Step 3: Apply Power
1. Apply power to the Gateway by connecting 10–30V dc as shown in the wiring diagram.
2. Apply power to the Node by connecting 10–30V dc or the DX81 Battery Supply Module as shown.

* Only use pin 5 (gray wire) for radios capable of being powered by solar or battery modules.
** For solar and battery-powered radios, do not apply more than 5.5V dc to pin 5 or the B+ terminal.
For more details, refer to your specific devices’ datasheets.
Step 4: Bind the Radios to Form Networks
Binding Nodes to their Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with that Gateway. A Gateway and its Nodes will not
communicate until the Gateway teaches the Nodes the binding code. Verify the radios are at least two meters apart before binding
the radios. For radios transmitting at 1 Watt, move the radios three meters apart. Bind the radios before installing them to their final
locations.
On the Gateway
1. Triple click button 2 to enter binding mode. If your Gateway has only one button, triple click the button.
The red LEDs flash. Any Node entering binding mode will bind to this Gateway.
On the Node
2. Triple click button 2 to enter binding mode. If your Node has only one button, triple click the button.
The Node enters binding mode and locates the Gateway also in binding mode. After the Node is bound, the LEDs are both solid
red for a few seconds. The Node cycles its power and enters RUN mode.
3. Use both rotary dials to assign a Node address (device ID) between 01 and 47. The left rotary dial
represents the tens digit (0-4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0-9) of the Node address.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional Node that needs to communicate to that Gateway.
On the Gateway
5. Single click either button to exit binding mode. The Gateway cycles power and enters RUN mode.

Until communication is established with the Gateway, the Node’s LED 2 flashes red. When communication is established, the Node’s LED
1 flashes green.
When testing the Gateway and Node before installation, verify the Gateway and Node are at least two meters apart or the
communications may fail.
