Hid Global Corporation 20KNKS-T2-005NTU Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20KNKS-T2-005NTU is a smart reader designed for access control applications. Smart readers process credential data from cards, fobs, or mobile devices and communicate with an access control panel to grant or deny entry. This unit is sold individually and is installed by licensed security integrators or low-voltage electricians in commercial and institutional facilities. It serves as a core component in electronic access control systems where credential verification at a door or entry point is required.

This smart reader is suited for commercial access control installations where a wall-mounted credential reader interfaces with an access control panel. Typical deployment scenarios include office buildings, data centers, healthcare facilities, and other secured entry points requiring card-based or credential-based authentication. The exact compatible panel platforms and wiring protocols should be confirmed against the manufacturer documentation for part number 20KNKS-T2-005NTU prior to installation.
