2Product Identification
2.1 Main Function
The Bosch TRACI Tag is part of the the Bosch Asset Tracing Solution (hereafter referred to as
“TRACI”). TRACI is a system solution for remote localization and monitoring of vehicles, machiner y
and goods. TRACI comprises hardware, software (e.g. App) and services (e.g. connectivity, cloud
services). The Bosch TRACI Tag is the major hardware component of the system.
The Bosch TRACI Tag is a robust, durable and retrofittable Internet of Things (“IoT”) unit. It records
and transmits sensor data to a cloud via various radio standards. For all vehicles. machinery and
goods that are fitted with the Bosch TRACI Tag, the system is able to provide, exchange and visualize
information regarding position and operating conditions.
The customer must ensure that the Bosch scope of delivery complies with the requirements on the
functional safety within the overall system. It is the customer’s responsibility to validate these
documented requirements, their implementation and the assumptions made for this purpose.
The Bosch TRACI Tag is only avaible in combination with a Bosch Asset Tracing Solution
contracting. The contracting includes the “Terms of Service”, “Data Privacy Statements” and
“Contracting for Order Data Processing” (“ODP”).

►Fixing or mounting of the Bosch TRACI Tag may at no time affect the safe use of the
tagged asset. In particular, the following places are not suitable for mounting the Bosch TRACI
Tag:
-protective equipment,
-ventilation shaft and louvers,
-control elements,
-moving or rotating components,
-nameplates, official license plates and lighting equipment,
-service and clutch areas as well as soft grip surfaces,
-areas in close proximity to flying sparks as well as areas with strong thermal or mechanical
impact,
-Areas of importance for the structural integrity of the object.
Assembly instrcutions and mounting situation
High temperatures and heat effect can damage the battery
-Do not expose the Bosch TRACI Tag to direct sunlight.
-Mount the Bosch TRACI Tag in a safe distance to hot surfaces (for example engines, coolers
or exhaust systems).
Avoid contact with corrosive media, these can damage the Tag.
►Deployment of the Bosch TRACI Tag in areas with explosion protection requirements is
not allowed.
Use and treatment:
►Do not open the housing
-The housing is watertight. Do not open the housing. Do not try to exchange the battery.

2.3.2 Warning Notes
Caution
Lithium Battery!
The Bosch TRACI Tag contains a lithium battery. The device is not designed to change the battery!
It is not allowed to open the housing! Use of non-original (e.g. opened) Bosch TRACI
Tags may lead to hazards.
Handling the battery incorrectly could cause a fire. It is not allowed to change the battery!
When the batteryis empty, please referto chapter 2.9 “Disposal and Re cycling” for
further information.
►Do not exchange or recharge the battery
-Bosch TRACI Tag is equipped with a non-rechargeable lithium battery. Improper use can
cause leakage of battery liquid. Avoid contact with battery liquid. Leaking battery liquid can
cause skin irritations or skin burns. In case of contact, wash off with water immediately. In
case of contact of the battery liquid with the eyes, consult medical assistance. In case of
damages to the battery, fumes can escape. These fumes can cause irritations to the
respiratory tract. Provide sufficient fresh air and consult a doctor when feeling signs of
discomfort.
►Short circuit prote ction
-A broken housing of the Bosch TRACI Tag can lead to a short circuit. For storage, transport
and disposal of a damaged Bosch TRACI Tag, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects which can cause a short circuit between the
contacts of the battery. A short circuit can cause fire.
Notice
Precautions!
Do not use or store the Bosch TRACI Tag in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, or sources of heat. Failure to do so could result in battery leakage,
overheating, or damage. This can result in burns or other injuries.
Install the product at a sufficient distance from e ngines, exhaust systems and electrical
equipment.
For any question regarding service, please refer to chapter 2.7 “General Remarks on
Service, Repair and Maintenance”.
Info

requirements on packaging and labelling must be observed. For preparation of the item being
transported, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required.
No special safety procedures apply to the storage of lithium batteries with low power. When storing
larger amounts (> 7 m ³) attention has to be paid on the regulations for fire prevention (e.g. no
storage with other products and monitoring of rooms with fire detectors).
Please pay special attention to the safety and warning notes!
Notice
Transport
In order to protect the Bosch TRACI Tag the device must be transported in its original packaging
and only be unpacked shortly before mounting.
Bosch TRACI Tags with damaged housing (e.g. dropped during shipment) must not be
used anymore. In case of a damage, please referto chapter2.9 “Disposal and Recycling”.
Devices with used, discharged batteries should be replaced and properly disposed in a
time ly manner.
For any question regarding disposal, please refer to chapte r 2.9 “

4.8 .2 Mounting
To provide on-board sensor technology’s functionality throughout the entire service life, a permanent
connection between the two housing bushings of the Bosch TRACI Tag and the tagged vehicle,
machine or other asset is necessary.
When mounting the Bosch TRACI Tag, please
make sure that the side with the Bosch Logo is
facing upwards.
To mount of the Bosch TRACI Tag, use M6
scre
ws strength class 8.8 with a ZnNi
coating. The tightening torque should be
9Nm±2Nm. The maximum pre load force of
10kN may not be exceeded. For any affixing
of the Bosch TRACI Tag deviating from this,
it has to be made sure that this connection
bears all loads occurring during usage.
The Bosch TRACI Tag’s housing may only touch
the mounting surface in the zones of the housing
bushings. For this reason, the evenness of the
mounting surface must be ensured. Also, the
mounting of the Bosch TRACI Tag at the two
fixing points must be carried out on the same
mounting structure.
Notice
Mounting the Device
The Bosch TRACI Tag should be mounted in unshielded conditions. It should be mounted more
than 3m away from any atenna.
The responsibility for the device’s permanent fixation to the tagged vehicle, machine or other
asset throughout the entire service life lies with the customer.
Mounting the Bosch TRACI Tag with rivets is not permitted.
The use of washers or spacers sleeves between the housing bushing and screw-on
surface is not permitted.
Mounting the Bosch TRACI Tag simultaneously on 2 or more diffe re nt
surfaces/structures is not permitted.
The material the Bosch TRACI tag gets fixated on has to be sufficiently corrosion-
resistant and has to ensure the safe fixation throughout the entire service life.
Note, that the loads can strongly vary depending on the machine type to be monitored, the
place of action, the installation location, the means of transport and so on.
Info
Accessories
Screws and tools must be purchased separately.

4.8 .5 Storage
The optimal storage temperature range is 0°C to 40°C.
Do not store the Bosch TRACI Tag in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
or sources of heat. Failure to do so could result in battery leakage, overheating, or damage. This can
result in burns or other injuries.
No special safety procedures apply to the storage of lithium batteries with low power. For the storage
of larger amounts attention has to be paid on the regulations for fire prevention (e.g. no storage with
other products and the storeroom is to be monitored by a fire detector).
