Hid Global Corporation 20NKS-00-0012NB Signo 20 Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20NKS-00-0012NB is the Signo 20 smart card reader, a compact access control reader finished in black and silver with a pigtail wiring connection. Designed for credential-based entry systems, the Signo 20 reads smart card technologies and delivers reliable authentication at the door. It is installed by security integrators and low-voltage technicians as part of commercial or residential electronic access control systems. The pigtail output allows direct field wiring to access control panels without intermediate connectors.

The 20NKS-00-0012NB is suited for new installations and retrofit projects in commercial, institutional, and light industrial environments. It mounts at controlled entry points such as doors, gates, and secured areas where card-based credential verification is required. The pigtail wiring configuration is appropriate for installations where the technician terminates connections directly to a controller or reader interface module.
