The AWID CS-UHF-0-0 clamshell badge is a hand-held UHF credential for AWID long-range and near-field UHF reader systems. It is used at gated communities, parking facilities, commercial properties, industrial entrances and controlled building access points where a single UHF credential may be used for both vehicle and pedestrian access.
A UHF clamshell badge is more rugged than a thin printable card, but it is still a programmed access credential. The reader must support AWID UHF technology, and the access-control system must recognize the credential format and number range. If the site uses 125 kHz proximity, HID prox, smart card, barcode, or another technology, this UHF credential will not be a direct substitute.
Use with select AWID UHF readers and systems when the frequency version and credential programming are confirmed.

These related UHF credential numbers are commonly searched with CS-UHF-0-0. They are related credential styles, not automatic one-for-one replacements.
For a mixed vehicle and pedestrian site, keep credential technology consistent. A clamshell UHF card may work well for gate presentation, but the pedestrian reader must also be an AWID UHF reader if the same credential is expected to work at the door.
Do not substitute CS-UHF-0-0 for AWID 125 kHz proximity cards or key tags. UHF and low-frequency proximity credentials are different technologies.
For new reader wiring, panel programming, access-control database changes, or uncertain site conditions, use a qualified access-control or gate technician. Do not bypass security controls or safety equipment to make a credential or reader appear to work.
It is used with compatible AWID UHF readers, including select AWID long-range and uAxcess reader systems when the format and frequency version match.
No. It is a clamshell-style badge. For a thinner graphics-quality printable UHF card, review the GR-UHF-0-0 credential family.
No. It is a passive credential and does not require battery replacement.
Yes, when both the gate reader and door reader are compatible AWID UHF readers and the access-control system is programmed for the credential.
Reader model, reader power/setup, mounting, credential orientation, nearby metal, vehicle glass, and site layout all affect practical read range.
