Hid Global Corporation 20KNKS-02-000000 Smart Card Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20KNKS-02-000000 is a smart card reader in the Signo 20K series, finished in black and silver with a pigtail cable connection. Smart card readers in this class are used to authenticate credentials at access-controlled entry points, reading contactless or contact-based cards and fobs to grant or deny access. This reader is sold as an individual unit and is a component in electronic access control systems installed and commissioned by security or low-voltage electricians.

The Signo 20K series is designed for access control applications in commercial and light industrial environments. The pigtail wiring termination suits installations where the reader is connected directly to a control panel or access controller via field wiring. The black and silver finish provides a professional appearance suitable for interior or exterior mounting locations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or certified access control technician.

Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the panel manufacturer's wiring diagram for correct termination. Do not apply line voltage to low-voltage reader wiring.
