Four on-board doors

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is a full 4 onboard doors access controller. See Figure 1 for a description of the PCB
and Figure 2 for all the connection possibilities offered by the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
Communication ports
l 1 10/100Base-T (ETH1) Ethernet for network connection with the EntraPass Gateway.
l 1 10/100Base-T (ETH2) Ethernet for network connection with intelligent IP peripherals.
l 1 RS-232 for communication with EntraPass.
l 1 RS-485 (COM1) for communication with EntraPass or loop of controllers.
l 1 RS-485 (COM2) for RS-485 communication between the KT-400 and RS-485 modules.
l 1 SPI for communication with SPI modules.
l 1 USB 2.0 Host.
Note: You can connect a loop of KT-200 controllers on the RS-485 of the KT-400 if not mixed with other controllers (Kantech KT-
100, KT-300 and KT-400).
Note: The 10/100Base-T (ETH2), RS-485 (COM2) and USB 2.0 Host communication ports are to be used ONLY on upcoming
versions of the KT-400 controller.

IP connectivity
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, when used with EntraPass Special Edition or a Multi-Site Gateway, can report
events, gather its configuration through an IP connection over the LAN (Local Area Network) and over the Internet for a WAN
(Wide Area Network). In this mode, the 1st or local controller becomes a “Master Controller” and can poll up to 31 Kantech
controller(s). The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is compatible with all the controllers. Unlike the other controllers, the
KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller asynchronously polls the controllers (KT-100, KT-200, KT-300) and communicates with the
EntraPass Gateway only when necessary. This significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth required to operate your security
system on the network.
l AES Encryption 128-Bit: The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is extremely secure. It uses 128-bit AES encryption
to communicate with the Gateway which prevents any hacking from the internet and ensures secure communications
when used over the internet on a wide area network (WAN).
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. If using the KT-MOD-INP16 input module as double
end of line resistor, there is a128 inputs limitiation. Each input can be individually configured for one of the following
application:
l Door contact (4 onboard)

l T.Rex (Request to Exit Detector) (4 onboard)
l Interlock (4 onboard)
l Floor Selection for Elevator Application
l Elevator Action
l External Alarm System Status (Armed / Disarmed)
l External Alarm System Alarm (Alarm / Secure)
l External Alarm System Zones
l Relays to trigger on each input in alarm event
l 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.
l Arming / Disarming Request
l Postpone Arming Request
l 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).
Downloadable firmware
The firmware program can be downloaded from any EntraPass workstation to the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.The
firmware program, stored in the controller’s flash memory, is upgraded without having to change any parts.
Note: For KT-400 Rev.1 , the firmware upgrade can be performed form EP 5.01 and higher.
Trouble and reporting

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller constantly supervises ac power and battery condition and reports “AC Lost”, “Normal
Battery”, “Low Battery”, “Battery Critical” or “No Battery”, status to the EntraPass system. Power outputs are supervised and
electronically protected against short-circuits and surges. Locking devices are also supervised for short and open circuits.

Visual status indicators (LEDs)

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller has multiple status indicators such as for troubleshooting, network activity,power
status and outputs activity. See Figure 1 for their locations.

Installing the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller
Preparing to Install the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller
□ Required to install KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller

l For North America: AC transformer 120 VAC, 60 Hz IN; 16 or 24 VAC, 75 VA OUT; class 2 (not included), 75 VA
transformer
l For EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Asia): AC transformer 230 VAC, 50 Hz IN, 100 VA OUT (included in KT-400-EU)
l For North America: KT-PS-120 laptop power supply, 100-240VAC, 19VDC OUT, 120W (optional; not included)
l For EMEA: KT-PS-240 laptop power supply, 100-240VAC, 19VDC OUT, 120W (optional; not included)
l One battery 12 VDC, 7 Ah (not included)
l A visual inspection should be made when unpacking the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller. Any missing item/part
or damaged component should be reported immediately.
Physical installation
□ Check for ideal indoor location

□ Stay away from electrical or communication devices
The KT-400 cabinet has been designed to be mounted on a wall without any additional enclosures. The cabinet is large enough
to accommodate the battery backup supply and the necessary wiring connections for most applications. EMT (Electrical
Metallic Tubing) conduit knockouts are provided in 1.9 cm (0.75 in) on all sides of the cabinet. The cabinet should be mounted
indoors, in a secure location providing normal temperature and humidity, leaving 23 cm (8 in) clear space around all sides and
a minimum of 33 cm (13 in) clear space in front of the cabinet. The location should be easily accessible for servicing the
equipment and it is recommended that controllers be located close to the controlled doors.
Controllers must be located at a minimum distance of 2 m (6 ft) from any high voltage equipment or wiring and from electrical
equipment susceptible of generating electrical interference, at a minimum distance of 1 m (3 ft) from telephone equipment or
lines, and at a minimum of 8 m (25 ft) from any transmitting equipment. Physical access, using keys, on controlled doors must
be provided so that the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller can easily be accessed for servicing in case of malfunction.
Earth grounding
□ AWG #18 grounding wire to EGND

