EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

battery. Using a damaged device may further damage the device, cause it
to fail, or in hazardous locations cause other unintended consequences.
Clean the Exterior
When cleaning a Ranger Pro device in an equipment room or a similar environment:
l Use a clean, dry, non-abrasive, anti-static cloth to clean the exterior. Don’t use solvents or
solutions.
l To remove deposits from the exterior of the sensor, use an electronic contact or switch

Diagnose Device Status
If a device fails, use a USB NFC reader to identify the fault. The USB NFC reader displays additional
detail about device status that is not available using network software. Diagnostic information
can only be read if the device has a battery installed and the system firmware is running.
Using the NFC reader on a bare metal surface can cause interference. Insulate the NFC
reader from the metal surface by placing a 2.5 cm (1 in.)thick book or similar material
under the NFC reader.
To diagnose a device:
1. Connect the NFC reader to the computer running the Ranger Pro software.
2. Open the Ranger Pro software.
3. Place the Ranger Pro device upside down on the NFC reader
4. Select NFC Manager >Sensor View. The device status is Diagnostics >E-Module and/or
Sensor panes.
