• Software partner
Specialists for connecting the system to the user software by defining
operating and booking sequences, programming the customer applications
and setting the parameters of the devices.
Important!
For reasons of device safety, some of the activities might only be carried out by the
SERVICE PERSON.
Only persons of the groups "Fitter" and "Service technician" have the status of a
SERVICE PERSON according to DIN EN 60950-1:2006.
The device has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the
recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to persons and
cause damage to material property.
Read and observe the following safety instructions, before using the product.
2.1Use as directed
The device or system is only intended for usage as described in chapter ”Product
description.”
Any use beyond the designated use is not according to rules. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damages resulting from improper use. The user/operator is
responsible for any risks associated with non-duly use.
2.2Mounting and Installation
Mounting and installation may only be carried out by the SERVICE PERSON (see
chapter 1 / Addressees).
Installation may only be carried out in places that fulfill climatic and technical
conditions stated by the manufacturer.
Kaba GmbH is not liable for damages resulting from improper handling or incorrect
installation.
2.3Service and Maintenance
Maintenance work / troubleshooting
Only the SERVICE PERSON (see chapter 1 / Addressees) is entitled to remove faults
and carry out the maintenance work.
Reconstruction and modification
Any reconstruction and modification of the device may only be realized by the
SERVICE PERSON (see chapter 1 / Addressees). All reconstructions and modifications
carried out by unauthorized personnel shall render void any liability.
Danger for electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
Improper handling of printed circuit boards or components can cause damages that
lead to complete failures or sporadic errors.
• During installation and repair of the device, the ESD protective measures must
be considered.
The following rules must be considered:
• Wear an ESD wristband when handling electronic components.
Connect the end of the wristband to a discharge socket or an unvarnished
grounded metal component. This way, static charges are discharged from
your body securely and effectively.
• Touch only the edges of circuit boards. Do not touch the circuit board nor the
connector.
• Place all dismantled components on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic
container.
• Avoid contact between circuit boards and clothing. The wristband only
protects the printed circuit boards against electrostatic discharge from your
body, but there is still a risk of damage through electrostatic discharge from
your clothing.
• Transport and dispatch dismantled modules only in electrostatically shielded
protective bags.
The Kaba compact reader 91 04 has been designed as subterminal for use at a time
and attendance terminal or an access control manager.
The Kaba compact reader 91 04 is installed in an ergonomically suitable position in
secured areas, e.g., in the access area (door).
The integrated RFID reader allows contact-free reading and writing of RFID media in
MIFARE or LEGIC technology (depending on the version).
Communication with the superior access control system or the time and attendance
terminal is performed in the "Online" operating mode via the RS-485 subpartyline.
Depending on settings of the superior control system Access, IN or OUT booking
operations are possible.
The device has 2 digital inputs that can be used in combination with an access
control, e.g., for door frame contact or door-opener. The built-in relay can be used for
door opening in secure areas.
The compact reader is equipped with a light icon (red/green) and a buzzer for optical
and acoustic signaling.
The compact reader 91 04 is available with the following RFID reader types:
• MIFARE
• LEGIC
3.4.2Design
The device is available in two designs:
• With permanently connected connecting cable (IP66 version).
• With plug-in terminal clamp (IP54 version).
3.5Terminal software
The hardware of the Kaba compact reader 91 04 is used in various Kaba system
solutions. Type of use and functions of the device are determined by the software
used:
This description of the Kaba compact reader 91 04 only refers to the terminal
software for online operation as a subterminal.

Time and attendance terminal Access control manager
The compact reader operates as a subterminal of a superior time and attendance
terminal or an access control system, which control system in the following text.
Data exchange takes place via the RS-485 interface (subpartyline). Communication
takes place via the transmission protocol BPA/9 subset.
Once the subterminal has been switched on, it will be initialized. This process
includes setting the parameters of the reader driver, thus defining the method for
transferring badge data to the entry data record.
The subterminal can be used for Access, IN, or OUT booking operations.
Compact reader
The compact reader itself has no decision-making authority and is to be considered
as a separate operating unit. Once a valid RFID medium (badge) is detected, a
corresponding badge data record will be sent to the control system. The control
system will decide whether a badge is authorized or not and return the respective
commands for signaling (acoustic signal generator and luminous ring) and relay
control to the subterminal.
The built-in relay can be used to trigger the door opener. The inputs may be used for
door monitoring in combination with an access control system.
