Description
Evolis S10176 2 SAM Slots Extension Board Kit for Elyctis Dual Encoding Module
Here's how to expand your smart card encoding capabilities with multiple secure keys
Why You Need Multiple SAM Slots
- Handle multiple security schemes — different keys for building access, computer login, payments
- Streamline encoding operations — no manual swapping of security keys during production
- Support complex applications — government IDs, financial cards, transit passes on one system
- Enhance data security — tamper-resistant cryptographic key storage
- Prevent fraud and counterfeiting — authentic data encoding with multiple verification layers
- Meet compliance standards — EMV for banking, secure protocols for government applications
What's in the Extension Kit
- 2 SAM slots extension board — adds secure key storage capacity
- Installation screws — proper mounting hardware included
- Spacers — correct positioning components
- Installation instructions — step-by-step setup guide
- Compatibility assurance — designed specifically for Elyctis Dual Encoding Module
The S10176 solves a critical security bottleneck: when you need multiple secure keys for different card applications. Instead of manually swapping SAM modules, you can load multiple security schemes simultaneously.
What SAM Slots Actually Do
Secure Access Modules store cryptographic keys: Think of SAM slots as ultra-secure vaults that hold the "master keys" for different card applications. Each SAM contains the cryptographic keys needed to encode specific types of secure cards.
Multiple applications require different keys: Your building access cards use different security keys than your payment cards or computer login credentials. With only basic SAM slots, you'd need to manually swap modules for different card types.
Tamper-resistant protection: SAMs protect cryptographic keys in a tamper-proof environment. If someone tries to physically attack the module, it destroys the keys rather than revealing them.
Real-World Applications
Healthcare systems: Patient cards for medical records, staff badges for building access, and payment cards for cafeteria use — all from one encoding station with different security levels.
Government facilities: Security clearance cards, building access, computer login, and vehicle access — each requiring different cryptographic protocols and security keys.
Financial institutions: Employee access cards, customer payment cards, and secure facility access — all with bank-grade security requirements but different application protocols.

Common Questions
From our experience with multi-SAM encoding installations, these are the questions we get most often:
What does the S10176 extension board actually do?
The S10176 adds two additional Secure Access Module (SAM) slots to your Elyctis Dual Encoding Module. This lets you load multiple security keys simultaneously instead of manually swapping SAM modules for different card applications. You can encode cards for building access, computer login, and payments without changing security modules.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized dealer for Evolis ID printers and consumables in the United States. We provide full warranty support, technical assistance, and access to genuine Evolis components including SAM extension boards and encoding modules.
Which printers work with the S10176 extension board?
The S10176 only works with printers that have the Evolis Elyctis Dual Encoding Module installed. This includes Zenius, Primacy, Primacy 2, and Elypso printers. The extension board is not compatible with other encoding modules or standalone printers.
Why would I need multiple SAM slots instead of just swapping modules?
Multiple SAM slots eliminate production bottlenecks when encoding cards for different security applications. Instead of stopping production to manually swap security modules, you can have all your security schemes loaded simultaneously. This streamlines encoding for multi-application cards and reduces setup time.
What's included in the S10176 extension kit?
The kit includes the 2 SAM slots extension board, mounting screws, positioning spacers, and installation documentation. Everything needed for hardware installation is included, though professional installation is recommended for warranty compliance and optimal performance.
Is the S10176 difficult to install?
The S10176 requires internal installation into the Elyctis module, which involves opening the encoding module and connecting internal components. While instructions are included, professional installation ensures proper integration and maintains warranty coverage for security-critical applications.
Can the S10176 work with other brands of printers?
No. The S10176 is specifically designed for the Evolis Elyctis Dual Encoding Module and only works with Evolis printers that support this module. It's not compatible with other manufacturer's encoding systems or standalone smart card readers.
How does the S10176 improve security for smart card encoding?
The S10176 improves security by enabling multiple tamper-resistant SAM modules to store different cryptographic keys simultaneously. This protects sensitive data during encoding and provides authentic verification for each encoded card, while supporting complex multi-application security schemes.
What types of organizations benefit most from the S10176?
Organizations that issue cards for multiple security applications benefit most: government agencies creating multi-level access cards, healthcare systems with HIPAA requirements, financial institutions needing EMV compliance, and educational institutions with campus-wide multi-application credentials.
Does the S10176 require special maintenance or support?
The S10176 follows the same maintenance schedule as the Elyctis module itself. Regular cleaning of SAM slots and connections is important, and SAM modules should be handled according to their security protocols. We provide ongoing support for complex multi-SAM configurations.
