Warning: Controlled door locks may be governed by regulatory bodies and should always be installed according to local regulations. In most instances, there are strict limitations to installing fail-secure devices and fail-safe locking devices such as magnetic locks or other similar locking devices on doors used as emergency exits.

Hooking Up Inputs

Connect devices to inputs 1 to 16

Resistors for all inputs 5.6K ohm (if selected)

The KT-400 has an on-board capability of monitoring 16 input points (expandable to 256 with expansion modules). Each onboard input is supervised with or without end-of-line resistors (5.6K ohm). The maximum distance of one line is 600 m (2,000 ft) with AWG #22 in a single or double EOL configuration.

Note: Onboard Inputs can be defined with: none, single or double EOL (End-of-Line) resistor(s) according to your EntraPass software settings.

Inputs 1-2 are automatically reserved for the first controlled door. The contact is assigned input 1 and the associated request-to-exit detector as input 2. Inputs 5 and 6 are automatically reserved for the second controlled door. The contact is assigned input 5 and the associated request-to-exit detector as input 6. Inputs 9 and 10 are automatically reserved for the third controlled door. Inputs 13 and 14 are automatically reserved for the fourth controlled door. There is no obligation to follow these rules but this standard convention facilitates servicing.

Connect readers and keypads

READER CONNECTION TERMINAL WARNING

Connecting the red wire lead (or power lead) of a 5 VDC reader to the 12 VDC terminal may damage the reader. See your reader

installation procedure for proper power connection. Up to 4 readers can be connected to a KT-400. They can be installed on one door to control both entry and exit or on four separate doors operating independently to control one-way access. The distance between the readers and the KT-400 varies by reader type (please consult the installation manual for details). Auxiliary outputs provide visual and/or audible access operation feedback at the controlled door. Outputs “READER DOOR 1 - OUT1 OUT2 LED & BUZ” are used for the first door, “READER DOOR 2 - OUT1 OUT2 LED & BUZ” are used for the second door, “READER DOOR 3 - OUT1 OUT2 LED & BUZ” are used for the third door and “READER DOOR 4 - OUT1 OUT2 LED & BUZ” are used for the fourth door.
