TM08v2 Multi-Format Blank
Multi-format blank; confirm the supplied version and your duplicator's support.
A multi-format blank intended to replace several single-format blanks. The TM08v2 is described as emulating the Dallas 1-Wire branch as well as the Cyfral and Metakom formats found in older CIS intercom estates, so one part number may cover several jobs. Support for an RW1990 blank does not establish support for this model. Confirm the supplied version, duplicator firmware and write procedure, then test a sample.

One part number aimed at Dallas, Cyfral and Metakom jobs
Check the target protocol before choosing a blank. An RW1990 purchase or a successful write on one controller does not establish compatibility with Cyfral, Metakom or another installation. When considering a multi-format blank, confirm the formats and write procedures supported by its actual version. Test it with the intended duplicator, firmware and controller. Review the site rules for rewritable credentials separately; a write lock alone is not proof that an ID cannot be copied.
Key features
- Universal rewritable blank for Dallas plus the Cyfral and Metakom formats.
- One blank instead of several format-specific ones. Compatibility depends on your reader, controller and firmware; test a sample on your own system before ordering.
- Write support differs between blank versions and duplicators; confirm the supplied version and its write procedure with your duplicator model and firmware.

Inside the stainless can
Typical construction of this can format: a stainless-steel shell, an insulating grommet separating lid from base, and the chip bonded inside. Lid = data contact, base = ground return. Wall thickness, grommet material and other construction details: confirm for the supplied version.
Which blank does your duplicator write?
Blanks differ less in the finished key than in how the copier writes them. Protocol names follow the routines used in mainstream and open-source duplicator firmware — check the blank list in your machine's manual before ordering.
| Model | Key format | Write protocol | Rewritable? | Pick it for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RW1990 | Confirm the supplied version and target protocol | — | Rewritable ID; request version-specific endurance data | Confirm the write procedure, duplicator and firmware, then test a sample |
| RW1990.2 | Dallas 1-Wire | RW1990.2 | Rewritable | When the copier lists ".2" specifically |
| TM-01A | Dallas 1-Wire | TM-01 | Positioned as one-time write; confirm for the supplied version | Sites that prefer a one-time-write copy; test a sample on your duplicator |
| TM08v2 | Dallas + Cyfral + Metakom | RW1990.1 | Rewritable | One model for a mixed estate; test a sample on your duplicator |
| RW2004 / TM2004 | Dallas 1-Wire (+ multi-format versions) | TM2004 | Rewritable + writable memory block | Controllers that read data, not just an ID |
| RW2000 | Cyfral / Metakom | RW2000 (~8 V) | Designed for one-time write; confirm for the supplied version | Cyfral & Metakom doors, copy designed not to be re-written |
Typical applications
Frequently asked questions
Can one blank really open Dallas, Cyfral and Metakom doors?
The TM08v2 is offered as a multi-format blank intended for Dallas-, Cyfral- and Metakom-type intercom systems, so a shop can try to serve a mixed estate from one bin instead of guessing which format the next customer brings. Whether a given door accepts it is not guaranteed: it depends on the panel, its firmware and your duplicator, which must be able to read and write the format in question. Newer protected systems (for example, some panels that moved to encrypted RFID) are outside the scope of any TM blank. Compatibility depends on your reader, controller and firmware; test a sample on your own system before ordering.
Does TM08v2 need a special duplicator?
Support for an RW1990 blank does not by itself establish support for TM08v2. Check the supplied blank version, supported source-key format and write procedure against the duplicator model and firmware. Verify source-key reading, blank writing and acceptance by the target controller with samples.
