Security Brands 40-MT Metal-Mount Tag for AWID AVI Vehicle Access
The Security Brands 40-MT is a metal-mount AWID AVI vehicle access tag used with compatible automatic vehicle identification systems. This listing is written for the 50-pack version used for gate, parking, fleet, commercial, industrial, and controlled vehicle access applications.
The 40-MT is designed for jobs where the credential needs to be mounted directly to or near a metal surface. Standard RFID and proximity credentials can lose performance when placed on metal, so metal-mount tags are used for applications such as trucks, buses, trailers, forklifts, equipment, containers, utility vehicles, golf carts, motorcycles, and other vehicles or assets where a windshield tag or standard card is not the right fit.
Security Brands lists the 40-MT as a Metal-Mount Tag - AWID AVI and describes the AWID AVI vehicle tag system as a 902-928 MHz passive automobile tag system used with a long-range reader and AVI passive tag. This is an important distinction. The 40-MT should be treated as an AWID AVI vehicle tag, not as a standard close-range 125 kHz key fob, Secura Key tag, HID fob, SecurePass fob, or short-range proximity credential.
This tag is commonly used where vehicles need controlled access without the driver stopping at a keypad or presenting a short-range card. When the reader, tag, access controller, format, and lane layout are matched correctly, the system can identify an authorized tagged vehicle as it approaches the gate or controlled entry point.
The 40-MT can be attached by self-adhesive, fasteners, or Velcro depending on the vehicle surface and whether the tag needs to be permanent or removable. For best performance, the tag should be mounted where it has a clear and consistent read path to the AWID AVI reader. The tag position, vehicle approach angle, reader aim, mounting height, nearby metal, lane width, and reader programming can all affect final read performance.
Availability note: Security Brands currently lists the 40-MT as discontinued. If this page is kept live for remaining stock, replacement lookup, or customer reference, availability should be confirmed before accepting an order. If the customer is building a new system, review current Security Brands SecurePass TR options or other available vehicle tag reader systems before promising compatibility.

Compatible With
The Security Brands 40-MT may be used with compatible AWID AVI long-range vehicle tag reader systems. Final compatibility depends on the reader model, tag format, credential programming, access-control controller, lane layout, tag placement, and whether the system was originally designed for AWID AVI vehicle tags.

- AWID AVI 902-928 MHz passive automobile tag systems where 40-MT tags are supported
- Select Security Brands / American Access Systems AWID AVI installations where the tag format matches the existing system
- Compatible access-control panels connected to an AWID AVI reader

Important: The 40-MT does not replace the long-range reader, access controller, gate operator, receiver, loop detector, vehicle presence sensor, or safety device. It is only the vehicle tag credential. The reader and access-control system must be compatible with the tag before the gate or door can respond.

Technician Note
The most important detail with this item is system matching. The 40-MT is an AWID AVI vehicle tag, not a universal proximity credential. The reader model, tag frequency, format, facility code, number range, and controller programming must match the existing system before the tag will work.
Do not treat this as a standard 125 kHz key fob or short-range card credential. Current Security Brands information describes the AWID AVI vehicle tag system as a 902-928 MHz passive automobile tag system. If the customer's current reader is HID, Secura Key, SecurePass CR, or a standard short-range proximity reader, this tag is probably not the right credential unless compatibility is specifically confirmed.
Metal-mount tags are used because metal can affect the performance of standard RFID tags. That does not mean the tag will read from every location on every vehicle. Test tag placement with the actual reader, vehicle type, mounting surface, lane approach, and gate timing before issuing a full batch.
For trucks, buses, trailers, and equipment, tag orientation matters. The tag should face the intended reader path and should not be hidden behind metal, blocked by accessories, or placed where it reads from the wrong lane. Field testing is the best way to confirm the final mounting location.
The 40-MT is discontinued by Security Brands, so stock should be confirmed before selling it as an active replacement. If the customer is starting a new vehicle tag system, review current reader and tag options before building the system around discontinued AWID AVI credentials.
Before Ordering, Confirm
- The required Security Brands model is 40-MT.
- The customer needs a 50-pack of metal-mount AWID AVI tags.
- The item is still available or physically in stock because Security Brands currently lists it as discontinued.
- The existing system uses compatible AWID AVI long-range vehicle tag readers.
- The required tag format, facility code, and number range are known.
- The tag numbers will not duplicate active credentials already used on the same site.
- The customer needs a metal-mount tag, not a windshield tag, visor tag, clamshell tag, short-range fob, or SecurePass TR tag.
- The tag mounting surface and orientation have been checked for the vehicle type.
- The reader location and lane layout can read the intended vehicle without reading the wrong lane.
- The customer understands this is a credential pack, not a reader, controller, loop detector, or gate opener.
Professional Advisory
AWID AVI tag setup should be handled by a qualified access-control or gate technician when the reader model, credential format, facility code, tag numbering, mounting position, or access-control programming is not known.
Do not use this tag to bypass gate safety devices, monitored photo eyes, safety edges, loop detectors, stop circuits, emergency access devices, or required entrapment protection. A vehicle tag identifies an authorized credential only. It does not confirm that the gate path is clear.
After enrollment, test sample tags on the actual vehicles before issuing the full pack. Confirm read distance, tag position, lane coverage, controller response, gate response, event logging where applicable, emergency access, and all gate safety-device operation before turning the system over to the customer.
Product Q&A
What is the Security Brands 40-MT?
The Security Brands 40-MT is a metal-mount AWID AVI passive vehicle tag credential used with compatible long-range automatic vehicle identification systems.
Is the 40-MT still available?
Security Brands currently lists the 40-MT as discontinued. Before ordering, confirm remaining stock, replacement availability, or whether a current vehicle tag system is the better choice.
Does this 40-MT listing include 50 tags?
Yes, this product page is written for the 50-pack version. Confirm pack quantity with the supplier record before ordering replacement stock.
Is the 40-MT a reader or a tag?
The 40-MT is a vehicle tag credential. It is not a reader, keypad, controller, gate opener, loop detector, or complete access-control system.
What type of reader does the 40-MT work with?
The 40-MT is intended for compatible AWID AVI long-range reader systems. The reader model, tag format, and controller programming must be verified before ordering.
Can the 40-MT be mounted on metal?
Yes. The 40-MT is a metal-mount tag designed for applications where the credential needs to be attached to or near a metal surface, such as trucks, buses, trailers, equipment, or containers.
Can the 40-MT replace a windshield tag or visor tag?
Only if the existing AWID AVI reader and controller support the 40-MT tag format and the mounting location provides reliable read performance. Windshield, visor, clamshell, and metal-mount tags should not be assumed interchangeable without checking the system.
Can the 40-MT be used as a loop detector?
No. The 40-MT is a vehicle credential tag, not a vehicle presence detector or gate safety device. Loop detectors, photo eyes, safety edges, and required entrapment protection must be handled separately.
What should be checked before ordering this 50-pack?
Check reader compatibility, AWID AVI system type, tag format, facility code, number range, mounting surface, vehicle orientation, lane layout, and whether discontinued stock is still available.
