It is important to save the magnets after activation in the event you need to reset devices or want to return devices
to Sleep mode to preserve the remaining battery life. In order to reset the device, leave the magnet on for 5 to 10
seconds before removing.
Replacing and removing the magnet, also known as a reset, activates the scan. If the reset is not performed, the
device will not scan for the network again until the next scheduled heartbeat.
When magnet is added, the device will transition to Sleep mode within seconds. If device keeps sending location
data with the magnet in the slot, the reason could be:
MAGNET IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH (IS NOT THE ONE INCLUDED WITH THE DEVICE)
REED SWITCH IS FAULTY
VERIFY ACTIVATION
STEP 1:
Log into Application Dashboard
STEP 2:
Select View – make sure Installed box is
checked
STEP 3:
Check “Installed” column for install date &
“Actions” column for location icons if device is not
activated, it will show UNINSTALLED in the Actions
column
IF DEVICE DOES NOT SHOW ACTIVATED AFTER MAGNET
IS REMOVED:
1. Reattach magnet to the device (in the magnet slot on side
of device)
2. Make sure you are in a place with adequate wireless signal
(outside or near a window)
3. Leave magnet on the device for 5-10 seconds then remove
again
4. Allow a few minutes then refresh online browser and check
application
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
DO’S
Do install device with a clear line-of-sight to GPS
satellites and cell towers
Top label with QR Code on device facing up
Activate device outside of a building
Do install device using the approved P249-MAG
bracket with magnets on a metallic surface
DONT’S
Don’t install device inside a metal enclosure for
construction equipment installations (i.e., generators)
• Creates a Faraday cage: transmission of radio
waves to or from the device’s antenna within a
Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked
by the cage
Don’t install device in a place where it is exposed to
prolonged extreme temperatures or next to heat sources
(i.e., engines)
Don’t install device near a magnet as this may put the
device into Sleep mode by triggering the Reed Switch
