installation, and practice diligent inspection procedures. Follow prescribed maintenance
procedures and dispose of obsolete components in compliance with applicable electronic
waste regulations.
2.2 Personal Safety Warnings
Labels and markings are provided to guide the system integrator in the processes of choosing
appropriate interface equipment, determining safe use conditions, and identifying
recommended installation procedures. The format of these markings are governed by the
standards that dictate safe use and environmental compliance in a variety of regions and

2.3 Product Safety Advisory
Ranger ProWireless Condition Monitoring Device use an accelerometer with a powerful magnet
base that can interfere with implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, and
other magnetically programmable medical devices. Do not use the accelerometer if you have
these medical devices.
Electromagnetic Exposure Hazard
WARNING
ELECTROMAGNETICEXPOSUREHAZARD
When installing a Ranger Pro device, a minimum separation
distance of 20 cm from any person must be maintained to
comply with relevant electromagnetic exposure regulations..
Safe Operating Procedure
When using Ranger ProWireless Condition Monitoring Device, observe these precautions:
lIf you have an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker, do not use or handle
Ranger ProWireless Condition Monitoring Device.
lKeep personal medical devices away from the accelerometer magnet base at all times.
lIf a personal medical device comes in close contact with the accelerometer magnet base,
contact your physician immediately.
8/87
Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring Device
User Guide 125M6113 Rev. G

lKeep devices sensitive to magnetic fields away from the accelerometer magnet base.
Such devices include but are not limited to credit cards, watches, and USB memory
storage drives.
Potential Electrostatic Charging Hazard
WARNING
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
lElectrostatic discharge could cause a spark that may ignite and cause an explosion. In
addition, electrostatic discharge could damage the product.
lUse extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30% tends to multiply the
accumulation of static charges on any surface.
Pinch Hazard
WARNING
PINCHHAZARD
Risk of personal injury.
Magnet mounts have the pull strength of up to 200 lbs.
Wear work gloves when handling.
The magnet mounting system uses a strong magnet for attaching the Ranger Pro devices to
ferrous metal surfaces. The mounting surface must be flat or larger in diamter than the magnet
mount assembly. Use care and protect your hands from injury by wearing work gloves.

Hazardous Environment: Transducers
WARNING
HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
Risk of explosive atmosphere.
Take precautionary measures to avoid electrostatic potential,
especially on plastic components.
Installations and maintenance tasks performed in potentially hazardous areas must be
performed only after the area has been verified to be free of hazardous materials, atmospheres,
and conditions.
The following situations could cause a spark enough to ignite an explosion:
lPotential of electrostatic discharge on plastic components
lRemoval or placement of an energized connection.
Lithium Batteries
WARNING
USE ONLY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BATTERIES
Xeno Energy XL-205F, Tadiran TL-5930, Tadiran SL-2780. Do not
use a device with a damaged e-module, O-rings, sensor
module, or battery. Using a damaged battery may further
damage the device, cause it to fail, or in hazardous locations
cause other unintended consequences.
The Ranger Pro device uses 3.6V lithium-thionyl chloride D-cell batteries. Lithium batteries are
volatile. When handling and storing lithium metal batteries, follow these precautions:
lStore and handle lithium metal batteries to avoid contact with other lithium batteries.
lDon't place lithium metal batteries on metal work surfaces.
lAvoid exposing lithium metal batteries to extreme temperatures.
lIf you store an inactive Ranger Pro sensor, remove the battery.
lDispose of depleted or defective batteries in keeping with applicable statutes and
regulations as well as site-specific safety requirements.
The lithium batteries will typically last up to five years. Use the Ranger Pro software or your
network vendor's application to monitor battery performance and replace batteries as needed.

If a battery has leaked, do not touch the corrosive electrolyte.
Inspect the battery for signs of impending failure, including:
lSwelling, deformation, or elongation
lIndentations or lifting of battery terminals
lMoisture or liquid on the battery surface
lChemical corrosion or deposits on the battery terminals
Follow your site’s hazardous materials handling procedures to dispose of damaged or leaking
batteries.

3.4 Description
The Ranger Pro wireless sensor measures temperature, acceleration, and velocity. Acceleration
is detected using sensing elements in the sensor base or sensing elements in tethered sensors.
Velocity is derived from the acceleration signal. The Ranger Pro sensors also measure surface
contact temperature using a sensor in the device base or in tethered sensors.
Temperature A sensor embedded in the device base measures contact
temperature.
Acceleration Overall Sensing elements measure acceleration in the Z axis for Uni-Axial Ranger Pro Wireless Sensors and in the X, Y and Z directions for Tri-Axial
and tethered Ranger Pro Wireless Sensors.
Velocity Overall Calculated from the acceleration waveform.
There are various versions of the device:
Tethered sensor
(70M503) Detects velocity and acceleration in three axis (X, Y, andZ) and measures surface temperature.
ISA100 interface
module (70M323) Transmits velocity, acceleration and temperature detected and measured by tethered sensors.
WirelessHART interface
module (70M423) Transmits velocity, acceleration and temperature detected and measured by tethered sensors.
WirelessHARTtri-axial
sensor (70M403) Detects velocity and acceleration in three axis (X,Y,andZ) and measures surface temperature.
ISA100 tri-axial sensor
(70M303) Detects velocity and acceleration in three axis (X,Y,andZ) and measures surface temperature.
ISA100 single axis
sensor (70M301) Detects velocity and acceleration in one-axis (vertical,orZ) only and measures surface temperature.
ISA100 repeater
(70M300) Enables you to extend the range between sensors and network access points.
For ISA100 networks, Ranger Pro sensors and interface modules can also act as routers, although
using the router mode depletes the unit’s battery more quickly.
If a Ranger Pro device cannot communicate with an backbone router, you can use the Ranger
Pro ISA100 repeater or a Ranger Pro ISA100 device enabled as a router to extend your network. We
recommend connecting no more than three Ranger Pro sensors to a Ranger Pro router,
although you may be able to connect up to eight.

4. Network Design
Ranger Pro sensors operate on the 2.4 GHz band on ISA100.11a and WirelessHARTnetworks. To
enhance security, the sensors use 128-bit AES encrypted packets.
Installing and configuring wireless networks is beyond the scope of this user guide. For
details, refer to your vendor's wireless network documentation.
Setup Overview
The Ranger ProWireless Condition Monitoring Device operates on the ISA100.11a and
WirelessHARTwireless network protocols. To add Ranger Pro sensors to your network, complete
these steps:
1. Survey your installation location.
2. Decide where to install Ranger Pro sensors and identify mounting points.
3. Locate and install access points.
4. Locate and install a device manager.
5. Install batteries in each sensor.
6. Provision Ranger Pro sensors (and repeaters, if needed).
7. Mount sensors.
8. Test and verify your installation.
9. Monitor and maintain your sensors and network.
4.1 Consider Sensor Range
A sensor can transmit data up to 150 meters (164 yards) to an access point when unimpeded by
environmental influences. A sensor can optimally transmit data to another sensor up to 100
meters (109 yards) or more, but greater distances may negatively affect performance.
The range of Ranger Pro devices is affected by several factors, including:
lDevice location
lLine of sight to routing devices or access points
lProximity to routing devices or access points
lRouting devices or access point antenna type
lOrientation of the e-module
lObstacles, including the density and type of materials nearby.
Generally, the denser the industrial environment, the weaker the signal.
You can mount devices in any orientation necessary to monitor the machine or connect to the
network. However, the radio transmission is strongest above and around the device, and
weakest below it. Generally, if you mount a device horizontally, we recommend aligning it with
the X-axis horizontal and Y-axis vertical.
