Installation methods and precautions
1.Installation Method
The installation environment requires the reader antenna and the front of the tag to face each other.
The correct way to attach the tag is to attach it with the front side (or the back of the adhesive backing) facing the antenna. Attaching the tag from the back or side will also affect the label.
2.Installation Notes
Use the included double-sided tape for attachment. If using other attachment methods, consult with your sales engineer for the desired attachment method.
When attaching the tag using double-sided tape, apply in an environment with a temperature between 18°C and 25°C, and ensure the surface is flat for optimal adhesion.
Adhesion is not guaranteed on rusty surfaces.
When attaching the tag using screws, the screw head should be between 4mm and 7mm.
When attaching the tag using screws, do not remove the double-sided tape on the back of the tag. Please note: When tightening the screws, apply moderate pressure to avoid squeezing the double-sided tape and causing deformation.
3.Usage Precautions
Apply to metal surfaces.
Keep the tag within close proximity of any metal (the distance will vary depending on site conditions).
Apply to a flat, smooth metal surface.
Liquids (such as water or oil) on the tag surface may affect readability.
