1 INTRODUCTION
The advanced tag authentication of the WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE is only functional
when the Security Key Pack has been installed in the TRANSIT ULTIMATE.
The WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE is a long-range identification tag used in applications where
vehicles need to be identified secure, fast and convenient. The WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE will
be identified up to 10 meters [33 feet] by the TRANSIT Ultimate reader as soon as it enters the
reading zone. The WINDOW TAG ULTIMAT is designed to complement the interior of a
passenger vehicle. Integrated suction pads with industrial strength install the tag in seconds
to the inside of a windscreen.
Read-only
The WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE is read-only factory programmed with a unique customer specific
security code, a customer defined tag ID number and unique AES128 authentication encryption
keys. The part number, tag ID number and date of manufacture are laser etched into the back
case of the tag.
Manual user activation
The WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE has a switch for user activation, designed for applications where
the driver determines the time and distance of reading and driver authorization is important.
The WINDOW TAG ULTIMATE will only transmit the tag ID to the TRANSIT Ultimate reader for
5 seconds when the switch is activated.

The Tags are easily mounted to the inside of the car’s windshield by means
of suction cups. Users should ensure the visual contact between the Tags and any
TRANSIT reader is unobstructed with items such as stickers or metallized windshields
(see also chapter 2.3 about solar control windshields).
Note that the Booster's suction cups must be faced toward the reader to achieve
maximum reading distance.
The Tag is designed to operate within the extreme temperature ranges, which
often occur behind a vehicle’s windshield during the winter or summer seasons
(-20°C to 85°C / -4°F to +185°F). However the personal identification card inserted in
the Tag may not be designed to withstand such temperatures and could suffer
damage as a result.
Nedap recommends to remove the personal identification card when not in use.

2.3 SOLAR CONTROL WINDSHIELDS
.
From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar
control windshields. The solar control windshields are equipped with a metalized
coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal from the Booster mounted on the inside
of the windshield of the vehicle.
Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be
mounted. The metal free zone of metalized windshields is most often found in the
middle of the windshield behind and slightly below the rear view mirror. In vehicles
manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated on the window.
We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the aperture is exactly positioned in a certain
vehicle and where the transponder should be mounted.
Place the Tag on the inside of the windscreen of your vehicle as described in
chapter 2. The driver inserts his personal identification card and activates
the Booster’s button.
A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. A low beep indicates
that card reading failed. The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance
of 10 meters (=33 ft).
After 5 seconds the Tag returns into sleep mode. The Tag will remain active
when in 'always-on'-mode.
2.4 HOW TO USE THE TAG
2. 5 Theory
The Tag is a battery operated passive tag. The information from the tag is sent to
the reader by a method called modulated backscatter. This means that the 2.45 GHz
signal coming from the reader's antenna is modified in such way that it can be
recognized by the reader

3 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Tag contains two replaceable non-rechargeable AAA batteries.
The average lifetime of these batteries is approximately 5 years. When replacement
becomes necessary follow the procedure below.
• 1 Open the battery compartment.
• Remove both batteries. Follow local environment protection laws /
regulations for disposal of used batteries.
• Replace with two new batteries. Make sure that the polarity matches the
indicated polarity. Refer to appendix A for battery requirements.
• Close the battery compartment and verify if the Tag is working properly.
