Product Overview
Surface-mounted access points demand hardware that can withstand the conditions they face, and the 2N IP Access Control Keypad (02262-001) is built to meet that standard. Rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance and IK08 for impact resistance, this PoE-powered capacitive keypad is suited to building entry points, secure facility gates, server rooms, and commercial premises where reliable credential management is required. Featuring a robust zinc cast frame in black with a nickel surface finish, the keypad integrates directly into the 2N ecosystem alongside products such as the IP Verso intercom, Access Unit M, and Access Commander. It supports Wiegand interface connectivity, flexible PIN code structures including silent alarm codes and one-off PINs, and SmartSence Auto-tuning to prevent false touch registration on wet surfaces. With an operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C, it performs in both indoor and exposed outdoor environments. Power is delivered via PoE 802.3af or 12 V DC, keeping installation clean and cabling straightforward.
Key Capabilities
IP54 and IK08 Protection
Rated IP54 for resistance to dust ingress and water splash, and IK08 for protection against physical impact, this keypad is suitable for surface mounting at external entry points and high-traffic corridors where the unit may be exposed to weather, cleaning chemicals, or deliberate tampering attempts.
PoE and 12 V DC Power Options
Supports PoE 802.3af (Class 0 to 12.95 W) or a local 12 V/3 A DC supply, giving installers flexibility to power the unit from an existing PoE switch or a local power source. This simplifies cable runs and reduces the need for separate power adapters at the mounting location.
Wiegand Interface Compatibility
The built-in Wiegand interface allows the keypad to connect to a wide range of third-party access control panels and door controllers that use the Wiegand standard. This makes it suitable for integration into existing access control infrastructure without requiring a full system replacement.
Advanced PIN Code Management
Supports multiple PIN structures including a shared PIN for general access, unique PINs per user, time-limited codes, one-off codes, and a silent alarm PIN that opens the door while simultaneously triggering a separate alarm action. This range of options supports both everyday access and covert duress response.
SmartSence Auto-Tuning and Tamper Protection
Regular automatic calibration via SmartSence prevents false touch inputs caused by wet surfaces or environmental interference. A built-in tamper switch detects physical interference with the unit and can trigger notifications, reducing vulnerability to bypass attempts at unmanned entry points.
Best For
- Commercial Building Entry Points: The IP54 and IK08 ratings, along with the zinc cast frame, make this keypad appropriate for external doors, gates, and lobbies where the unit will face weather exposure and regular physical contact.
- Wiegand-Based Access Control Systems: Installers working with existing Wiegand-compatible access controllers can integrate this keypad without replacing the broader system, using it as a credential input device alongside the existing panel.
- 2N Ecosystem Deployments: Sites already running 2N IP Verso intercoms, Access Unit M, IP Force, or Access Commander can add this keypad as a compatible credential point within the same managed environment.
- High-Security and Duress Scenarios: The silent alarm PIN feature allows a separate response to be triggered when a user is under duress, without alerting the person at the door, making it suited to secure facilities where staff safety protocols are required.
Why Choose the 2N IP Access Control Keypad 02262-001
The 02262-001 is not simply a PIN entry device. It combines IP network connectivity, PoE power delivery, Wiegand output, and a full suite of PIN management tools into a single surface-mount unit rated for external use. Where a basic keypad provides only fixed-code entry, this model supports time-limited codes, per-user PINs, one-off codes, and a silent duress PIN that triggers a separate system action without alerting the person at the door. The SmartSence Auto-tuning prevents unreliable touch response in wet conditions, which is a common failure point for capacitive keypads installed outdoors. Its operating range of -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C means it will function in both cold climate environments and hot outdoor locations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the 02262-001 is suited to integrators building out 2N-based access systems or adding a Wiegand-compatible keypad to an established access control infrastructure.
Buyer Tip: Confirm whether your existing access control panel supports Wiegand input before specifying this keypad. The 02262-001 outputs credentials via Wiegand, which is compatible with the majority of commercial access controllers, but if your panel uses OSDP or a proprietary protocol, verify compatibility with your panel manufacturer before ordering.
Buyer Tip: If you are deploying this keypad as part of a 2N IP Verso or Access Commander setup, note that the unit supports 2N extension modules including fingerprint readers and I/O modules, allowing the access point to be expanded at the same surface-mount location rather than requiring a second device.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Building Entry Gates
The IP54 and IK08 ratings allow surface mounting at external gates and building entry doors where the keypad faces direct weather exposure and physical contact from multiple users each day. The zinc cast frame adds structural durability in these environments.
