polycarbonate hous-
ings; and
• BWA-SOLAR-001, a solar power assembly that includes the solar panel, rechargeable batteries, and solar power controller.
