WARNING
HIGHENERGYDISCHARGEHAZARD
RISKOFPERSONALINJURYOREQUIPMENTDAMAGE
Selection and installation of surge protectors as per these
standards does not completely eliminate the possibility of
personal injury or equipment damage due to lightning or
similar surges, but it does sufficiently protect persons and
equipment from the majority of these hazards.
Cabling and equipment are susceptible to induced surges from lightning as well as power
generation equipment. The risk related to each source is different based on installation location.
The purpose of a surge arrester is to protect persons and equipment from electrical surges
induced by lightning, static discharge, or other high-voltage electrical faults.
Surge arresters must be appropriately grounded using dedicated conductors connected
directly to earth ground instead of locally available grounding points as these could be at a
higher potential than a direct earth connection.
Indoor Connection
When equipment and cabling is installed within an enclosed environment, the risk related to
lightning is less since enclosures such as buildings would typically have lightning protection
features incorporated by design. However, there are still risks to persons and equipment from
sources of surges within the enclosed environment. Where surges over 1 kV can occur, additional
surge suppressors should be installed on the relevant equipment ports to protect from
supply-side surges.
Partial Indoor / Outdoor Installation
The same consideration for supply-side surges as in indoor installation are relevant when the
equipment is installed within a lightning-protected, enclosed environment and cabling to
associated equipment extends into an area with no direct lightning risk.
Lightning-induced EMP can result in very high current and voltage levels in the system. Where
cabling and associated equipment may be exposed to lightning induced EMP, appropriate surge
arresters should be selected and installed at the point where the cabling or associated
equipment enters the protected environment.
Outdoor Installation
When equipment is installed in an area outside of a lightning-protected, enclosed environment
with no direct lightning risk, appropriate surge arresters should be selected and installed
between the equipment and further connected equipment within the protected area and
between the equipment and any associated equipment outside of the protected area.

WARNING
AUTHORIZED ANTENNAS ONLY
Do not use unauthorized antennas with this equipment. Only
the specified antennas as outlined are permitted. Approval to
operate the equipment is conditional upon use of authorized
antennas and correct installation.
Antenna Installation
WARNING
PROFESSIONAL ANTENNA INSTALLATION ONLY
The equipment and antenna must be professionally installed
in accordance with the requirements specified in this
document. See the compliance section for a list of authorized
antennas.
When the equipment is mounted outdoors it must be fixed and mounted on outdoor
permanent structures and the antennas must not be co-located with any other antenna or
transmitter device and have a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
Depending on the type used, antennae can be connected directly to Ranger Pro Gateways or
can be mounted remotely. Remote antennae can be connected to Ranger Pro Gateways using
the optionally supplied antenna cables. If the antenna or equipment is mounted outside, a
surge arrester or multiple surge arresters should be used as appropriate and according to local
regulations.
Self-amalgamating tape must be used to seal the connections between gateways, surge
arresters, and antennae.
Plant Network Connection
Ranger Pro Gateways can be connected to the plant network using an appropriate ethernet
cable with the supplied RJ45 cable connector housing or the optional accessory cable supplied
by Bently Nevada. The gateway can be connected to a PoE switch, PoE adapter, or standard
network switch. When connecting to a standard switch, the device must be powered from an
external power supply.
The RJ45 Ethernet connection uses industry standard wiring connections. Either a standard or
cross-over cable may be used when connecting the device.
You must use only compliant (IEEE 802.3at Type 1) power supply equipment that
support Mode B (or midspan) and injects power on the Ethernet cable spare wire pairs
and not on the data wire pairs.

Ranger Pro ISA100 Wireless Gateway
User Guide 158M1430 Rev. -

When installing the gateway outdoors, you need to provide adequate UV protection for the
network cable connector. This can be done using a suitable enclosure or by mounting the
gateway upright and using the optional network and power cable connection guard.
Power Connection
When connected to a standard Ethernet connection, Ranger Pro Gateways require an external
power supply connection using the supplied A-coded M12 field-wireable connector or optional
M12 power-cable accesory.

WARNING
WARNING HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
The power over ethernet function may not be utilized in a
hazardous atmosphere. Only a suitable DC power supply may
be utilized to power the equipment in a hazardous area.
The power connection also serves as an optional secondary power supply connection when
using a PoE plant network connection. If needed, use the supplied A-coded M12 field-wireable or
optional M12 power cable accessory to connect to an external power supply to establish a
redundant power-supply connection.
A secondary power supply allows for continued operation. Switching between power supplies
causes the gateway to reboot and results in temporary loss of wireless connectivity.
The A-coded M12 connection uses these wiring connections.
