How do I install Kin/KinEx?

Trackunit Kin/KinEx are the Bluetooth tags built for asset tracking that you can install on any type of non-powered asset.

Updated over a week ago

Trackunit KinEx has been discontinued and is no longer sold. Existing devices will continue to work for now. For more information, contact your Trackunit representative.

You can install Trackunit Kin/KinEx using either glue, screws, or zip ties:

  • Glue mounting recommendation: Single component MS-Polymer adhesive (windshield adhesive)


Note: Clean surface with Isopropyl or Acetone before mounting.


  • Screw mounting recommendation: Pan head tapping screw BN 13274 Art-Nr.3060133.

  • Zip Ties mounting for cable or handtools: Stainless steel or strong nylon zip ties – width 4.8mm.

You can install Trackunit Kin/KinEx on basically any type of asset you want to keep track of. Others are getting great value out of installing Trackunit Kin/KinEx on buckets, rammers, vibrator plates, hammers, Auger Bits, light towers, pallet trucks, grabs and generators.

To optimize Bluetooth range, avoid close signal interference or signal-blocking material like mounting beneath or inside metal. Always make sure that the Kin is mounted with the QR-code facing outwards, and the backside (the flat side of the Kin) facing the machine/metal.
