Installing the RFID Antenna Kit on M & MX Safes Overview
This video provides step-by-step instructions for installing the MedixSafe RFID Antenna Kit on M and MX Series safes.
The RFID antenna kit enables compatible MedixSafe safes to support RFID-based narcotics tracking, helping improve inventory visibility, accountability, and controlled-substance management.
The video covers the complete installation process—from preparing the safe and removing the existing components to installing the RFID cover, connecting the required cables, and verifying proper operation.
What You'll Learn
After completing this installation, you will know how to:
- Identify the components included with the RFID Antenna Kit
- Safely prepare the M or MX Safe for installation
- Remove the existing safe cover and required components
- Install the supplied RF mesh tape
- Attach the required RF filters and chokes
- Properly route and connect the RFID cables
- Install and secure the new RFID cover
- Verify the safe's firmware and confirm proper operation
- Confirm the safe is ready for RFID narcotics tracking
Before You Begin
Before starting the installation, confirm that you have the complete RFID Antenna Kit and the necessary tools shown in the video.
Follow the installation sequence carefully, particularly when disconnecting, routing, and reconnecting cables. Cables should be securely connected and positioned so they are not pinched or damaged when the RFID cover is installed.

Verify the Installation
Once installation is complete, follow the verification steps demonstrated in the video. Confirm that the safe powers on normally, the required firmware is installed, and the system is operating correctly.
Successful verification ensures that the RFID hardware has been properly installed and the safe is ready to support MedixSafe RFID narcotics tracking.
Important Note – MS Vehicle Compact Safe
For the MS safe model, the installation differs slightly from what is shown in the video. The backplate is a different size, and the circlip must be removed to allow the flex hose to be inserted through the designated hole rather than through a slot.
Once the flex hose is in position and the circlip is reinstalled, continue with the remaining installation steps shown in the video.
Need Help?
If you experience an issue during installation or the safe does not operate as expected after completing the procedure, refer to the applicable MedixSafe product documentation or contact MedixSafe Technical Support for assistance.
