HID 921PTNNEK00000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the HID RK40 reader require a PIN, or can it read a prox card alone?
The RK40 (part 921PTNNEK00000) is a combination unit: it reads HID Prox credentials and has an integrated keypad, so it can be used for card-only, PIN-only, or card-plus-PIN depending on how the access control panel is configured. The reader passes the credential and the keystrokes to the panel; the panel decides which mode the door runs in.
2) Will the RK40 read the HID Prox cards and fobs we already issue?
Yes. The RK40 is an HID Prox reader, so the 125 kHz HID Prox credentials already in circulation at your facility keep working, and you do not need to reissue badges when you add or replace a reader at a door.
3) If I only need card read and no PIN entry, what can I use instead of the HID RK40 921PTNNEK00000?
The HID 921PTNNEK00000 is the RK40 reader, which supports keypad input in addition to HID Prox credentials and talks to the controller over Wiegand. If the openings only need a proximity credential presented and no PIN, the SDC IPRW Series proximity reader is a card-only alternative that also uses Wiegand output and reads 125KHz HID-compatible credentials, so it wires into the same controller input. Keep the RK40 where you want card-plus-PIN dual authentication at the door.
4) Is the HID RK40 reader suitable for commercial building access control?
It is a commercial-rated credential reader for electronic access control, black finish, intended for doors run off a panel rather than a standalone residential lock. It is a reader only, so it does not include a lock, power supply, or controller.
5) What is another Wiegand prox reader if I do not need a keypad?
The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility. It is card-read only, so choose it where you just need a badge tap; go with the HID RK40 where the door needs a PIN or card-plus-PIN.
6) Will an SDC IPRW reader drop into the same access control panel as an HID RK40?
Both are Wiegand output devices, so they terminate to a standard Wiegand reader port on the panel. The HID 921PTNNEK00000 RK40 uses Wiegand controller communication and reads HID Prox, and the SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125KHz HID compatibility. The functional difference is the credential path: the RK40 adds a keypad for PIN entry, which requires the panel to be configured for card-and-PIN or PIN-only modes, while the IPRW passes card data only.
