This manual gives instructions for the correct method and location to attach the tag; failure to follow these
instructions will result in impaired operation or even the complete loss of tag signals.
6.2 Attaching the TG800-A-IH for Tracking Containers and Other Assets
6.2.1 Requirements
 TG800-A-IH tag (comes with VHB foam-gel pad attached)
 Anti-tamper spring magnet (supplied with the tag, to be fitted only once the tag has been
programmed and activated and is ready for attachment to the asset)
 Glass cleaner
 Clean dry cloth
6.2.2 Preparation
 Clean an area a little larger than the tag on an object. Ensure that no dust, oil, grease or residue
remains.
6.2.3 Arming the anti-tamper (using the spring loaded magnet provided with the tag)
• Fit the spring loaded magnet to the tag using a small diameter cylindrical tool (such as a ball point
pen casing) to press down the end of the spring magnet over the fitment stub in the magnet recess
on the back of the tag. Ensure the magnet is fitted firmly to the stub and is not capable of easy
removal.
 Once the spring magnet is fitted, remove the gel pad cover from the magnet. The tag’s anti-tamper is
ready and will be armed as soon as the tag is fitted to the asset.
6.2.4 Final steps
 Remove the paper cover from the gel pad on the back of the tag and position the tag in a suitable
location on the asset. Press firmly to ensure a firm bond.
 The gel pad will take up to 24 hours to cure to full bond strength.
 For all assets that will be driven or transported and/or which may experience rough handling and/or
cleaning with high pressure water jets it is strongly recommended to fix the TG800-A-IH tag to the
asset with screws or rivets in addition to the VHB gel pad. 4mm diameter screws or rivets are
suitable.
 It is helpful to first attach the tag to the asset using the VHB pad and then to drill the required holes
for the screws or rivets as the tag will be held in the correct location by the VHB pad while you are
working.
6.3 Removing the TG800-A-IH
The tag may require removal from the object either at the end of its functional life, or in instances where the
tag has been damaged, or where the asset is at end of its life cycle and must be replaced or disposed of. In
the case of asset replacement or disposal and where the tag is still fully functional, the tag can be installed
onto a new asset with a new VHB pad and screws/rivets.
