HID 1386LGSMN Proximity Access Card
Overview
The HID 1386LGSMN is an ISOProx II proximity card — a wallet-sized, RF-programmable credential designed for cost-effective entry control across facilities running HID proximity readers. This card solves the credential distribution problem in multi-door access environments where you need a durable, hands-free credential that survives daily handling (keys, coins, purses) without read failures. The 1386LGSMN ships pre-programmed with standard artwork and sequential ID numbering, eliminating on-site encoding delays.
Compatibility
This card is compatible with all HID proximity readers — including HID iClass, HID ProxPro, and legacy HID RP series installations. The ISOProx II format supports up to 85-bit card formats and generates over 137 billion unique codes, meaning you can deploy thousands of these cards across your facility without ID collisions. Cross-reference documentation correlating external card number to programmed ID is provided for straightforward system administration and cardholder lookups.
Key Specifications
- Read Range Consistency: Unaffected by body shielding or environmental variation — reads reliably whether the cardholder has keys, coins, or a phone on the same chain or pocket.
- Physical Form: ISO 85.6 × 54 mm standard card dimensions; fits standard wallets, purses, badge holders, or external clip attachments for photo ID use.
- Unique Code Capacity: 137+ billion possible codes eliminate collision risk in large-scale multi-facility deployments.
- Programming: RF-programmable; ships pre-programmed per order specification with no field programming required.
- Weight: 6.8 grams — negligible carry burden.
When to Use
Deploy this card for perimeter access, employee badge programs, visitor credentials, and multi-building campus environments where you need proven, cost-effective proximity technology. Skip this if your facility requires higher-security smartcard (chip-based) credentials or FIPS 201 compliance — upgrade to HID iClass or iKey-series cards instead. Minimum order quantity is 100 cards.
