Product Overview
Designed as an add-on module for the 2N IP Verso and LTE Verso intercom platforms, the 2N RFID Card Reader 13.56MHz NFC gives installers a contactless access control layer that connects directly to the Verso bus without additional power cabling. The module reads a broad range of 13.56 MHz card standards including MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus, MIFARE DESFire (CSN), HID iClass via PicoPass, FeliCa, and ST SR formats, covering most common access cards already in use across Australian commercial and residential sites. It also supports 2N PICard and My2N for tighter integration with 2N ecosystem credentials. NFC functionality adds flexible entry methods including touch, tap-in-app, card, and motion modes. With an IP54 weather resistance rating and IK08 impact protection, the module suits both indoor lobbies and covered outdoor entry points. A 220mm interconnecting cable is included, and dual bus connectors allow it to be chained with other Verso modules in multi-module configurations.
Key Capabilities
Broad 13.56 MHz Card Compatibility
Supports ISO14443A (MIFARE Classic, Plus, Mini, Ultralight, DESFire CSN), PicoPass, FeliCa, ST SR, My2N, and 2N PICard. This range covers most card types already deployed on existing Australian access control systems, reducing the need to re-issue credentials when upgrading to a 2N Verso intercom.
NFC Multi-Mode Entry
Supports touch, tap-in-app, card, and motion NFC modes, allowing residents or staff to unlock entry using a compatible smartphone app alongside a physical card. This suits modern apartment and office installations where both physical and mobile credential methods are required.
IP54 and IK08 Rated Housing
The IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and splashing water, making the module suitable for covered outdoor entry points and sheltered lobbies. The IK08 impact resistance rating adds resilience against deliberate knocks, appropriate for semi-public entry environments.
Dual Interchangeable Bus Connectors
Two fully interchangeable bus connectors allow this module to sit anywhere in a 2N IP Verso module chain, acting as either an input from the main unit or an output to the next module. If it is the last module on the bus, one connector simply remains unconnected, simplifying installation planning.
Best For
- Apartment and Multi-Tenant Buildings: NFC tap-in-app and card modes give residents and building managers flexible credential options alongside the existing 2N IP Verso intercom, without running separate wiring for the reader.
- Commercial Office Entry Points: Support for HID iClass (via PicoPass) and MIFARE DESFire CSN means existing staff access cards issued by a corporate access control system can be used directly at a 2N Verso-equipped entry door.
- Mixed-Credential Sites: Sites running multiple card standards across different door types benefit from this module’s broad compatibility, which covers ISO14443A, FeliCa, ST SR, PicoPass, and 2N proprietary formats in a single reader.
Why Choose the 2N RFID Card Reader 13.56MHz NFC
The 2N RFID Card Reader 13.56MHz NFC module stands apart from generic third-party readers through its native integration with the 2N IP Verso bus. Rather than requiring separate power or data wiring, it draws from the Verso bus via the included 220mm interconnecting cable, keeping installation clean and consistent with the rest of the Verso module stack. The combination of ISO14443A, PicoPass (HID iClass), FeliCa, ST SR, 2N PICard, and My2N support in a single module removes the guesswork around credential compatibility on mixed-use sites. The IK08 impact rating and IP54 weather resistance ensure the module holds up at real entry points rather than just in controlled indoor environments. A 5-year warranty reflects the build quality expected from an Axis brand product. Available through Security Wholesalers, the 02139-001 is a purpose-built choice for installers who need reliable contactless access integrated directly into a 2N IP Verso or LTE Verso system.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This module is designed exclusively for the 2N IP Verso and LTE Verso intercom platforms and communicates via the proprietary Verso bus. It is not a standalone reader and will not function with other intercom brands or generic access control panels. Before ordering, confirm the site is running a 2N IP Verso or LTE Verso unit. Also check how many modules are already connected to the Verso bus at that door, as the main unit has a defined maximum module capacity that must not be exceeded.

