Farpointe built its business supplying readers and credentials that other access-control manufacturers put their own names on, which is why Pyramid-family credentials appear in buildings whose panels say Keyscan, Dormakaba, or a dozen other brands. The PSC-1 clamshell, PSI-4 ISO card, and PSK-3 fob became integrator staples because they could be ordered in whatever Wiegand layout the project needed — plain 26-bit for standard panels, the 36-bit structure Keyscan systems expect, or a custom format. Replacements start with identifying which layout your batch was programmed in; your panel configuration or a working sample card tells us. We then manufacture unbranded, compatible-by-specification cards and fobs to that exact layout and your numbering, verified before shipment — no dealer channel required for what is, at heart, a programmed 125 kHz credential.

View compatible cardsFarpointe Data Pyramid Series — FAQ
What frequency and formats does the Pyramid series use?
125 kHz, programmed per order — most commonly 26-bit H10301, the 36-bit layout used by Keyscan-based systems, or a project-specific custom Wiegand structure. The physical credential is the same; the programming defines the format.
Will Pyramid-compatible cards read on standard Wiegand readers?
When programmed in a standard layout like 26-bit, yes — the reader hands ordinary Wiegand data to the panel. For the multi-technology PSM-2 variant, compatibility extends to AWID-family readers as well. Your reader models and panel format decide what to order.
Can I get a PSK-3-style key fob equivalent?
Yes — our Pyramid-compatible key ring tag is programmed identically to the cards in your fleet, so fobs and cards share one number sequence. Many sites issue cards to staff and fobs to contractors from the same batch.
Why do my readers say a different brand but my cards say Farpointe?
OEM supply. Farpointe manufactures reader and credential hardware that panel makers rebrand, so a Keyscan- or Dormakaba-labeled system frequently runs Pyramid-family credentials underneath. Compatibility follows the format programmed into the credential, not the logo on the reader.
