tags.qxd 5/5/99 ! 4:27 PM Page 2 W arnings The 3D-iD Tags are water and shock resistant. However, immersion, high-pressure washing, or extreme force can damage the Tags. When installing the Tags, keep in mind that metallic objects and other radio absorbers and deflectors will hinder the performance of the Tags. The Tags may be washed with alcohol, diluted bleach, and diluted ammonia. Harsher solutions may cause damage to the Tag s exterior or seal.

tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 4 About Tags The 3D-iD Tags are the items tracked by the Cell Controller and the Antennas - the components of the PinPoint System. They are affixed to assets or personnel enabling the 3D-iD system to secure, locate, and track those resources. The Tags receive 2.442GHz radio signals which are generated by the Cell Controller. They add their unique serial number to the signal and transflect the signal back to the Antenna at 5.77GHz.
tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 5 Installing Tags Mounting Tags - Asset Mount The asset mount can be used to attach the Tag to any flat surface or curved surface (up tp 2 diameter), such as a narrow bar or a pole. Mounting to a flat surface: 1. Affix the bottom (flat side) of the mount to the desired surface using the double-sided tape. For information about more securely attaching the mount to an asset (e.g. screwing it to the asset), please contact your certified system integrator. 2.
tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 6 Mounting to a curved surface: 1. Apply the enclosed strip of foam tape down the middle of the vertical axis on the bottom (flat side) of the Tag Mount 2. Run the hose clamps through the upper and lower channels of the mount. The ends of the hose clamps should meet above the flat side of the mount. Note: Other mechanisms may be used to secure the mount to a curved surface, including tie-wraps or security banding. Ask your certified system integrator for details.
tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 7 Installing Tags Mounting to a curved surface (cont.): 3. Attach the mount to the curved surface and tighten the hose clamps screws until the hose clamps run nearly flat along the channel in the mount. 4. Screw the tag to the mount using the two (2) security screws and the security screw driver. Ensure that: - The logo is facing outwards - The screws are not overtighted (overtightening can damage the Tag package) 5. The Tag and Mount should appear as shown.
tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 8 Mounting Tags - Personnel Mount Personnel Mounts are designed to enable a tag to be worn around the neck or on a belt clip. 1. Using the small strip of double-sided tape, affix the tape to the flat side of the belt clip. 2. Attach the belt clip to the back (no logo) side of the tag near the top as shown. 3. Using the belt clip affix the tag to a belt, or if desired, run a lanyard through the belt clip to wear the Tag around one s neck.

NOTE: Be sure that the battery contacts are aligned with the Tag leads! 6. Screw the battery case on to the tag base. 7. If the tag is from an asset mount, reattach the tag to the mount following the instructions in the Mounting section of this manual.
