The functionality of EMPOWER modules is unlocked through applications and utilities developed
specifically for each module. For more information about using Trimble EMPOWER modules, refer to the
module documentation at
www.trimble.com/empowermodules .
Module functionality can also be directly integrated into field software by developers with access to the
Trimble EMPOWER Developer Program using system and module SDKs and APIs. Module Developer Kits
are also available to quickly prototype custom modules. For more information on the developer
resources and tools available for the Ranger 5 data collector, contact your local reseller, or go to
empower.trimble.com/developer .
The Ranger 5 data collector allows one EMPOWER module to be installed at a time.
This section tells you how to install and start using Trimble EMPOWER modules.

Attaching and removing EMPOWER modules
To attach a module, see Attaching an EMPOWER module (optional), page 32 .
When you attach a module, make sure that the EMPOWER Hub and other supporting software is updated.
See
Installing EMPOWER module drivers and software apps, page 71 .
You do not need to remove a module from the
device unless you need to swap it between devices,
or for troubleshooting purposes (e.g., if the device
does not recognize the module is attached).
To remove the module:
1.
Make sure the device is turned off .
2.
Using the Phillips #1 screwdriver, loosen
the 2 captive screws at the bottom of the
EMPOWER module. Slide the module up
and off. Store the module in a safe, dry
location to prevent damage to the module
interface pogo-pins.
Installing EMPOWER module
drivers and software apps
The EMPOWER software and drivers come pre-
installed in the operating system. However, before
using an EMPOWER module for the first time, you may need to check for updated drivers and software
apps on the Ranger 5 data collector for the device to recognize and operate the module. If you need to
download or update these components, you can find the apps and drivers on Google Play, which is pre-
installed on the Ranger 5 data collector:
