7.1 Drill Tap Hole
1. Drill and tap two holes on to a flat surface of the asset, that adhere
to the dimensions of the TAG in terms of location and size of holes.
2. Use a size # 4-40 screw tap to drill the hole.
3. Mount the TAG to a flat surface of the asset secure using screws
through the holes.
Precautions
When mounting the asset with drill and tap method, be sure that
1. The holes to be drilled are at locations that will NOT cause damage
to or hinder the proper operation and use of the asset.
2. The holes should be drilled on a flat surface area of the asset.
7.2 Secure Tie
The slot for secure tie is meant for a 3/16” (.1875) width zip tie. Standard
widths for ties are .170 - .180,
1. Slide a secure tie through the holes on the flanges on the tag.
2. Secure the two ends of the secure tie through any “loop” shaped
area on the exterior of the Asset that can be used as an anchor for
the secure tie.
Precautions
When mounting the asset with secure tie, be sure that
1. The secure tie is anchored to the asset at a location where it will
not get detached during regular operation and use of the asset.
2. Ideally the secure tie should be tightened to the point such that the
Tag does not impede the use of the asset (such as a “rattling” or
“hanging” tag.
