The HID pivCLASS R40 Contactless Wall Switch Reader is designed for organizations requiring advanced identity verification in FIPS 201 "Controlled" access areas. Its standard wall switch form factor allows for easy installation in commercial, government, and enterprise facilities while providing secure authentication for sensitive locations.

When paired with the HID pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), the pivCLASS R40 performs strong credential authentication by verifying that the presented PIV credential is authentic, that the credential data has not been altered or manipulated, and that the card is not a duplicate or clone. The reader supports PIV-based credentials utilizing an ISO 14443 contactless interface with a Card Authentication Key (CAK) certificate, helping organizations meet stringent federal identity verification requirements.

The HID pivCLASS R40 is configurable to operate in either Wiegand or PAM mode, allowing seamless integration into both new and existing access control systems. In addition to PIV credentials, the reader supports legacy credential technologies including iCLASS®, iCLASS SE®, and HID Prox®, making it an excellent choice for organizations transitioning to higher-security authentication while maintaining compatibility with existing credentials. An integrated LED indicator provides clear visual feedback for access granted or denied, improving the user experience.
