      \# Installing the zone achor
      Attach the zone anchor on the wall
      Guidelines how to mount the tracker can be found here.
      Power the zone anchor
      The zone anchor can operate independently on its internal battery or you can connect the zone anchor to the standard
      electrical network using a power cable and adapter.
      If you use the internal battery you can skip this.
      Activation of the trackers is preferably done with clear skies, and not inside (e.g. factory or warehouse).
      Trackers are not activated when delivered to your premises.
      Their subscription in the platform will start within six months of purchase.
      1
      Put the cable onto the
      connector. Only the
      black plastic piece will
      go into the connector.
      Do not force this
      →
      2
      Tighten the
      connection by gently
      screwing the cable
      into the connector.
      Do not force this as
      well.
      →
      3
      Check if the power
      cable is connected
      well.
      4
      Plug into the
      netpower.
      Activation of the zone anchor
      Activation of the zone anchors is preferably done with clear skies, and not inside (e.g. factory or warehouse). Zone anchors are
      not activated when delivered to your premises. Their subscription in the platform will start within six month of purchase.

      1
      Hold a magnet for
      about 5 seconds on
      top of the logo on the
      zone anchor.
      →
      2
      You will first see a red
      LED. Do not remove
      the magnet yet.
      →
      3
      When the green LED
      is blinking you can
      remove the magnet.
      The zone anchor is
      ready for use.
      General installation advice
      Activation of the zone anchors is preferably done with clear skies, and not inside (e.g. factory or warehouse). Zone anchors are
      not activated when delivered to your premises. Their subscription in the platform will start within six month of purchase.
      Avoid blocking the tracker\&#39;s view with metal
      or carbonfibre walls. They weaken or block
      the radiofrequency signals.
      Install the tracker vertically, with the logo
      facing up.
      Place the tracker around 3 meter high on a
      wall to ensure scanning coverage.
      Conditions and surrounding materials
      Concrete has an impact on the range of
      Bluetooth signals.
      Water absorbs the Bluetooth signals, Large
      amounts of water will impact the range and
      detectability of the zone anchor.
      Metal reflects the Bluetooth signals, Large
      amounts of metal will impact the range and
      detectability of the zone anchor.

      January 19, 2026 9:47 AM
      Force new configuration download on the tracker
      1
      Hold a magnet for
      about 5 seconds on
      top of the logo on the
      asset tracker. You will
      see a green LED.
      →
      2
      You will see a red and
      green LED. Now
      remove the magnet.
      →
      3
      Green LED is blinking
      for minimum 30
      seconds. Your tracker
      is checking for new
      configurations.
      →
      You see a red LED:
      No new
      configuration
      received.
      You see a green
      LED: New
      configuration setting
      received.
      Troubleshooting

      1. Put the magnet on the tracker for less than 5 seconds
      2. The possible LED feedback options are:
         Red LED: Tracker is not activated

         Industry Canada Statement
         This device complies with ISED\&#39;s licence-exempt RSSs.
         Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
         This device may not cause harmful interference, and
         This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
         Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
         by Industry Canada.
         To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
         not more than that necessary for successful communication.
         RF Exposure Requirements:
         This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
         This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body.
         Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d\&#39; ISED applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
         L\&#39;exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
      3. le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et
      4. ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.
         Conformément à la réglementation d\&#39;Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d\&#39;un type et d\&#39;un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
         approuvé pour l\&#39;émetteur par Industrie Canada.
         Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radio électrique à l\&#39;intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d\&#39;antenne et son gain de sorte que la
         puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l\&#39;intensité nécessaire à l\&#39;établissement d\&#39;une communication satisfaisante.
         Déclaration d\&#39;exposition aux radiations:
         Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d\&#39;exposition aux rayonnements du Canada établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.
         Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.

      Safety advice – device subjected to strong mechanical impact
      Risk of delayed battery failure and chemical hazard
      If a device has been hit, crushed, or struck by a heavy object (for example a forklift, container, pallet, or falling load), the
      internal components and battery may be damaged even if no external damage is visible. Such damage can result in delayed
      overheating, leakage, or failure.
      If a device has been subjected to a strong mechanical impact, the following mandatory safety actions must be taken:
      \#
      Action
      Details
      1
      Do not touch the device
      Do not move, lift, open, shake, or inspect the
      device immediately after the impact. Internal
      damage may cause delayed reactions.
      2
      Keep a minimum safety distance
      Maintain a clear distance of at least 5 meters
      from the device. Keep all personnel away
      during this period.
      3
      Wait at least 10 minutes
      The device must remain untouched and
      undisturbed for a minimum of 10 minutes
      following the impact. This waiting time
      allows potential delayed thermal or chemical
      reactions to become evident.
      4
      Observe from a safe distance
      Watch for warning signs: smoke, vapor, or
      unusual odor; heat generation; fluid leakage;
      hissing, cracking, or popping noises.
      5
      After the waiting period
      If any abnormal condition is observed,
      isolate the area immediately and notify
      responsible safety or supervisory personnel.
      The device must be quarantined and
      handled according to battery safety and
      disposal procedures. The device must not be
      used.
      A device may appear undamaged and still be unsafe. Normal operation after impact does NOT mean the device is safe.
      Failure to follow this safety advice may result in serious injury, fire, or chemical exposure.