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller uses high performance communication, proper grounding must be provided to ensure
proper operation.
Make an earth ground connection to the cabinet of the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller as per the requirements of your
local electrical code. Wire the E-GND terminal on the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller printed circuit board directly to
that connection point.
Door locking devices
□ Connect the door lock device to + and LK1-, (+ and LK2-), (+ and LK3-) or (+ and LK4-)
Note: If you need external power for ALL the external locks, you can use an external power supply. Connect the power supply to
the VIN and GND terminals and put jumper JP4 on EXT.
□ When jumper JP4 is on INT, the total maximum current draw is 2, 3 or 4 Amp, depending on the transformer
main power 75 VA, 100 VA, or

□ When jumper JP4 is on EXT, the total maximum current draw is 12 to 28 VDC, 4.0 Amps for all configurations
with external power supply.
□ Check for local “magnetic lock” regulations

LK1-, LK2-, LK3- and LK4- and + terminals are located near the battery (BATT) terminals. The locking device outputs are
controlled according to the end-user programmed parameters for allowing access to or unlocking doors according to schedules
and access levels. These doors locking device outputs can operate DC powered locking devices such as electromechanical
strikes and can be configured to operate fail-safe or fail-secure (normal or reverse action).
Note: If required, the KT-400 can provide galvanically isolated output(s) by programming any of the relays.
Note: Use 1 K ohm EOL (End-of-Line resistor) between + and LK- terminals if not used.
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 oneway 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.
Note: For ioSmart RS-485 reader connection, please refer to the ioSmart installation manual.

Relay controlled outputs
The KT-400 provides four relay outputs RELAY1 to RELAY4 (3

Amps, 30 VAC/VDC). The KT-400 can be expanded up to 256
controlled outputs when using expansion modules.
l The KT-MOD-OUT16 module provides 16 outputs at a

maximum of 750 mA per output.
l The KT-MOD-REL8 module provides 8 relay outputs
at a maximum of 3 Amps per relay.
Note: Since the KT-400 maximum output current draw on the

SPI expansion port is 500 mA when the 12V AUX terminals
are not used, an external power supply of 12 VDC, 2 Amps is
required when adding expansion modules to the same KT-
400. See “SPI Expansion Port” on page 23 for additional
details concerning the external power supply requirement for
expansion modules.
Auxillary outputs
□ Connect auxiliary outputs to readers and local

warning devices
Auxiliary outputs are used for visual and audible signal. They can be activated according to input conditions or events and local
alarms. Auxiliary outputs “READER DOOR 1 to 4 - LED” provide visual feedback of access operation, and auxiliary outputs
“READER DOOR 1 to 4 - BUZ” can activate audible warning devices, such as T-REX or reader buzzer, to signal door alarms.
Tamper protection
□ Install tamper switch on cabinet

A tamper switch must be installed on the unit to detect unauthorized cabinet opening. The normally closed tamper switch
must be connected to the dedicated tamper input, next to the EGND.
Note: The tamper switch is required for a UL listed installation.

Connecting the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller
Connecting the VC-485 or the USB-485 to the RS-485 Bus
□ Connect the RS-485 cable to (COM1) + 485 - and the RS-485 signal ground to the 12 VDC AUX - (negative)
Controllers are linked together through their RS-485 terminals. The maximum communication loop length is 1.2 km (4,000 ft)
using appropriate cabling. The RS-485 communication loop should be wired with Ethernet Category 3 double twisted pair
network cable or better. The RS-485 loop can operate from 1200 to 115200 Bauds under normal conditions. Intermittent
communication problems or erratic operation may require network speed drops to 9600 or 19200 Bauds. Varying the network
speed does not perceptibly change the operation speed of the system.
Note 1: Most installations should be set to 38400 Bauds.
Note 2: Connecting several KT-400 at a single point is not recommended neither are splitters or spider web (star) networks.
Note 3: If the AUX 12 VDC - is already used, the RS-485 signal ground can be connected to the other GND terminals on the KT-
400. The EGND (earth ground) terminal cannot be used for signal ground, only use the GND and AUX 12 VDC - (negative)
terminals for signal ground.
Note 4: There is no end-of-line resistor to install on the RS-485 COM1 terminals on the last KT-400 controller of a loop.
Note 5: If you must make up your own RS-232 cable with a RJ-12 connector, refer to the following diagram for the RJ-12 pin-
out.

