FAQs for Vanderbilt / Bewator IB928 Active Encoded Clamshell Cards
What systems are Bewator IB928 active clamshell cards compatible with?
Bewator IB928 active encoded clamshell cards are designed for use with compatible Vanderbilt Bewator, Cotag and Granta access control systems. They are normally purchased as replacement access cards for existing systems using the same card technology.
What does “active encoded” mean?
“Active” means the card contains a lithium battery, allowing it to transmit a stronger signal than a passive card when used with compatible readers. “Encoded” means the card is supplied with a programmed card number for use with compatible access control systems.
Do these cards include a battery?
Yes. IB928 active clamshell cards include a lithium battery, which helps support hands-free functionality and longer read distances when used with suitable Cotag hands-free readers.
What read range do IB928 clamshell cards have?
The read range depends on the reader and system setup. With standard compatible proximity readers, the range is typically around 12–32cm. With compatible Cotag hands-free readers, the read range can be longer.
Can these clamshell cards be printed on?
No. These are clamshell-style access cards and are not suitable for direct card printing. If you need photo ID or printed staff passes, you may need a printable ISO-style access card instead, depending on your system compatibility.
Do these cards come with a slot for a lanyard or card holder?
Yes, clamshell cards are typically supplied with a slot so they can be attached to a lanyard, strap clip or badge reel.
Are Bewator, Siemens, Vanderbilt and Acre the same for this product?
These names are often seen together because the product range has changed ownership/branding over time. When replacing cards, the most important thing is matching the card model and system compatibility, rather than relying on the brand name alone.
How do I know if IB928 is the right replacement card?
Check the model number on your existing card, your access control system type, or any previous order details. If you are unsure, it is best to contact us before ordering so we can help check compatibility.
