Questions about this item

Will the Signo 20 reader connect to an older access-control panel using the pigtail wiring option?

Yes, the pigtail wiring option lets you terminate the reader directly onto legacy panel terminals without extra adapters.

How can I verify the reader is operating correctly after installation?

The surface-detection feature automatically recalibrates the read range, and the LED indicators confirm successful credential reads and OSDP communication.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The reader ships with mounting hardware; you supply the low-voltage power source and any conduit or back-box required by the door frame.
