Hazardous Location Certification

The Ranger-900 is not Hazardous Location certified and is for general purpose areas only.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE COMPONENTS UNLESS

POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED OR THE AREA IS FREE OF IGNITIBLE CONCENTRATIONS.

AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE D'EXPLOSION . NE PAS RETIRER OU REMPLACER LES

COMPOSANTS QUE L’ALIMENTATION EST DÉBRANCHÉ OU ZONE EST LIBRE DE

CONCENTRATIONS IGNITIBLE.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD Do not disconnect while circuit is live unless area

is known to be nonhazardous

AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. Ne débranchez pas lorsque le circuit est en

direct , sauf si la zone est connue pour être nonhazardous

WARNING – All wiring methods must be in accordance with the NEC

AVERTISSEMENT - Toutes les méthodes de Essorez doivent être en conformité avec la NEC

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do no remove or replace while circuit is live

unless the area is free of ignitable concentrations.

AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. Ne pas enlever ou remplacer pendant que le

circuit est vivant à moins que la zone soit exempt de concentrations ignitibles.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not remove or replace lamps, fuses or plug-in

modules (as applicable) unless power has been disconnected or the area is free of

ignitable concentrations.

AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. Ne retirez ni ne remplacez les lampes, les fusibles ou les

modules enfichables (le cas échéant) à moins que l'alimentation ait été coupée ou que la zone

soit exempte de concentrations inflammables.

Overview

The Ranger900 provides a convenient way to bring data from SignalFire’s 900MHz nodes into the SFCloud,

creating a hybrid system of radio and cellular technology, local and remote. The Ranger-900 is a standalone

enclosure that consists of a DIN Gateway v2 and Ranger with Modbus card, powered by an integrated solar

system.

The system supports our line of 900MHz nodes such as the C1D1 Sentinel or Pressure Scout, which connect to

the DIN Gateway v2. While normally this information would then be read from the Gateway over Modbus into a

PLC/SCADA system, the Ranger-900 can transmit this information to the SFCloud. With this flexibility, users

don’t have to split their data between local systems and the SFCloud where they see other Ranger data.

Power

The Ranger900 is powered by a 10W solar panel, with a rechargeable 12A-hr SLA backup battery. A fully

charged battery can provide power for over 16 days.

Software Configuration

The Ranger can be configured locally through its micro-USB port using the SignalFire Ranger ToolKit. The DIN

Gateway v2 can be configured locally through its DB-9 port using the SignalFire ToolKit. Both pieces of software

can be downloaded from our website, signal-fire.com, with registration of a free account.

Sensor Connections

The Ranger and DIN Gateway v2 both support a variety of integrated I/O. Wires can be brought in through the

cable glands on the enclosure’s underside. For more information on their I/O capabilities, please refer to their

respective manuals.

The Ranger’s expansion module slot is occupied by an RS-485 card in order to read registers from the Gateway,

therefore no other daughter cards can be used. Using the Ranger’s active analog input will impact battery life

and is generally not recommended for use in this configuration. Contact SignalFire or your local vendor for

applications where the Ranger’s analog input will need to be use.

Setup

Power

The solar panel and battery will be packed separately and need to be assembled with the enclosure. Please

follow the step-by-step instructions below to get power to the system.

1. Unlock the enclosure and open the door.

2. Pull the solar panel’s wire in through the cable gland on the underside of the enclosure and land them

on the terminals as shown below, such that red goes to red and black goes to black.

3. Tighten the cable gland until the solar panel cable is secure.

4. Install the battery by inserting it into the enclosure on the strap as shown below. Pull the Velcro strap

through the buckle and secure tightly.

Rev 1.0

5. Insert the disconnects on to the battery’s tabs, red to red, black to black. The system will then be fully

powered on.

Cloud

Ranger900’s purchased with the SignalFire Cloud service come with a pre-installed SIM card.

Customers will require a login to access the SignalFire Cloud server (signal-fire.cloud). Fill out the

request form here: https://signal-fire.com/lte-m1-cellular-products/cloudregister/ to setup your

company site. Once your account is created, follow the steps below:

1. Login to the SignalFire Could with the account login/password provided

2. From the Home page click “Add Device”

3. Enter either the Ranger serial number or IMEI number and click “Send Request”. The serial number and

IMEI number are located on inside of the enclosure door. The serial number will have a format of “RA”

followed by 6 numbers.

4. A message will be sent to the Ranger to “claim” it to the customer site, and a wait screen with appear.

5. Within approximately one minute the device will connect to your account, and you will be automatically

redirected to the device status page

Gateway

The Gateway and its nodes should be configured as normal. Connect to the Gateway through the DB-9 port

with the SignalFire ToolKit and set the Network, Network Group, and Encryption Key parameters as needed. To

Rev 1.0

add a node to its network, simply configure it to have the same Network, Network Group, and Encryption Key

along with a unique Slave ID. For more information, please refer to the DIN Gateway v2 manual.

Rev 1.0

Ranger

The Ranger can be programmed to pull individual registers from the Gateway from the various nodes. To do so,

click on the “Configure” button on the Modbus tile.

The Ranger can read up to 32 datapoints from up to 8 connected devices. To add a new register read, click on

the ‘+’ button. Each line needs to be specified with a Tag Name, and point to a Modbus Slave ID, register

address, register data type, and read/write access. The register can also be tagged with units if needed. Click

Apply to send the changes to the Ranger.

To select lines for deletion, click on the trash can icon at the end of each line, and then click on the “Delete

Rows” button to delete all the rows selected.

Once the registers have been set up as desired, click “Exit” to return to the Ranger’s main page. The

registers and their values will appear in a table below, where they can be organized in ascending or

descending order by clicking on each header. The Modbus register configuration can also be done locally

using the Ranger ToolKit.

Because the Ranger’s Modbus capability is limited to reading 32 registers from 8 devices, SignalFire

recommends using register remapping on the Gateway. That way, all 32 registers can be read off one

device (the Gateway’s Slave ID).

Rev 1.0

In the example above, the Ranger is transmitting information from a Pressure Scout as well as the Gateway’s

supply voltage.

Clicking on “Show In Trend” will add that register to the historical data

view at the bottom of the page. Clicking on “Modify” will bring a pop-up

to configure alarms, or to do a register write to set a Modbus value in a

thresholds. Click “Apply” to save alarm settings for each register.
