Introduction
The KeyTag
The KeyAdvantage KeyTag is used to attach vehicles keys to KeyBoxes and to track the activity of the vehicle
keys.
• Vehicle keys are securely attached to the KeyTag with a tamper-evident KeyTag attachment.
• Because the KeyBox recognizes when a KeyTag is present, the KeyTag is used to track accesses to a
particular vehicle’s keys.
Physical Characteristics
• The KeyTag has metal contacts that connect to the KeyAdvantage KeyBox. The contacts in the key
container recognize when the contacts of a KeyTag are present and therefore that the vehicle keys are
present.
• When the KeyTag makes contact with the KeyBox, the KeyBox reads the serial number and the vehicle ID
information programmed into the KeyTag.
• If the metal contacts of the KeyTag do not connect with the KeyBox, the key container will not completely
close, providing visible evidence that the vehicle keys are not present.
• The KeyTag attachment is secured to the vehicle keys using a crimp tool. Do not use vehicle key rings on
the KeyTag.
KeyTag Programming
• KeyTags are assigned to and unassigned from specic vehicles using the KeyAdvantage software and
programming base.
See “Assigning KeyTags” to Vehicles on page 44 for details on assigning KeyTags.
