Mounting R150 and R155/R156 Sensor Tags on Assets or Walls
When mounting R150 and R155/R156 Sensor Tags, follow these guidelines and instructions:
• If mounting on an asset or wall, ensure that the surface of the intended asset or wall is clean and dry. The tag
should be forcibly pressed down on the surface of the asset with 15 pounds of force for more than two seconds.
The ideal adhesive application temperature range is 60°F (21°C) to 100°F (38°C). Application is not
recommended if the surface temperature is below 50°F (10°C) because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere
readily.
• If mounting on a wall, take care to avoid mounting near windows as this will impact the tag’s ability to accurately
monitor temperature. Avoid mounting the tag directly to a metal wall surface or in direct sunlight because this
can affect read-range and temperature.
• RF Code advises mounting the tag in a vertical orientation where the cut-out for the humidity sensor is vertical
or mounted in such a way that the sensor is pointing down to prevent dust and debris from gathering in the cut-
out and creating humidity reporting errors.
• Avoid mounting tags close to the ground as this may negatively impact read-range.
Mounting R150 and R155/R156 Sensor Tags on Racks
To mount this tag in or on a rack, use one of the recommended mounting positions discussed below.
NOTE: The R150 Rack Temperature Tag and the R155/R156 Rack Humidity-Temperature Tag must be mounted in a
position that will allow the sensor on the tag to monitor the temperature of the surrounding area of the assets
that you would like to monitor.
• To mount this tag on the door of a rack, remove the release liner of the adhesive backing of the temperature tag
and press the tag firmly into place centered on the outside of the rack door.
