Nox-TM4 RFID Tag - Rugged Metal Mount (On-Metal) RFID Tag


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.

NEW: For an even smaller tag, our new Nox-TM3 is now available. Just 3 centimeters (1" in length).

AdhesiveA 3M 9472LE adhesive strip is attached. This works great for most commercial applications but it is... adhesive. For seriously demanding applications, the TM4 has two holes for permanent mounting using a carbon screw or similar. Optionally, an epoxy could be used.

Different Pre-encoding options:
  • 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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Will this tag work on non-metal parts?
    • Yes. However, the read range is significantly reduced to around 1 foot.
  • 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.
  • What do I need to send in to place an order?
    • 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 begining 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.
    • Label Type: Yellow, White, or None.
    • Barcode Format: Code 128 is standard.
    • 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
