3-19
Required Materials
You will need the following materials to install interior tags:
• Rubbing alcohol or 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water
• Sponge and dry cloth
• Interior tags with two strips of factory-installed hook-and-loop material or fac-
tory-installed double-sided tape attached
Positioning ATA Tags
Interior ATA-protocol tags can be installed on the driver’s side, passenger’s side, or
upper center of the vehicle’s windshield, depending on the Encompass 4 Reader’s
position. See “Reader and Tag Alignment” on page 2-4.
Tags should be mounted consistently in all vehic
les using a particular Encompass 4
Reader facility.
Interior Driver’s or Passenger’s Side
TransCore designed interior ATA-protocol tags for installation inside the vehicle, typ-
ically on the driver’s side of the windshield.
Install the tag in the upper corner, at least
two inches (5 cm) from the metal window post, as shown in Figure 3-19.

Interior Center Windshield
You may also install ATA tags on the upper center portion of the windshield. Position
the tag as closely as possible to the windshield’s upper center, behind the rearview
mirror. The top edge of the tag should be approximately one inch (2.5 cm) below the
base of the mirror, or above the base if enough room is available for the tag to be two
inches (five cm) from metal around the windshield, as shown in Figure 3-20.
