The EP20CK is an IP68 and IK10-rated multi-technology smart access reader featuring an integrated capacitive touch keypad for high-security indoor and outdoor installations.
The device provides multi-factor authentication across PIN entry, dual-frequency RFID (125 kHz and 13.56 MHz supporting ISO14443A/B and ISO15693), NFC, Bluetooth 2.4 GHz (up to 10 m range), and 1D/2D QR code scanning via an onboard 648 × 488 pixel area image sensor. Panel communication is established through OSDP v2.2 over RS-485 with AES-128 Secure Channel Protocol encryption (up to 128-bit) alongside configurable Wiegand interfaces.
Hardware-level cybersecurity is anchored by an embedded EAL5+ certified cryptographic chip, AES-256 mobile credential encryption, a magnetic tamper switch, and side-channel attack protection (anti-SPA/DPA/EMA/DEMA). Enclosed in a UV-stable, flame-retardant polycarbonate housing (UL94-V0 & UL746C F1) measuring 89.8 × 107.8 × 23.6 mm, the unit operates on 9–24 VDC power across operating temperatures from -30 °C to 70 °C and holds UL294, CE, FCC, RoHS 3.0, and WEEE certifications.
