It reads PIV (Personal Identity Verification) smart cards and supports government-grade identity verification at secured entry points. The unit ships in a black and silver finish and connects via a pigtail wiring harness, making it suitable for direct panel or controller termination.

The Signo 40 PIV reader is intended for installations that require PIV-compliant credential verification, such as federal facilities, government buildings, and high-security commercial environments. The pigtail connection style supports integration with access control panels and controllers that accept Wiegand or similar low-voltage data protocols. It is sold as a single unit per package.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the access control panel manufacturer's wiring guidelines. Power down the access control panel and any associated door hardware before making wiring connections at the pigtail harness. Verify credential format compatibility with the connected controller before commissioning. Do not expose the reader to voltages beyond the controller's specified reader port output.
