Hid Global Corporation 40NKS-03-018EFQ Signo 40 Smart Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 40NKS-03-018EFQ is a Signo 40 smart card reader designed for access control applications. The Signo 40 reads contactless smart cards and credentials, serving as a key component in electronic access control systems. Its black and silver finish suits both commercial and institutional installations. Licensed security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this device. The pigtail (PIG) wiring configuration and card profile (CRD PFL) designation indicate a direct-wire connection style suited for panel-based access control infrastructure.

The Signo 40 is used in commercial and institutional settings where contactless smart card access control is required. It is typically installed at entry points such as doors, gates, and secured areas within a building access control system. The pigtail output makes it compatible with standard access control panel wiring configurations. This reader is sold as a single unit (EA) and is appropriate for new installations and reader replacement projects.
