Schlage 8980 Proximity Smart Card

Product Description

The SCHLAGE 8980 is a proximity smart card designed for use in electronic access control systems. It communicates with compatible proximity readers to grant or restrict entry without physical key contact. The card is sold as a single unit and is a standard credential component in commercial and residential access control installations. Security integrators and access control technicians are the primary installers, programming and enrolling the card within a compatible access control platform to assign user credentials.

The SCHLAGE 8980 proximity smart card is used in access control deployments where contactless credential reading is required. Typical applications include commercial office buildings, multi-tenant residential properties, industrial facilities, and institutional environments.

Installation Notes

Proximity smart cards are enrolled and programmed by a licensed security integrator or access control technician using the access control system software. No tools are required to issue the card itself, but the host access control panel and reader must be powered and configured before credential enrollment. Always follow the access control system manufacturer guidelines and applicable local security codes when adding or removing credentials from the system.
