Installation Overview
Thank you for purchasing your Auto Passport, the ICS® radio frequency identification system. This document was written for technicians
and electricans installing the Auto Passport. A thorough understanding of electrical wiring, installation, codes, and safety protocols is
required. No prior experience with the Auto Passport is necessary. By reading the information and performing the procedures in this
installation guide, you should be able to install the Auto Passport system-level and communications wiring.
NOTE:
The Auto Passport is not a stand-alone system. WashConnect and a connection to an Auto Sentry is required.
System Components
The protective enclosure houses the RFID reader and antenna.
One
All-In-One RFID Reader / Antenna Enclosure

to be installed on an overhead truss or canopy above the lane
near the Auto Sentry flex so vehicles can drive underneath it.
The RFID All-In-One Reader/Antenna power and data cable
terminates at the terminal blocks located in the base of Auto
Sentry flex.
The RFID All-in-One Cable is 35’ in length.
