Beacon placement:
Each beacon should be installed on the exterior of the container, on the hoist end. To best
protect the beacon, we suggest placing the beacon
1. Near the support beams OR
2. Next to or behind ladder railings
Attaching the beacon:
Once you've identified the location to install the beacon, then:
1. Hold the beacon in place
2. Use the rivet holes as markers and drill one hole into the container using your cordless drill
and 3/16 drill bit
3. While still holding the beacon in place, use your riveter to pop the first rivet into the same
rivet hole which you just drilled a hole.
4. The Beacon should now hold in place on its own
5. Adjust the beacon to desired placement, then use the second rivet hole to drill your second
hole
6. Use your riveter to pop the first rivet into the second hole.
Digitally Create Container:
Once the beacon is securely attached to the container:
1. Make sure your Android smartphone has granted the Compology Technician app
permission to access the camera and location services
2. Log in to the Compology Technician App on your android device with the same user
credentials (email + password) you created for the Compology web app.
3. Open the Menu
