Honeywell PVC-H-4-SPEC Wired HID Proximity Card

Overview

The PVC-H-4-SPEC is a PVC-format proximity credential built for access control deployments running wired HID proximity readers. It solves the recurring need on any commercial door schedule: standardized, durable ID-badge-format credentials that a wired reader can present to a controller for authentication. Use it when provisioning or expanding a badge population on an existing wired proximity system — front desk issuance, contractor badges, or bulk credential refreshes.

Compatibility

This card is built for wired HID proximity reader interfaces. Confirm your reader and access control panel are configured for the same card format and facility code range before bulk-ordering, since proximity credentials are not universally cross-compatible across reader manufacturers. If you're speccing a new install rather than adding to an existing badge population, pair credential selection with your access control hardware choice up front rather than after readers are already mounted.

Installation Notes

No card presents a wiring requirement of its own — it is a passive credential read by the reader, not a wired device. Standard handling applies: avoid punching mounting holes through the antenna coil, and keep cards away from strong magnetic fields and physical flexing that can crack the embedded PVC substrate.

For system planning beyond the card itself, a access control planning guide covers reader-to-panel wiring and credential provisioning at scale. If you're standardizing hardware across multiple doors, review the broader Honeywell security catalog for matched readers and panels, and check proximity readers to confirm format alignment before ordering cards in volume. Complementary access control accessories such as badge holders and printer ribbons are worth sourcing in the same order to avoid a second shipping cycle.
