Product Overview
For installers expanding the access control capabilities of a 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso modular intercom, the 2N IP Verso RFID 125 kHz Card Reader Add-On Module provides a straightforward way to add contactless card and keyfob reading to an existing installation. The module supports EM4x02, HID Prox, EM4100, and EM4102 card formats operating in the 125 kHz frequency range, covering the most widely used legacy proximity card standards found across commercial and residential sites. Featuring IP54 dust and splash resistance alongside IK08 impact resistance, the module is built to withstand the conditions typical of building entrances, gate pillars, and outdoor lobby panels. It connects to the 2N IP Verso 2.0 bus via two fully interchangeable connectors, draws power directly from the host intercom, and ships with a 220 mm interconnecting cable. A 5-year warranty reflects the build quality expected from 2N’s modular intercom platform.
Key Capabilities
125 kHz RFID Access
Reads EM4x02, HID Prox, EM4100, and EM4102 contactless cards and keyfobs, covering the dominant 125 kHz proximity card formats used across commercial buildings, apartment complexes, and gated residential sites.
IP54 and IK08 Protection
Rated IP54 for dust and water splash resistance, and IK08 for impact resistance, making the module suitable for outdoor entrance panels, exposed lobby intercom installations, and high-traffic access points subject to occasional physical contact.
Dual Interchangeable Bus Connectors
Two fully interchangeable 2N IP Verso 2.0 bus connectors allow the module to be positioned anywhere in the bus chain. Either connector accepts the input from the main unit, and the other passes the signal to the next module in line.
Bus-Powered Operation
The module draws power directly from the host intercom through the bus connector, eliminating the need for a separate power supply and simplifying installation when adding RFID access to an existing 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso unit.
Best For
- Upgrading existing 2N intercoms: Sites already running a 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso that need contactless card access added without replacing the host intercom unit.
- HID Prox and EM card environments: Buildings using HID Prox, EM4100, EM4102, or EM4x02 credentials where the access control system is built around the 125 kHz standard.
- Outdoor and exposed intercom panels: Entrance columns, gate intercoms, and outdoor lobby panels where IP54 and IK08 ratings are required to meet building specification or withstand weather exposure.
Why Choose the 2N IP Verso RFID 125 kHz Card Reader Module
This module is the purpose-built path to adding 125 kHz RFID access to a 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso intercom without introducing a separate reader, controller, or wiring run. Because it integrates directly into the intercom’s modular bus and draws power from the host unit, the installation remains clean and contained within the intercom enclosure design. The module’s support for HID Prox and EM-series card formats addresses the credential types found across the majority of legacy Australian commercial access control installations, making it practical for upgrade projects where existing cards and keyfobs must be retained. The IP54 and IK08 ratings match the protection level of the 2N Verso platform itself, so the combined installation holds up at exposed entry points. Available through Security Wholesalers, the module carries a 5-year warranty, which is consistent with 2N’s standard product guarantee and reflects the expected service life of a modular intercom component.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This module reads 125 kHz RFID credentials only. If your site uses 13.56 MHz cards such as MIFARE, DESFire, or similar contactless smart card formats, this module will not read them. Confirm your existing card stock operates at 125 kHz before ordering. If you are unsure, check the credential manufacturer’s label or datasheet for the operating frequency.

Ideal Use Cases
Apartment Building Entry
Adds resident card and keyfob access to a 2N LTE Verso lobby intercom, allowing building managers to issue and revoke 125 kHz credentials without installing a separate reader at the entrance.
Commercial Office Entry
Where HID Prox cards are already in use across a site, this module integrates RFID access into the 2N IP Verso intercom panel at reception or main entry, keeping the credential system consistent across the building.
Gated Residential or Estate Entry
The IP54 and IK08 ratings make this module appropriate for gate pillar-mounted intercom panels exposed to weather and occasional physical contact, delivering reliable card reads in outdoor access conditions.
Multi-Module Intercom Configurations
The dual interchangeable bus connectors allow this RFID module to sit at any position in a 2N IP Verso bus chain alongside other add-on modules, supporting flexible intercom panel builds for larger access control projects.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this module if: You are running a 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso intercom and need to add contactless access using 125 kHz credentials including HID Prox, EM4100, EM4102, or EM4x02 cards or keyfobs.
- Choose a different module if: Your site uses 13.56 MHz smart card standards such as MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, or similar contactless technologies, as this module operates exclusively in the 125 kHz frequency band and cannot read those credential types.
- Choose a different module if: The host intercom at your site is not part of the 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso platform. This module is not compatible with other intercom brands or non-Verso 2N products.
FAQs
- Which intercom units is this RFID module compatible with?
This module is designed specifically for the 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso modular intercom platforms. It connects via the 2N IP Verso 2.0 bus. It is not compatible with other 2N intercom products outside the Verso modular range, and it cannot be used as a standalone reader.
- What card and keyfob formats does the module support?
The module reads 125 kHz proximity credentials including EM4x02, EM4100, EM4102, and HID Prox formats. These cover the most common legacy proximity card types used in Australian commercial and residential access control installations. It does not support 13.56 MHz or higher-frequency smart card formats.
- Does the module need a separate power supply?
No. The module draws power directly from the host intercom through the 2N IP Verso 2.0 bus connector. No separate power supply or cabling is required beyond the bus interconnection to the host unit or the adjacent module in the chain.
- What is the IP and IK rating, and what does it mean for outdoor installation?
The module carries an IP54 rating, confirming resistance to dust ingress and water splashing from any direction. The IK08 rating confirms it can withstand moderate impact, equivalent to around 5 joules. Together these ratings make the module suitable for outdoor entrance panels and gate-mounted intercom installations exposed to weather and foot traffic.
- How does the bus connector work if this is the last module in the chain?
The module has 2 fully interchangeable bus connectors. When positioned at the end of the bus chain, one connector receives the signal from the previous module or main unit, and the second connector is left unconnected. The 220 mm interconnecting cable included in the package is used to link modules within the chain.
- What operating temperature range does this module support?
The module operates across a range of -40 degrees C to 60 degrees C, and stores safely from -40 degrees C to 70 degrees C. This range covers Australian climate extremes from alpine winter conditions to rooftop-level summer heat, making it suitable for installation in exposed outdoor intercom panels without temperature-related concern. This module is part of the Security Wholesalers range and carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
Cabling Considerations
- Bus Interconnection: The module connects to the 2N IP Verso 2.0 bus via the included 220 mm interconnecting cable. No additional data or power cabling is required at the module level.
- Host Intercom Cabling: All external power and network cabling requirements are determined by the host 2N IP Verso or 2N LTE Verso unit. Refer to the host intercom’s installation guide for Cat5e/Cat6 or LTE antenna cabling specifications.
- Module Positioning: The 220 mm cable length is designed for connection between adjacent modules within the 2N Verso modular panel. Plan the physical layout of modules within the intercom enclosure before installation to ensure the cable reaches between units without strain.
- End-of-Chain Connector: If this module is installed at the end of the bus chain, leave the second bus connector unconnected. No termination resistor or cap is required on the open connector.
