* Read ranges are theoretical values that are calculated for non-reflective
environment, in where antennas with optimum directivity are used with
maximum allowed operating power according to ETSI EN 302 208 (2W
ERP). EU = 865 – 868 MHz, US = 902 – 928 MHz, JPN = 952-956 MHz.
Different surface materials may have an effect on performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Operating temperature
-35°C to +85°C / -31°F to +185°F
Ambient temperature
-35°C to +85°C /-31°F to +185°F
IP classification

Chemical resistance
No physical or performance changes in:
– 168 hour Motor oil exposure
– 24 hour Salt water (salinity 10%) exposure
– 24 hour Sulfuric acid (10%, pH 2) exposure
– 24 hour NaOH (10%, pH 13) exposure
Acetone should be avoided. For achieving increased
chemical tolerance, the tag is designed to be attached
with industrial adhesives such as polyurethane adhesives
or epoxies.
Expected lifetime
Years in normal operating conditions
Values in the table are the best recommendations; resistance against
environmental conditions depends on the combination of all influencing
factors, exposure duration and chemical concentrations. Thus, product’s
final suitability for certain environmental conditions is recommended to
be tested. Contact Confidex for more specific information.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Confidex Ironside SlimTM can be attached with several
fixing methods:
1. High performance acrylic adhesive (not included
by default)
When background adhesive is ordered the tag is delivered
with adhesive attached. When mounting the tag with its
adhesive background, clean and dry the surface for
obtaining the maximum bond strength. Ideal application
temperature is from +21°C to +38°C (+70°F to +100°F),
bond strength can be improved with firm application
pressure and moderate heating from +38°C to +54°C
(+100°F to +130°F). Installation at temperatures below
10°C (50°F) is not recommended.
2. Other adhesive fixings
• Polyurethane adhesives
• Epoxies
• Silicone sealants
Structural adhesives like 3M DP410 provide very high bond
strength and resistance against mechanical stress. When
tag is attached with sealant adhesive, insert a layer of
sealant under the tag and press the tag on the surface.
Increase the bond by adding extra sealant from the tag
holes. Adhesive type and thickness may have an effect on
tag performance. In general more than 2mm layer of
adhesive under the tag should be avoided. Please refer to
adhesive supplier for exact fixing instructions and test the
performance with chosen adhesive.
3. Mechanical fixing
Mechanical fixing is
recommended to be used in
every application that includes
risk for high mechanical stress
or low temperature during tag
fixing. During fixing make sure
there is no air gap left in
between the metal surface and tag. Hole dimensions are
identical with and without compression limiters. DIN 7985
M4 screws can be used as a reference.
To achieve the optimal performance locate the tag on
metal in a way that there is metal on both ends of the tag,
like shown below. Ideally the tag is placed on large even
metal surface with direct metal contact underneath the
whole tag. Tag polarization is along the longest dimension.
