HID ReadersFull Description
The HID Signo 20 is a compact mullion-mount access control reader from the HID Signo reader range, designed for secure installations where a slim, professional reader is required. Unlike the HID Signo 20K, this version does not include a keypad, making it a discreet choice for card, fob and mobile credential-based access control.
Built for flexibility, the HID Signo 20 supports a broad range of credential technologies, including HID Mobile Access via Bluetooth and NFC, 13.56 MHz smart credentials such as Seos®, iCLASS SE®, iCLASS SR®, iCLASS®, MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3, as well as 125 kHz proximity credentials on supported profiles. The datasheet also confirms OSDP support for secure bidirectional communication, alongside Wiegand and Clock-and-Data connectivity.
The reader is suitable for mullion-mount door installations or flat surface mounting, making it well suited to narrow door frames and areas where a standard wall switch reader may be too wide. With IP65-rated indoor and outdoor performance, a robust polycarbonate housing and a wide operating temperature range, the HID Signo 20 is a dependable option for offices, education, healthcare, retail, residential and commercial access control projects.
