AWID SV-UHF-0-0, Side View mirror Tag - 50 pack
The AWID SV-UHF-0-0 is a side-view-mirror style UHF tag for AWID long-range reader installations. It is used when the reader is positioned so that an exterior side tag gives a better read path than a windshield, visor, or rear-view mirror credential. Typical uses include gated communities, commercial parking, fleet lanes, and properties with side-mounted readers where the vehicle passes close to the reader. The tag is commonly adhered to the side mirror shell or another approved non-metallic exterior surface. Because side mirrors vary widely in shape and material, placement should be tested before applying tags across a full vehicle population. The credential must also be programmed with the proper facility code, format, and number range. Do not assume that a side-view tag, rear-view tag, windshield tag, and metal-mount tag will all perform the same in the same lane; each one is intended for a different physical mounting condition.

Technician Note
Side-view mirror tags can work very well in side-reader lanes, but mirror housing material and vehicle approach angle matter. Test the actual vehicle path before issuing a full batch.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the site uses AWID UHF long-range readers, not standard prox readers.
- Confirm facility code, bit format, and starting number before programming or ordering a pack.
- Choose the tag style based on vehicle surface, reader location, and whether the credential must be permanent or removable.
- Check for metallic windshield coatings, mirror housings, or vehicle surfaces that can reduce read range.
- Do not punch, drill, trim, or modify the credential unless AWID instructions specifically allow that exact tag style.
Professional Advisory
Credential selection should be handled as part of the access control system. Poor tag placement or the wrong credential style can look like a bad reader even when the reader is operating correctly.
Product Questions and Answers
Where is the SV-UHF tag mounted?
It is commonly mounted on the side view mirror shell or another suitable exterior non-metallic surface facing the reader.
Which readers commonly use SV-UHF?
It is commonly used with AWID LR-2000, LR-2200, LR-3000, and related UHF readers.
Is this better than a windshield tag?
It depends on the lane. A side-view tag may be better for side-mounted readers, while windshield tags may be better for overhead or front-facing reads.
Can the tag be installed on metal?
Use a metal-mount tag for metal surfaces. SV-UHF is normally selected for mirror or non-metallic exterior mounting.
What should be checked before applying the tag?
Check reader side, vehicle approach, mirror material, tag orientation, and access control programming.
