Hid Global Corporation 20NKS-01-00019I Signo 20 Smart Card Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20NKS-01-00019I is the Signo 20 smart card reader, a compact credential-reading device designed for access control installations. Finished in black and silver, this reader connects via a pigtail wiring harness and is configured for card profile credential presentation. It is sold as a single unit and is deployed by security integrators, electricians, and access control technicians in commercial and institutional environments where controlled entry points require reliable electronic credential verification.

The Signo 20 is suited for door-entry access control systems in commercial, institutional, and light industrial settings. Its pigtail connection style supports direct termination into access control panels or interface modules. The card profile configuration makes it appropriate for installations that rely on standard smart card or proximity card credentials. Technicians typically mount this reader at doorframes, turnstiles, or controlled entry points as part of a broader access control infrastructure.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified access control integrator familiar with low-voltage wiring practices and applicable codes such as NEC Article 725. De-energize the access control panel before making any wiring connections at the reader. Secure the pigtail leads according to the panel manufacturer's wiring diagram and verify polarity before restoring power. Mount the reader to a solid surface using appropriate hardware to prevent tampering or physical displacement.
