AWID PT-UHF-0-0, Portable Tag - 50 pack
The AWID PT-UHF-0-0 is a portable tag option for AWID UHF long-range reader systems. Unlike a permanent windshield tag or metal-mount tag, this credential is selected when the site wants a tag that can be assigned, removed, or handled with more flexibility. That can be useful for visitor management, temporary parking access, company vehicles that rotate, vendor entry, or situations where a permanent adhesive credential is not acceptable. The tradeoff is that portable credentials rely more heavily on user placement. If the tag is set in the wrong location, blocked by the vehicle body, held at the wrong angle, or moved out of the reader path, read range can change. For that reason, sites using PT-UHF should provide clear placement instructions and confirm that the reader is aimed for the expected tag location. Format, facility code, and number range still need to match the access control system.

Technician Note
Portable tags are convenient, but they introduce user-placement variables. For resident or employee programs that require tighter control, an adhesive windshield or mirror tag may be better.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the site uses AWID UHF long-range readers, not standard prox readers.
- Confirm facility code, bit format, and starting number before programming or ordering a pack.
- Choose the tag style based on vehicle surface, reader location, and whether the credential must be permanent or removable.
- Check for metallic windshield coatings, mirror housings, or vehicle surfaces that can reduce read range.
- Do not punch, drill, trim, or modify the credential unless AWID instructions specifically allow that exact tag style.
Professional Advisory
Credential selection should be handled as part of the access control system. Poor tag placement or the wrong credential style can look like a bad reader even when the reader is operating correctly.

No. It is a portable UHF credential style for flexible or temporary vehicle access applications.
What reader systems commonly use PT-UHF?
It is commonly associated with AWID LR-2000, LR-2200, LR-3000, UA-612, and related UHF reader systems.
Will read range be the same in every vehicle?
No. Placement, windshield material, vehicle body structure, and reader angle can change read performance.
Can this be used for visitors?
Yes, when the access control policy allows portable credentials and the tag is programmed for the site.
Is it interchangeable with a windshield tag?
No. It uses the same AWID UHF system family, but the mounting and use case are different.
