Notes on installation
Note
Before you install the transponders, read this section carefully to ensure problem-free
installation and commissioning.
The transponders can only be used in conjunction with the RTLS localization system.
Install the transponder in such a way that it has a direct line-of-sight connection to the
gateways (360° panorama view). Any type of material can impact wireless localization.
Wireless localization through metal is not possible. In this case, localization may be based on
radio reflections and result in inaccurate localization.
Check the transponder for damage before you use it so that it is not damaged during
operation. The specified operating temperature ranges must be observed.
The transponder contains one lithium ion battery.
Contact with the battery fluid
Incorrect handling of the transponder may damage the battery and cause fluid to leak out of
the battery.
Avoid contact with the battery fluid. Rinse skin that comes into contact with battery fluid
with water. If fluid from the battery gets into the eye, seek medical attention.
Handling batteries
There is a risk of fire and, in extreme cases, of explosion in the following cases:
• If the battery is improperly charged and discharged
• If the polarity is reversed
• If a short-circuit occurs
This applies to lithium-ion batteries:
• Do not squeeze
• Do not heat and do not burn
• Do not short-circuit
• Do not disassemble
• Do not immerse in liquid - the battery may crack or burst
