Use the appropriate size and length of the rivets. So how to choose the correct dimension of your rivets?
Rivet dimensionsFigure 1: Rivet dimensions D2: 12-14 mm is a good head diameter for 1100/1101 (dome or flat head) D1: 5-6 mm is a good diameter for 1100/1101 L: Rivet body length (decision depends on S) S: Grip range Rivet manufacturers give you the dimensions in D1 x L (e.g. 6 x 20). The rivet manufacturer gives the grip range for the different rivet dimensions that he provides,
e.g. GESIPA Blind rivets alu/steel dome head 6 x 20 has a Grip range of 13,00 - 15,00 mmDrillhole diameter: D1 + 0,1mm d: Mandrel diameter (needs to fit in your tool, a lot of rivet manufacturer/dealers don‘t have/show this information)
Tracker Thickes 8mm Asset material thicknessLast update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 5 For example: The length of the rivet should be equal to the thickness of both objects you are fastening the tracker to (mounting holes height + thickness material), plus 1.5 times the diameter of the rivet’s stem. Do not use rivets with a smaller diameter, this will not firmly attach the tracker. Do not use rivets with bigger diameter as you might damage the casing. The way to find your rivets • Choose the correct material of the rivet body • Determine the correct grip range (S) by adding tracker material thickness 8mm + material thickness of the asset • Choose your preferred rivet body diameter (5 or 6 mm) • Choose your preferred rivet head diameter (12 or 14 mm) • Make sure the mandrel diameter fits into your rivet tool. If you don’t know the maximum mandrel diameter that your tool can handle, you can determine that by sticking drills with different diameters into your rivet tool. There are often values on the rivet inserts of the riveting tool. These usually refer to rivet body diameters. However, since there are hundreds of different rivet variants on the market and almost every manufacturer does what they want, you should ignore this information and follow the recommendations in this document. Measuring is the best way. Other than others, GESIPA gives you the diameter of the mandrels). • Make sure you have enough drills with correct diameter, it can happen that you will break one or the other drill (rivet body diameter + 0,1mm (e.g. 6,1mm).

⚠ Do not use stainless steel rivets on aluminium assets. They cause corrosion on the asset . ⚠ Do not use steel rivets on aluminium assets. They can cause corrosion on the asset.Last update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 7 Bolts and screws Bolts and screws are harder to install than rivets because you need access to both the bolt and the nut. This is not always possible, for example when installing tracker on sidewall of a large container. The advantage of bolts and screws is that it is easier to remove them, rivets/glue/tape is harder.
Using glue in combination with bolts and screws is common practice but requires more work.
  1. Use the appropriate size of screws, see table below. If you don't use the correct sizes you risk damaging the tracker or having an unsafe installa!on.
  2. It is recommended to use thread locking glue on the bolts. Thread locking glue is used to prevent bolts coming lose due to vibra!ons. Pay addi!onal a”en!on to this if you are installing the tracker on a vibra!ng asset. We recommend Loc!te Thread Locker Blue 242.
  3. Protect the tracker casing appropriately: protect the casing with a washer and use a spring washer to mi!gate the effects of vibra!on and temperature varia!ons.
  4. Do not apply more torque than found in the below table. You risk to damage the casing if you exceed it.

However you need to be sure both tracker and the surface of the asset are clean. Double sided tape is strong but not so resistant to force applied sideways. Make sure the double sided tap only covers the back of the product. Avoid using double sided tape to attach a tracker or tag on an asset that is regularly exposed to vibrations or shocks. Most products can be mounted with double sided tape. Recommended tapes:
• 3M Acrylic Plus Tape Series PT1000 : h”ps://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40065692/ • 3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-110GF : h”ps://www.3mbelgie.be/3M/nl_BE/p/d/b40065748 Follow these steps when applying double sided tape:
  1. Make sure the surface of the asset and device are clean and dry.
  2. Sand the surface of the asset.
  3. Sand the backside of the device.
  4. Apply the double sided tape.
  5. Press the device firm onto the asset for a minute.
  6. Let it dry for at least 1 hours before moving the asset.
Figure 4 Moun!ng with double sided tape⚠ TRACK 1020 and TRACK 1030 cannot be mounted with double sided tape. The anti-tamper button needs to be pushed continuously to ensure proper working of the tracker. ℹ SENSE FL 4300 and GB 3000 already have the double sided tape from the factory. ⚠ TAG 2007 can be mounted with double sided tape but be carefull not to tape the battery sloth to the asset so you can still open it to replace the batteriesLast update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 9 Tie wraps We recommend metal tie wraps with a width of 5-6 mm.
In some cases, plastic tie wraps are also useful: if you need to remove the trackers often and fast for example. Take into account that tie wraps can be easily cut to take away the trackerProduct Tie wrap width TRACK 1110 6 mm TRACK 1100/1101/1140/1141 5 mm SENSE FL 4300 / TAG 2001 4 mm TAG 2006 4 mm ZA 3505 6 mmFigure 5 Moun!ng with !e wraps⚠ TRACK 1020 and TRACK 1030 cannot be mounted with tie wraps.

