Standalone Access Control | HID Prox + EM | Multi-Mode
WKP20 Standalone Door Controller with HID Prox and EM Card Reader Keypad
The WKP20 is a metal-housed standalone access controller built on a 32-bit ARM processor, combining a backlit keypad with an integrated 125 kHz HID Prox and EM proximity card reader in a single weather-resistant housing. Designed for Australian commercial, industrial and residential entry doors, it supports up to 20,000 user credentials, multi-mode operation (Single-door, Double-door, Interlock, Reader / Wiegand pass-through and Demo), and full Wiegand 26–66 bit output for integration with Tecom Challenger, Inner Range, Gallagher, Paxton, ICT Protege and other Australian access control platforms.
Deploy the WKP20 as a complete standalone door controller with onboard 1A relay, or convert it instantly to a Wiegand keypad/reader for third-party head-end systems via the TS1061-Dual Wiegand Interface. Self-adaption infrared anti-tamper, anti-duress credential support, multi-card unlock, super-open password, anti-crack lockout and configurable facility/site code make it suitable for everything from a back-of-house storeroom to a high-security access point.

Why Australian Installers Choose the WKP20
The WKP20 solves a problem most low-cost keypads cannot: it is genuinely multi-mode. The same hardware can run a fully standalone single door this morning, become the second leaf of a Double-door deployment this afternoon, and be reconfigured as a pure Wiegand pass-through reader for a Tecom Challenger panel by the end of the day — without changing a single wire. For Australian integrators stocking access control gear, that means fewer SKUs, faster jobs and a serious safety net when site requirements shift mid-install.
It is built around a 32-bit ARM microcontroller with self-adaption infrared anti-demolition detection, an alarm/doorbell MOS output, NO/NC/COM relay rated to 1 A, and an operating envelope of −40 °C to +60 °C — comfortable for outdoor entries through Australia’s harshest climates, from Darwin loading docks to Hobart rear gates.
Five Built-in Operating Modes
Switch between Single-door, Double-door, Interlock, Reader (Wiegand pass-through) and Demo mode from the keypad — no software, no programmer.
HID + EM Dual Format
Reads 125 kHz HID Prox and EM credentials simultaneously, or restrict to a single format. Reader range up to 5 cm.
20,000 Users & 21 Admin Cards
Programme by card, PIN, Card + PIN, or Multi-card unlock (2–10 cards in sequence). Admin cards include Set, Add, Delete, Super-open, Anti-duress, Authorisation and Normal-open.
Infrared Anti-Tamper 24/7
Self-adaption infrared sensing detects illegal dismantle attempts day or night and triggers the onboard MOS alarm output (up to 1 A) — immune to visible-light interference.
Anti-Crack Lockout
Configurable wrong-attempt threshold (1–10) with alarm-only or full keypad/reader lockout for 1–99 minutes. Stops brute-force PIN and card scanning attacks dead.
Wiegand 26 – 66 Bit Output
Configurable site/facility code (0–255), parity (EO or none), plus RS232-TTL HEX / ASCII-8 / ASCII-10 output for integration with virtually any Australian access head-end.
Integration with Tecom Challenger & Third-Party Panels
Set the WKP20 to Reader mode and it becomes a pure Wiegand 26-bit pass-through reader for Tecom Challenger via the TS1061-Dual Wiegand Interface, Inner Range Integriti / Inception, Gallagher Command Centre, Paxton Net2, ICT Protege GX/WX and any other Wiegand-input controller. PIN entries are converted to Wiegand card data using the configurable facility/site code (1–255), so users can be enrolled as card holders even when no physical card is presented.
Three external control wires (LED_R, LED_G, BEEP) accept low-level inputs from the host controller, so the WKP20’s red/green LED status and buzzer can be driven directly by the Tecom or Inner Range panel for full event feedback at the door.
Australian Integrator Note
When connecting the WKP20 to a TS1061-Dual Wiegand Interface on the main Challenger LAN as a “Standard Door”, PIN data is converted to Card Data using the programmed facility code. Factory-default the unit, set machine mode 03→0 (Reader), Wiegand output 64→4, and program facility code 60→(1–255) before connecting to the head-end. Full programming flow is in the Quick Setup Cheatsheet (download below).
Security Features Built for Australian Compliance
Anti-Duress Card
A designated duress credential opens the door while silently activating the MOS alarm output — for retail, banking and aged-care applications where forced entry is a real threat.
Super-Open Password
8-digit highest-priority unlock that overrides any user restriction, multi-card requirement or disabled-user state. Critical for emergency services and after-hours response.
Normal-Open Card
Toggle the door into Normal-Open mode with a tap — ideal for store opening hours, delivery windows or fire-drill events.
Authorisation (Header) Card
Globally enable or disable all users at the tap of one card. Lock the door down for cleaning, public-holiday closures or security incidents in seconds.
Installation, Wiring & Power
The WKP20 ships with a 12-core flying lead and accepts either 10–28 V DC (Red/Black) or 10–28 V AC (Red/Light-green, non-polarised). Standby current is ≤35 mA at 12 V DC and operating current is ≤100 mA, which means a single 2 A access-control PSU can power the controller, an electric strike or maglock, plus an exit button and door contact without breaking a sweat.
NO/NC/COM dry-contact relay output (1 A) drives the lock directly for low-current strikes, or a dedicated lock power supply for fail-safe maglocks. The grey ALARM(BELL) lead is a MOS drain output sinking up to 1 A — wire it straight to an external siren, a strobe, or a doorbell decoder for two-in-one keypad & doorbell duty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WKP20 work with Tecom Challenger?
Yes. Set the WKP20 to Reader mode (03→0), Wiegand output 64→4 (1–5 digit key + # buffered, 26-bit) and configure a facility code (60→1–255). Connect to a TS1061-Dual Wiegand Interface on the Challenger LAN.
What credential formats are supported?
125 kHz HID Prox and 125 kHz EM cards/fobs. You can also restrict the reader to read only HID, only EM, or both via menu 04. PIN-only operation is also supported.
Can it run two doors from one unit?
Yes. Set Double-door mode (03→2) and the WKP20 manages two independent zones with separate user lists, super-open passwords and admin cards using a single physical keypad.
What happens if I forget the admin password?
Two recovery methods: (1) Power-cycle while holding the # key to reset Admin PIN to 888888 without wiping users; or (2) hold the * key while powering on to perform a full factory reset (admin cards and user data are retained).
Is it weatherproof for outdoor Australian conditions?
The metal-housed WKP20 is rated for −40 °C to +60 °C operation. For full outdoor exposure in heavy rain or coastal salt-spray locations, install under a small eave or use a rain hood for maximum service life.
Does the keypad have anti-tamper protection?
Yes — self-adaption infrared anti-demolition detection runs 24/7. When the unit is removed from the wall plate it triggers an audible alarm and the MOS alarm output, regardless of ambient light conditions.
Is there an anti-passback or brute-force protection?
Anti-crack lockout is built in. Configure 1–10 wrong attempts and the keypad either alarms (43→1) or locks completely (43→2) for 1–99 minutes — stopping random PIN guessing and card scanning attacks.
Do you offer warranty and support in Australia?
Yes. CCTV Guru supplies the WKP20 with full local warranty, Australian-based technical support and access control commissioning advice for installers and end users across all states and territories.
