Description

The Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring vibration
sensor allows you to monitor velocity, acceleration, and
temperature plus timebase waveforms, spectra, and
PeakDemod spectrum. It's built for plant managers and
operators in power generation, oil and gas, and related
industrial markets.

The Bently Nevada Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring
sensor enables you to:

l Monitor and optimize the reliability of low- and

medium-criticality machines.
l Establish or expand existing reliability programs.
l Make maintenance decisions based on current data.
l Reduce maintenance costs.
l Decrease unplanned machine failures.
l Increase machinery life.

125M5237 Rev. H

Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring is a simple, easy to
implement solution for use in hazardous or difficult to access
environments where wired solutions are impractical.



Use the Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring to get
immediate notifications, short- and long-term trending data,
and diagnostic reporting. No more "reporting by walking
around."

Quickly publish overall data through Modbus to third-party
tools or spectra and waveform data through Generic Client or
Hart IPInterface to Bently Nevada System 1 software.
Configure Ranger Pro devices over-the-air using third-party
tools or the Ranger Pro Configuration software.

Machinery Applications

Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring is a
vibration sensor for machines with roller­element bearings including:

l Agitators
l Air compressors
l Ball mills
l Blowers
l Centrifuges
l Cooling tower fans and pumps
l Motors
l Small reciprocating compressors
l Small hydro and steam turbines

Hardware Features

You can configure Ranger Pro Wireless
Condition Monitoring to work in a variety of
environments and applications.

l Uniaxial and tri-axial capable velocity and

acceleration detection.
l Environment temperature reporting.
l Mounting hardware options to fit most

applications.
l Replaceable lithium-thionyl chloride

battery.
l IP67 dust and water resistant.
l Embedded sensors connect using the

ISA100 wireless or WirelessHART network

protocols.
l Can act as a router for other Ranger Pro

sensors.

After installing Ranger Pro devices, you can set
a start time for multiple devices to begin data
acquisition using Ranger Pro Configuration
Software.

Ranger Pro collects overall vibration,
temperature measurements, timebase
waveforms, spectra, and Peak Demod
spectrum using Generic Client Interface (GCI)
for ISA100 Ranger Pro devices and HARTIPfor
WirelessHARTRanger Pro devices with System 1
software. You can filter overall and dynamic
timebase and spectra data.

Network Installation

A typical network installation uses several
Ranger Pro Wireless Condition Monitoring
sensors, Ranger Pro repeaters, wireless device
managers, and access points. Ranger Pro is
available in either uniaxial or tri-axial vibration
detection.

You can use third-party tools or the Ranger Pro
Configuration software to quickly provision and
configure Ranger Pro devices over-the-air.

Wireless range varies depending on
environmental obstacles, gateway antenna
type, and the orientation of the sensor relative
to the gateway antenna.
