Our intuitive, reliable and scalable technology, developed through our extensive oil and gas industry experience, provides you with on-demand access to unique operational insight. Geoforce provides asset management solutions utilizing a blend of GPS, RFID and other wireless technologies accessible via customizable web-based software and enterprise grade web services. With the largest satellite asset tracking deployment in the oilfield, Geoforce is proven to increase efficiency, transparency and profits. © Geoforce Inc., All Rights Reserved - version 130710a 3 GT0 User, Safety and Regulatory Guide | Geoforce Inc. GT0 Installation and Mounting Guide Step 1: Selecting a Mounting Location To ensure ideal performance please consider the following: 1. Select a mounting location that provides the best view of the sky. 2. A horizontal mounting position (lying flat, facing skyward). 3. Mount on the flattest and hardest surface possible. 4. Select a mounting location that isolates the GT0 from damage. 5. Recommended mounting area size is 7”L x 4”W. 6. Thoroughly clean the mounting area. Step 2: Record the Asset and GT0 Serial Numbers 1. Record the GT0 serial number. 2. Record the asset serial number (on which the GT0 was installed). 3. Send this information to your Geoforce account administrator. Step 3: Selecting a Mounting Method Mechanical Mounting Utilizing the optional metal mounting bezel Socket-Head Cap Screws (1/4” or 6mm bolt diameter) For installations that can be drilled and tapped and do not have access to the back side of the mounting surface. Hex-Head Cap Screws (1/4” or 6mm bolt diameter) For installations that have access to the back side of the mounting surface for securing a nut or bolt. Self-drilling Sheet-metal Screws (1/4” or 6mm diameter) For installations with thinner mounting surfaces where a quicker install is needed. It is recommended to use fasteners made of a material that resists corrosion and environmental weathering such as stainless steel. VHB Adhesive Mounting For installations that are isolated from abuse, extreme weather and temperatures the GT0 has pre-installed pads of VHB adhesive tape that can be used to “peel and stick” to any clean surface above 50F (10C). Using VHB REQUIRES installing to the Geoforce VHB installation guide process. Temporary and Fastener Free Mounting Metal straps and “Zip-ties” (1/4” or 6mm strap width) For installations that are quick and temporary or that may require a simple mechanical backup for VHB installations. Step 4: Initializing the GT0 Remove RED magnet lanyard from GT0 to begin servi…