Connecting the Master Controller to the Host PC via RS-232
□ Connect RS-232 cable from KT-400 to the PC (maximum length 30 m (100 ft))
If the local master controller is located more than 30 m (100
ft) from the host computer, you must use a VC-485 or USB-
485 interface.
Note 1: The CBLK-10 kit includes 30 m (100 ft) of RS-232

cable with RJ-12 connectors and the 740-1023 (DB9F to RJ-
12) adaptor
Note 2: If you must make up your own RS-232 cable with RJ-
12 connectors, refer to the following diagram for the RJ-12
pin-out.
Connecting over Corporate Network (LAN)

If the master controller is used in a LAN-enabled corporate setting, use the RJ-45 Ethernet port to connect the controller to the
corporate network. This method uses existing wiring for data exchange between EntraPass and the controllers.

Powering the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller
□ Install transformer, if applicable
□ Place battery in cabinet
□ Power up the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller
The KT-400 must be powered by a wire-in transformer.
After you have completed all the necessary steps, you can power up the KT-400. Ensure the controller is connected with a 12V
backup battery PRIOR to connecting the AC power terminal block. Do not wire a live AC connection while the terminal block is
connected to the board. Once powered, check the Heartbeat LED status indicator to determine the communication status and
other vital parameters. Consult Table 1 for Heartbeat LED behavior identifications. If the AC supply is removed, the 12 VDC, 7
Ah backup battery will support normal operation for up to 12 hours, if fully charged. Internal battery verification will cutoff
battery power if the battery voltage level falls below 9.5 Volts.
Note: The KT-400 will not start on battery power alone.
Power shall only be applied to the unit when all connections are completed
and tested and unit is to be mounted and fixed on the wall.

SPI Expansion Port

The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) expansion port on the KT-400 is used to connect expansion modules, in order to add more
inputs and outputs such as relays. The maximum current draw for the SPI expansion port is 500 mA when the 12V AUX
terminals are not used. The 6-pin SPI cable must be connected to the SPI IN of the first module. See Figure 9 and Figure 11 for
examples of interconnection between the KT-400 and expansion modules.
Figure 9: KT-400 Interconnection Examples with Expansion Modules
The number of expansion modules that can be connected to the KT-400 SPI expansion port, without an additional external
power supply, can vary depending how much current is drawn from all the modules in the SPI chain.
Check the following table to calculate the SPI chain current draw:
TOTAL
EXPANSION MODULE QTY OF MODULES X MAXIMUM CURRENT DRAW
CURRENT
______
KT-MOD-REL8 _______ x 330 mA
mA
______
KT-MOD-INP16 _______ x 40 mA
mA
______
KT-MOD-OUT16 _______ x 750 mA
mA
Maximum current draw from KT-400 SPI expansion port when the 12 VDC AUX terminals are not used. - 500 mA
If the total current is between 0 mA and 1850 mA (1.85 Amps), 1 external power supply is required. If the total
current is between 1851 mA and 3700 mA (3.70 Amps), 2 external power supplies are required.

Example of current draw calculation:
1. 15 modules (KT-MOD-OUT16) x 750 mA = 11250 mA

2. 11250 mA - 500 mA (or 0 mA if the 12 VDC AUX of the KT-400 is used) = 10750 mA
3. 10750 mA divided by 1850 mA = 5.8 which means in fact 6 external power supplies 12 VDC, 2 Amps are required.
4. Connect an external power supply at every expansion module where the current draw has reached 1.85 Amps.
5. Make sure the power jumper on the modules is in the correct position when using external power supply(ies).
Important installation rules about expansion modules

Note 1: The maximum current draw must be calculate each time there is a new module added to the SPI chain.
Rule 2: The SPI cable, between the KT-400 and the 1st module or between each modules, cannot exceed 1 m (3 ft). Shielded
wire should only be used in areas with excessive RF noise of electromagnetic interference. Keep in mind that the expansion
modules must be defined in the EntraPass system when they are installed.
Rule 3: There is already 4 relays available on the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller. Don't forget to check the relays number
assignments to prevent redundancy unless it has been planned on purpose.
For more details concerning the expansion modules, refer to the following documents:

Figure 13: KT-400 Factory Default Steps
KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Maintenance Recommendations

