Hid Global 920PHPNEK00338 Pivclass RP40-H Smart Card Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL 920PHPNEK00338 is a pivCLASS RP40-H smart card reader designed for high-security physical access control environments. It reads 125 kHz HID Prox, AWID, and EM4102 credentials while supporting contactless PKI-based FIPS 201 authentication, making it suitable for federal and government-compliant deployments. The reader communicates over RS485 HDX using the OSDP protocol and ships with a pigtail connection. The LED provides red status indication with a green flash on valid reads. Security professionals and low-voltage technicians install this unit as part of a broader access control infrastructure requiring FIPS-compliant card reader hardware.

The 920PHPNEK00338 is used in commercial and government facilities where Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I) credentials are required. It is well suited for installations at controlled entry points - doors, gates, or turnstiles - where FIPS 201-compliant smart card authentication is mandated. The OSDP communication standard supports bidirectional communication with compatible access control panels, enabling encrypted reader-to-panel messaging. The unit supports FIPS 75-bit credential format and is finished in black for low-profile mounting on standard reader backplates.

Key Features

• Reads 125 kHz HID Prox, AWID, and EM4102 contactless credentials
• Contactless PKI-based FIPS 201 authentication for federal compliance
• RS485 HDX communication with OSDP protocol support
• FIPS 75-bit credential format support
• LED indicator: red status, green flash on successful read
• Pigtail connection for flexible field wiring

Compatibility

Designed for use with access control systems that support RS485 HDX OSDP communication and Wiegand protocol infrastructure. Interfaces with existing Wiegand output access control systems and most systems accepting Clock-and-Data magnetic stripe reader formats.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician familiar with access control wiring and OSDP device configuration. Disable power to the access control panel before connecting or disconnecting reader wiring. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring runs and conduit fill. Verify OSDP address settings and baud rate match the connected access control panel before commissioning the reader.
