i-Q350TL Tag Manual Page 5 of 11 1 Introduction 1.1 Preparations This installation manual must be read carefully prior to starting the installation. The described installation works assume that installation materials like cable, antenna and tag holder etc are available. 1.2 Recommended Procedure 1. Check the Scope of Delivery according to the Bill of Delivery 2. Read this manual completely 3. Mount the tags 4. An additional performance check of the tags and a system test can now be done 1.3 Scope of this Document This document is the user’s manual of this tag models: i-Q350, i-Q350T, i-Q350L, i-Q350TL This document is intended only for mechanical installation rsp. everyday use. 1.4 Responsibility IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is not responsible for any errors occurring in this document. 1.5 Associated Documents • i-Q350 Data Sheet, ID.0695.EN (English) • i-Q350T Data Sheet, ID.0675.EN (English) • i-Q350L Data Sheet, ID.0696.EN (English) • i-Q350TL Data Sheet, ID.0697.EN (English) 1.6 Scope of Delivery—Visual Inspection Check delivery whether it is complete and for any damages.

Installation and Operation Manual Page 6 of 11 2 Safety Precautions Important Safety Note The devices described in this manual is for exclusive operation by trained employees. Only qualified personnel that know the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair of the units used. Operational Safety The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures. If there is a possibility that safe operation cannot be guaranteed the system must be switched off and secured against accidental use. Then the service unit responsible must be informed. Do not open the housing There is no need to open the housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Set-up and configuration during initial operation is done wireless with the built-in air interface. Handling Safety On account of high operating temperature of 80 °C (+176 °F) care must be taken, if the tags are heated. To avoid burn wait a while until the tags have cooled down or use gloves. At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F) tags can be iced. In this case, wait a while until tags are warmed up or use gloves. Battery Inside All tags contain a battery. That is the reason for the following instructions: Warning Fire, explosion and burn hazard Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F) Do not incinerate, or expose contents to water Electrostatic Discharge This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe the special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the invalidation of the warranty. Safety Documents This ILR system was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition according to document test report EN60950. Condensation/Change of Temperature Moving the systems from a cold to a warm environment could lead to dangerous situations due to condensation. Therefore it must be ensured that the system can adjust itself to the warmer temperature. Spare Parts We recommend that only original products, spare and replacement parts authorized by IDENTEC SOLUTIONS be used for installation, service and repair. Otherwise IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not accept any responsibility for materials used, work carried out or possible consequences.
i-Q350TL Tag Manual Page 7 of 11 3 Tag Mounting Techniques 3.1 Rivets Important Information 1. A temperature of at least +10 °C (+50 °F) must be maintained during riveting to prevent the casing from cracking. 2. Always position the blind-rivet gun straight down on the rivet site and all the way to the rivet socket. 3. On occasion, a tag casing has been damaged through improper handling of the blind-rivet gun (slanted positioning of the gun to access the rivet socket). If there is a chance this might occur, it is better to use a blind rivet with a large head (Refer to UN9924) or insert a 3/16” washer. This has the effect of distributing the pressure over a larger surface area during riveting. The use of the washer has the added effect of positioning the rivet slightly higher in the depression, so that one can better access the rivet socket with the rivet gun. 4. Metal surfaces in direct proximity to the tag can reduce the tag’s range of function. Tags should therefore not be mounted in metal recesses or corners. 5. After mounting, the tag’s function should be tested, i.e. with a handheld device and the „ILR Pocket Demo“ software. 3/16” dia. blind rivet (M5)
Installation and Operation Manual Page 8 of 11 3.2 Screws Important Information 1. Only screws with cylindrical heads are suitable for mounting the tag. We do not advise using counter-sunk screws. If for some reason this should be necessary, then only together with a suitable counter-sunk cushioning disc (refer to UN 1277). 2. Secure the screws so they cannot work themselves loose i.e. by using self-locking nuts or spring washers or Nordlock washers (refer to UN 7014). 3. If the tag is mounted out-of-doors or in a damp environment, all mounting parts need to be made of stainless steel or other non-rusting material. 4. A temperature of at least +10 °C (+50 °F) must be maintained during mounting to prevent the casing from cracking. 5. Depending on the type and strength category of the #10 screw used, the maximum tightening torque must be between 2 and 10 Nm. If the torque is any greater, the screw may overtighten, or the casing might break. 6. Metal surfaces in direct proximity to the tag can reduce the tag’s range of function. Tags should therefore not be mounted in metal recesses or corners. 7. After mounting, the tag’s function should be tested, i.e. with a handheld device and the „ILR Pocket Demo“ software. Variations Mounting with self-tapping screws. Disadvantage: the screws may loosen in time. i.e. #10 cylinder head or lenticular head screws i.e. 3/16” hexagonal locknut with 3/16” washer OR 3/16” hexagonal nut, but together with spring washer or 3/16” Nordlock washer
i-Q350TL Tag Manual Page 9 of 11 4 Maintenance 4.1 General In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years without any problems. 4.2 Precautionary Maintenance Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible. A Brief Checklist • Are all housings intact? • Are all cables intact? • Are all connectors intact? • Are all connectors securely fastened? • Are all screws still tight? • Is there suddenly a malfunction at a specific unit? 4.3 Returns Parts or main components returned for repair or exchange must be handled with great care. PC cards must be returned in the appropriate ESD-protecting packaging material. All returns should include a completed returns form (see appendix) and be sent to the local distributor or to: IDENTEC SOLUTIONS AG Service Department Millenium Park 2 6890 Lustenau AUSTRIA / AUTRICHE
