WarningsThe 3D-iD Tags are water and shock resist ant. However,immersion, high-pressure washing, or extreme force candamage the Tags.When installing the Tags, keep in mind that met allic object s andother radio absorbers and deflectors will hinder the per -formance of the Tags.The Tags may be washed with alcohol, diluted bleach, anddiluted ammonia. Harsher solutions may cause damageto the Tag s exterior or seal.Changes and modifications not expressely approved byPinPoint Corporation could void the user s authority tooperate the equipment.2Pin Poi nt Local Positioning Systems!tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 2

About TagsThe 3D-iD Tags are the items tracked by the Cell Controllerand the Antennas - the components of the PinPointSystem. They are af fixed to asset s or personnelenabling the 3D-iD system to secure, locate, and trackthose resources. The Tags receive 2.442GHz radio sig -nals which are generated by the Cell Controller. Theyadd their unique serial number to the signal and trans -flect the signal back to the Antenna at 5.77GHz. TheCell Controller measuresthe delay between whenthe signal was sent andwhen it was received, gen -erating Tag-AntennaDist ance (TAD) data.4Pin Poi nt Local Positioning Systemstags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 4
Inst alling T agsMounting Tags - Asset MountThe asset mount can be used to attach the Tag to any flat surfaceor curved surface (up tp 2 diameter), such as a narrow baror a pole.Mounting to a flat surface:1. Af fix the bottom (flat side) of the mount to the desired sur -face using the double-sided t ape.For information about more securely att aching the mount toan asset (e.g. screwing it to the asset), please cont act yourcertified system integrator.2. Screw the tag to the mount using the two (2) security screwsand the security screw driver. Ensure that:-The logo is facing outwards-The screws are not overtightened (overtightening candamage the Tag package)3. The Tag and Mount should appear as shown.5tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 5
Mounting to a curved surface:1. Apply the enclosed strip of foam t ape down the middle ofthe vertical axis on the bottom (flat side) of the TagMount2. Run the hose clamps through the upper and lower chan-nels of the mount. The ends of the hose clamps shouldmeet above the flat side of the mount. Note: Other mechanisms may be used to secure themount to a curved surface, including tie-wraps or securi -ty banding. Ask your certified system integrator fordet ails.6Pin Poi nt Local Positioning Systemstags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 6
Inst alling T agsMounting to a curved surface (cont.):3. Attach the mount to the curved surface and tighten the hoseclamps screws until the hose clamp s run nearly flat alongthe channel in the mount. 4. Screw the t ag to the mount using the two (2) securityscrews and the security screw driver. Ensure that:-The logo is facing outwards-The screws are not overtighted (overtightening candamage the Tag package)5. The Tag and Mount should appear as shown.7tags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 7
Mounting Tags - Personnel MountPersonnel Mounts are designed to enable a t ag to be wornaround the neck or on a belt clip.1. Using the small strip of double-sided t ape, af fix the t apeto the flat side of the belt clip.2. Att ach the belt clip to the back (no logo) side of the t agnear the top as shown.3. Using the belt clip af fix the t ag to a belt, or if desired, runa lanyard through the belt clip to wear the Tag aroundone s neck.Note: The Tag s logo must always be facing out!8Pin Poi nt Local Positioning Systemstags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 8
Inst alling T agsMaintaining the TagThe ViewPoint sof tware p ackage contains a battery monitoringapplication which will generate a report of all Tag s that havea low battery (See the V iewPoint User s Manual for moreinformation). To change the Tag s battery:1. IIf the Tag is mounted to the Asset Mount, remove the Tagfrom the Mount.2. Detach the battery case by carefully unscrewing the seven(7) screws holding it to the Tag. The screws are on the rearof the t ag (the side with no logo).3. Carefully sep arate the Battery Case from the Tag.4. Properly dispose of the old battery case.9Picture of a Tag open withthe battery separatetags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 9
Maintaining the Tag (cont.)5. Slide the new Battery Case firmly into place against theTag body.NOTE: Be sure that the battery cont act s are aligned withthe T ag leads!6. Screw the battery case on to the t ag base. 7. If the t ag is from an asset mount, reatt ach the t ag to themount following the instructions in the Mounting sectionof this manual.10 Pin Poi nt Local Positioning Systemstags.qxd 5/5/99 4:27 PM Page 10
