Hazardous Location Certification
The RANGER is rated Class 1 Division 2 non-incendive when powered by its internal battery pack.
or its internal DC-DC converter. The HCSolar unit is not C1D2 certified so it 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 Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION. La substitution de composants peut rendre ce
materiel inacceptable pour les emplacements de classe I, division 2
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.

Connections and Components
STATUS LED
-The STATUS LED (green) will flash 3 times on a successful data transmission to the server
ERROR LED
-The ERROR LED (red) will blink 3 times to indicate that an attempted data transmission failed
Check-in Button
-If this button is pressed the RANGER will blink the green or red status LED 3 times to indicate the status
of the last transmission to the server. If the Checkin button is pressed and held for more than 1 second,
the RANGER will take readings from the attached sensors and send the readings to the server.
SignalFire Expansion Module
-The SignalFire Expansion Module slot is used for additional sensor support. Available expansion cards
are 2AI/1DI, Modbus, and HART.

Analog Input
The analog input provides 13V/18V (selectable in software, see page 11) to the attached sensor. The analog
input can operate in either current (4-20mA), or voltage (1-5V). The input mode must be set by the slide switch.
Slide the switch up to Volts for a voltage input, or down to mA for a current input.

Relay Output
The RANGER has a single latching SPDT relay which may be controlled remotely from the server or by using the
RANGER’s internal relay control logic. The Relay will connect the COM terminal to NC when de-energized and
the COM will be connected to the NO terminal when energized
