iCLASS and SEOS in a slim A08.
The AK-A08HI is the HID iCLASS version of Akuvox’s A08S. The body, keypad, QR scanner and Bluetooth are the same as the standard A08S, but the card reader is an HID module — so sites already issuing HID iCLASS or SEOS cards can move to a networked Akuvox door without reissuing credentials.
This SKU is the access terminal only.
You receive the A08S HID iCLASS terminal. The in-wall box, HID cards, Bkey fobs, exit button, lock and lock power supply are sold separately.

Secure HID credentials on a modern IP door.
HID iCLASS and SEOS cards keep working, and the same reader adds PINs, QR codes for visitors and Bluetooth phone access. Manage it alone, in Akuvox Cloud, or as an OSDP reader on your existing controller.

HID reader
iCLASS, SEOS and ISO cards.
The 13.56 MHz HID module reads HID iCLASS and HID SEOS as well as ISO14443A, ISO14443B and ISO15693 cards.
This version does not read 125 kHz proximity cards. Pair it with HID cards rather than 125 kHz fobs.
More ways in
Keypad, QR and Bluetooth too.
The touch keypad stores 20,000 PINs, the scanner reads QR codes for visitors, and Bluetooth 5.0 supports phones and Akuvox Bkey fobs.
It holds 20,000 users, 100,000 cards and 100,000 access log entries, managed in the web portal, Akuvox Cloud, SDMC or ACMS.

Integration
Runs a door or feeds a controller.
One relay, two inputs, a tamper alarm and a 12 V 600 mA output control a door on their own.
Wiegand, RS485 and OSDP connect it as a reader to an Akuvox A094S or a third-party panel. IP65, IK09, flush or surface mounting.
How it works
From HID cards to a managed door.
01
Mount
Flush-mount in the A08 in-wall box, or surface-mount on a frame or mullion.
02
Wire
Run PoE to the RJ45 and wire the relay and inputs, or connect Wiegand / OSDP to your controller.
03
Enrol HID cards
Enrol iCLASS or SEOS cards, PINs and phones in the web portal, Akuvox Cloud or ACMS.
04
Test
Present each card type, try a PIN, a QR code and Bluetooth, and check the log.

Answers
Common questions
Which cards does it read?
13.56 MHz HID iCLASS and HID SEOS, plus ISO14443A, ISO14443B and ISO15693 cards.
Does it read 125 kHz HID Prox cards?
No. This version is 13.56 MHz only. Akuvox makes a separate A08S HID Prox version for 125 kHz cards.
Can visitors get in without an HID card?
Yes. The built-in scanner reads QR codes, users can key in a PIN, and enrolled phones and Akuvox Bkey fobs unlock over Bluetooth 5.0.
How is it different from the standard A08S?
Same body, keypad, QR scanner, Bluetooth and controller. The standard A08S reads 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz cards with NFC; this version swaps in an HID iCLASS / SEOS reader.
Can it connect to a third-party controller?
Yes. In reader mode it talks to a controller over Wiegand or OSDP on RS485, so an existing HID-based system can keep its panel.
How many users does it hold?
20,000 users and 20,000 PINs, with 100,000 cards and 100,000 access log entries.
How is it powered?
From IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply. It also has a 12 V 600 mA output.
HID-ready slim reader.
Choose this version when the site already runs HID iCLASS or SEOS. For 125 kHz and general 13.56 MHz cards with NFC, choose the standard A08S (AK-A08).
Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply. Treat as SELV low-voltage equipment.
When a licensed tradesperson is required. Concealed data and intercom cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. Electric locks, maglocks and lock power supplies may require a licensed electrician or security installer.
