Hid Global Corporation 20NKS-02-00WU38 Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 20NKS-02-00WU38 is a smart reader designed for access control applications. Smart readers process credential data from cards, fobs, or mobile devices and communicate with access control panels to grant or deny entry. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by qualified security or low-voltage technicians working on commercial or residential access control systems. The 20NKS-02-00WU38 is the primary component in a credential-reading assembly, handling the interface between the end user and the door controller.

This smart reader is applicable in access control deployments where credential authentication at a door or gate is required. Typical installations include commercial entry points, server rooms, stairwells, and secured areas requiring card-based or credential-based access management. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for new installations or direct replacement in existing smart reader assemblies.
