Mounting Instructions for trucks and buses
The FME transponder is recommended for trucks, buses, coaches, RVs, and other classes of large
commercial vehicles. The preferred mounting location is on the roof while the alternate mounting
location is on the front of the vehicle.
Preferred FME location: roof of vehicle
Select a mounting location within 4 in. of the centerline (as measured from
the right and left sides of the vehicle). Consider the following criteria:
Requirements
For reliable operation of the transponder, the vehicle must be equipped
with only one correctly mounted transponder while passing through a
toll facility. Other transponders present in or on the vehicle must be
switched off or enclosed in an RF shield.
FME transponders must be mounted in the location for which they were
programmed. FME transponders programmed for License Plate must
be mounted on the front of the vehicle. FME transponders programmed
for Rooftop must be mounted on the roof of the vehicle.
The mounting location must provide direct line-of-sight communication
between the transponder and the toll facility’s overhead antenna.
FME transponders cannot be used where local regulations prohibit
externally mounting transponders on the roof of the vehicle, the front
license plate, front bumper, or other external surfaces.
The presence of certain classes of front impact-absorbing materials
used in the construction of the vehicle may affect the operation of the
FME transponder. The mounting location must be free of such
materials.
Apply the 3M™ VHB™ acrylic foam tape that is on the back of the
mounting plate in accordance with 3M™ document 70-0704-8701-5.
