   • Within the top corrugation on the right-side door
   • Centered between the locking bars
   • Surface must be flat, undamaged, and not have any peeling paint
2. Remove the large serial number label from the CT 1000, and then place the label next to the container number.
3. Mark the location of the corners of the CT 1000 on the asset. This is recommended for accurate prepping the asset surface.
4. Clean the surface of the corrugation (at the tape locations on the CT 1000).

Tape the CT 1000 to the Asset

1. Remove the tape liners from the back of the CT 1000 (two locations).
   CAUTION: DO NOT touch the tape.

2. Immediately place the CT 1000 onto the asset, being careful to place it on the previously marked corner locations from an earlier step.
   CAUTION: Ensure the device is placed near the bottom of the corrugation, with the solar panel facing up.

3. Press firmly on the entire top surface of the CT 1000 (7 kg (15 pounds) for 10 seconds) to bond the tape to the asset.

Install the Rivets
CAUTION: DO NOT drill holes in placarded assets that are loaded.

1. Use the CT 1000 as a guide, and drill through two (2) holes with the provided 0.196″ (5 mm) drill bit.
2. Assemble two (2) provided rivets through the drilled holes and install them using a rivet gun.

Associate the Device
