Fits a door frame or mullion.
The AK-A08 is Akuvox’s A08S: a slim glass-fronted terminal in a dark grey aluminium frame. It takes PINs, QR codes, Bluetooth phones, RFID cards and NFC, and runs the door itself — in a body narrow enough for a glass-door mullion.
This SKU is the access terminal only.
You receive the A08S terminal. The in-wall box, Bkey fobs, cards, exit button, lock and lock power supply are sold separately.

One slim reader for every kind of user.
Staff tap a card or wave a phone, visitors scan a QR code, contractors key in a PIN. The A08S handles all of them, logs every entry and connects to Akuvox Cloud or your existing access system.

Design
Glass and aluminium, 50 mm wide.
Toughened glass over a dark grey aluminium frame, 140 × 50 × 26.7 mm. It flush-mounts in the A08 in-wall box or surface-mounts on a frame or mullion.
Rated IP65 and IK09, so it handles weather and knocks on an outdoor entry from −20 °C to +55 °C.
Credentials
PIN, QR, Bluetooth, card and NFC.
The touch keypad lights up for PIN entry and the built-in scanner reads QR codes for visitors. Bluetooth 5.0 lets phones and Akuvox Bkey fobs unlock hands-free.
The 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz reader takes most building cards, and Android phones unlock over NFC. It holds 20,000 users, 20,000 PINs and 100,000 logs.


Integration
Controller, reader or both.
One relay, two inputs and a 12 V 600 mA output run a door on their own. A tamper alarm covers removal.
Wiegand (in or out), RS485 and OSDP let the A08S work as a reader for an Akuvox A094S/A095S or a third-party controller.
How it works
From door frame to managed access.
01
Mount
Flush-mount in the A08 in-wall box, or surface-mount on a door frame or mullion.
02
Wire
Run PoE to the RJ45, wire the relay to the lock supply and the inputs to the exit button and door sensor.
03
Enrol
Add users with PINs, cards, phones and Bkeys in the web portal, Akuvox Cloud or ACMS.
04
Test
Check each credential type, scan a test QR code and confirm the log records every entry.
