Preface

The PinPoint Asset Tracking and Management Solution uses
the PinPoint Asset tag to provide real-time locating and asset
management throughout a facility. The PinPoint Mobile
Resource Management software enables users to configure tags,
manage assets, and track equipment from any web enabled PC
or PDA. Refer to the PinPoint Asset Tracking and

Management Solutions Software and Configuration Guide for
details on tag configuration and the Mobile Resource
Management software.

WARNING: The PinPoint Asset Tracking and
Management Solutions is designed and intended to
work in conjunction with a facility’s overall asset
management and security program, including
reasonable operating policies and procedures. The
PinPoint Asset Management Solution, by itself,
cannot prevent the theft or loss of assets.

Intended Audience

The PinPoint Asset Tracking Tag User Guide is intended for
facility personnel who uses the PinPoint Asset Tag. It provides
detailed information about the tag mounting and cleaning
instructions, as well as specifications and compliances.

PinPoint Asset Tag

The PinPoint Asset Tag is a lightweight battery powered Wi-Fi
tag. It is designed to last for up to 3 years depending on the
check-in configuration and the motion of the tag. The tag
employs an on-board motion detector to maximize battery life.
The PinPoint Asset Tag transmits low battery alerts to enable
timely tag replacement.

The PinPoint Asset Tag is part of the PinPoint Asset Tracking
and Management Solutions. The tag aids in locating and
securing mobile assets and incorporates tamper detection
technology that alerts system users when a tag has been removed
from an asset.

Mounting Tags

Tags are small and can be attached to assets
using the adhesive tape that can be purchased
with the tags. Tags can also be mounted with a
lanyard or zip tie through the opening at the
top of the tag.

To apply the adhesive pad to the tag

1. Remove an adhesive pad from the strip of paper.

2. Place the tag face down.

3. Line the adhesive pad up with the back of the tag.

4. Apply the adhesive pad.

5. Verify that the pad is applied correctly and is not hanging over the sides of the tag.

6. If correctly applied the tag will activate and auto enroll into the Mobile Resource Management software. Refer to the PinPoint Asset Tracking and Management Solutions Configuration and Calibrations User Guide

To attach a tag to a asset using an adhesive pad

1. Obtain the asset to which you want to apply the tag. The asset surface must be clean, dry and free of condensed moisture.

2. Remove the plastic covering from the outside of the adhesive pad.

3. Firmly attach the tag to the asset. Ideal application temperature
range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).

4. Press firmly and hold for approximately 10 seconds to activate the pressure sensitive adhesive.

5. After application, the bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows onto the surface. At room temperature, approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength will be achieved after 20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours and 100% after 72 hours.

Mounting Tags Using a Lanyard or Zip Tie

Tags can also be mounted with a lanyard or zip tie through the
opening at the top of the tag.

Cleaning Tags

To clean a tag after use
