Hid Global Corporation 20NKS-00-00003U Signo 20 Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20NKS-00-00003U is the Signo 20 smart card reader, a compact access control reader designed for credential-based entry systems. Finished in black and silver with a pigtail wiring termination, this reader is intended for installation by security integrators and access control technicians. The Signo 20 reads smart card credentials and communicates with access control panels in commercial and light industrial environments. Its pigtail output allows direct wiring to the host controller without an intermediate connector, simplifying termination during rough-in or retrofit work.

The Signo 20 is suited for single-door and multi-door access control deployments in commercial buildings, office spaces, and institutional facilities. It is typically mounted at entry points such as doors, gates, and secured areas where credential verification is required. Installation is performed by licensed security or low-voltage technicians familiar with access control systems and wiring practices.
