2.3.3 Mounting and Installing the Outdoor Style Beacon
1. From the MPact Toolbox, select a site floor plan and an unassigned position for the beacon. Refer to the MPact Location &
Analytics Deployment Guide for information on how to install and deploy the beacon from the Toolbox.
To prepare the Outdoor style beacon for mounting:
.a Prepare a surface for mounting the Outdoor style beacon with 3M VHB double-sided tape. See
section 2.3.3.1 Preparing
Surface for Mounting with 3M VHB Double-sided tape:
on page 2-7
Or
.b Prepare to mount the Outdoor style beacon with two No. 6 gauge or M3.5 screws (not included).
2.3.3.1 Preparing Surface for Mounting with 3M VHB Double-sided tape:
To prepare a surface before mounting the Outdoor style beacon to a wall with 3M VHB double-sided tape:
Clean the surface with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water before applying 3M™ VHB™ tape.
Some surfaces may require additional preparation such as the following:
• Use degreasers or solvent-based cleaner to remove heavy oil or grease from a surface followed by cleaning with IPA/water
• Abrade the surface, followed by cleaning with IPA/water to remove heavy dirt or oxidation and increases surface area to
improve adhesion.
• Prime the surface to improves initial and ultimate adhesion to many materials such as plastics and paints..
• Seal porous and fibered materials such as wood, particleboard, and concrete to provide a unified surface.
After preparing the surface the Outdoor Style beacon is now ready to be mounted.
2.3.3.2 Mounting Outdoor Style Beacon
To mount a Outdoor Style beacon with 3M™ VHB™ tape:
1. Peel the plastic off from 3M™ VHB™ tape.
2. Press the backside of the Outdoor Style beacon firmly to a smooth clean mounting surface.
To mount a Outdoor Style beacon with No. 6 gauge or M3.5 screws :
1. Press the backside of the beacon to the mounting surface.
2. Insert screws into the screw holes shown in Figure 2-8 on page 2-8.
NOTE: If the surface is clean and smooth, the 3M VHB tape should be used to mount the
beacon. However, is wood, brink or some other surface that is not smooth and clean, the
3M tape will not adhere to the surface. Use the appropriate screws for mounting (not
included). When using screws to mount to a surface, do not expose the 3M VHB tape.
NOTE: Zebra recommends not removing the plastic backside of the 3M tape when
mounting the beacon with screws..