Ideal Use Cases
Apartment Building Foyer Entry
NFC tap-in-app and card modes let residents use a smartphone or key fob at the foyer door. The IP54 and IK08 ratings suit sheltered outdoor foyer installations where the reader faces daily contact from multiple users.
Commercial Office Door Access
HID iClass CSN support via PicoPass allows staff already carrying corporate HID credentials to badge in at a 2N IP Verso-equipped entry without needing a separate credential re-issue process.
Mixed-Use Strata Developments
Strata sites with both residential and commercial tenants often run different card standards. This module’s support for MIFARE, FeliCa, PicoPass, and ST SR in one unit reduces the need for separate readers at shared access points.
Staged 2N Verso Module Upgrades
The dual interchangeable bus connectors allow this reader to be added to an existing Verso module chain at any position. Sites that initially installed a Verso without a card reader can add this module as requirements grow without rewiring the intercom.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site uses a 2N IP Verso or LTE Verso intercom and you need to add contactless 13.56 MHz card or NFC mobile credential access, particularly where HID iClass, MIFARE, FeliCa, or 2N PICard formats are already in use.
- Choose a different model if: Your intercom is not a 2N IP Verso or LTE Verso unit, as this module is not compatible with other intercom brands or standalone access control panels. If your site uses 125 kHz EM or HID Prox legacy cards exclusively, a reader supporting that frequency range is required instead.
FAQs
- Which intercom models is this card reader module compatible with?
The 02139-001 is designed specifically for the 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso intercom platforms. It connects via the proprietary 2N IP Verso bus using the included 220mm interconnecting cable. It is not compatible with other 2N intercom models outside the Verso family, nor with intercoms from other manufacturers.
- Does this module support HID iClass cards?
Yes. The module reads HID iClass cards via the PicoPass standard (CSN read), which covers both HID iClass CSN and Picopass formats. This allows sites already issuing HID iClass credentials for other access control doors to use those same cards at a 2N IP Verso entry point without re-issuing credentials.
- Is MIFARE DESFire fully supported or only the card serial number (CSN)?
The module reads MIFARE DESFire at the CSN level only. It does not support reading application-layer data stored on MIFARE DESFire cards. If your access control system relies on reading custom data sectors from DESFire cards, check compatibility with your system’s credential configuration before specifying this module.
- Can this reader be installed outdoors at an exposed entry point?
The IP54 rating provides protection against dust and water splashing from any direction, and the IK08 impact rating covers resistance to moderate physical knocks. This makes the module suitable for covered outdoor entry points such as building foyers with a roof or canopy overhead. It is not rated for direct, unprotected exposure to rain driven against the face of the reader.
- How is the module powered?
The module draws power from the 2N IP Verso bus through the interconnecting cable. No separate power supply or independent wiring is required for the reader itself. This is managed entirely through the existing Verso bus connection established when you connect the module to the main unit or the previous module in the chain.
- How many of these modules can be connected to a single 2N IP Verso unit?
The 2N IP Verso has a defined maximum number of modules that can be connected to its bus. The exact limit depends on the specific Verso unit variant and firmware. Check the official 2N IP Verso technical documentation for the maximum module count before planning a configuration that includes multiple add-on modules. The 02139-001 is part of the Security Wholesalers range of 2N intercom accessories, and the team can assist with confirming compatibility for your planned configuration.
Cabling Considerations
- Bus Cable: The module connects to the 2N IP Verso bus using the 220mm interconnecting cable supplied in the box. This cable is specific to the Verso module bus and is not a standard Cat cable or power cable.
- Module Chain Position: The two bus connectors on this module are fully interchangeable. Connect one to the previous module or main unit and leave the other unconnected if this is the last module in the chain.
- Wiring Tips: Ensure the 2N IP Verso main unit and all connected modules are powered down before inserting or removing module bus cables. Confirm the total number of modules connected to the bus does not exceed the maximum supported by your specific 2N IP Verso unit variant.
