General guidelines
• Make sure the tracker is not fully surrounded by metal parts, as this blocks the signal.
• Protect the tracker by the container's shape if possible:
• Between metal ribs
• On metal studs
• Do not install the tracker on outside sticking parts of the waste container, as the tracker might get
damaged by the transport of the waste container.
• Keep the picking up and putting down of the waste container in mind. Do not install the tracker close to
the pick up parts of the container.
• Avoid installation on moving parts of the container at all times.
