Hid Global Corporation 20KNKS-03-0143CP Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20KNKS-03-0143CP is a smart reader designed for access control applications. Smart readers interpret credential data from cards, fobs, or mobile devices and communicate that data to an access control panel or controller. This unit is sold individually and is typically installed by security integrators, electricians, or low-voltage technicians working on commercial or industrial access control systems.

Smart readers in this category are commonly deployed at door entry points, secure access gates, server room entrances, and other controlled-access locations in both commercial and light industrial environments. The 20KNKS-03-0143CP fits within standard access control infrastructure where credential verification at the reader level is required before granting entry.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor familiar with access control systems. Disconnect or power down the access control panel before wiring the reader to avoid damage to the controller or reader electronics. Installations must comply with applicable local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for low-voltage wiring.
