What is the installation method for ETC?
1 Answers
ETC installation process: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time by eliminating the hassle of waiting in queues. Environmentally friendly—vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution. Reduces wear and saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improves efficiency—ETC lanes theoretically increase traffic flow efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. How ETC works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology to process transactions with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.
