The MASTER Scheme systems include the following Datatag state of the art technology:
Glass Tag
This transponder is roughly the size of a grain of rice and can be easily installed. It contains a unique code number which is permanently programmed into it's integrated circuit. The number cannot be altered or deleted.
Primary Visible Tamper Evident Warning Labels
These tamper-proof plates carry a unique motorcycle/scooter identifi cation number ensuring that your property can be tracked and returned in the event of theft. Datatag will take legal action against any copying or unauthorised production of these unique ID plates that contain Datatag's world wide registered trademark.
Tamper Evident Warning and Re-Registration Label
Specially designed decals warn off any potential thieves and are both attractive and impossible to remove without damage to the label.
Domed Resin Colour Warning Label
The decal forms a major part of the visible deterrent. It indicates to potential criminals that Datatag genuinely protects your machine and there is a too high a risk of it being traced if they were to steal it.
New UV Stealth Etching
New and improved system comprises a unique alpha numeric code and Datatag's 24/7 contact details are permanently etched into the panels and fairings. They do not deface or interfere with the appearance or aesthetics of the Motorcycle. Datatag etchings are visible under ultra violet or UV lighting and in most cases, cannot be seen in daylight conditions.
Datadots®
A superior microdot identifi cation system developed for ease of use. The Datadots can be applied to any surface, thus making it virtually impossible for the criminals to locate and remove them all. Not to be used for external cosmetic panels e.g. fairings and body work.
