Introduction
This document will provide the correct procedure for applying the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to different types of surfaces. This will correspond with the different types of equipment that will receive the tags.Installation on Nonmetallic Material
Note: Temperature must be above 10 °C (50 °F). The temperature must stay above 10 °C (50 °F) for at least one hour in order to allow proper adhesion to the surface.Note: General guidelines for location of RFID tags
Place the tag in a location that provides protection.
Place the tag so that normal operation is not affected.
Avoid pivot points and uneven surfaces.The time may come when it will be necessary to remove a tag. Reinstall the tag with 3M 4951 VHB tape. Contact your local Cat Rental Store in order to obtain this tape.

Typical nonmetallic application
Determine the location of the tag.
Record the Tag Serial Number that is located on the side of the tag.
Record the Unique Identifying Number of the equipment that is being tagged.
Clean the surface area with isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to dry completely.
Remove the protective material from the tape and place the tag on the equipment. Press firmly on the tag in order to remove any air bubbles that may be between the tape and the surface.Installation on Metal
