HID iCLASS RK40 Keypad Smart Card Reader

Description

Product Name: HID iCLASS RK40 Keypad Smart Card Reader

Country of Origin: USA

Manufacturer: HID Global

Product Description

The HID iCLASS RK40 is a wall switch keypad smart card reader. It utilizes 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology to provide a powerful solution. Furthermore, this device can combine a contactless card presentation with a personal identification number (PIN). This configuration supports dual authentication of identity. Alternatively, you can configure the panel for single-factor authentication using only a card or a PIN.

The PIN can be verified either at the access control panel or locally by the keypad smart card reader. However, when verified locally, the PIN must be programmed into the iCLASS card. Additionally, the reader features crisp architectural styling with an elegantly curved faceplate. The 12-position weatherproof keypad uses discrete switches to provide positive tactile response. Moreover, this response can be optionally reinforced by an audible tone. The keypad also features a waterproof silicone rubber boot, vandal-resistant metal keycaps, and backlit numbering.

Key Features

• Format Portability for Upgrades: Upgrading is completely transparent. This is because the same Prox format and user identification numbers—including HID Corporate 1000 formats—are brought across to future iCLASS credentials.

• Secure RF Data Transmission: All RF data transmission between the card and the keypad smart card reader is encrypted using secure algorithms. Additionally, security is extended from the reader all the way to the Hi-O enabled access control panel using encrypted Hi-O communication.

• International Standards Interoperability: Based on international ISO interoperability standards. Consequently, it provides compatibility with many popular card technologies including ISO 15693, ISO 14443A, and ISO 14443B.

• Optimal Read Range Performance: Features an auto-tuning feature. In fact, this feature automatically adjusts the keypad smart card reader for optimal read range performance on any mounting surface.

• Standardized OSDP Compliance: Supports bi-directional multi-dropped communication over an RS485 link. But note that, this is for use only with OSDP compliant panels and hosts.

• Versatile Keypad Output Options: A variety of keypad outputs are available. Specifically, options include outputs of 4-bit, 8-bit (Dorado), 4-bit with parity, 26-bit output, 4-keys with parity, and local PIN verify.

Conclusion

The HID iCLASS RK40 is a highly flexible wall switch keypad smart card reader. It is successfully designed to support dual-factor or single-factor identity authentication. By combining high-frequency contactless card technology with a 12-position tactile keypad, it delivers a secure access control platform. Furthermore, its auto-tuning feature and secure encryption capabilities ensure stable performance on any mounting surface. Therefore, its international ISO interoperability and flexible keypad output configurations make it an excellent choice for infrastructure upgrades across Bangladesh.

In addition, it is ideal for deployments requiring standard wall switch installations. This keypad reader is highly suitable for projects requiring strict card and PIN verification. Consequently, it matches the operational standards of layouts using ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 standard credentials. In conclusion, it represents a transparent upgrade pathway from legacy formats to advanced iCLASS hardware security.
