Overview

What it is and who it is for

The HID Signo Reader 20 (20NKS-00-000000) is a mullion contactless reader from the HID Signo family. Signo readers support 125 kHz HID, Indala, AWID and EM proximity, 13.56 MHz Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS SR, iCLASS, MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2 credentials, and Bluetooth mobile credentials powered by Seos; the technologies enabled depend on the reader configuration.

The reader runs on 12V DC and draws 60 mA in normal standby, 70 mA maximum average and 250 mA peak, or 45 mA with Intelligent Power Management. It connects by Wiegand or RS-485 half duplex OSDP through an 18 in pigtail or a terminal strip, depending on version, and it can be managed with HID Reader Manager or OSDP configuration. The polycarbonate (UL94 V0) housing is IP65 rated and UL 294 rated for indoor and outdoor use, operates from -31 to 150 F and measures 1.77 x 4.78 x 0.77 in.

  • Best for: mullion-mount door installations or any flat surface where cards and mobile credentials are both used.
  • System fit: access control panels with Wiegand or OSDP (RS-485) reader inputs; HID Prox, iCLASS, Seos, MIFARE and HID Mobile Access credentials.
  • Important to know: the credential technologies enabled depend on the reader configuration ordered; confirm against your credentials before installing.
