Hid Global 921NHRTEK0013W RK40-H Pivclass Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 921NHRTEK0013W is the RK40-H PivCLASS smart card reader, a proximity and smart card access control reader designed for secure identity verification in physical access applications. It features RS-485 full-duplex communication, a single enrollment configuration, tamper detection, and a black housing finish. This reader is installed by access control technicians and security integrators in commercial and government facilities where credential-based entry control is required. It ships as a single unit and is suited for deployments that demand high-assurance identity verification at the door.

The RK40-H PivCLASS reader is intended for use in commercial and government access control installations where PIV or PIV-compatible smart card credentials are in use. It is well-suited for single-door or multi-door deployments communicating over RS-485 full-duplex wiring to an access control panel. The tamper-detection feature and durable black enclosure make it appropriate for both interior and exterior mounting scenarios where physical security of the reader itself is a requirement.

Key Features

• RS-485 full-duplex communication for reliable panel-to-reader connectivity
• Single enrollment configuration supports streamlined credential management
• Integrated tamper detection alerts the system if the reader is disturbed or removed
• Black housing finish for low-profile installation in commercial environments
• PivCLASS platform supports PIV and PIV-compatible smart card credentials
• Sold as a single unit (EA), quantity per package: 1

Compatibility

Designed for use in PivCLASS-compatible access control systems requiring RS-485 full-duplex smart card readers. Specific panel or controller compatibility should be confirmed against the HID PivCLASS RK40 product documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed access control or low-voltage technician familiar with RS-485 wiring practices and applicable local codes. Power down the access control panel and associated door hardware before wiring the reader. RS-485 bus termination and addressing must be configured correctly to avoid communication errors on multi-drop installations. Consult the manufacturer datasheet and panel documentation for wiring diagrams and address configuration procedures.
