Active RFID Tags: Features, Specifications, and Deployment Guidelines
10
• Trim the tongue of the tag if necessary to more properly fit mount the tag with your rack configuration.
However, do not trim the adhesive completely from the tag or it will no longer stick to the asset.
• Remove the adhesive backing liner from the tongue and apply adhesive side down to the surface of the asset.
The tag adhesive bonds when force is applied, rather than by air activation. The tag should be forcibly pressed
down on the surface of the asset with 15 pounds of force for more than two seconds. The ideal adhesive ap-
plication temperature range is 60°F (21°C) to 100°F (38°C). Application is not recommended if the surface
temperature is below 50°F (10°C) because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. R104 tags should be
installed with the IR lens side down (label side up).
