Inputs

There are 16 onboard inputs on the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller. Up to 240 more can be added through the addition of expansion modules, such as the KT-MOD-INP16, for a total of 256 inputs. Each input can be individually configured for one of the following application:

•Door contact (4 onboard)

•T.Rex (Request to Exit Detector) (4 onboard)

•Interlock (4 onboard)

•Floor Selection for Elevator Application

•Elevator Action

•External Alarm System Status (Armed / Disarmed)

•External Alarm System Alarm (Alarm / Secure)

•External Alarm System Zones

•Relays to trigger on each input in alarm event

•Zone shunt: Single or group of zones can be permanently or temporarily 'shunted' to a secure state on the same controller. Shunt method includes:

-Zone Shunt by another Zone - When a zone in alarm is programmed to shunt another zone / group of zones.

-Zone Shunt on Unlock - When a zone is temporarily frozen to its actual state (alarm or secured) after an access granted.

-Manual Shunt - Operator can manually 'Shunt' a zone to a secure state.

-Disarmed Door Shunt - When alarm system is disarmed, some zones may be 'Shunted' to a secure state.

-Entry / Exit Delay Shunt - When a user is in the process of disarming / arming the alarm system and entry / exit delay prevails, some zones may be 'Shunted' to a secure state.

•Arming / Disarming Request

•Postpone Arming Request

•Tamper switch input: The tamper switch is a non-programmable 'Fixed-Function' input. It is used to identify tampering of the KT-400 cabinet.

Lock Outputs

There are 4 onboard lock outputs and they are supervised. The locking function can also be performed by any onboard relay configured for this functionality.

Relay Outputs

There are 4 onboard relay outputs. Up to 256 relay outputs can be supported through the addition of expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8.

Reader Outputs

There are 4 different possible outputs for each of the 4 onboard reader interfaces for a total of 16 programmable outputs. Reader outputs are used to give user visual and/or audible feedback on the ongoing access events.

Reader Interfaces

There are 4 onboard reader interfaces. They can be programmed for Wiegand or ABA (Clock and Data) readers.

Elevator Interface

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller supports elevator interfacing with the addition of expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8, KT-MOD-INP16 and KT-MOD-OUT16.

Alarm Panel Interface

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller supports alarm panel interfacing with the appropriate connections made between zone inputs, relay outputs and the alarm system panel.

Automatic Port Detection

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller automatically detects the site communication speed set by EntraPass as well as the communication port which can be IP (ETHERNET #1), RS-485 (COM1) or RS-232 (COM3).
