Description
VP Series 2000 sensors measures temperature, acceleration, and velocity. Ranger Pro sensors detect
acceleration using piezoelectric ceramic sensing elements in the sensor base. The sensors derive velocity
from the acceleration signal. The Ranger Pro sensors also measure surface contact temperature using a
sensor in the device base. The sensor reports a single temperature per device. You can choose what
units are used to measure the data.
Temperature
A sensor embedded in the device base measures contact temperature.
Acceleration Overall
Discrete, piezoelectric sensing elements measure acceleration in the Z-axis
for single axis VP Series 2000 wireless sensors and in the X, Y and Z
directions for tri-axial VP Series 2000 wireless sensors. Overall acceleration
is calculated over 2.5 seconds.
Velocity Overall
Calculated from the acceleration waveform and the overall value is
calculated over a 2.5 second duration.
There are various versions of the device:
VP2000-01 ISA100.11a
Sensor
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
VP2000-02-01
WirelessHART
Tri-Axial Sensor
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
VP2030 ISA100.11a
Tri-Axial Sensor
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
VP2010 ISA100.11a
Single Axis Sensor
Detects velocity and acceleration in one axis (vertical, or Z) only and
measures surface temperature.
NR1210 ISA100.11a
Repeater
Enables you to extend the range between sensors and ISA100 backbone
routers.
For ISA100 networks, both the tri-axial and single axis sensors can also act as routers, although using the
router mode depletes the device battery more quickly.
If a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device cannot communicate with a backbone router, you can use the
VP Series 2000 ISA100 repeater (NR1210) or a VP Series 2000 ISA 100 device with routing enabled to
extend your ISA100 network. Although a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device can route up to 8 devices, we
recommend no more than three.

Network Design
VP Series 2000 devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band used by ISA100.11a and WirelessHART networks. To
enhance security, the devices use 128-bit AES encrypted packets.
! NOTE
The installation and configuration of wireless networks is beyond the scope of this user guide. For
details, see your vendor's wireless network documentation.
Setup Overview
To add VP Series 2000 devices to your wireless network, complete these steps:
1. Survey your installation location.
2. Decide where to install VP Series 2000 devices and identify mounting points.
3. Locate and install backbone routers or access points as applicable.
4. Locate and install a device manager or gateway as applicable.
5. Install batteries in each device.
6. Provision VP Series 2000 devices.
7. Mount devices.
8. Test and verify your installation.
9. Monitor and maintain your devices and network.
Consider Sensor Range
A VP Series 2000 device can transmit data up to 150 meters (164 yards) to a router or access point when
unimpeded by environmental influences. A device can typically transmit data to another device up to
100 meters (109 yards) or more, but greater distances may negatively affect performance.
The range of VP Series 2000 devices is affected by several factors, including:
•Device location
•Line of sight to routing devices or access points
•Proximity to routing devices or access points
•Routing device or access point antenna type
•Orientation of the e-module
•Obstacles, 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.

Consider Battery Life
Batteries for VP series 2000 devices have a typical life of five years under the following conditions:
•VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensors are configured as a I/O device (not router).
•Ambient temperatures under 40°C (104°F).
•Good quality radio frequency communications.
•Measurement interval of 30 minutes or more.
•Dynamic measurement intervals of 1 day or more.
To maximize VP Series 2000 device battery life:
•Minimize the number of hops between devices and backbone routers or access points. Poor quality
radio frequency communications increase packet retransmission and reduce battery life.
•Avoid environments with elevated temperatures. Temperatures above 40°C (104°F) cause the device
to consume more power and the battery to discharge more quickly. Elevated temperatures can
reduce battery life by up to 40%.
•Avoid using VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensors as both I/O and routers. Using a sensor as a router can
reduce battery life to 18 to 24 months.
•Minimize the number of devices routed through VP Series 2000 ISA100 repeaters or sensors with
routing enabled. Avoid connecting more than eight devices through a single VP Series 2000 ISA100
repeater, or more than five devices through a VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensor with routing enabled.
Since VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensors with routing enabled are continually in listen and transmit mode,
their battery life is less.
•Use the longest reasonable measurement interval to monitor vibration and temperature. More
frequent vibration measurements consume more power. For example, changing the interval from 30
to 10 minutes reduces battery life by about 30%.
Choose Network Topology
The most common network topologies are mesh and star-mesh hybrid topologies. ISA100 networks may
also have a star topology while WirelessHART networks inherently form mesh topologies. Your existing
network infrastructure may determine the number of devices you can connect to backbone routers
(ISA100) or access points (WirelessHART) or the maximum number of hops permitted. A star topology is
recommended for ISA100 networks, although you may use a combination of both star and mesh
topologies (hybrid topology), depending on your needs. Consult your network infrastructure
documentation for details.
Star Topology
A star topology is the most efficient method for building an ISA100 network. It is suitable for smaller
areas where all devices can directly communicate with a backbone router or an access point.

