3. Setup Instructions
To integrate the Ubiquiti UA-Card-US with your UniFi Access system, follow these steps:
- Unpack the Cards: Carefully remove the 20 UA-Cards from their packaging.
- Access UniFi Controller: Log in to your UniFi Access Controller interface using a web browser. Ensure your UniFi Access devices (e.g., UniFi Access Hub, UniFi Access Reader) are properly installed and connected to the network.
- Add Users: Navigate to the "Users" section within the UniFi Access Controller. Create new user profiles or select existing ones to assign access cards.
- Assign Cards: For each user, select the option to add an access card. Present one of the UA-Cards to a connected UniFi Access Reader (e.g., UA-Pro, UA-Lite) when prompted by the software. The card's unique identifier will be registered to the user.
- Configure Permissions: Assign appropriate access policies and schedules to each user and their assigned card within the UniFi Access Controller. This determines which doors and at what times the card will grant access.
- Test Access: After assignment and configuration, test each card by presenting it to the designated UniFi Access Reader to ensure it grants or denies access according to the configured policies.

4. Operating the UniFi Access Card
Using the UniFi Access Card is straightforward once it has been assigned to a user and configured within the UniFi Access system.
- Approach the Reader: Walk up to the UniFi Access Reader installed near the door you wish to access.
- Present the Card: Hold the UA-Card flat against the reader's surface. Ensure the card is held steadily for a moment.
- Observe Indicator: The UniFi Access Reader will typically provide visual (LED) and/or auditory feedback.
- A green indicator light and/or a single beep usually signifies that access has been granted, and the door will unlock.
- A red indicator light and/or multiple beeps typically indicates that access has been denied.
- Enter: If access is granted, proceed through the door. The door will re-lock automatically after a short period or upon closing.
If access is denied, verify that the card is correctly assigned to your user profile and that your access permissions are current. Contact your system administrator if issues persist.
5. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your Ubiquiti UA-Cards, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Keep Cards Clean: Wipe the cards periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the cards to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity.
- Prevent Physical Damage: Avoid bending, creasing, or puncturing the cards. Store them in a protective wallet or cardholder to prevent scratches and damage.
- Keep Away from Magnets: While NFC cards are generally resistant to magnetic fields, it is good practice to keep them away from strong magnets to prevent potential interference.
- Do Not Modify: Do not attempt to alter or open the cards, as this can damage the internal components and void any potential warranty.
