Using Empower modules

Empower modules can be used to extend or expand the basic capabilities of your device. Each Empower module can be installed, removed, or moved from one Empower-enabled device to another.

The TSC7 controller / Ranger 7 data collector allows up to two Empower modules to be installed at a time.

For more information about using Empower modules, refer to the Empower module documentation.

Installing Empower modules

1. Make sure your device is turned off. For more information, see Charging and power modes.

2. Turn the device over, and using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, loosen the 2 screws on the Empower module bay cover to remove it.

   

3. Hook the Empower module onto the device, ensuring that the slots on the top of the device line up with those on the Empower module.

4. Tighten the 2 captive screws at the bottom of the Empower module using a Phillips #1 screwdriver. Do not overtighten the screws.

   

5. Turn on the device and start the Empower Hub (found under Start / Empower / Empower Hub). The Empower Hub is a centralized location for managing and monitoring your Empower modules.

   Some modules may require that additional drivers and/or supporting applications be installed before the base device recognizes the module.

   Before you remove a module from the device, make sure the device is powered off.
