RDY REMOTE MONITORING DEVICE
OVERVIEW
RDY is a hammer-mounted device that enables remote monitoring of hammer units. During hammer operation, RDY collects and transmits operating and location information. This information is available through an online service and can be used, for example, to view hammer work history, manage service schedules, optimize hammer performance, plan operator training and conduct fleet management.
Following picture shows RDY device and typical installations to different hammer models.
Note: Hereby Sandvik declares that the radio equipment type, remote monitoring device RDY is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address:

ORIENTATION
The “+” and “-“ marks (B) on the remote monitoring device are orientation marks. These marks indicate the upright position of the device. The “+” sign must point towards the mounting flange and “–“ sign towards the impact direction of the hammer when installing the device.
Depending on the hammer model the device can be mounted on the side of the hammer housing i.e., perpendicular to the boom plane or towards the operator cabin i.e., parallel to the boom plane.
INSTALLING THE SURFACE-MOUNTED RDY
Warning! The hammer must be secured from falling down in any direction when handling it.
- If you are replacing an existing RD3, RD3X or RDY device, remove the old device. See “Removing device”.
- If this is the first RDY installation on your hammer or you must reposition the RDY device, prepare the mounting threads for mounting the RDY:
- Choose a flat surface where it will be protected from flying debris, sudden impact or collisions.
- Mark the places for the mounting screw threads. Note: Use the RDY device as a template.
Remember to orient the device with the orientation marks. - Drill the holes for the threads perpendicular to the surface of the hammer.
- Prepare the threads with a threading tool, using lubricant.
- Clean the threads carefully.
- Apply the recommended locking fluid to the mounting screws.
- Position the RDY device on the hammer, in line with the mounting holes and ensure correct mounting according to the orientation marks.
- Attach RDY to the hammer with the Nord-Lock washers and mounting screws. Tighten the screws to the specified torque.
- To activate RDY, see “Activating an RDY device”.
REMOVING AN RDY DEVICE
Follow these instructions to remove an existing RDY device.
Warning! The hammer must be secured from falling down in any direction when handling it.
- Unscrew the mounting screws.
- Remove the remote monitoring device.
- The mounting screws are secured with locking fluid. Clean the threads carefully if mounting a replacement device.
ACTIVATION AND USE
ACTIVATING AN RDY DEVICE
Follow these instructions to activate an existing RDY device.
Warning! Big magnets have a very strong attractive force. Unsafe handling could cause contusions,bruises, or bone fractures.
Warning! Magnets could affect the proper functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart defibrillators. If you or others nearby wear one of these devices, maintain a safe distance from magnets.
- Place the magnet on top of RDY as shown. Warning! Large magnets can have high adhesive force. Keep a safe distance from metal objects!
- Wait minimum of 5 seconds to start activation of the device.
The RDY device has an indicator LED to acknowledge successful activation and communication. See table for the LED indications.
When activated, the RDY device sends an acknowledgment message to the cloud service and starts to operate as configured in the cloud service.
FORCED CONNECTIVITY OF THE RDY DEVICE
RDY device connects automatically according to a set schedule to the cloud service. User can trigger instant connectivity and reporting at any time after device has been activated.
- Place magnet on top of the magnet symbol for minimum of 5 seconds
- Indicator blinks once GREEN when communication has been initiated
- Magnet can be removed after 1st blink
- Observe indicator LED lights to follow progress of the communication.
LED indications
LED indication | Status |
Multi-color blinking | Device activated |
BLUE blinking | Connecting to cloud service |
GREEN blinking | Connection successful to cloud service |
RED blinking | Connection failed |
AMBER blinking | Battery low/unable to communicate |
Device activation is successful when LED sequence ends with GREEN blinks.
Device communication was not successful if the sequence ends with RED blinks. This can be due to limited or no cellular network access or failure in communication to cloud service. Please check if mobile network is available and try the activation again.
Device battery is low, if LED starts to blink with AMBER color after placing the magnet. Note that device can still possibly continue to record hammer operation, but it can’t communicate to cloud service. Battery can indicate low level momentarily if device has been reporting with short interval.
Device needs to be replaced to new unit if the problem persists.
READING INFORMATION FROM NFC TAG
RDY device has a NFC tag that contains product serial number.
- Acquire proper device to read NFC tag content. For example, NFC capable smartphones can be used.
- Place NFC capable device over the NFC tag. The tag is placed inside the device cover, see correct reading location for picture below.
CLEANING OF RDY DEVICE
The device should be cleaned during weekly maintenance checks of the hammer to ensure its performance and operation.
Device can be cleaned using clean cloth, water and alkaline or hydrocarbon-based industrial cleaner to remove any dirt and debris from the surface of the device. Device must be rinsed with water after using industrial cleaner.
PRECAUTIONS
The device must be set to flight mode via the cloud service if it is transported via air freight. It contains an encased lithium-ion battery which is regulated for air transport. Consult your forwarder about any restrictions for air freight.
Disposal of the device into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting the device open,can result in an explosion.
The device subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Do not try to open the device in any way. The device electronics and power components are potted in polyurethane resin.
The internal Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery has a hermetically sealed structure, so it is not hazardous when device is used in the recommended way, Risk of exposure is only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads to the rupture of the battery container. Electrolyte is toxic and corrosive and causes irritation, skin burn, lung injuries, asthma and other respiratory disorders
