How the compatible Indala/Kantech KFS 32-bit (Kantech Secure Format) works
The Indala/Kantech KFS 32-bit (Kantech Secure Format) is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is 32-bit Kantech Secure Format (KSF): 8-bit site + 16-bit card on Indala PSK carrier (distinct from ioProx XSF FSK protocol). When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.
We build the compatible Indala/Kantech KFS 32-bit (Kantech Secure Format) by encoding the matching data structure onto a programmable T5577 chip. Once written, the credential presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number your reader already accepts. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered for the exact format your system expects, matched to your facility code and card-number range.
To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Kantech card, along with your facility code and card-number range, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.
