An electronic shelf label is a device that shows article data and price information on its display. In comparison to printed labels, the information is automatically updated if price
or article data changes.
The SES-image tag electronic shelf label family offers high-quality display options, operating with a replaceable battery, thus working without any external power supply.
The SES-imagotag VUSION (2.4GHz) electronic shelf label family can change all pixels to black, white, or red/yellow. The current line-up has display sizes from 1.6 inches to 12.2 inches.
They may be used in landscape and portrait mode and can be configured in terms of radio, theft protection, display protection, and LED flash.

General remarks
The SES-imagotag VUSION Labels must be installed according to the mounting instructions of the producer. In rare cases, it may occur that the usage of wireless appliances is restricted by the building owner (e.g. Airport or Hospital). Please contact the appropriate authorities before installing the SES-imagotag VUSION Labels.
Environmental
General
E-Paper displays are moisture and UV sensitive. The absolute rating operating environments describes the boundary conditions for updating the display while the absolute rating storage environment (see Storage and warehousing) describes the boundary conditions for a display not updating.
| BW | BW (Wide temp/Ïíeezeí) | BWR | |
| Opeíating tempeíatuíe | 0° C to +45° C | -25° C to +30° C | 10° C to +40° C |
| Opeíating tempeíatuíe foí maximum lifetime | 21° C | 21° C | 21° C |
| Opeíating humidity | 30% – 80% | 30% – 80% | 35% – 70% |
Cleaning Instructions
Clean the electronic label with the help of a damp cloth. Use only common household cleaners.
Do not clean the label with alcohol, solvents, and/or abrasive cleaning products.
Note: Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners and keep them away from water.
Temperature and Humidity Conditions
High humidity combined with low temperature are not recommended.
Low temperature will reduce the battery lifetime.
Storage and warehousing
While displays are rated to perform according to specification for the warranty period at the absolute specified operating environment, the better the storage condition, the better the E-Paper displays will perform. Like other moisture and UV sensitive components, we recommend that our labels are stored in temperature and humidity-controlled environments, and whenever possible, under below defined Optimal Storage Conditions, away from sunlight, to optimize their performance. It is strongly recommended to observe the following points to ensure the best operation, functioning, and battery lifetime:
Storage temperature and humidity
| BW | BW (Wide temp/Ïíeezeí) | BWR | |
| Stoíage tempeíatuíe | -20° C to +50° C | -20° C to +50° C | -20° C to +50° C |
| Stoíage humidity | 30% – 80% | 30% – 80% | 40% – 70% |
| Optimal stoíage tempeíatuíe | 0° C to +30° C | 0° C to +30° C | 0° C to +30° C |
| Optimal stoíage humidity (non-condensing) | 40% – 60% | 40% – 60% | 40% – 60% |
- Do not operate any ESL Infrastructure (e.g. SES-imagotag AP-2010 or MAP 2014T/Lancom L-151E, … ) in a warehouse storing labels or where the radio coverage will activate stored labels.
- The label will permanently try to connect to the access point, leading to a less usable battery lifetime.
- The maximum storage time of labels should not exceed 0.5-1 year If these listed limits do not comply, the specified battery life can vary, and display quality can be influenced negatively.
Intended Use
The VUSION electronic shelf label family is exclusively designed to connect to Access Points of the company SES-imagotag or acknowledged partners via radio.
The device may only be used in areas where the environmental fulfill the requirements described in the chapter “Environmental”.
Improper use
The SES-imagotag is not responsible and does not assume liability for damage or injury to persons, property, environment, and the VUSION electronic shelf label family itself caused by improper installation or improper handling.
The operator assumes liability for any damage that results from improper use.
The following usage is not allowed:
- Don’t drop VUSION Family Labels.
- Keep VUSION Family Labels away from water.
- Don’t use the VUSION Labels with defective parts.
- Don’t use the VUSION Labels with spare parts and accessories which are not examined and approved by SES-imagotag.

The SES-imagotag VUSION Labels do not contain parts, except batteries, that are allowed to be maintained by the user.- The SES-imagotag VUSION Labels must NOT be dismantled. For necessary maintenance or repair works always contact the manufacturer.
- Don’t throw VUSION Labels into the dustbin. Deposit VUSION Labels at a reprocessing company.
- Contact SES-imagotag for more details about the removal process.
- Please do not use any liquid or spray cleaners directly on the surface of the VUSION Labels.
- SES-imagotag takes no responsibility for stolen VUSION Labels without encryption.
- KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
- Swallowing batteries may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.
- If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call local Poisons Information Authority, with contact information available online.
- Don’t heat, recharge or bend the battery.
- Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.
- Dispose used button batteries immediately and safely. Empty batteries can still cause harm.
- Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.
