IDentity Flex transponders mounted in vehicles are placed at the top of the front
windshield, behind the rear view mirror. The external mount transponder is
attached to the front license plate of the vehicle. See the section starting on
page 52 for mounting instructions.
IDentity Flex Transponder
The IDentity Flex transponder is equipped with a replaceable 4-year coin cell
battery and a second battery can be added for longer life. The transponder is
attached to the windshield by Velcro™ strips. This allows it to be removed from
the vehicle or locked in a glove box while not in use. The IDentity Flex
transponder is pre-programmed at the factory with a dealer code, facility code, ID
number and manufactured serial number.
Security-Flex (S-Flex) Transponder
The S-Flex transponder is equipped with a 4-year non-replaceable battery and is
attached to the windshield with adhesive strips. The transponder will be
deactivated if it is removed after installation, preventing use in unauthorized
vehicles. Deactivated transponders must be returned to SIRIT for reactivation.
Like the IDentity Flex transponder, the S-Flex is pre-programmed at the factory.
External Mount Transponder
An external mount transponder is preferred in truck fleet monitoring applications
and on certain vehicles that have high metal-oxide content in their windshields.
This transponder is mounted on the front license plate holder. More information
on metal-oxide’s effect on Radio-Frequency devices such as the IDentity Flex
transponders can be found on page 51.
External mount transponders can be read by Title 21 systems and, as such, are
programmed for use with the IDentity Flex system on-site by the dealer.
Mounting instructions can be found on page 53.
IDentity Title 21 (Tolling Application) Transponder
The IDentity Title 21 (T21) transponder can be read by highway toll collection
systems that are compliant with the California Department of Transportation’s
Title 21 open standard. It therefore serves a dual-purpose role in also allowing
access to IDentity Flex system controlled areas. It is mounted inside the
windshield with Velcro™ strips. The Title 21 identification number can be loaded
