*The Chesterton ViewIn app requires Internet connectivity.
Your new Chesterton® mechanical seal has integrated
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, which contain
a unique serial number. Using both an RFID reader and
the Chesterton ViewIn web/mobile app, you can scan seals
with RFID tags at any time to access installation instructions,
device drawings, pressure test reports, materials of
construction, and supplementary items.* ViewIn facilitates
maintenance and can significantly simplify seal
identification.
Each S10/S20 seal is equipped with PEEK encapsulated
UHF RFID tag which are globally compliant. The technology
is on the outer edge of the mechanical seal gland as indicated
in Figure 1.
RFID READER
You must use an RFID reader, connected to an Internet-
capable mobile device on which the ViewIn mobile/web
app is loaded to scan and log each seal. ViewIn validated
RFID readers can be purchased from your local Chesterton
Sales Distributor.
Please verify that the reader meets all local regulatory and
licensing requirements in the country of use.
NOTES REGARDING RFID TAGS
Note the orientation of the RFID tag prior to installation
to ensure a direct line of sight for optimal scanning.
RFID tags meet the same chemical and temperature
compatibility requirements as the seal.
The tags are capable of being read up to 200°C (390°F),
but cannot be read above this temperature.
The tags can be read once the gland temperature has
cooled below the previously stated temperature limit.

detailed Bluetooth instructions).
Use an RFID reader to scan the embedded ViewIn technology
and record the seals unique serial number in the ViewIn
App. Whenever you’re connected to the internet you can
