SureCross User Configuration Tool
The User Configuration Tool (UCT) software runs on any Windows machine and uses a converter cable to connect your
Gateway to the computer.
The User Configuration Tool (UCT) offers an easy way to link I/O points in
your wireless network, view I/O register values graphically, and set system
communication parameters when a host system is not part of the wireless
network. Download the most recent revisions of the UCT software from

.
The UCT requires a special USB to RS-485 (model number BWA-UCT-900 for
1 Watt radios, BWA-HW-006 can be used for all other radios) converter
cable to pass information between your computer and the Gateway.
Setting Up Your Wireless Network
To set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps.
Disconnect the power from your SureCross devices.
1. Configure the DIP switches of all devices.
2. Connect the sensors to the SureCross devices.
3. Apply power to all devices.
•
For two LED models, the Gateway's LED 1 is solid green and the Node's LED 2 flashes red to indicate there is no
radio link to the Gateway.
•
For one LED models, the Gateway's LED is solid green and the Node's LED flashes red to indicate there is no radio
link to the Gateway.
4. Form the wireless network by binding the Nodes to the Gateway. If the binding instructions are not included in the
datasheet, refer to the product manual for binding instructions.
5. Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other.

6. Conduct a site survey between the Gateway and Nodes. If the site survey instructions are not included in this
datasheet, refer to the product manual for detailed site survey instructions.
7. Install your wireless sensor network components. If installation instructions are not included in this datasheet, refer to
the product manual for detailed installation instructions.

Configure the DIP Switches
Before making any changes to the DIP switch positions, disconnect the power. DIP switch changes will not be recognized if
power isn't cycled to the device. For devices with batteries integrated into the housing, remove the battery for at least one
minute.
Accessing the DIP Switches (Metal Housing)
The DIP switches are located behind the rotary dials. Mount the radio cover back onto the pins attached to the screw
terminal board.
To access the DIP switches, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew and remove the top of the DX99 metal housing. The top section is the section with the glass window.
2. Pull the radio cover section off the screw terminal board base. The radio cover is held to the screw terminal board using
two pins.