Secure Server Rooms and Restricted Areas
Per-user PIN codes and time-limited access codes allow IT managers and facilities teams to control who can enter sensitive areas and for how long, without issuing physical keys or cards. Incorrect PIN notifications add an audit layer to restricted access points.
Multi-Tenant Commercial Buildings
One-off PIN codes allow temporary access to be issued to contractors, visitors, or service personnel without creating permanent credentials. When the code is used, it expires automatically, eliminating the need for manual deactivation after the visit.
Duress-Sensitive Facilities
The silent alarm PIN allows a user under duress to open the door normally while simultaneously triggering a separate system action, such as an alarm or alert, without alerting the person at the door. This is suited to bank branches, cash-handling premises, and after-hours secure access points.
Cold Climate and Outdoor Installations
With a confirmed operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C, this keypad is suited to installations in cold stores, outdoor industrial facilities, and locations that experience significant temperature variation across seasons, without requiring a heated enclosure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your access control panel supports Wiegand input, you need flexible PIN structures including silent alarm and one-off codes, and the installation location requires IP54 and IK08 rated hardware for outdoor or high-traffic surface mounting.
- Choose a different model if: Your access system uses OSDP or a proprietary communication protocol rather than Wiegand, as this keypad outputs via Wiegand and may not integrate without additional interface hardware.
- Choose a different model if: You require card or fob credential reading in addition to PIN entry at the same location. This unit is a keypad-only device; a combined reader-keypad unit would be required where both credential types are needed at a single access point.
FAQs
- What does the silent alarm PIN do and how is it configured?
The silent alarm PIN is a separate code assigned to a user or zone. When entered, it opens the door as normal so the person at the door sees no visible response, but it simultaneously triggers a secondary action such as an alarm output or notification. This is configured through the web interface or 2N Access Commander. It is designed for duress scenarios where a staff member is being coerced into granting access.
- Is this keypad suitable for outdoor mounting in an Australian climate?
Yes. The confirmed operating temperature range is -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C, which covers both cold climate environments and hot exposed locations common across Australia. The IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water splash from rain or cleaning. The IK08 rating adds resistance to physical impact at the mounting surface.
- Can this keypad work with a third-party access control panel rather than a 2N system?
Yes. The 02262-001 includes a Wiegand interface output, which is the most widely used credential transmission standard in commercial access control. This allows it to connect to Wiegand-compatible panels from other manufacturers. If your panel uses a different protocol such as OSDP, confirm compatibility before specifying this unit.
- How does PoE powering work with this keypad?
The keypad supports PoE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 12.95 W), meaning it can be powered directly from a PoE network switch or PoE injector over a standard Cat-5e or better Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need to run a separate power cable to the mounting location. A local 12 V / 3 A DC supply can also be used if PoE is not available at the installation point.
- What is SmartSence Auto-tuning and why does it matter for outdoor use?
SmartSence Auto-tuning is a regular automatic calibration routine built into the capacitive touch keypad. Its primary practical effect is that it prevents false touch registration when the keypad surface is wet, which is a known issue with capacitive keypads installed outdoors or in areas exposed to rain or condensation. It adjusts sensitivity automatically rather than requiring manual recalibration.
- Can this keypad be expanded with additional modules such as a fingerprint reader?
Yes. The 02262-001 is compatible with extension modules from the 2N IP Verso range, including fingerprint readers, additional I/O modules, and Wiegand extension modules. This allows the access point to be upgraded at the same surface-mount location without replacing the base unit, which is useful when site security requirements change after initial installation.
- Where can I purchase the 2N IP Access Control Keypad 02262-001 in Australia?
The 02262-001 is available through Security Wholesalers, which supplies the 2N range to installers and integrators across Australia. It is recommended to confirm current stock availability and lead times before specifying this unit on a project, particularly for larger deployments requiring multiple units.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat-5e or better is the recommended cabling for the network and PoE connection. Use shielded cable (STP/FTP) in environments with significant electrical interference such as industrial facilities.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard PoE maximum cable length applies, being 100 m from switch to device over Cat-5e or Cat-6. Longer runs will require a PoE extender or midspan injector positioned closer to the keypad.
- PoE Considerations: The keypad is a Class 0 PoE 802.3af device drawing up to 12.95 W. Confirm that the PoE switch port or injector can supply at least this wattage per port when calculating total switch power budgets for multi-keypad deployments.
- Wiring Tips: The switch outputs (active 8-12 V DC up to 600 mA; passive NO/NC up to 30 V / 1 A) connect to door strikes or magnetic locks. Keep low-voltage wiring for door hardware separate from data cabling to avoid interference. The 2 configurable inputs accept signals from -30 V to +30 V DC and can be used for external sensors or request-to-exit devices at the same access point.