However, it's important to note that this method is best suited for controlled environments. In uncontrolled areas, there is a risk of malicious individuals removing the tracker, as well as potential damage to the surface of the asset. We offer a standard magnet mounting kit for these products.Product Description Sensolus reference TRACK 1000/1100/1101/1140/1210/1141 Magnet mounting kit for 1 TRACK 1100/1101/1140 tracker MNT MAG 8110 SENSE FL 4300

Use the holder if you can drill holes in the asset. The holder with screws is the safest mounting method for the listed sensors. Glue and double sided tape can react to heavy heat or cold temperatures.
You can mount the sensor using only the sticker (see mount with double sided tape). Or you can use the holder. You can mount the holder with double sided tape (see mount with double sided tape) or screws.Product Description Sensolus reference • SENSE T 4000 • SENSE T 4004 • SENSE HT 4050 • SENSE M 4201 • TAG 2002 ELA sensor mounting holder MNT ELA 8140Figure 8 Moun!ng with holdersLast update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 13 Mounting advice for trackers on specific materials Vibrating plastics in outdoor conditions Plastic may deteriorate over time from exposure to weather and vibrations. By using a combination of glue and bolts or rivets, you can securely fasten the device to the asset. Plastic boxes
Plastic boxes are handled by people, the stack them, let them drop sometimes, load them onto carriers and so on. Attaching trackers or Bluetooth tag trackers seems easy by gluing them. Check the material of the plastic box and look for a glue or silicone that is suited for the material. When glued, wait for at least 6 hours to handle the plastic box.
Metal in outdoor conditions Trackers We recommend to use mechanical mounting on metal in outdoor conditions. Rivets or blots and screws are a good solution. Please check the mounting advice for rivets and bolts.
Tags Glueing Bluetooth tag trackers onto metal assets works fine. Use of correct glue and respect drying times is essential. You can find the correct type of glue and drying times in the glue chapter of this document.Last update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 14 Fill Level Sensor Installation Instructions Mounting Overview The fill level sensor can be securely mounted using double-sided tape or industrial-grade polymer glue. Proper adhesion and sealing are critical to ensure accurate readings and long- term durability, especially in environments exposed to moisture. Tools and Materials Needed • Clean cloth or isopropyl alcohol wipes • Industrial-grade polymer glue (if chosen) • High-quality waterproof double-sided tape (if chosen) • Sensor unit • Personal protective equipment (if using glue) Installation Steps
  1. Surface Preparation o Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to remove any dust, oil, or moisture. o Ensure the surface is smooth and dry before proceeding.
  2. Apply Adhesive (Choose One Method) Option A: Double-Sided Tape o Cut the tape to match the size of the sensor’s mounting surface. o Important: Apply the tape so it covers 100% of the mounting area. o Press the tape firmly onto the back of the sensor. Option B: Industrial-Grade Polymer Glue o Apply the glue evenly across the entire mounting surface of the sensor. o Important: Avoid gaps or air pockets—coverage must be complete for a secure bond.
  3. Mount the Sensor o Press the sensor firmly against the mounting surface. o Hold or support the sensor for the adhesive’s recommended curing or bonding time.
Last update: Thursday, June 12, 2025 15 4. Seal the Lens Area (If Applicable) o If mounting on the lens side, ensure that no water can enter between the lens and the surface. o Use additional sealing tape or waterproof barrier if necessary. o Recheck to confirm the lens is tightly sealed and protected from moisture ingress.
  1. Final Check o Inspect the bond to ensure the sensor is flat and secure. o Allow glue to fully cure before exposing the sensor to operational conditions (refer to manufacturer’s glue curing time).
Tips for Best Results • Apply the sensor in dry conditions to avoid condensation during installation. • Avoid repositioning the sensor once adhered. • For outdoor or high-moisture applications, waterproof double-sided tape is preferred unless glue offers a more permanent solution.
