Akuvox · A08S · Slim access terminal

Every credential, 50 mm wide.
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.

In the box
  • Akuvox A08S access control terminal
  • Mounting hardware
  • Quick-start guide
What you also need (sold separately)
  • PoE 802.3af switch or injector (or a 12 V DC supply)
  • Cards, Bkey fobs or the Akuvox app for users
  • Electric strike or maglock with its own power supply
  • A08 in-wall box for flush mounting

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.

Akuvox A08S slim glass and aluminium access terminal

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, 100,000 cards, 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.

Answers

Will it fit on a glass-door mullion?

Yes. It is 50 mm wide and 26.7 mm deep, and can be surface-mounted on a frame or mullion, or recessed with the A08 in-wall box.

Which cards does this version read?

13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards, plus NFC on Android phones. For HID iCLASS and SEOS cards choose the A08S HID iCLASS version.

How many users and credentials does it hold?

20,000 users and 20,000 PINs, with 100,000 cards and 100,000 access log entries in the capacity table.

Can it connect to my existing access controller?

Yes. Switch it to reader mode and connect over Wiegand, or OSDP on RS485, to an Akuvox A094S / A095S or a third-party panel.

Does it work with the Akuvox Bkey?

Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 supports Akuvox Bkey fobs and enrolled phones for wave-to-unlock.

How is it powered?

From IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply. It also provides a 12 V 600 mA power output.
