Hid Global Corporation 40NKS-00-015W5K Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 40NKS-00-015W5K is a smart reader designed for access control and credential identification applications. Smart readers process card or credential data at the reader level, communicating with an access control panel or host system to grant or deny entry. This unit ships as a single piece (sold individually) and is installed by qualified security or low-voltage electricians in commercial or light-commercial environments where controlled access is required.

This smart reader is suited for door-entry and access control installations in commercial buildings, office environments, and secured facility entrances. It is used wherever a credential-based reader is needed to interface with an access control system. Specific compatible panels, controllers, or credential types were not detailed in the available product data; consult HID GLOBAL CORPORATION documentation for confirmed system pairings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or credentialed access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements.
