2N Access Unit 2.0 125 kHz RFID Reader, 02137-001
Description
2N Access Unit 2.0 125 kHz RFID Reader – Reads 125 kHz Cards, Built-In Controller
The 2N Access Unit 2.0 125 kHz RFID Reader (02137-001) is a 125 kHz RFID reader with a built-in door controller from the 2N Access Unit 2.0 family. This 2N Access Unit 2.0 is the 125 kHz member of the family: a door reader that is also the controller, so one network cable and a lock wire are all a simple door needs. It reads 125 kHz cards that residents and staff already carry, which makes it a convenient way to replace an aging controller without reissuing credentials. It runs on PoE or a 12 V DC supply and mounts flush or on the surface in a nickel or black zinc frame.

Why Choose the 2N Access Unit 2.0?
- Reader and controller in one unit, so a basic door needs only a network cable and a lock wire
- One of the 2N Access Unit 2.0 family, which takes all 2N IP Verso extension modules
- PoE or 12 V DC power with a built-in tamper switch and two inputs
- IP54 cover and IK08 impact rating with -40 °C to 60 °C operation
- Zinc cast frame in nickel or black, flush or surface mounted
- 5-year warranty stated by 2N
Reader and Controller in One Housing
Instead of a reader that depends on a separate controller box, the Access Unit 2.0 carries the controller inside. You wire the lock, exit button and door contact to it and connect it to the IP network. For a door that needs more, 2N IP Verso extension modules such as an I/O module, Wiegand module or additional reader modules can be added to the unit.
Credentials This Version Reads
The 125 kHz side reads EM4x02 cards.
Mounting and Installation
Choose a flush frame, which protrudes about 5 mm from the wall, or a surface frame. Adhesive mounting on glass is also listed. Single-module frame sizes are 107 x 130 x 28 mm for surface mounting and 130 x 153 x 5 mm for flush mounting, and the flush box needs a minimum hole of 108 x 131 x 45 mm.
Typical Applications
- Apartment buildings upgrading old controllers
- Offices with 125 kHz cards already in circulation
- Storage rooms and utility doors
- Schools and campuses
