Mounting the Anti-Tempering Device | 11
2. Snap the tag into the cradle, the tag’s front side facing outwards and
the upper side up.
3. If you are using a two-flange tag, the possibility exists to fasten to
bottom flange to the cradle’s flange.
Mounting the Anti-Tempering Device
The optional anti-tampering switch is designed to alert the system (for
example by issuing a message) when the tag is removed from its place. The
switch is a separate part inserted into a hole at the back of the tag. When the
tag is pressed against a surface and fixed on it, the switch is depressed and
the mechanism is armed. The removal of the tag releases the switch and
causes the tag to send an alert to the AeroScout System Manager.
The anti-tampering device is especially designed for use with objects (and
not human beings or animals).
Anti-tampering switches come in two models: long and short. A long switch
is needed to press it against a surface through and beyond the cradle. The
short switches are supplied with T3-BD tag and the long ones with the
cradles.
The mounting procedure should follow configuration. Follow these general
steps:
1. Configure the tag, using Tag Manager. See
Tag Manager User Guide
.
2. Activate the anti-tampering mechanism and configure it using Tag
Manager.
3. Mount the tag as explained in the following sections.
Option 1 – Tamper Switch Pressed against Surface
(without Cradle)
In this case, the tag is fixed on a surface and the tampering switch is pressed
against that surface. Use a two-flange tag and the short tampering switch.
1. Insert the short switch into the hole at the tag’s back.
2. Firmly secure the two-flange tag on the surface, using four screws,
making sure that the switch is pressed against the surface. This is the
recommended procedure but you can also apply a thin layer of glue or
use double-sided tape.
