All-metal IP67 keypad controller with 5,000 users, a short-circuit-protected lock relay and Wiegand output. Reads 125 kHz EM or 13.56 MHz MIFARE at 3–5 cm.
The SK-140 is a standalone access control keypad for exposed doors and pedestrian gates. Both the front panel and the keys are metal, which resists scratches and wear and wipes clean easily, and the unit carries an IP67 rating. It stores 5,000 users and releases the lock through its own relay after a valid card, PIN or card plus PIN.
The SK-140-E reads 125 kHz EM4100, EM4102 and EM4200-compatible cards and fobs; the SK-140-M reads UIDs from 13.56 MHz MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus, MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE Ultralight and NTAG2xx credentials. Read distance is 3–5 cm, and the reader is designed to cope with interference from its own metal enclosure.
Each user can hold an independent PIN, and a configurable security level is available. The illuminated keypad helps at night. Alarms cover door-sensor events and tampering, and the harness adds alarm, exit-button and doorbell connections. The relay output is short-circuit protected with a response under 100 µs, door open time adjusts from 0 to 99 s, and users can be copied to another keypad or managed from a PC.
The 13-lead harness includes Wiegand D0/D1 on the green and white leads (or TXD/RXD serial, set by DIP switches 5 and 6), so the SK-140 can also report to an existing controller. Operating temperature is –10 to +50 °C; for colder sites, compare the SK-120. Enrollment steps are in our keypad programming guide.

IP67 means the unit is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. Still route the cable so water cannot run down it into the entry point.
It operates from –10 to +50 °C and can be stored from –20 to +60 °C. For sites that regularly drop below –10 °C, the IP65 SK-120 is specified down to –20 °C.
Yes. With DIP switches 5 and 6 set for Wiegand, the green lead carries D0 and the white lead D1.
