Using the pole mount
An optional accessory for the Ranger 7 data collector, the pole mount consists of two
parts:
l the pole-facing part
l the Ranger 7 data collector-facing part.
The two parts are connected using a connector that is compatible with other Spectra
Precision mounting products.
The pole-facing part is compact, so that it fits into a 10 cm (4”) pipe for storage.
The Ranger 7 data collector-facing part has an arm which can be set up for left- or right-
hand usage. To switch it from one side to the other, unscrew the black screws in the cradle
plate where the device sits, rotate the cradle plate, then screw it back into place.
The Ranger 7 data collector “snaps” easily into the cradle. To use the Ranger 7 data
collector on the pole mount, first sit the bottom of the Ranger 7 data collector into the
hook at the bottom of the cradle, then push it firmly into the snap lock.
To remove the Ranger 7 data collector from the cradle, on the back of the locking
mechanism pull the lever Ranger 7 data collector to release the device.
Using the shoulder sling
There are several ways to attach the shoulder sling to the Ranger 7 data collector:
l If you have a handstrap attached to the device (see Attaching the handstrap, page 27),
clip the shoulder sling onto the handstrap buckles.
l If you do not have a handstrap attached to the device, attach the shoulder sling
standalone connector straps to the handstrap slots on the device, and clip the
shoulder sling to the connector straps.
l You can attach the shoulder sling to the handstrap slots/shoulder sling connector
straps on either side of the device, according to your preference.
l You can attach a shoulder sling to the top or bottom handstrap slots, or use two
shoulder slings and attach them crosswise to the device to create a harness.
Using the desktop hub
An optional accessory, the Ranger 7 data collector desktop hub connects to the device
with a USB cable. It provides:
l One display port, which supports a single 2K monitor (up to 2560 x 1600 x 30 fps)
l One DVI-I and one HDMI port, which support dual monitors (up to 2048 x 1152 x 60 fps)
