C.1 Rivets
Important Information:
(1) A temperature of at least +10°C (+50°F) must be maintained during riveting to prevent the casing from
cracking.
(2) Always position the blind-rivet gun straight down on the rivet site and all the way to the rivet socket.
(3) On occasion, a tag casing has been damaged through improper handling of the blind-rivet gun (slanted
positioning of the gun to access the rivet socket). If there is a chance this might occur, it is better to use
a blind rivet with a large head

or insert an M5 washer. This has the effect of distributing the pressure
over a larger surface area during riveting. The use of the washer has the added effect of positioning the
rivet slightly higher in the depression, so that one can better access the rivet socket with the rivet gun.
(4) Metal surfaces in direct proximity to the tag can reduce the tag’s range of function. Tags should therefore
not be mounted in metal recesses or corners.
(5) After mounting, the tag’s function should be tested, i.e. with a handheld.
