Hanwha NOD-AX15S Mullion Mount Credential Reader

Hanwha NOD-AX15S Overview

The Hanwha NOD-AX15S is a multi-technology mullion-mounted credential reader designed for secure, modern access control systems. This compact reader integrates seamlessly into both Wiegand and OSDP infrastructures via Auto-Detect capability, making it ideal for retrofit and new deployments requiring credential flexibility without complex reconfiguration. Built for indoor access control applications requiring tamper resistance and multi-credential support, the NOD-AX15S supports NFC (13.56 MHz), PROX (125 kHz), and Bluetooth BLE 5.3 technologies on a single device.

Hanwha NOD-AX15S Key Features

• Multi-Technology Credential Support: Supports 13.56 MHz (NFC), 125 kHz (PROX), and Bluetooth BLE 5.3 technologies; compatible with all Ethos-supported credentials on a single reader, reducing hardware footprint and deployment complexity.
• Auto-Detect Infrastructure Compatibility: Automatically detects installation environment and configures for either Wiegand or OSDP protocols, eliminating manual protocol selection and reducing integration time.
• Remote Firmware Management: Supports remote firmware upgrades for radio enable/disable and control sequencing, allowing operators to adjust credential acceptance and system behavior without physical access.
• Integrated 10-Key Mechanical Keypad: Built-in numerical keypad enables PIN entry and manual credential supplementation without external terminals, ideal for mullion mounting at entry points.
• Accelerometer-Based Tamper Detection: Active tamper detection via accelerometer identifies physical tampering attempts, triggering security alerts and integrated access control response.
• EAL6+ Secure Element: Hardware-grade security certification ensures credential data integrity and resistance to logical attacks; meets international security evaluation standards for access control systems.
• RGB LED Visual Feedback: Red, Green, and Blue LED bar at top provides intuitive transaction feedback (approval, denial, warning states) improving user experience and system diagnostics.
• Compact Mullion Profile: Dimensions of 5.25 inches L × 1.81 inches W × 0.93 inches T (133.4mm × 46mm × 23.5mm) fit standard mullion mounting applications with minimal aesthetic impact.
• Extended Voltage Range: Operates on 5–24 VDC with 500 mA typical draw @ 12 VDC, accommodating diverse power infrastructure from low-voltage DC supplies to standard access control panels.
• IP65 Environmental Rating: Protects against dust ingress and water jets; combined with UL94-V0 and UL746C-F1 plastics certified for UV and water resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in indoor environments subject to cleaning or humidity.
• 2-Inch Read Range: Typical read distance of 2 inches ensures secure proximity-based authentication without accidental activation, ideal for controlled entry points.
• Regulatory & Standards Compliance: FCC, IC, and CE certified; OSDP Verified to V2.2; UL294 access control safety certification; conforms to EN 62368-1:2014 for electrical safety and EMC performance.

Hanwha NOD-AX15S Integration & Compatibility

The NOD-AX15S is OSDP Verified to V2.2 standard, ensuring full interoperability with OSDP-capable access control panels and systems. Auto-Detect functionality eliminates the need for manual configuration of Wiegand or OSDP mode, streamlining deployment in mixed-protocol environments. Remote firmware upgrade capability enables integration with modern access control management platforms for centralized credential policy updates and radio transceiver control. The reader is compatible with all Hanwha Ethos-supported credential formats, allowing credential pooling across NFC, PROX, and Bluetooth authentication methods within a single physical access point. Mullion mounting is standard, with dimensions optimized for integration into standard entry door frames without retrofitting door hardware.