DIVIGRAPH
Rev 2.4.1
September 2021
Proprietary & Confidential – Copyright © 2020 Divigraph (Pty) Ltd. All Rights Reserved 11
Mesh Topology
A mesh topology creates redundant communication paths for devices on the network. Mesh topologies
are suitable for networks that cover a large area. When planning a mesh network, it is critical to avoid a
choke point, where many devices attempt to connect to a single point. Avoid network topologies that
require more than three hops and too many devices routed through a single device, creating a choke
point.
Plan Device Placement
We recommend a site survey and device placement plan for wireless installations. To plan device
placement, obtain or develop an accurately scaled site plan detailing the placement of the machinery
you need to monitor, including architectural details like walls and pillars. Then complete a site survey
and plan.
To develop a survey and plan:
1. On the accurately scaled site plan, mark the locations where you need to install sensors.
•Mount sensors as close as possible to the machine point being monitored.
•To avoid destructive interference, install devices at least 500 mm (20 inches) apart.
•Whenever possible, avoid obstructions such as machinery or walls that might “hide” devices
from routing devices or access point antennae.
•Allow clearance for mechanical installation and suitable clearance around the top (100 mm or 4
inches).
•If possible, install devices at least two meters (6 ½ feet) above ground level with clear line of site
to at least two other devices.
2. Determine the optimal wireless range for each device. Use the map scale and draw a circle
representing the nominal radio frequency range around the proposed location of each VP Series 2000
device. (When connecting to a backbone router or an access point, the range is about 50% greater).
3. Identify the locations of any existing gateways, routers, or access points.
•If you are installing sensors in extremely congested plant areas or in areas with insufficient
wireless connectivity, consider installing additional gateways, backbone routers or access points.
•Add locations where you need to install additional gateways, backbone routers or access points.
When placing gateways, backbone routers or access points, consider the location of line power
and suitable connections to the existing plant network.
Place gateways, backbone routers or access points in locations so that as many devices as possible can
connect directly to each gateway, backbone router or access point.
Refer to your network hardware vendor documentation for the maximum number of devices supported.
When the device is placed among:
Draw a circle with:
Dense metal structures with no line-of-sight
25 m (82 ft) radius
Sparse metal structures with limited line-of-sight
50 m (164 ft) radius
Unobstructed, clear line-of-sight locations
100 m (328 ft) radius

! NOTE
Where possible, minimize the distance from the gateway, backbone router or access point to the
furthest VP Series 2000 device.
4. Plan for multiple connections for each device.
•Multiple communication paths in mesh networks are required to increase network redundancy
and prevent a single path failure that would result in a loss of communication.
•Depending on the circle (short, medium, or long) that applies to the location of each
VP Series 2000 device, verify that each device is within range of at least two, and preferably
three, routing devices or access points.
•Avoid connecting more than five devices through a single VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensor with
routing enabled, or more than eight devices through a single VP Series 2000 ISA100 repeater.
5. To extend the range of an ISA100 wireless network or to reach devices beyond the range of a gateway
or backbone router, consider adding VP Series 2000 repeaters. Repeaters ought to be positioned:
•Relatively high above other devices, preferably at least two meters (6 ½ feet) above ground.
Higher placement dramatically increases signal strength.
•To improve radio frequency transmission, we recommend you install the repeaters upside down
and at least 33 cm (1 ft) from walls and pillars.
•Within a clear line of sight to two other repeaters or a backbone router.
6. Plan for a maximum of four hops between each VP Series 2000 device and a gateway, backbone
router or access point, although we recommend a maximum of three hops.
7. If your installation is complex or likely to require additional gateways, backbone routers or access
points, consider temporarily installing your network gateways, backbone routers or access points and
VP Series 2000 devices to test your plan. Use temporary magnetic mounting adapters to test device
placement.
To obtain optimal results, carefully plan your network. For complete information, see your network
infrastructure documentation.

on your network infrastructure, you can provision sensors over-the-air (OTA) using a gateway or
individually using a supported USB NFC reader.
When you provision a device, you provide it as needed with:
•The correct UTC adjustment
•A new network ID
•A new network join key
Depending on the number of devices and their current sleep state, provisioning may take up to several
hours. If a device fails to join the network, see the "Reboot the Device" section.

Before you Begin
If you are using a:
•Yokogawa or Honeywell ISA100 gateway, you must provision devices over the air.
•Bently Nevada Ranger Pro ISA100 gateway, Provision Using a USB NFC Reader.
•WirelessHART gateway, Provision Using a USB NFC Reader.
If a VP Series 2000 device is not available to be provisioned or does not immediately join the provisioned
network, it may be in a deep sleep state.
ISA100 Devices
VP Series 2000 ISA100 devices must be in an unprovisioned state to use over-the-air (OTA) provisioning
and join the network.
! NOTE
If over-the-air provisioning fails, you may be required to use the NFC reader and VP Series 2000
configuration software to reboot or unprovision the device.
WirelessHART Devices
VP Series 2000 WirelessHART devices are shipped with an assigned Network ID and Join Key. The default
WirelessHART device values are:
•Network ID: 32498
•Join Key: 00001631 00001631 00001631 00001631
Device Sleep State
If a VP Series 2000 device does not join the network, it may be in a sleep state. It periodically wakes
from the sleep state to attempt to join the network. To reset the sleep cycle, see “Reboot the Device”.
ISA100 Device Sleep State
Once you install a battery into a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device, it is ready to be provisioned over-the-air
or join the provisioned network. To conserve battery power, if a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device is not
provisioned within a certain period of time, it enters a sleep cycle. It periodically wakes from sleep mode
to attempt to join the network. To reset the sleep cycle, see “Reboot the Device”.
Interval after battery is inserted or sensor is
disconnected from a network:
