Hanwha NOD-AX25S Multi-technology single gang keypad reader

Hanwha NOD-AX25S Overview

The Hanwha NOD-AX25S is a multi-technology single gang keypad reader designed for modern access control systems requiring flexibility across credential formats and infrastructure protocols. Built for both indoor and outdoor installations where space and aesthetic integration matter, the NOD-AX25S combines NFC, proximity, and Bluetooth credential support with mechanical keypad entry in a compact form factor. Its OSDP Auto-Detect capability enables seamless deployment into existing Wiegand or OSDP control system environments without manual reconfiguration, making it ideal for integrations into enterprise access control networks.

Hanwha NOD-AX25S Key Features

• Multi-Technology Credential Support: Reads 13.56 MHz NFC, 125 kHz Proximity (PROX), and Bluetooth BLE 5.3 credentials. Supports all Ethos/LEAF-compatible card and mobile credentials, providing unified reader capability across multiple credential ecosystems.
• OSDP Auto-Detect: Automatically detects whether the installed infrastructure uses Wiegand or OSDP protocol, eliminating manual jumper or firmware configuration at deployment and reducing commissioning time.
• 10-Key Mechanical Keypad: Integrated numeric keypad enables PIN entry for single-factor authentication or multi-factor credential + PIN workflows. Mechanical construction provides tactile feedback and durability in high-traffic environments.
• Remote Firmware Upgrade Support: Enable or disable radio technologies and modify control sequencing remotely through the control system, allowing field adjustments without physical device access or returns to the lab.
• Accelerometer-Based Tamper Detection: Detects unauthorized physical tampering or removal attempts and reports status to the access control system, protecting against credential harvesting and device theft in unsupervised areas.
• EAL6+ Secure Element: Integrated secure cryptographic hardware prevents credential cloning and man-in-the-middle attacks. Complies with Common Criteria EAL6+ standard, meeting enterprise-grade cybersecurity requirements.
• Visual Feedback & Status Indication: Red/Green/Blue LED light bar at the top provides real-time status feedback (authentication success, invalid credential, tamper event, system state) improving user experience and troubleshooting visibility.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 5–24 VDC with low current draw (500 mA @ 12 VDC), enabling installation on 12V or 24V control system power supplies and compatibility with battery backup systems.
• IP65 Rated Enclosure: Dust-tight and water-jet resistant design rated IP65 or better. UL94-V0 and UL746C-F1 plastic construction resists UV and water damage, supporting both indoor and outdoor door vestibule installations.
• Compact Single Gang Form Factor: Dimensions 5.25" L × 3.29" W × 0.93" T fit standard North American single gang wall boxes, simplifying retrofit installations and maintaining clean architectural integration at entry points.
• 2-Inch Typical Read Range: Short-range credential detection minimizes false reads from adjacent areas and improves security by requiring the user to present credentials at the reader location.
• Made in USA with Lifetime Warranty: Manufactured domestically with lifetime product warranty, backed by Hanwha Vision America technical support and spare parts availability.

Hanwha NOD-AX25S Regulatory Compliance & Certifications

The NOD-AX25S is FCC and IC certified for North American RF emissions and safety. CE Declaration of Conformity validates compliance with EN 62368-1:2014 and related European EMC and spectrum requirements. UL294 certification confirms compliance with UL access control standards. The device is OSDP Verified to V2.2 standard, ensuring interoperability with OSDP-compliant access control panels and controllers. Operating temperature range of −35°C to 66°C (−31°F to 150.8°F) with 95% humidity tolerance supports indoor climate-controlled and outdoor weather-exposed mounting locations.

Hanwha NOD-AX25S Integration & Compatibility

The NOD-AX25S integrates with any access control system using Wiegand output readers or OSDP-compatible controllers. Its Auto-Detect feature automatically configures the appropriate protocol during enrollment, eliminating the need for installer jumper configuration or manual protocol selection. The device supports remote firmware upgrades through the control system, enabling field deployment of new credential types or control logic without device removal. All Ethos and LEAF credential formats are supported, ensuring compatibility with modern mobile access platforms and credential issuance ecosystems in use by enterprise customers. Typical deployment scenarios include corporate office entry doors, data center access points, facility perimeter gates, and multi-tenant building vestibules where compact form factor and multiple credential types are required.
