Difficult is the average range on a non-metal surface.
The Nox-TM4 does not perform well without direct or near-direct contact to metal. Most laptops have metal areas that are ideal for tagging.
White Label or Yellow Label or No Label No Label will be all black with no human readable ID on tag
Code 128 or Code 93 1D barcode with last 6 digits of tag ID human readable
Encoding Schema: DoD EPC Format - Unique to your company using item-level tag identifier
List - Send custom list of 24 digit hex numbers
The NOX-TM4 is designed specifically for use on metal parts. Its small form factor makes it the perfect tag for tracking laptops, servers and tools. The NOX-TM4 is durable and withstands hazardous environments up to 400F including autoclave. NOX-TM4 tags can be boiled, crushed, burned or frozen and will always come out unscathed. This metal-mount RFID tag can be read reliably at 10' when applied directly to metal.

| Adhesive | A 3M 9472LE adhesive strip is attached. This works great for many commercial applications but it is a simple adhesive. For seriously demanding applications, we recommend a Loc-Tite product like part number 1356689. The tag and laptop are severely damaged when used with Loc-Tite and forcibly removed. |
1)
Will this tag work on non-metal parts?
Yes. However, the read range is significantly reduced to around 1 foot. We do offer a durable, non-metal mount version of this tag. However, if you don't need metal mount RFID, you should consider our a Nox-2 RFID tag.
2)
How do I attach the tag?
A 3M 9472LE adhesive strip is included on the back of the tag. This works well in commercial office environments. Additionally, the tag has two holes for using a screw mount or a super-adhesive/epoxy could be applied to provide a stronger bond.
3)
What do I need to send in to place an order?
a) Serial #'s - either a list or a range of numbers. These tags hold a 24 digit HEX
number. We recommend you use it all and encode the beginning with a header.
As RFID becomes more prevalent, using '1 through 1,000' will drive you crazy
because you will read thousands of other companies tags.
b) Label Type: Yellow, White, or None.
c) Barcode Format: Code 128 is standard.
d) Barcode value: We encode the last 6 digits and print human readable.
These can be HEX or Decimal. We recommend you use HEX.

I'm not sure what I need, I just need 1,000 asset tags. Please recommend a tag format.
This is pretty common so here's what we recommend:
- Yellow Label
- Code 128 Barcode
- Last 6 HEX digits displayed
- Pre-Programmed in the DoD EPC 24-digit Format
- Using SimplyRFiD's Department of Defense Guaranteed Unique ID
5)
What RFID Readers work with these tags?
All EPC Gen 2 Readers will work. For a great asset tracking RFID handheld, look at our NoxVault to get started.
