Installation Guide
How to install the tracker
Install with rivets Rivets are advised are they are more secure and
tamper proof.
The height of the casing where the mounting holes are located is 8mm.
We recommend Gesipa Blind Rivets Aluminium/Steel Standard Flat Head 5 x 16 mm.
Install with bolts
- It is recommended to use M5 bolts and to use thread locking glue on the bolts. We recommend Loctite Thread Locker Blue 242.
- Protect the casing with a washer and use a spring washer to mitigate the effects of vibration and temperature variations.
- The maximum allowed torque is 3.5NM for an M5 x 12 mm screw used with a washer. Applying more torque may severely damage the tracker’s casing.
Installation advice
The recommended orientation is vertical (upright) with the arrows on the
sticker pointing upwards. The second best orientation is horizontal
(sideways).
Do not mount the tracker upside down, with the sticker on top. Do not mount
the tracker horizontally, facing upwards. Avoid blocking the tracker’s view
with metal or carbonfibre walls. They weaken or block the radiofrequency
signals. Place the tracker as high as possible on the asset to ensure good
network coverage. Make sure the mounting surface is flat and clean, for a
strong and durable bond and to secure the tamper function will work. Do not
install the tracker on parts that receive frequent shocks or vibrations. You
can place the tracker in a protected location, but never with metal or
carbonfibre above the tracker. Make sure the tracker has a clear view on the
sky. Avoid placing the tracker in a place that can collect water. Do not mount
on round surfaces, this will impact the tamper functionality.
