M172 Durable Tag
The M171 Durable Tag is designed with a sealed, water-resistant, crush-proof, temperature-stable enclosure for general-
purpose asset tracking. The durable enclosure provides protection in harsh environments where liquids and/or extreme
temperatures are potential hazards.
M172-i Durable Tag
The M172-i Infrared Durable Tag is identical to the M172 with the addition of on-board infrared (IR) and motion sensors.
When used with the A750 Room Locator, these tags provide room-level location accuracy.
M172 and M172-i Durable Tag Details
Durable M172 tag labels are sealed on the inside of the clear polycarbonate enclosure via sonic-welding. This protects
both the label and the electronics from moisture and fluids. M172/i Tags can withstand salt water splashes, cleaning
solutions, germicides, disinfectants, etc. Powered by a coin cell battery, the tags will perform reliably in extreme
temperature environments (from -20 to +70 degrees Celsius) and after exposure to high humidity and/or to extreme hot
and cold cycles.
