Kantech KT-SIG-20TKS-01 HID Signo 20 Mullion Reader Standard Profile
Overview
The Kantech KT-SIG-20TKS-01 is a multi-technology credential reader designed for mullion-mount installation in standard commercial door frames. It reads MIFARE smart cards, HID proximity, NFC/13.56MHz, and 125kHz proximity credentials — meaning you can enroll staff on whatever card stock or keyfob your facility already owns without forcing a single credential type across the building. Mullion-mount form factor fits door stile cutouts in standard U.S. commercial frames. Communicate via Wiegand or RS-485 to control doors and integrate with your access control system.
Compatibility
Integrates with Kantech control systems and architectures that accept Wiegand or RS-485 input. Supports multi-door credential scenarios — designed for environments managing 4-door access control zones where a single reader serves multiple egress points. Check your existing controller's input protocol (Wiegand vs. RS-485) before ordering; both are native to this reader, but your system must support at least one. Compatible with Kantech ecosystem expansion kits for lock licenses and wireless options where your installation calls for them.
Installation Notes
Mullion-mount design requires a standard door stile cavity (typical 1.25-inch depth). Verify frame dimensions before installation — retrofit applications may require frame reinforcement. Wiegand and RS-485 wiring run from the reader to your controller; keep runs under 500 feet for Wiegand and 4,000 feet for RS-485 depending on baud rate. No special power supply required if your controller provides reader power over the communication lines; confirm 12V or 24V supply availability at install location.
