Document Name: Unitec RFID Field Retrofit Installation Guide
Introduction
The ReachFree ID product is a house account application designed to build car wash volume and
increase throughput with secure, subscription-based wash accounts. The RFID reader reads the
RFID tag that is adhered
to the account holder’s windshield.
If the account is valid, the Unitec entry unit will approve the transaction without any interaction from
the account holder and will allow the vehicle to proceed past the entry system and into the tunnel or
in-bay automatic.
Software Requirements
In order for the ReachFree ID system to function properly, the Unitec entry unit must be updated to
the most recent version of software.
Site Planning
If this is a new installation, a conduit will need to be run from the Unitec entry unit to the mounting
surface for the reader.
The reader may be mounted on any material including metal, but there must be open space in front
of the reader and to its sides. There must be no material interfering with the reader’s surveillance
zone
between the reader and the tags’ location.
If using the optional mounting pole, the reader should be mounted beside the far side of the Unitec
entry unit (with the flange flush against the base, as shown in Figure 5) because the proximity
sensor on the unit door can be setup to activate the reader. The reader should be mounted on a
pole 7 feet above the vehicle lane.
