WARNING
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Potential electrostatic charging hazard.
Before cleaning or inspecting Ranger Pro devices in a
potentially hazardous environment, verify that hazardous
materials, atmospheres and conditions have been removed.
To select a machine mounting position and hardware:
1. Choose a mounting position on the machine housing.
a. Verify there is enough clearance to mechanically install the sensor when using the
provided wrench.
b. Locate the device to obtain optimal vibration measurements.
c. Verify radio connectivity. To improve connectivity, we recommend at least 100mm (4
inches) clearance around the e-module on the top of the device. For more
see Consider Sensor Range on page 12.
2. Determine what kind of mount you want to use.
a. We recommend you drill and tap a mounting hole.
o
Verify that the machine housing is suitable for drilling a mounting hole.
o
Refer to the machine warranty or other documentation.
o
Consider the type of Ranger Pro device you want to mount.
o
Consider placement on the machine relative to its axis.
b. If drilling a mounting hole is not feasible, use an adhesive mounting pad instead. See
"About Using Adhesives" below.
c. Select either a standard stud, adhesive stud, or tri-axial alignment stud. For details
and ordering information, see the
Ranger Pro Datasheet
(document 125M5237)
d. If you're mounting a tri-axial Ranger Pro device, it can be difficult to align the
device to the axis of the machine being monitored. We recommend you use
the tri-axial alignment studs available as spare mounting adapters described
in the
Ranger Pro Datasheet
(document 125M5237). Also see "About Using
Adhesives" below.
