Notes on installation

Note
Before you install the transponders, read this section carefully to ensure problem-free
installation and commissioning.
The transponders can only be used in conjunction with the RTLS localization system. The
radio address of the transponder can be obtained from the data matrix code printed on the
transponder.
Install the transponder in such a way that it has a direct line-of-sight connection to the
gateways (360° panorama view). Any type of material can impact wireless localization.
Wireless localization through metal is not possible. In this case, localization via wireless
reflections can occur, which results in inaccurate determination of the location.
Check the transponder for damage before installation. The specified operating temperature
ranges must be observed.
The transponder contains one lithium battery.
Fires and burns
Improper handling of batteries can lead result in fires and burns.
The enclosure of the transponder must not be squashed, punctured or exposed to other
mechanical influences. It may only be opened to change batteries.
Never expose the transponder to fire, temperatures above 50 °C or direct sunlight for an
extended period of time.
In dry environments, the transponder battery must be replaced.
