2 Safety Precautions
Important Safety Note
The devices described in this manual is for exclusive operation by trained employees. Only qualified personnel
that know the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair of
the units used.
Operational Safety
The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety
measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
If there is a possibility that safe operation cannot be guaranteed the system must be switched off and secured
against accidental use. Then the service unit responsible must be informed.
Do Not Clean The Device In a Dish Washer
Do not open the housing
There is no need to open the housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Set-up and configuration
during initial operation is done wireless with the built-in air interface.
Handling Safety
On account of high operating temperature of 80 °C (+176 °F) care must be taken, if the tags are heated. To
avoid burn wait a while until the tags have cooled down or use gloves. At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F)
tags can be iced. In this case, wait a while until tags are warmed up or use gloves.
Battery Inside
All tags contain a battery. That is the reason for the following instructions:
Warning
Fire, explosion and burn hazard
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type
Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F)
Do not incinerate, or expose contents to water
Electrostatic Discharge
This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe
the special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the
invalidation of the warranty.
Safety Documents
This ILR system was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition according to document test report
EN60950.
Condensation/Change of Temperature
Moving the systems from a cold to a warm environment could lead to dangerous situations due to
condensation. Therefore it must be ensured that the system can adjust itself to the warmer temperature.

Installation and Operation Manual
3 Tag Mounting And Initial Operation
The tag is equipped with a factory pre-set software, that takes up its job automatically whenever the tag is
attached to a bottle neck. When out of use the tag can be switched off with a handling procedure. Therefore
no configuration is needed in order to operate the tag.
3.1 Mounting And Switching The Tag On
The tag is mounted onto the neck of a bottle
Push the tag onto the neck of a
bottle.
The orientation has to be so, that
the label on front can be read in
storage position for best appearance.
After the tag is attached to a bottle it automatically takes up its custom-specific pre-programmed monitoring
of the bottle position. Therefore it sends out small data packages regularly and burst different short data
packages whenever the bottle changes its position.
3.2 Shutting Off The Tag
For shipping, transportation and long term storage the tag has the possibility to bring it into a dormant mode.
If the tag is simply removed from the neck of the bottle it will still remain active sending out a status
message.
The dormant mode is activated by a special sequence:
• Start a pour and tilt the bottle horizontally
• Wait about 4 seconds
• Detach the tag while the bottle is still horizontal.
The tag is automatically switched on again after it is re-mounted to the neck of a bottle.
