DSC HS2016NK Keypad Reader
Overview
The DSC HS2016NK is a UL/ULC-listed keypad reader designed for professional access control installations. This reader delivers straightforward credential entry for door access systems and integrates into multi-door security deployments. The HS2016NK combines compact dimensions with industrial-grade certification, making it suitable for integrators planning mixed-credential or PIN-based access control environments.
Key Features
- UL/ULC Listed and CSFM Certified: Meets recognized security standards for professional installation and compliance documentation
- Keypad Reader Type: Pin-based credential entry for personnel access control
- Included 16.5 VAC Transformer: Power supply included; eliminates need for separate acquisition and reduces deployment costs
- Compact Footprint: Dimensions of 213 x 235 x 52 mm (8.4 x 9.25 x 2.05 inches) fit standard door frame and wall-mount installations
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Operates from 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F), supporting both indoor and climate-controlled outdoor applications
- Professional-Grade Construction: Built for security integrator deployments with durable housing suitable for multi-door access control systems
Integration & Compatibility
The HS2016NK keypad reader is engineered for integration into DSC access control systems and compatible platforms. As a PIN-entry device, it works alongside card readers, biometric systems, and other credential types in mixed-mode access environments. Integrators should verify host system compatibility and door controller support prior to ordering.

Physical Specifications
The reader measures 213 x 235 x 52 mm and weighs approximately 0.84 lbs. This compact form factor allows installation in standard electrical boxes and above-door mounting positions without obstructing traffic flow or sight lines.
Jerry TildsenPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The DSC HS2016NK addresses a core requirement in access control deployments: delivering a certified, compact PIN-entry solution that arrives with integrated power. I've specified this reader in multi-credential environments where PIN backup or primary PIN-based access is required alongside card or biometric systems.
Technical Highlights:
- Certification Status: UL/ULC and CSFM compliance reduces approval timelines and supports building code documentation
- Power Delivery: Included 16.5 VAC transformer eliminates the need for field sourcing a compatible supply, accelerating installation
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify door controller and access control panel compatibility before procurement to ensure protocol and wiring alignment
- Operating temperature range supports climate-controlled indoor installations; outdoor applications require protective enclosures in extreme conditions
- Compact dimensions simplify retrofit installations where space constraints exist above doors or in crowded electrical zones
For integrators building PIN-based or multi-credential access control systems, the HS2016NK delivers certified functionality with zero transformer setup friction. Confirm system integration requirements with your DSC documentation prior to order placement.
