Price: $90.00
Product Summary
The USB Pro Smart Card Encoder V9 HL-M1 is necessary for issuing key cards to guests and employees in the Prousb hotel card system. Most known hotel lock system suppliers from China use the Prousb hotel card system and USB Pro Smart Card Encoder V9.
At HoteLocks, The HL-M1 is specifically tailored for hoteliers to encode and issue their own bought mifare RFID key cards directly.
For example, suppose you want to buy customized Mifare RFID cards in your city and perform the encryption yourself instead of purchasing encrypted Mifare cards directly from a hotel lock system supplier. In this case, you will need this Pro Smart Card Encoder V9 HL-M1 to encrypt the Mifare hotel key cards and issue them to guests and staff.
This capability is essential for hotels looking to maintain control over their security measures and minimize dependencies on external suppliers for encrypted cards.
Note: You must purchase a hotel key card encryptor to encrypt your hotel’s blank RFID cards. The encoded cards can then issue access credentials to guests and employees with our Smart Card Encoder V9 HL-M1.

V9 HL-M1 Pro Smart Card Encoder Troubleshooting Guide
If your Pro Smart Card Encoder V9 HL-M1 is not working, here are several troubleshooting steps you can follow to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:
- Ensure Proper Connection: Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to the encoder and your computer. Try using a different USB port on your computer, as some ports may not provide sufficient power or be non-functional.
- Check Power Supply: Make sure that the encoder is powered on. Since it is USB-powered, check that your computer’s USB ports function correctly by connecting another device to the same port.
- Software and Drivers: Confirm that the correct Prousb hotel card system software is installed on your PC. If the software has undergone any recent updates or changes, it might be worth reinstalling it.
- Check the RFID Card Type: Use the corrupt MIFARE RFID card. Using the wrong type of card can lead to encoding failures.
- Confirm Card Encryption: Since you are issuing your encrypted hotel key cards, verify that the cards have been properly encrypted before use. Ensure the encryption is performed using a compatible hotel key card encryptor. If the cards are not encrypted, the encoder will not be able to write to them correctly.
- Restart Your System: Simple but often effective, restarting both the encoder and your computer can resolve temporary glitches and software issues affecting the encoder.
- Check for Error Messages: Look for any error messages or status indicators on the Prousb hotel card system software interface that might give clues about the problem. Error codes or messages can often guide you to the specific nature of the issue.
These steps should help you identify and possibly fix issues with your Pro Smart Card Encoder. If the problem persists, professional support is the best next step to ensure that your equipment is operational again.
