Ranger Pro Gateway Mounting

Mounting accessories allow for limited adjustments for either pole or surface mounted
installations. For ease of installation, the gateway with attached mounting flanges can be
mounted after the main bracket has been installed. Remember to provide enough clearance
around the main bracket to allow for the gateway to be attached and cables connected.
Pole Mounting
Mount Ranger Pro Gateways to either a vertical or horizontal pole using the supplied mounting
accessories. The mounting main bracket is attached to the pole using the supplied mounting
support bracket and the two M8x120 fasteners and washers as shown in the following figure.
14/46
Figure 3 - 1: Pole mounting
Surface Mounting
For surface mounting, the customer can use an M8 or 5/16" fastener and washer (not supplied)
with a minimum length of > 36 mm depending on the surface (see figure above). Ensure that the
mounting surface is able to support the weight of the gateway as well as any additional strain
applied by the cables connected to the gateway.
Ranger Pro Gateways can also be mounted directly into instrument panels or enclosures using
the supplied mounting accessories.
Figure 3 - 2: Surface mounting
15/46
Outdoor Mounting
When installing outdoors, the gateway should be mounted upright, and the supplied connector
guard must be installed to protect against UV exposure as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 3 - 3: Connector guard installed for protection against UV exposure
Ground Connection
Ranger Pro Gateways must be grounded using a suitably gauged grounding wire connected to
the grounding lug attachment point on the enclosure.
Surge Protection
The following information is intended only as guidelines and does not replace the need for surge
protection assessment and installation by a suitably qualified person. General guidelines for
surge arrester selection and application principles are given in standards such as:
l IEC 61643-12: Low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 12: Surge protective devices
connected to low-voltage power systems - Selection and application principles.
l IEC 61643-22: Low-Voltage Surge Protective Devices - Part 22: Surge Protective Devices
Connected To Telecommunications And Signalling Networks - Selection And Application
Principles.
Refer to your site-specific requirements for selection and installation of surge arresters.
16/46
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.
17/46
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.
18/46
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.
We recommend using shielded Ethernet cable for outdoor installations or locations with high
levels of electromagnetic interference.
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
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.

(UTC). The time must be manually adjusted to include the UTC offset for the gateway to reflect
the host time.
We recommend using UTC time. When setting the time to include the UTC offset, ensure that all
related system times are adjusted to reflect the same UTC offset.

To change the join key:
1. Select Network > System Manager.

2. Expand the System Manager Provision.
3. Change the Join Key as required.
4.3 Provision Field Devices (ISA100)

The Ranger Pro Gateway does not currently support OTA provisioning. Ranger Pro configuration
software is able to manually provision compatible Ranger Pro ISA100 field devices. Refer to the
Ranger Pro User Guide (125M6113).
Before deploying Ranger Pro ISA100 field devices, we recommend you provision each device to
join your network. Depending on the number of field devices and their current sleep state,
provisioning can take up to several hours.
When you provision the device, you:

l Set the network ID to match the gateway network ID.
l Set the network join key to match the gateway network join key.
4.4 Configure Field Devices

Once Ranger Pro field devices have joined the network, they can be configured using the Ranger
Pro Gateway web interface.
You can configure these options:

l Tag (up to 16 Characters)
l Role (IO (Default), Router and Router IO) (ISA100)
To configure device Tag:
35/46
l Select Network > relevant device in the device list.

l Expand the Device Information.
l Change the Device Tag as required.
To configure device Role(ISA100):

l Change the Device Role as required.
To implement changes, you must reboot the devices. For details, see Reboot Field Devices on
page 46.
36/46
5. Verification
5.1 Verify Network Connectivity
Ranger Pro Gateways can send data or commands to, and receive data from, Ranger Pro field
devices over a wireless network. Information such as Data on Demand (DoD), configuration
change requests, and vibration and temperature data, is transfered between the gateway and
the client through the ISA100 General Client Interface (GCI). Data received by the gateway can
also be published by Modbus.
To send data or commands or collect data using the GCI, the user must have installed the
relevant versions of Bently Nevada System 1 Software and the Ranger Pro Core plugin.
Furthermore, dynamic data is only sent to the user using GCI.
Refer to the Ranger Pro User Guide (document 125M6113) for more information regarding
configuring and verifying Ranger Pro field device network connectivity.
Verify Network Joining

To verify that your field devices have joined your network, use the Ranger Pro Gateway web
interface. It can take several hours for many Ranger Pro field devices to join your network.
If a provisioned field device fails to join your network after several hours, try these options:
Verify / Reboot the Ranger Pro Device

l Reboot the Ranger Pro field device. This increases how often the device attempts to join
the network. Refer to the Ranger Pro User Guide (document 125M6113) for more information.
l Verify that the device is correctly provisioned. ISA100 field devices must be in a provisioned
state with the correct Network ID and join key to join the network.
l Verify the device's network connection. Dismount the device from the machine and
position it closer to the relevant Ranger Pro Gateway.
l Improve the device's radio frequency communication by reorienting the device's axis
relative to the gateway. Optimal RF communication occurs when the device's x-axis is in
the horizontal plane." (See the Ranger Pro User Guide, 125M6113, for more details).
Add a Routing Device (ISA100)

l In areas that have weak RF coverage (for example, where RSSI < -78 dB), configure a
Ranger Pro ISA100 field device to enable routing or, preferably, add a Ranger Pro ISA100
repeater.
l Use the Ranger Pro Gateway web interface to verify, and if necessary, enable the router
function of each ISA100 field device.
l Verify that each Ranger Pro field device has a good network connection.
l Remember to stay within the recommended number of hops per device (4 hops).
Remember that using an ISA100 sensor as a router decreases its battery life.
37/46
Ranger Pro Gateway device managers limit the number of field devices connected to the
gateway. This could be any combination of IO, Router, or Router IO devices up to a total of 50
devices. Up to 9 child devices may connect to each router enabled device. The maximum
number of hops between the Ranger Pro Gateway and a Ranger Pro field device should be
limited to 4.
Move the Device or Gateway

Relocating a field device or reorienting its axis or orientation relative to the gateway as little as 6
cm (2 1/3 inch), or one-half of a 2.4 GHz wavelength, may improve signal strength.
Change Gateway
Change the gateway deployment by using the authorized 6dBi higher gain antenna on the
gateway. Verify that the resulting narrowly focused radio frequency distribution pattern meets
your needs. You can also add additional gateways.
Verify Signal Strength

Check that the devices' signal strength and packet error rate are within guidelines. Use your
Ranger Pro Gateway web interface to monitor device signal strength and packet error rates.
Signal strength (RSSI) should be above -85 dBm, and preferably above -78 dBm.
Validate Device Data

Using the Ranger Pro Gateway device-manager web-interface, verify the publication status and
that the measurements are displayed in the Readings tab.
