Installation

Install the Viking Slim Wirepas tag in a HITS positioning environment

Before installation

Verify that the HITS infrastructure is operating:

  • The gateway is installed and started.
  • EH Locators are installed and started, with at least one Locator operating in router mode within range.
  • The tag can communicate with the installed positioning infrastructure.

Keep the distance to the nearest installed tag below 20 m as a deployment guideline. During installation, avoid strong nearby RF sources such as Wi-Fi routers.

Choose the installation location

  • Keep the installation temperature below +60 °C during operation.
  • Choose a location where the tag is protected from impacts.
  • Avoid placing the tag deep inside metal structures, which can reduce signal quality.
  • Use a dry, suitable mounting surface and appropriate mounting hardware.

The Confidex Slim tag is rated IP64: dust-tight and protected against splashing water. This rating does not make the tag suitable for immersion or high-pressure water exposure.

Mount the tag

  1. Position the tag at the selected location.
  2. Confirm that it is not exposed to impacts or enclosed deeply in metal.
  3. Attach it using screws or other suitable mounting hardware.
  4. Verify the tag status and positioning after installation.
