Hid Global Corporation 20KNKS-02-0002BL Keypad Pigtail Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20KNKS-02-0002BL is a smart card reader with integrated keypad and pigtail wiring connection, designed for access control applications. Part of the HID Signo reader platform, it reads credentials and processes keypad entry to grant or deny access at secured entry points. The pigtail lead configuration allows direct wire termination without a separate terminal block, simplifying rough-in and panel connections. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers for this type of device. The Signo platform is engineered for modern physical security infrastructure in both commercial and residential applications.

The 20KNKS-02-0002BL is suited for commercial and institutional access control installations where both card-based and PIN-based authentication are required. Typical deployment includes secured doors, server rooms, restricted areas, and building entry points where dual-factor credential verification adds a layer of security. The pigtail output format makes it compatible with standard access control panel wiring practices. It is sold as a single unit and is categorized as a smart reader device.

Installation Notes

Installation of low-voltage access control readers should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with access control systems and applicable local codes. Power down the access control panel and associated door hardware before wiring or replacing the reader. Pigtail connections should be made securely and insulated to prevent shorts within the enclosure or conduit run. Follow the manufacturer datasheet for wiring sequence and panel compatibility before commissioning the device.
