Maintenance
VP Series 2000 devices need minimal maintenance. If a device fails, it may be due to a weak battery,
environmental damage, or even a blocked wireless connection.
! WARNING
HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
Before maintaining VP Series 2000 devices in a potentially hazardous environment, verify that
hazardous materials, atmospheres, and conditions have been removed or appropriate safety risk
mitigation measures have been taken.
Monitor Battery Levels
To monitor your VP Series 2000 device battery status, use your network infrastructure software or the
configuration software and a USB NFC reader. Depending on the device operating mode and
configuration, the battery may last up to five years.
Check the device battery status monthly. If battery status is medium, be sure you have replacement
batteries in stock or on order. However, for optimal device life, we recommend that you do not store
batteries for more than 12 months. Under optimal conditions, we recommend replacing the battery
within 3 to 6 months once it reaches the “low” state.
Battery Status Monitoring
Battery status is updated periodically and may be trended. Battery status is affected by low
temperatures. A new battery displays 75%. 100% is only used for line powered devices. There are three
battery states:
• 75 to 100%: High
• 25-75%: Medium
• 25%: Low
