1.3 Rivets
Important Information
1. A temperature of at least +10 °C (+50 °F) must be maintained during riveting to prevent the casing from
cracking.
2. A bushing is recommended to protect the plastic around the mounting hole from being damaged when
tightening the rivet.
3. Always position the rivet gun straight down on the rivet site and all the way to the rivet socket.
4. Tag casing may become damaged through improper handling of the rivet gun (slanted positioning of the
gun to access the rivet socket). If there is a chance this might occur, it is better to use a blind rivet with
a large head (Refer to UN9924) or insert a 5/32‖ washer. This has the effect of distributing the pressure
over a larger surface area during riveting. Use of a washer has the added effect of positioning the rivet
slightly higher in the depression, so that one can better access the rivet socket with the rivet gun.
5. Metal surfaces in direct proximity to the tag can reduce the tag’s range of function. Tags should not be
mounted in metal recesses or corners.
6. After mounting, the tag’s function should be tested with appropriate device and software.
