Keri’s PSM-2 Multi Technology Card allows the user to combine several identification
technologies in a single, credit card thin credential. The cards can be ordered with or
without a high coercivity magnetic stripe, which is useful if there are other types of
systems in use that are mag stripe-based, such as cafeteria vending. They are also
useful for customers who may have a proximity-based access control system at one site
and a mag stripe-based system at other locations, allowing the user to carry a single
card. They are for use with Keri’s new Pyramid Series Proximity Readers which
can be connected to virtually any manufacturer’s access control system.

One of the most popular features of the Multi Technology Cards is that they can accept
a direct print video image, typically a photograph, bar code, and other user graphics,
from most industry standard dye sublimation printers, to create a custom access
credential. Unless the customer requires the use of the mag stripe or printed bar code,
Keri recommends the PSC-1 Standard Light Proximity Card for most applications
because of its lower cost and lifetime warranty. The Standard Light Cards can be fitted
with a PVC label or “skin” which can also accept a direct print image to provide photo ID
at a much lower cost and greater durability.

The Multi Technology Cards are sequentially encoded, and can be programmed in any
custom Wiegand format as well as standard 26 bit. Each card is marked with the ID
number and a date code. They can be used interchangeably with Keri’s Light Proximity
Cards and Proximity Key Ring Tags on the same system without worry about ID code duplication
or format matching. Read range is typically 80% of a Standard Light Proximity Card.
