For reasons of device safety, the installation and maintenance operations described
in this document must be carried out only by service persons according to EN
60950-1 (Information technology equipment - Safety).
Service persons are persons having adequate technical training and sufficient experience to be aware of and to minimize the possible risks for themselves or other persons, which may occur when carrying out these operations. The service persons are
responsible for adhering to the instructions given by the manufacturer and to the applicable standards and regulations during execution of their work.
This document is also used as information for persons with the following tasks:
•project planning and implementation
•Commissioning the product within the network
•Connecting the product to the user software by programming customer applica-
•Customer-specific adjustment by setting the parameters of the product
1.3Contents and purpose
The contents is limited to the assembly, installation, start-up, and basic operation of
the hardware.
This product 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 product is only intended for use as described in chapter “Product description”.
Any use beyond that is considered contrary to its designated use. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage resulting from such use. Such use is at the sole risk
of the user/operator.
2.2Mounting and Installation
Mounting and installation may only be carried out by service persons (see chapter 1
“Target group”).
Installation may only be carried out in places that fulfill the climatic and technical
conditions stated by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer 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 “Target group”) is entitled to remove faults
and carry out maintenance work.
Reconstruction and modification
Any alteration or modification to the device may only be performed by the service
person (see chapter 1 “Target group”). Any alteration or modification performed by
unauthorized persons shall render void any liability.
2.4Accessories and spare parts
Accessories and spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified
by the manufacturer. This is guaranteed when using original accessories and spare
parts from Kaba.
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 product, the ESD protective measures 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.

3.1Overview
The Kaba remote reader 91 25 with functional type AM can either control and monitor access control at access points or register coming/leaving bookings for time registration.
Two registration units can be connected to the Kaba remote reader 91 25. The remote reader has two RS-232 interfaces (e.g. for keypads, Hyper X or system-dependent functions) and can be integrated into the Kaba exos access control system. The
remote reader is installed on a DIN rail. Thanks to the separation of the remote reader
and registration units, the remote reader can be installed in a tamper-proof area and
the registration units can be installed in an area that is not tamper-proof.
The door components (locking elements, monitoring contacts) are directly connected to the remote reader. This controls the electric strikes as well as the optical
and acoustic signal transmitters of the registration units. As two registration units can
be connected, one Kaba remote reader 91 25 is sufficient for implementing an on/off
configuration (e.g. turnstile). The remote reader communicates with the host system
via the RS-485 interface. The host system checks the company codes and the user
medium numbers, and activates the access points.
If the communication between the remote reader and the host system is interrupted,
then, with the relevant programming of its offline behavior, the remote reader automatically takes on the tasks of the host system; i.e. authorization checks and door
functions are retained.
The door configuration determines the operating mode of the Remotereader. A detailed description of the door configurations and their operating modes can be
found in the chapter Operating Types and Modes.
3.4Supported RFID Standards with Possible Media Definitions
The following table shows the RFID standards and media definitions supported by
the device.

Firmware mark on the product

4.3System Requirements
•Kabaexos9300 release 4.0.1 and higher
•Kaba access manager 92 00 AM firmware version 3.00 and higher
Further details can be found in the Release Overviews and Release Notes.
The Remote reader 91 25 communicates alternately via the connections 'Ant. A' and
'Ant. B' (toggling) with the connected registration units. This means that the Remote
reader 91 25 cannot communicate with both registration units at the same time. This
results in the following behavior:
•During a longer reading process, the other registration unit is blocked.
•The fields of the two connected registration units do not influence each other.
This means that the two registration units can be installed close together.
•In the case of registration units installed close together, it may be the case that
the medium is read by the two registration units one after the other.
4.5Behavior with Several Media in the Field (Anti-Collision)
The Remote reader 91 25 can recognize several LEGIC advant user media (ISO 14443
A) in the field simultaneously. The Remote reader 91 25 only considers the first user
medium, which corresponds to the search criteria defined in the system. The remaining user media are ignored.
All data for access decisions are saved in the host control device. The authorization
check of a badge and access control are undertaken by the control device.
Functions available before the remote reader is connected to the host system
Standalone access control (without host system); see chapter "Standalone Access
Control without Host System" Commissioning [}6.2]
Access control functions
•Authorization check using badges and temporal authorization incl. verification
•Connection of two separate registration units
•Control of optical and acoustic signal transmitters of the registration units
•Control of electric strikes (doors with electrical blocking elements)
•Support for door opener keys or door handle contacts
•Monitoring of the door status with frame contact, bolt monitoring and door handle contact
•CardLink support: Validation and UID additional recording (only LEGIC)
•Inspection of the functionality even without host system
•Two RS-232 serial interfaces, e.g., for keypads, Hyper X or system-dependent
functions, such as input or issue (only online) of user media numbers
•Hold-open mode, so that, when access is authorized, the door remains open for
as long as the badge remains within range of the antenna (field)
•Monitoring of a tamper switch by integrating the Remotereader into housing
•Signal for authorized access, e.g., for alarm bypass
