Hi all,

 

We’ve an eaton G2SM alarm panel and want to setup prox tags. Looking around I see the official Eaton Prox Tags but noticed a lot of generic rfid tags. Considering some of these generic rfid tags but wondering if they’re worth looking at? If so, what should I be looking for. I understand the prox tags are low frequency 125hz tags, but any suggestions on what other specific requirements i should look for? I see a lot of these are 4100 chip types. Are these compatible?

 

thanks for the advise

nate

maybe, 

 

anything listed as galaxy, gardtec ect... will probally work, unless your buying 100's it a bit pointless

Thanks, seen a fair few listed as such, will check them out. One question, is there anything specific or extra secure with the original Eaton tags that would mean i should just get those? 

Thanks!

I'd assume the Eaton tags to be more robust case wise than random ebay ones...

trade member is ok for links

I can sell them as trade depending on quantities cheapest would be £1.00 ea

I'd be interested, pm you?

Just following on from the above. Purchased some generic prox tags from the ebay, and registered the first prox tag on the alarm fine. Unfortunately, the second prox tag throws an error that the tag is already registered. I guess thats what going generic gets me.  

 

All the six tags do the same. I'm assuming that these are all programmed with the same rfid code. Is there a quick and easy solution to this, or shall I just go an buy the Eaton originals?

 

edit - just noticed Barsnakes's link above. Must have missed that originally. Will these have the same issue as the ebay ones I picked up?

Thanks all

This is normal for some selling and installing them on eaton, if you want individual serial numbers you need to tell them or pay someone or supplier more perhaps to have this , as in either bulk purchase or individual originals which cost more
