Installers should verify that the card reader supports 26-bit Wiegand communication and proximity credentials at 125 kHz. They should also confirm compatibility with HID-compatible, non-proprietary readers before selecting a credential wristband.

Measure the user’s wrist circumference and choose the credential wristband size that provides a comfortable fit without feeling too tight or loose. The available six-and-a-half-inch and seven-and-a-half-inch sizes support different wrist sizes, while a rubber bracelet credential offers another wearable option for active users.

For active users, choose a wristband size that fits comfortably, with available options for different wrist sizes and a wearable design that supports convenient access requests. In moisture-prone settings, select a credential described as waterproof, and confirm that the card reader supports its 26-bit Wiegand and proximity technology.

Credential wristbands provide a wearable option for users who may find carrying a traditional access card less convenient, particularly during active work or daily activities. Depending on the style, they can offer proximity access, waterproof construction, and 26-bit Wiegand communication for use with compatible nonproprietary card readers.
