For details, see your vendor's wireless network documentation. Setup Overview To add VP Series 2000 devices to your wireless network, complete these steps: 1.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH Consider Battery Life Batteries for VP series 2000 devices have a typical life of five years under the following conditions: • • • • • VP Series 2000 ISA100 sensors are configured as a I/O device (not router). Ambient temperatures under 40°C (104°F). Good quality radio frequency communications. Measurement interval of 30 minutes or more. Dynamic measurement intervals of 1 day or more.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 DIVIGRAPH VP Series 2000 User Guide Mesh Topology A mesh topology creates redundant communication paths for devices on the network. Mesh topologies are suitable for networks that cover a large area. When planning a mesh network, it is critical to avoid a choke point, where many devices attempt to connect to a single point. Avoid network topologies that require more than three hops and too many devices routed through a single device, creating a choke point.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH ! NOTE Where possible, minimize the distance from the gateway, backbone router or access point to the furthest VP Series 2000 device. 4. Plan for multiple connections for each device. • Multiple communication paths in mesh networks are required to increase network redundancy and prevent a single path failure that would result in a loss of communication.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH Installation and Configuration Install Battery We recommend that you install batteries in Ranger Pro devices in an indoors equipment room or a similar environment.

EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH Add a Routing Device • • • • In areas that have weak RF coverage (for example, where RSSI < -78dB), configure a VP Series 2000 device to enable routing or, preferably, add a VP Series 2000 routing device. Use your network vendor's software to verify, and if necessary, enable the router function of each VP Series 2000 device. Verify that each device has a good network connection. Remember to stay within the recommended number of hops per device.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH Validate Device Data Depending on the wireless management system you are using, there are several ways to validate that each device is transmitting data. ! Note Initial publication of measurements may take some time after devices have joined the network. After the initial period, during which the network is forming, measurements will be published at the configured rate.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 DIVIGRAPH VP Series 2000 User Guide Static Process Variable Data Process Variable (PV) or direct data is used to trend the overall vibration and temperature. PV data can be sent to System 1 through GCI, HART-IP, Modbus or OPC. PV data sent by GCI conforms to the ISA100, foundation fieldbus standard. Data sent by HART-IP conforms to the HART standard. For ISA100 devices PV data is timestamped by the gateway and not at the time of acquisition.
EVR-VPXDOC-0036 VP Series 2000 User Guide DIVIGRAPH Advanced Features Additional advanced features are also available that can be enable or disabled at user discretion. These features apply both ISA100 and WirelessHART VP Series 2000 sensors and can be set using the configuration software either during configuration or over the air as required.
