Safety Instructions

ONLY SER VICE PERSONEL WILL INSTALL AND MAINTAIN THE KT -300. Service personnel must have appropriate technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other
persons.

The connection to the mains supply must be made as per local authorities rules and regulations: in the UK as per BS6701.
Provide an appropriate disconnect device, as part of the building installation. Where it is not possible to rely on the identification of the

NEUTRAL in the AC MAINS SUPPLY, the disconnecting device must disconnect both poles simultaneously (LINE and NEUTRAL).
If a knockout is removed during installation, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the same degree of protection is provided for the

cabinet by the use of bushings, fittings, etc.
Secure the metal cabinet to the building structure before operation.
Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:

• Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections;

• Loosening of terminal connections;

• Damage of conductor insulation.

The power supply must:

• Be permanently connected, fail safe, with double or reinforced insulation between primary and secondary circuits.

• In EU countries it must meet the applicable requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and protected as per EN60950 requirements.

• In other countries, it must be of approved type acceptable to local authorities.
The ground connection must be provided via the TERMINAL BLOCK at the PE (IEC 60417-5019 symbol) marked connection.
It is the end-user and/or installer’s responsibility to ensure that the disposal of the used batteries is made according to the waste recovery

and recycling regulations currently applicable.
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide protection against a short circuit on the input (bridge rectifier, C2, etc.).

Components Required to Install KT-300

• KT-300 Controller with accessory kit

• AC transformer 120/220 VAC/16 VAC, 40 VA, class 2*

• One 12 volt battery 7 A/h*

• Ground clamp*
A visual inspection should be made when unpacking the KT-300. Any missing item/part or damaged component should be reported

immediately.
*Not included

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. The KT-300 is also
compliant with EN55022:1994, amendment 1:1995, Class B.

CE Compliance Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of EN 50130-4: 1995.
This equipment is designed to be used in an environment that meets a maximum pollution degree of 2 and over voltages category II - NON

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, indoor only. The equipment is FIXED and PERMANENTLY CONNECTED. It must be installed in a metal
cabinet by service personnel only. Service personnel is defined as: Persons having the appropriate technical training and experience
necessary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task.

UL Compliance Notice

To comply with UL listings, the following requirements must be met:

• Use of a UL listed computer

• Use of UL listed readers (Wiegand 26 and 34 bits, mag stripe 26 and 34 bits, have been tested and found to comply)

• Use of a UL recognized tamper switch on every housing cabinet for the KT-300

• Do not use the SmartLink option

• Use the Kantech IP Link Enhanced Ethernet Device

• Us the KT3-LCD module on each KT-300 controller (should be installed near the controller)

• Do not use a 220 V transformer (not UL listed)

• Use only UL listed cables

• Use only UL listed adaptors

• Use only a UL listed transformer such as Kantech TR1640P/UL or DSC PRD1640

• Use Kantech BD7-12 battery

NOTE: Backup battery provides operation of up to 12 hours but has been tested only 4 hours per Section 33 of UL294, fifth edition.
NOTE: All circuits are power limited.

KT-300 Door Controller Installation Manual

Overview

The KT-300 will operate with the EntraPass software

Innovative and Powerful

The Kantech KT-300 Door Controller is designed to meet the highest standards of access control and point monitoring applications.

Downloadable Firmware

The firmware program, stored in the controller’s flash memory, is updated without changing the memory chips. The firmware program can
be uploaded from any EntraPass workstation.

Speed selection - Fast! Up to 115,200 Bauds

The KT-300 automatically detects the site communication speed set by EntraPass.

Trouble and Reporting

The KT-300 constantly supervises battery condition and reports “Low battery” or “No battery” status to the EntraPass system. Power outputs
are supervised and individually protected against short-circuits and surges by self-resetting PTC. Locking devices are also supervised for
short and open circuits.

Built-in Combus Expansion

The KT-300 supports expansion modules to add inputs, outputs and an LCD time and date display for Time & Attendance purposes.
