FAQ
TL;DR: Many intercoms let residents add RFID tags; this model allows up to 15 fobs per flat, and "You can program the key fob yourself." Buy a UNIQUE 125 kHz tag and enroll it with your apartment PIN. [Elektroda, WojtekRav, post #20109298]
Why it matters: This helps apartment residents figure out how to add a proximity tag without the original fob or a service visit.

How do I add a proximity key fob without the original?
You can self-enroll a new tag on panels that allow tenant programming. “You can program the key fob yourself.” Use a UNIQUE 125 kHz fob, then follow these steps:
- Enter your apartment number and press an arrow on the panel.
- Enter the facility PIN for your apartment.
- Present the new tag within four seconds to save, then test it.
The system rejects duplicates and stores up to 15 tags per flat. [Elektroda, WojtekRav, post #20109298]
Do I need my intercom to support RFID, and how can I tell?
Yes. The intercom must have RFID support, otherwise tags will not work. If it supports RFID, someone must program the tag for you or enable tenant enrollment. Confirm RFID support and who can program tags with your building service or administrator. [Elektroda, kkknc, post #20108150]
What tag type should I buy for this intercom?
Buy a UNIQUE 125 kHz RFID tag, either a card or a key fob. That standard enrolls via the external panel using your apartment number and PIN. Present the new tag when prompted to save it, then test access after the panel returns to idle. [Elektroda, WojtekRav, post #20109298]
Do I need a service or user code to add a key fob?
A code is required. Installers often hold a service code, and sometimes a user code is left for residents. Ask the administrator or installer which code is active for your building and whether tenant enrollment is enabled. [Elektroda, kkknc, post #20108419]
Is there a universal programming code or standard across intercoms?
No. Programming access depends on the specific system and code level. Some use a user code, others require a higher service code. There is no universal code you can rely on across brands or installations. [Elektroda, kkknc, post #20108469]
How many key fobs can I register to my apartment?
Up to 15 tags can be registered per apartment address on this system. If you try to enroll more, the panel will not accept them. Track your issued tags so you stay within the limit. [Elektroda, WojtekRav, post #20109298]
What if the installer or administrator refuses to add my fob?
Ask the administrator directly for the policy and rationale. Provide a clear photo of the entrance panel and its reader to support your request. This helps confirm the model and whether tenant enrollment is available. [Elektroda, Ircys, post #20108994]
Why might an installer say they can’t program my fob?
They may not have the necessary service codes to access programming mode. Without those codes, they cannot upload new key fobs. Request that the responsible service obtains or resets the correct access credentials. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #20108287]
How much does it cost if an installer handles the enrollment?
Residents report installers charging PLN 60–90 per added fob. Compare that to the cost of a blank UNIQUE 125 kHz fob if tenant self-enrollment is available. [Elektroda, zbigmen, post #20629696]
Can I enroll key fobs on OptimaSL255RC panels?
Yes, the process can be similar, but tenant editing is factory-blocked by default. The installer must remove that lock before residents can add tags. Ask your service to enable tenant enrollment if permitted. [Elektroda, Ircys, post #20630242]
What errors or edge cases should I expect during enrollment?
If the presented tag is already registered, the panel shows “REFUSAL.” Present the new tag within four seconds after entering your PIN, or the save won’t occur. After the panel returns to rest, test the new tag. [Elektroda, WojtekRav, post #20109298]
Is cloning a neighbor’s tag okay, or should I only enroll new tags?
Follow your building’s policy. Some administrators forbid adding or copying tags without approval. Use the authorized enrollment method with your PIN and a new UNIQUE 125 kHz fob. [Elektroda, air40, post #20108955]
