AWID CS-0-0, Clamshell Badge, AWID logo - 50 pack
The AWID CS-0-0 is a clamshell badge credential sold in a 50-pack for sites using compatible AWID proximity readers and access-control controllers. Credentials like this are commonly used in gated communities, commercial buildings, parking facilities, schools, offices, industrial yards, and multi-tenant properties where users need a durable card or badge for daily entry.
This clamshell style is a rugged proximity badge style commonly used where users carry the credential by hand, clip, chain, strap, or badge holder. It is a practical choice for high-use access-control environments where durability matters more than direct dye-sublimation photo printing on the card body. The important ordering point is format control. A card can look physically correct and still fail if the bit format, facility code, card number range, or site programming does not match the existing system. For replacement orders, match the original AWID credential family and confirm the programming details with the system administrator or access-control provider before adding new cards to the site.
Compatible With
Use these credentials only with AWID-compatible reader and controller systems programmed for the same credential format. Common compatible applications include:
- AWID proximity access-control systems using the matching card format, facility code, and numbering
- AWID Sentinel-Prox / Prox-Linc reader installations when the credential is ordered in the correct format
- AWID reader families commonly including SP switchplate readers, KP keypad readers, SR mullion readers, MM mini-mullion readers, MR medium-range readers, and other compatible AWID proximity readers
- Door access, pedestrian gate access, parking access, tenant access, employee badging, and controlled facility entry
- Access-control panels programmed for the same bit format, facility code, and card number range
- Not automatically compatible with HID Prox, iCLASS, MIFARE, UHF, Linear MegaCode, Multi-Code, or other unrelated credential technologies

Technician Note
For access-control credentials, the most common ordering problem is not the physical card style; it is the format. Confirm bit format, facility code, and card number range before ordering a batch, especially for managed communities or commercial systems with reserved numbering.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the site uses AWID proximity credentials.
- Confirm the required bit format, facility code, and starting/ending card numbers.
- Confirm whether the site needs clamshell, printable graphics-quality, magnetic-stripe, key tag, or another credential style.
- Confirm whether cards need printing, slot punching, numbering, or custom programming.
- Confirm the access-control panel has available user capacity for the new credential numbers.
Professional Advisory
Credential ordering should be handled carefully because facility code, bit format, card numbering, and site programming must match the access-control system. A qualified access-control technician or system administrator should confirm the required format before adding cards to an active system.
Important Ordering Warnings
- A matching card shape does not guarantee system compatibility.
- Credentials ordered with the wrong format or facility code may not be usable on the site.
Product Questions and Answers
Will the CS-0-0 work with my AWID reader?
It can work with compatible AWID proximity reader systems when the credential is ordered in the correct format, facility code, and card number range for the site.
What information is needed before ordering?
The access-control administrator should confirm the credential format, facility code, card numbering, and any printing or magnetic-stripe requirements.
Can these replace HID cards?
Not unless the access-control system and readers are designed to accept the AWID credential format being ordered. Similar-looking cards from different technologies are not automatically interchangeable.
Are these ready to add to the access-control system?
They still need to be enrolled or assigned in the access-control software or controller according to the site programming process.
Why are these sold as a 50 pack?
Credential batches are commonly ordered in groups for communities, offices, and managed access-control systems so card numbering and format can stay organized.
