Hid Global Corporation 921PHRNEK0001U Smart Card Reader

Product Description

The HID GLOBAL CORPORATION 921PHRNEK0001U is a PIV-class smart card reader designed for secure credential verification in access control systems. Based on the raw product designation, this unit is a PIV Class SE (Standard Edition) reader in a pigtail-wired, black-finish configuration with Wiegand output. It is sold individually as a single unit. This type of reader is installed by licensed security integrators and access control technicians working on government, commercial, or high-security facility projects where PIV or PIV-compatible credentials are required.

The 921PHRNEK0001U is suited for door-level access control installations requiring PIV-compliant card reading. The pigtail wiring configuration allows direct connection to access control panels without a modular connector, making it appropriate for recessed or flush-mount door hardware applications. Wiegand output ensures compatibility with a broad range of legacy and current-generation access control panels. Typical installations include government buildings, commercial offices, and facilities requiring FIPS 201-compliant credential infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage technician familiar with access control wiring practices. Power down the access control panel before making wiring connections. Pigtail leads should be routed and terminated per the access control panel manufacturer wiring specifications. Follow all applicable local codes and NEC requirements for low-voltage security wiring.
