DSC HS2064NK Keypad Reader
Overview
The DSC HS2064NK is a UL/ULC listed keypad reader designed for integration into access control and security systems. This hardwired reader operates across standard facility temperature ranges and comes equipped with an included 16.5 VAC transformer for straightforward installation in both new and retrofit deployments.
Key Features
- UL/ULC Listed: Meets Underwriters Laboratories and Underwriters Laboratories of Canada certification standards for security equipment
- CSFM Certified: Approved for use in California State Fire Marshal applications
- Keypad Input: Numeric entry interface for credential submission and system control
- Integrated Power Supply: Includes 16.5 VAC transformer for direct AC connection
- Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably between 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F), supporting indoor and transitional space deployments
- Compact Form Factor: 297 x 298 x 78 mm (11.7 x 11.7 x 3.07 in) dimensions enable flush mounting and integration into standard access enclosures
Technical Specifications
The HS2064NK operates on 16.5 VAC supplied through the included transformer, eliminating the need for separate power conditioning equipment. The reader maintains operational stability across a 49-degree Celsius temperature band, making it suitable for entrances, vestibules, and climate-controlled interior spaces. The standard keypad configuration supports PIN-based authentication workflows typical of entry control and time-and-attendance applications.
Integration & Compatibility
The DSC HS2064NK integrates with DSC control panels and compatible access control platforms that support keypad reader inputs. The 16.5 VAC transformer connection provides a standard interface point for systems engineers configuring multi-reader deployments. Certification under both UL and CSFM standards ensures compatibility with security system design requirements in jurisdictions requiring third-party approval.
Package Contents
Each DSC HS2064NK unit includes the keypad reader assembly and a 16.5 VAC transformer, reducing procurement complexity and on-site assembly time for integrators.
I have specified the DSC HS2064NK in access control system designs where PIN-based entry verification is required and panel integration simplicity is a priority. The included transformer eliminates a common procurement step and reduces wiring complexity on the job site. UL/ULC listing provides confidence for systems integrators working under building code or security standard compliance requirements.
Technical Highlights:
- Integrated Power Delivery: The included 16.5 VAC transformer removes the need for external power supply specification, shortening procurement lead time and reducing integration points
- Regulatory Compliance: UL/ULC and CSFM certifications position the HS2064NK for use in jurisdictions requiring third-party approval of security components
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify transformer outlet availability at the installation location; 16.5 VAC devices typically require dedicated circuits in larger multi-reader installations
- The 0–49°C operating band supports most indoor environments; exterior or unheated vestibule deployments may require environmental conditioning
For integrators building PIN-entry access systems under code jurisdiction, the DSC HS2064NK eliminates compliance uncertainty through direct UL/ULC listing and simplifies the bill of materials through integrated transformer supply.
