Mounting methods

The SmartOne can be mounted using different methods depending on the mounting surface or user
preference.

Direct bolt or screw installation

It is strongly recommended to bolt the SmartOne unit to the asset using the provided mounting holes.
Four #6 machine screws (Pan head recommended) of the appropriate length are required. The unit can
also be mounted using self-tapping screws adapted to the mounting substrate.
NOTES:
-
Do not use chamfered (flat head) screws as this may damage the housing.
-
Do not over-tighten the mounting screws: DO NOT exceed 1.2 N.m (10 in.lb) torque
-
It is recommended to use 316 grade stainless steel fasteners for longevity.

Adhesive pad installation

If drilling holes into the asset is not practical, the SmartOne may be installed using the adhesive gasket.
To ensure proper strength for mounting, the following recommendations must be followed; failure to follow
proper procedure could lead to the SmartOne becoming detached from the asset in the field.
The ambient temperature must be above 10 °C and the asset must be protected from rain before and
during installation.
The mounting surface must be smooth and in good condition and be thoroughly cleaned using the
following procedure: use water and soap first to remove any dirt and residues from the mounting surface
and let dry. Wipe the mounting area and the bottom surface of the SmartOne with a solvent impregnated
clean cloth (such as Isopropyl Alcohol) and let air dry.
Peel one side of the adhesive gasket and install it to the bottom of the unit, ensuring the outer edges are
aligned properly.
Peel the other side of the adhesive gasket and place the SmartOne onto the asset. Apply at 80lb (350N)
of force to the unit for a minimum of three seconds to achieve full bonding strength.
