Part Number 806A2901 Locator Installation Guide Read these instructions thoroughly before installing the FindIt Locator. Faulty installation can lead to system failure. Materials Required Required Materials • FindIt® Locator (p/n 806A2901)—includes AC power adapter, two antennas, mounting plate with screws, and stand. • Suitable mounting hardware (not supplied)—for mounting Locator to a vertical surface, such as a cart: screws, double-sided tape or cable ties. Installation Considerations Considerations Installation • Position the Locator vertically with the antennas pointing upwards—The supplied stand angles the Locator at approximately 70°. Do not mount the Locator at a lower angle if mounting to a solid surface, and never lay the Locator flat. • Keep the antennas away from metal—If mounting the Locator to a metal cart, ensure that the antennas project above the frame of the cart. Do not lean the Locator against a metal object. • For best performance, place the Locator in an unobstructed location—Where possible, keep the Locator away from the body or large objects. • Performance may not be optimal while the Locator is being charged—The Locator continues to operate while the batteries are charging, but performance may not be optimal. Keep the power cord away from the antennas to improve performance.

The Locator contains rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a 120 VAC outlet, and then connect it to the Locator. The CHARGING light will come on. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours. STATUS Light (Green) Off Not receiving tag messages, or batteries are fully discharged. Occasional flashes Locator is receiving tag messages. Steady flashes Batteries are low. Recharge immediately. The Locator will continue to receive tag messages for a further 20-30 minutes, and will then shut down. (All data are saved). On Error. Connect to the Client PC to automatically download firmware. 3 Attach the two antennas. The antennas use a BNC connector. Push the antenna onto the mast, and give it a ¼ turn clockwise to secure it. Note: The antennas have a protective covering to prevent them from touching metal. Do not encase, wrap, or otherwise cover the antennas. 4 Install the mounting plate using one of the following methods. A Fasten to the stand using the three screws supplied. B Install to a vertical surface using mounting hardware appro5 priate to the surface material, such as screws, double-sided tape or cable ties. Install the Locator to the mounting plate. Slide the Locator into the mounting plate. If desired, the Locator can be secured by inserting a small lock or cable tie through the top hole on the mounting plate and Locator. Installation is complete, and the Locator is now ready for use. Gathering Gathering Asset Asset Data Data The Locator can gather data on assets in your facility carrying FindIt tags either on its own, or when connected to a Client PC with the FindIt software. Refer to the FindIt Portable User Manual for detailed information on how to gather data. Charging Charging the the Batteries Batteries The STATUS light on the Locator begins to flash when the batteries require recharging. The Locator will continue to receive FindIt tag transmissions for a further 20-30 minutes, and will then shut down. All data received up to that time are saved. Plug the Locator into a 120 VAC outlet using the supplied AC adapter. The CHARGING light will remain on until the charge is complete. A full charge takes 3 hours, providing approximately 24 hours of operation. The Locator should be charged every few months when not in use to maximize battery life. Warning: Only charge the Locator using the supplied adapter. Failure to do so may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury. CHARGING Light (Red) On Batteries are charging Off Batteries are fully charged. Battery Handling Handling Battery This device contains lithium-ion batteries. Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or in direct sunlight. Heating the batteries can damage the safety circuitry, which can cause additional heating, rupture or ignition of the batteries. The batteries are not user replaceable.
