 Glass cleaner
 Clean dry cloth
2.3.2 Preparation
 Clean an area a little larger than the tag on an object. Ensure that no dust, oil, grease or residue
remains.
 Position the gel pad over the back of the tag and align the hole in the pad with the embossed circle
on the tag. Remove the gel pad cover and stick the gel pad to the back of the tag. Make sure the
hole in the pad and the circle on the back of the tag are aligned.
2.3.3 Arming the anti-tamper (if using the TATGP-AT attachment kit)
 Once the gel pad is stuck firmly to the tag insert the small magnet into the pad and press around it.
Make sure the magnet has stuck firmly to the pad in the hole. The tag’s anti-tamper is now armed.
 It is recommended to place a spot of Superglue™ or other suitable adhesive on the magnet so that it
will adhere to the asset surface and be able to trigger a tamper alert more quickly should any
unauthorized attempt be made to remove a tag from its asset. Do not glue the magnet to the back of
the tag; this will prevent the anti-tamper feature from working.
2.3.4 Final steps
 Remove the other cover from the gel pad and position the tag in a suitable location on the asset.
Press firmly and ensure no air bubbles remain visible.
 The gel pad will take up to 24 hours to cure to full bond strength.
2.4 Removing the TGP
The tag may require removal from the object either at the end of its functional life, or in instances where the
tag has been damaged, or where the asset is at end of its life cycle and must be replaced or disposed of. In
the case of asset replacement or disposal and where the tag is still fully functional, the tag can be installed
onto a new asset with a new gel pad.
2.4.1 Requirements
 1 thin, flat instrument or blade, such as a dinner table knife
2.4.2 Removal
 Carefully insert the blade into the gel pad repeatedly, working all the way around the edge of the tag.
 Repeat this as many times as it take to loosen enough of the gel pad around the edge of the tag to
allow gentle twisting or rotation of the tag in a clock-wise then anti-clockwise manner. Use the blade
to continue loosening or breaking up the gel pad to allow greater rotation of the tag.
 Continue to twist the tag until it comes off the object.
Notes:
The anti-tamper feature will cause the tag to alarm immediately if any attempt is made to remove the tag
before the end of its functional lifespan.
Do not try to pull the tag off the object when removing it, the best way to break down the bond between the
gel pad and the tag & object is to rotate the tag clockwise and anti-clockwise repeatedly.
