This document describes the procedures to install the Exterior On-Board Unit (OBU) on the outside of a commercial or passenger vehicle.The typical mounting location for an Exterior OBU is over the license plate at the upper part of a vehicle’s front license plate area (Figure 1).Note: If your state does not require a front license plate, install the Exterior OBU in the area where the license plate would normally be mounted. If your vehicle does not have a designated front license plate mounting area, contact your tag agency for other options.Supplies•Exterior OBU (may have double-sided tape for secure mount)•Screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips depending on your vehicle’s license plate mounting screws)•Optional two self-tapping threaded screws (customer supplied)•Optional TransCore Exterior Tag Accessory Kit (19077-01). This kit contains tamper-resistant mounting screws and wrench.Exterior OBU Installation ProceduresTo mount the Exterior OBU in the license plate area1. Remove the screws from the license plate area of your front bumper (Figure 1). If your vehicle does not have mounting screws you will need two self-tapping threaded screws.

Position the OBU so that it is within 18 inches (46 cm) of the center of the front bumper as shown by the shaded area in Figure 1. If your vehicle’s license plate mounting area is more than 18 inches (46 cm) from the center, you may need to select an alternate location on the bumper to mount the OBU. Contact your tag agency if your vehicle requires an alternate mounting location for the OBU.3. Hold the OBU so that the mounting holes are to the top and fasten the OBU to the bumper using the license plate mounting screws (Figure 2). Install the OBU over the top area of the vehicle’s license plate if your vehicle has a front license plate. If your state does not require a front license plate, install the OBU in the area where a license plate would normally be mounted.Figure 2 Placement Over the Upper Area of the License PlateThe license plate should have a 90-degree field-of-view to the overhead antenna as the vehicle approaches the toll plaza/gantry. If the vehicle bumper limits the field-of-view or if the license plate area is angled downward toward the pavement, you can use an angled mounting bracket to point the OBU upward to increase the field of view and improve performance (Figure 3).Figure 3 Examples of OBU InstallationsNO UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS STATEMENTCaution: This equipment may not be modified, altered, or changed in any way without permission from TransCore, LP.
