Access control keypad PNI DK110

Product detailed description

The PNI DK110 access control keypad is commonly used in residential, office, and commercial buildings to manage entry points. It integrates with electromagnetic locks, door contacts, and exit buttons to provide secure access control. Installers typically work with this device in environments where keyless entry is required, such as hotels, shared offices, or multi-tenant buildings. The keypad supports multiple access modes and is designed for durability in high-traffic areas.

Its vandal-resistant zinc alloy housing and IP54 rating make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The device is programmable directly on the keypad without the need for a computer, allowing for quick user management and configuration. The illuminated keypad ensures usability in low-light conditions, and the 12V power supply simplifies integration with standard security systems.

Technical parameters

The PNI DK110 operates on a 12V power supply and consumes 30mA in standby mode. It supports up to 2000 users and can be programmed with master cards for rapid user addition or removal. The card reader operates at 125 KHz and has a read range of 2–5 cm. The relay activation time is adjustable from 0 to 99 seconds, allowing for customised door lock release durations. These parameters are essential for system designers when selecting the device for specific access control applications.

Installation and connection

Installation of the PNI DK110 involves surface mounting and connecting it to an electromagnetic lock, door contact, or exit button. The device uses standard wiring for power and control signals. It is important to ensure that the power supply is stable and that the connections to the lock and door contact are secure. A common mistake during installation is incorrect polarity of the power supply, which can prevent the device from functioning. The keypad should be mounted at a height that is convenient for users and protected from direct exposure to weather if installed outdoors.

When connecting the device, verify that the relay output is compatible with the lock mechanism. The exit button, if used, should be connected to the designated terminals to allow for manual door release from the other side. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for wiring and configuration to avoid errors during commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

The PNI DK110 is compatible with electromagnetic locks, door contacts, and exit buttons. It supports four access modes: RFID card, access code, RFID card and access code, and exit button. For complete system functionality, additional components such as an electromagnetic lock and door contact should be installed. The device is supplied with installation hardware and an RFID card for initial setup. A detailed installation and operation manual is included to assist with configuration and troubleshooting.

Technical background for designers

The PNI DK110 operates using an RFID reader that communicates with 125 KHz EM cards. The keypad is constructed from zinc alloy, which provides durability and resistance to vandalism. The IP54 rating ensures protection against dust and water spray, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The device integrates into access control systems via its relay output, which can be configured for different lock types. The operating temperature range of -26°C to +80°C allows for use in a wide range of environments. The device's long-term reliability is influenced by the quality of the power supply and the mechanical integrity of the installation.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the PNI DK110 should include checking the power supply, verifying the integrity of the wiring, and ensuring that the keypad remains free from dust and debris. The device does not require scheduled maintenance, but any issues with access or lock operation should be investigated promptly. If the keypad fails to respond to input, check the power connections and ensure that the programming has not been altered. In the event of a malfunction, the device can be reset using the master card or by following the reset procedure outlined in the user manual.