Important: Only a service person shall perform the following maintenance recommendations.
The KT-400 includes a lithium CR2032 primary battery (see the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller PCB View on page 6). This
battery must be replaced by a service person ONLY to avoid any risk of explosion. If the lithium battery stops working, please
contact the service person for maintenance if the lithium battery voltage measures below 2.75 VDC. Do not crush, puncture,
open, disassemble or otherwise mechanically interfere with the battery. Do not try to recharge the battery. If you need to
dispose of the PCB and/or the lithium battery, wrap the KT-400 in non-conductive tape. Check with your local authorities for
battery disposal regulations.
Warning: Do not store the batteries in such a way that they come into contact with each other or with any piece of metal.
Explosion or fire may occur. Should fire occur, use only dry chemical fire extinguishers. Do not use water to put out the fire. Do
not heat the batteries. Do not dispose of the batteries or PCB in a fire. Do not disassemble the batteries. Do not apply pressure
to or deform the batteries. Ensure that the above precautions are strictly observed by related departments, including, but not
limited to, production, sales and outside contractors.
Regarding the recommended backup battery 12 VDC / 7 Ah: It is the service person’s responsibility to assure that the disposal
of used batteries is made according to the waste recovery and recycling regulations applicable to the intended market. Use the
recommended battery type ONLY. It is strongly advised to have the following tests performed by service persons ONLY:
1. Biannual test for battery:
Remove AC power from the controller and let it work on battery backup power for 30 minutes. This test will ensure that in the
event of a power failure, the battery will be able to support normal operations. This test should be performed twice a year.
Once the test has been performed successfully, reconnect AC power to the controller.
2. Annual test for emergency lithium battery:
Measure voltage of lithium battery when power is totally removed from the controller (AC, DC and backup battery power). To
ensure maximum operation and to prevent loss of the database, contact your KT-400 distributor to return the controller for
maintenance if the lithium battery voltage measures below 2.75 VDC.

l Environmental Class 2, Equipment Class Fixed

l IP Class 30
l IK Rating 04
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is capable to meet the EN50131-1 requirements after programming the right
parameters as follows:
l For a system using memorised information the applicable parameters (“Invalid attempts before keypad disabled” and
“Keypad disabled duration”) shall be set to 5 sequential entries of incorrect information along with an access blocking
period of minimum 5 minutes afterwards (applicable to recognition class 1).
l For a system using a combination of tokens or biometric and memorized information, the applicable parameters
(“Invalid attempts before keypad disabled”) shall be set to maximum 5 sequential entries of incorrect information
before an alert is generated at the monitoring console (applicable to recognition class 3).
l The applicable parameter (“Relock on access”) shall be set so that the access interface control output is reset when
the preset release time has expired or when the APAS is opened.
l The applicable parameter (“Input response time”) for maximum delay time between the occurrence of an event and
the annunciation of this event shall be set so that the alert is received at the monitoing console in less than 10 seconds
for the worst case configuration of the access control system. Please refer to the appropriate section in the EntraPass
reference manual.
l Alerts annunciation at the monitoring console (EntraPass) shall be programmed to occur when a tamper condition is
generated, an access point is opened without granted access or if the access point remains open longer than the
allowed period of time.

l The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller shall be used in conjunction with EntraPass in order to be able to annunciate
these events for all recognition classes. All these events are displayed immediately in the Global Edition of EntraPass
software (within less than 10 seconds from the time the event is received).
l When the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is using a combination of tokens or biometric and memorized
information (recognition class 3), it shall be programmed so that it will give an alert after a maximum of 5 sequential
entries of invalid memorized information with the same token or biometric. The alert shall be received at the
monitoring console in less than 10 seconds.
l Recognition class 2 and 3 shall use only access point readers for which the false acceptance rate is less than 0.01% and
the false rejection rate is less than 1%.
l The memorized information (PIN) used in conjunction with the token or biometric (recognition class 2 and 3) shall have
a minimum number of differs of 10 000. The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is using 5 or 6 digit codes as PIN
numbers. Please refer to page 232 of the EntraPass Reference Manual. For recognition class 3, only 6 digits PIN
numbers shall be used.
l Tokens with coding systems visible to the unaided human eye and therefore usually easy to duplicate under condition
of normal use shall not be used. When the token is marked with an identity number, it shall not be a direct
representation of the entire coding borne by the token.
l KT-MPD-INP16 and KT-MOD-OUT16 modules, when used in conjunction with KT-400 Access Control Unit, shall be
installed in the same enclosure with the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller or in separate additional KT enclosure.
When installed in separarate KT enclosures, these enclosures shall be provided each with a tamper detection switch.
l Connect tamper wiring to one available input on the KT-MOD-INP16 module and program the corresponding input
using the EntraPass software: "Devices/Input" as a label "Tamper" input that is programmed in 'Event parameters" to
act as an alert when activated. Please refer to page 110 of the EntraPass Reference Manual for programming
instructions.
l The output on the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller that is intended to be used with a door lock shall be used in
conjunction with a separately energized relay in order to provide 30VA galvanic isolation. The output shall be
programmed using the EntraPass software to activate when an authorized access has been granted to the respective
access point.
l All access granted events shall be annunciated at the monitoring console using the EntraPass software ("Access
granted") in conjunction with the access granted annunciation at the monitoring console, the following conditions shall
also be programmed to be annunciated by the EntraPass software:
l the access point is opened and closed; ("Door closed/normal condition")
l permitted APAS release time has expired without the access point being opened; ("Time out on access
granted")
l the access point has remained open and the allowed APAS open time period has expired ("Door open too
long").
