ProxPass

Vehicle Identification Tag

The ProxPass

II mounts to the inside of a vehicle’s windshield. Use the ProxPass II with the HID

MaxiProx

Reader

for vehicle access control. Velcro strips with an adhesive backing are provided for installation. For best results, mount

the tag to the upper corner of the driver’s side of windshield.

The tag has an operating frequency of 125 KHz, and a read range of 6-8 feet from the reader, depending on mounting

location, mounting angle and environmental conditions. The vehicle must be stopped or moving slowly in front of the

reader for the tag ID to be read. The tag is powered by two lithium batteries. Battery life may range from two to five

years, depending on frequency of use and length of exposure to extreme heat or cold. The tag unit is not sealed, and

should not be directly sprayed or submerged in water.

WARNING: THE BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF MISTREATED. DO NOT RECHARGE,

DISASSEMBLE, OR DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY IN A FIRE!

Installation

1. Each tag is shipped individually and is switched off to prevent accidental activation during

transportation or storage. Leave the tag off until installed in the vehicle.

2. Determine the appropriate mounting location of the tag. Completely clean the mounting location using

rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner.

3. Cut two strips of Velcro

(keeping the two pieces, hook and loop, adhered together). Position and

place the strips firmly against the back of the tag, see Figure 1 ProxPass II Positioning.

4. Just prior to mounting the tag, remove the Velcro’s adhesive liner. Mount the tag unit to the

windshield, and apply even pressure on the entire surface to ensure adhesion.

5. Using a paper clip or the tip of a ballpoint pen, move the switch to the ON (I) position, Figure 2 Power

Switch. The tag is ready to use.

Switch and Battery Replacement Figure 2 Power Switch Figure 3 Replacing Batteries 1. When replacing the batteries use only Panasonic BR2330 batteries (two required). These are available from Panasonic or a battery distributor and are not available retail. Note: Although CR-type batteries (CR2330) are available in the same size and voltage, they are not compatible with the ProxPass II. CR2330 batteries are not rated for the extreme temperatures which are typical inside vehicle windshields. 2.
