ASTM Mini Hardcase
Installation Instructions

TransCore’s ASTM Mini Hardcase is an ASTM radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for use on the 407 ETR in Toronto.

General Installation Information

Metalized Windshields: Some vehicle windshields contain a metallic treatment that could prevent an interior windshield-mounted tag from working correctly. If you have a vehicle with a metalized windshield, you may need to install an exterior tag on your vehicle instead of the interior windshield- mounted tag. Contact your local tag customer service center for more information.
Metal-Free Zone: Some vehicles with metalized windshields have a metal- free zone, usually located near the rearview mirror. If your windshield has this zone, center the tag in that area and follow the installation instructions listed on these pages.
Tinted Windshield: Some vehicles have a metallic tint across the top of the windshield that might interfere with reading the tag. If your windshield has this metallic tint, install the tag at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the tinted area. Nonmetallic tint does not affect tag performance.
Metal Sun Visors: Some vehicles have an exterior-mounted sun visor that might interfere with reading the tag. If your vehicle has this visor, mount the tag at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the visor.

Tag Installation and Removal Procedures

The ASTM Mini Hardcase tag is designed for mounting to a vehicle’s interior windshield surface with 3MTM Dual LockTM mounting strips.
Required Supplies

ASTM Mini Hardcase Tag
Commercial glass cleaner and paper towels

Installing the Tag
Choose the location for your tag (Figure1). The tag should be mounted approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) below the rearview mirror post.

Figure 1 Optimum Locations for Tag Performance

Clean and dry the interior windshield surface completely before mounting the tag. The windshield temperature must be at least 68ºF (20ºC) for optimum bonding.
Dual lock mounting strips

Peel the backing from the mounting strips to expose the adhesive (Figure2). Leave both sides of the strips pressed together to ensure the strips will align between the tag and the windshield. Apply the tag to the windshield using moderate pressure.
Hold the tag so that the printed text or image is right side up and facing toward you ( Figure3). Press the tag against the windshield and hold for 10 seconds.
Note: When installing the tag using the mounting strips for the first time, leave the tag in place for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure.

Removing the Tag
To remove a tag installed with mounting strips from the windshield, grip the tag at the top and bottom sides. Gently lift the tag away from the windshield on one end until the tag is free from the windshield.
