Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20HTKS-03-00059X is a Signo 20 series PIV smart card reader finished in black and silver with terminal mount configuration. Designed for physical access control applications, this reader supports PIV (Personal Identity Verification) credential technology used in government, enterprise, and high-security facility deployments. It reads contactless smart cards and credentials, communicating with access control panels and systems to grant or restrict entry. Installation and commissioning are typically performed by licensed security integrators or low-voltage electricians familiar with access control infrastructure.

The Signo 20 PIV reader is suited for indoor access control points in residential, commercial, and government facilities requiring PIV-compliant credential verification. The terminal mount design allows for direct wiring to access control panels. This unit ships as a single reader (quantity of one per unit) and is categorized as a smart reader device, appropriate for door entry points, secure areas, and controlled access zones where PIV card compliance is required.
