Carbine CEL-RFID-WB MIFARE Silicone Wristband - Blue
The Carbine CEL-RFID-WB is a MIFARE 13.56MHz RFID silicone wristband designed as an additional or replacement credential for Carbine CEL-3IN1 and CEL2 series digital locks. It is sold individually and is compatible with any CEL lock that reads MIFARE (ISO14443 Type A) credentials.
The wristband format is the hands-free option in the CEL credential range - worn on the wrist, it allows a user to present their credential to the lock without retrieving anything from a pocket, bag, or keyring. It is rated IP68 for water resistance, making it suitable for environments where the credential may be exposed to rain, splashing, or submersion - including poolside, gym, and outdoor trade settings.
Like all CEL RFID credentials, the wristband operates at 13.56MHz using the MIFARE chip standard (ISO14443 Type A). It is not compatible with EMV chips used in credit cards (VISA PayWave, Mastercard PayPass), which use ISO14443 Type B. Each wristband is programmed directly through the lock's programming mode; no separate programmer or software is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would I choose a wristband over a card or fob?
The wristband is the best choice when carrying a separate credential is impractical - poolside, at a gym, or during outdoor trade work where pockets may be unavailable. It is also a practical option for children or elderly users who benefit from a credential they wear rather than carry. For everyday wallet or keyring carry, the CEL-RFID card or CEL-RFID-FOB fob are likely more convenient.
What does IP68 mean in practice?
IP68 is the highest standard waterproof rating for consumer wearables. It confirms the wristband has been tested for continuous submersion beyond 1 metre in fresh water. In practical terms, this means the wristband can be worn while swimming in a pool, showering, or working outdoors in rain without damage to the embedded RFID chip. Note that IP68 ratings are typically tested in fresh water - prolonged exposure to salt water or pool chemicals may affect the silicone over time.
How many RFID credentials can the CEL lock store?
The CEL-3IN1 supports 1 programming code, 25 user PIN codes, and 25 RFID credentials. On the CEL2 series, PIN codes and RFID credentials share a combined pool of 100 credentials total. Wristbands, cards, stickers, and fobs all draw from the same RFID pool. Check the user guide for your specific model to confirm the limits applicable to your installation.
How do I program the wristband into my lock?
The wristband is enrolled through the lock's programming mode in the same way as any other RFID credential. Enter programming mode using the master code, select the Add Credential function, then present the wristband to the RFID reader zone on the lock body. Full instructions are in the CEL-3IN1 User Guide PDF linked below.
Is this wristband compatible with the CEL2-BT deadbolt?
RFID credential access is available on CEL2-BT leverset models but is not available on the CEL2-BT deadbolt variant, which supports PIN and Bluetooth access only. Confirm your lock model before ordering if RFID access is a requirement.
Additional Information
The IP68 rating confirms the wristband is suitable for submersion, but it is worth noting that all IP ratings are tested in still, fresh water under controlled conditions. Prolonged exposure to chlorinated pool water or salt water may degrade the silicone band over time. Rinsing the wristband with fresh water after pool or ocean use will extend its service life. The embedded RFID chip and antenna are fully sealed within the silicone and are not affected by water exposure within the rated parameters.
The CEL lock reads MIFARE credentials only (ISO14443 Type A, 13.56MHz). Credit cards including VISA PayWave and Mastercard PayPass use EMV chips (ISO14443 Type B) and will not register on the lock. This CEL-RFID-WB wristband uses a MIFARE chip and is confirmed compatible with the CEL range.
On CEL locks, PIN codes and RFID credentials draw from a shared pool. Wristbands, cards, stickers, and fobs all count against the same RFID allocation. Plan your credential mix before issuing across multiple users. In environments such as gyms or pools where multiple users require wristband access, confirm the total credential capacity of your specific CEL model before purchasing a large quantity of wristbands.
If a wristband is lost, the credential can be deleted from the lock individually through programming mode without affecting other enrolled credentials. This is a key advantage over mechanical keys - a lost wristband does not require a lock rekey. Refer to the CEL-3IN1 User Guide for the credential deletion procedure.
