The 12690-DS4-BK is part of dormakaba's metal-framed RFID fob family and uses MIFARE DESFire EV3 4K contactless smart credential technology. Its compact form factor allows users to carry an access credential on a key ring rather than a full-size access card.
DESFire EV3 is a high-frequency smart credential technology used in access control applications requiring more advanced credential capabilities than traditional low-frequency proximity technologies. The reader and access control environment must be configured to support the applicable dormakaba DESFire credential technology and programming.

Compatibility Notes
Reader compatibility matters: The 12690-DS4-BK is intended for compatible access control environments configured to support the applicable MIFARE DESFire EV3 credential technology.
DESFire EV3 and MIFARE Plus are different technologies: The 12690-DS4 family should not be assumed interchangeable with dormakaba 12640 or 12670 MIFARE Plus EV2 credentials.
Confirm before ordering: Verify the installed reader technology, access control platform, credential configuration, and programming requirements for your system.
