Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Are the fobs or cards numbered sequentially? A: No, they are not.
Q: Can the fobs or cards be printed on? A: The fobs are too small for printing. The thick 1.8mm proximity cards have a textured finish that makes printing difficult. However, the thin 0.8mm cards are suitable for printing.
Q: What do the numbers printed on the fobs and cards mean? A: Each EM chip is pre-programmed with a unique hexadecimal number. This is represented as a 10-digit UID (Unique Identifier) number and an 8-digit Wiegand code number. Both numbers are printed on the proximity access cards, while the fobs display the 10-digit number.
Q: Are these numbers important? A: Yes, very. The functionality depends on your access control system:
- Some Wiegand readers only process the 10-digit UID, while others only read the 8-digit Wiegand number.
- Certain systems that require a remote for deleting lost fobs may only accept the manual entry of the 8-digit Wiegand number.
- Many PC-based access control systems, like our AC8001 or AC8002, will only display and accept the 8-digit Wiegand number.
Ultimately, compatibility depends on your specific system and its required format.
Q: How can I find the 8-digit Wiegand number? A: The simplest method is to use our Proximity USB Desktop Card Reader. It's a plug-and-play device that connects to your computer. Just open a text editor like Notepad, present the card or fob to the reader, and the 8-digit Wiegand number will be displayed.
Q: Do I need a USB desktop reader for your key fob readers? A: Generally, no. You would only need one if you are using key fobs with our PC-based access control systems (AC8001 or AC8002) or if you need to program hundreds of cards/fobs individually, as it significantly speeds up the process.
Q: What type of reader do they work best with? A: They are designed to work perfectly with any of our products and any other device that uses the Proximity Wiegand 125kHz 26-bit EM-RFID format. Always verify the required format with your system supplier first.
