Active RFID Tags: Features, Specifications, and Deployment Guidelines

• Remove the release liner from the back of the adhesive on the sensor film and wrap the fluid sensor film around
the surface of the pipe with the top side (side with the holes) pointing away from the surface of the pipe.
• Ensure that you do not overlap the sensor film.
• Secure the sensor film to the pipe by zip-tying around the sensor film and pipe at periodic intervals across the
length of the sensor film.
• Although the sensor film is flexible and allows for bending, take care to avoid creasing or pinching the sensor film
as this can cause the film to not work properly.
R135 Fluid Tag Wall Mounting
When mounting the R135 Fluid Tag to a wall, follow these guidelines and instructions:
• Position the R135 Tag on a wall near the pipe above the sensor connector.
• Apply the adhesive pad that was supplied to the back of the tag.
• Remove the release liner from the back of the tag and press firmly to mount the tag to the surface of the wall or
use screws to screw the tag and mounting bezel to the wall.
Tie-Wrap Mounting
If mounting the tag in an area where it could potentially be bumped or snagged, you may want to use a strain relief
method with the supplied tie-wrap and tie-wrap mount in order to position the sensor connector wire in such as way that
if snagged, the wire will not be ripped from the tag.
Flat Surface Mounting
In this mounting method, you will attach the R135 Fluid Detector Tag to a flat surface such as a floor or wall. When doing
so, follow these instructions and guidelines:
• Remove the release liner from the bottom side of the sensor film and position the sensor film on the section or
floor. Press firmly along the surface of the sensor film ensuring that there are no bubbles or kinks in the sensor
film and that it is smoothly flattened against the floor or wall surface.
• Apply the adhesive pad that was supplied to the back side of the sensor connector. Remove the release liner
from the adhesive and position the sensor connector on the floor or wall. Press firmly to adhere the connector.
