Introduction

This document contains the hazardous area user manual for the MethaneTrack™ Endpoints, model number MTEP

Regulatory Information

The following MethaneTrack™ Endpoint (MTEP) falls within the scopeof the product approvals shown below:

Nevada Nano Model: MTEP

MTE1 Warnings 

Warning: Potential electrostatic discharge hazard. See instructions, NFPA 77 and  IEC TS60079‐32‐1 for guidanceNevada-Nano-MTEP-Methane-Track-TMV1-Endpoint-image (1)

  • Warning: Use only Nevada Nano Battery Module P/N 55‐000001  .

Hazardous Location Use Guidelines

Connection of Radio & Sensor Module and Power Module
It is recommended that steps 3.1.1 through 3.1.3 are performed in a controlled environment that is known to be non‐hazardous.

  1. Connect the battery pack cable of the power module (55‐000001) to the keyed  receptacle on the radio and sensor module (53‐000022). Nevada-Nano-MTEP-Methane-Track-TMV1-Endpoint-image (2)
  2. Align the radio and sensor module and the power module and begin sliding the  two together. The radio and sensor module will fit inside of the power module. Nevada-Nano-MTEP-Methane-Track-TMV1-Endpoint-image (3)
  3. The connection of the two modules is completed when the radio and sensor  module ‘snaps’ into place within the upper enclosure. The pictures below show the approximate depth required for the ‘snap.’ Nevada-Nano-MTEP-Methane-Track-TMV1-Endpoint-image (4)

Step completes the connection of the radio and sensor module with the power module. The subsequent steps can be performed within Hazardous Zones,if needed.

Turning the endpoint ON and OFF.  
The magnetic tool is used to turn the endpoint on and off. The magnetic tool fits within a trapezoidal slot on the bottom of the endpoint.

  1. Powering on the endpoint
    1. Insert the magnetic tool into the slot and holding for approximately 1‐3  seconds. An internal green LED will activate and blinkdown the length of the magnetic tool.
    2. Remove the magnetic tool within 10 seconds of seeing the blinking green  LED light
  2. Powering off the endpoint
    1. Inserting the magnetic tool into the slot and holding for approximately 10  seconds. An internal green LED will activate,shine down the length of the magnetic tool, and remain on for the remainder of the 10 seconds.
    2. One the steady green LED is off, remove the magnetic tool.

LID attachment to the Endpoint
The LID for the Radio and Sensor Module (22‐000029) should be reattached to  the endpoint.

FCC STATEMENT

FCC ID: 2BAGY‐MTEP

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Warnings
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.

FCC Information to User

  • This product does not contain any user serviceable components and is to be used with approved antennas only. Any product changes or modifications will invalidate all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals.
  • This device and its antenna(s) must not be co‐located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
  • Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an  uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
