Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20NKS-00-0039HW is the Signo 20 smart card reader, a compact access control reader designed for secure entry applications in commercial and institutional environments. Finished in a black and silver housing, the unit ships with a pigtail wiring lead for direct field termination. The Signo 20 series supports modern credential technologies and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage or electronic security technicians. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for door or wall-mount access control deployments.

The 20NKS-00-0039HW fits standard access control applications where a wall-mounted smart card reader is required at a controlled entry point. Typical installations include office buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses. The pigtail termination style allows the installer to wire directly to a compatible access control panel without an additional adapter harness. This reader is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit access control projects.
