The EP20CKQ [NISH] is an IP68 and IK07-rated multi-technology smart access reader featuring an integrated capacitive touch keypad and optical barcode scanner for high-security, multi-factor authentication environments.
The reader provides comprehensive multi-credential support, combining 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, enabling flexible integration for both primary access control and visitor management systems.
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). Housed in an IP68 waterproof and IK07 vandal-resistant polycarbonate enclosure (UL94-V0 & UL746C F1) measuring 89.8 × 107.8 × 23.6 mm, the unit operates on 9–24 VDC power across an operating temperature range of -30 °C to 70 °C and holds UL294, CE, FCC, RoHS 3.0, and WEEE certifications.
