10 Mounting Transmitter on Wall or Secured Surface
Before the WOFS unit is mounted to a secured surface, the user should have determined
how the fiber optic loop is going to be secured around the device to be monitored.
 Ensure that the fiber loop surrounding the protected asset can be securely wrapped
around the section necessary to protect, and still reach the WOFS fiber optical
cable terminals.
 The Transmitter must be mounted so that the fiber connections to the seal are
inserted and oriented to minimize the strain on the fiber connections.
 The Transmitter contains an RF radio and should not be separated from the
Receiver by metal walls or more than 30 ft. Walls or large machinery between
the Transmitter and Receiver will reduce the communication range between the
two devices.
It is recommended to use the included mounting tape, which includes a hole for the TID to
protrude. If using mounting tape included with the WOFS unit, do the following:
1. Locate the back of the WOFS unit. The back of the unit box has four holes for the
recessed hex nuts, and a Tamper Identification Device (TID) button (See Figure 16). The
back can be differentiated from the front of the Transmitter box, which has Phillips-head
screws, and an LED light (see Figure 17).
