Hanwha NOD-AX10S Overview
The Hanwha NOD-AX10S is a multi-technology mullion-mount credential reader engineered for modern access control systems requiring secure, flexible credential support across Wiegand and OSDP infrastructures. This reader integrates 13.56 MHz NFC, 125 kHz proximity (PROX), and Bluetooth BLE 5.3 technologies into a compact, hardened form factor suitable for indoor and semi-outdoor deployment in secure facilities, corporate campuses, and institutional environments.
Hanwha NOD-AX10S Key Features
- Multi-technology credential support — Reads 13.56 MHz NFC, 125 kHz PROX, and Bluetooth BLE 5.3 credentials with typical 2-inch read range, enabling seamless integration with diverse credential ecosystems and phased system upgrades.
- Auto-detect protocol switching — Automatically detects Wiegand or OSDP infrastructure at installation, eliminating manual configuration and reducing deployment time for integrators managing mixed-protocol environments.
- Remote firmware management — Supports over-the-air firmware upgrades for radio enable/disable and control sequencing, allowing operators to modify reader behavior and credential acceptance rules without physical site visits.
- Ethos-compatible credentials — Supports all Ethos and LEAF credential types including NFC, PROX, and Bluetooth, future-proofing deployments and simplifying credential administration across multi-vendor systems.
- EAL6+ Secure Element — Hardware-based security rating ensures cryptographic credential processing meets Common Criteria Level 6+ standards, protecting against cloning and tampering attacks on sensitive credentials.
- Accelerometer-based tamper detection — Integrated motion sensor triggers alerts on reader physical removal or manipulation, providing real-time breach notification to access control systems monitoring tampering events.
- RGB status LED feedback — Red/Green/Blue LED light bar at reader top provides immediate visual feedback for credential acceptance, denial, and system status, improving user experience and operational diagnostics.
- Wide voltage range and low power draw — Operates on 5–24 VDC input with only 500 mA typical current draw at 12 VDC, enabling integration into both legacy 12V door strike systems and modern 24V PoE+ installations without additional converters.
- Compact mullion-mount form factor — Measures 5.25" L × 1.81" W × 0.73" T, fitting standard narrow stile mounting without modification, reducing installation labor in retrofit and new-build applications.
- IP65 environmental sealing and UV-resistant plastics — UL94-V0 and UL746C-F1 rated materials deliver IP65 or better ingress protection against dust and water spray, extending outdoor and high-humidity environment life cycles.
- Industrial temperature range — Operates reliably from −35°C to +66°C (−31°F to +150°F) and up to EN 40 to 70°C at 95% humidity, meeting requirements for parking structures, loading docks, and uncontrolled exterior environments.
- Made in USA with lifetime warranty — Domestic manufacturing and unlimited lifetime product warranty reduce total cost of ownership and provide long-term supply chain certainty for integrators and end-user facilities.
Hanwha NOD-AX10S Integration & Compatibility
The NOD-AX10S integrates into existing access control infrastructure via auto-detecting Wiegand or OSDP output, supporting both legacy door controllers and modern OSDP Verified V2.2 systems. The reader is certified to OSDP Verified V2.2 standard, ensuring interoperability with compliant access panels, controllers, and credential management software platforms. Remote firmware upgrade capability enables dynamic reconfiguration of protocol mode, credential filtering, and control sequencing without reader replacement, critical for organizations migrating between Wiegand and OSDP architectures.
Hanwha NOD-AX10S Regulatory & Compliance
The NOD-AX10S meets FCC and IC certification for radio frequency compliance, CE documentation of conformity with EN 62368-1:2014 and related EMC/spectrum standards, UL294 door lock safety standards, and OSDP Verified V2.2 interoperability protocols. Plastics are rated UL94-V0 (flammability) and UL746C-F1 (UV/water resistance), ensuring durability in indoor and semi-outdoor installations.
