Figure 1 Tie Wrap Style Beacon
NOTE: When installing numerous beacons, group beacons by category and activate them prior to
scanning the barcodes and associating them with positions in the Toolbox.
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.
Mount the beacon to a pole or similar structure using the plastic tie wrap. Tie can be placed vertically or
horizontally but the arrow should still point up.
To activate a beacon part number MPACT-T1B20-000-WR, pull the mylar strip off the beacon housing.
IMPORTANT: After pulling off the last mylar strip, you have 20 seconds to associate the beacon in either
off-line or on-line mode using the Toolbox application.

should be oriented similar to the tie wrap style of beacon housing (see MB1000 Beacon:
