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.
Use these credentials only with AWID-compatible reader and controller systems programmed for the same credential format. Common compatible applications include:
| Manufacturer | AWID |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Clamshell Badge |
| Part Number | CS-0-0 |
| Credential Technology | AWID proximity credential, format dependent |
| Pack Quantity | 50 pack |
| Application | Access-control credential for compatible AWID reader systems |
| Programming | Facility code, bit format, and card numbering must match site requirements |
| Notes | Cards are typically ordered/programmed to the required access-control format |
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.
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.
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.
The access-control administrator should confirm the credential format, facility code, card numbering, and any printing or magnetic-stripe requirements.
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.
They still need to be enrolled or assigned in the access-control software or controller according to the site programming process.
Credential batches are commonly ordered in groups for communities, offices, and managed access-control systems so card numbering and format can stay organized.
