Installing the KT-300
Physical Installation
Check for ideal indoor location.
Stay away from electrical or communication devices.
The KT-300 Controller 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 2.2 cm (7/8”) 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”) clear space
around all sides and a minimum of 33 cm (13”) 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 feet) from any high voltage equipment or wiring and from electrical equipment
susceptible of generating electrical interference, at a minimum distance of 1 m (3 feet) from telephone equipment or lines, and at a minimum
of 8 m (25 feet) from any transmitting equipment.
Physical access, using keys, on controlled doors must be provided so that the KT-300 can easily be accessed for servicing in case of
malfunction.
Earth Grounding
AWG#18 grounding wire to EGND.
Since the KT-300 uses high performance communication, proper grounding must be provided to ensure proper operation.
An AWG#18 single conductor copper wire must be used to ground each controller to good earth ground as per the local
electrical code (be careful of ground loops). The ground clamp should be located below any other ground.
It is also recommended that you install an AWG#18 single conductor copper wire between each controller.
Door Locking Devices
Connect door locks to + and LK1- (+ and L2-)Maximum 250mA @ 12 VDC per output
Check for local “magnetic lock” regulations
LK1-, LK2- and + terminals are located on the bottom left to the KT-300 terminal
strip. 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 door 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). Maximum DC current
for each lock output is 250 mA.
NOTE: Use 1K ohm EOL (End-Of-Line resistor) between + and LK- if not used.
This resistor is already included within the controller packaged box (KT300ACC).
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.

DN1315-0707
Hooking Up Inputs
Connect devices to inputs 1 to 8.Resistors (included with KT-300) for all
inputs 5.6K ohm (if selected).
The KT-300 has an on-board capability of
monitoring 8 input points (expandable to 16 if KTPC4108 module is used). Each input is
supervised with or without end-of-line resistors
(5.6K ohm). The maximum distance of one line is
600m (2,000 feet) with AWG#22.
NOTE: Inputs can be defined with: none or one
EOL (End-Of-Line) resistor 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 3 and 4 are automatically reserved
for the second controlled door. The contact is
assigned input 3 and the associated request-toexit detector as input 4. There is no obligation to
follow these rules but this standard convention
facilitates servicing.
KT-300 Door Controller Installation Manual
Readers and Keypads
READER CONNECTION TERMINAL WARNING
Connection 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 2 readers can be connected to a KT-300. They can be installed
on one door to control both entry and exit or on two separate doors
operating independently to control one-way access.
The distance between the readers and the KT-300 controller 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 “OUT DOOR 1 LED & BUZ”
are used for the first door and “OUT DOOR 2 LED & BUZ” are used for
the second door.
The 12 VDC auxiliary power can also be used to power low current
audible devices usually located at the controlled door.
Relay Controlled Outputs
Connect controlled outputs to low voltage devices (25 mA
max).
Add external relays for high voltage devices (optional - Kantech # KT-RM1).
The KT-300 provides two controlled outputs -RL1 & RL2 (open collector to ground-current limited to 25 mA). Use a KT-RM1 (optional) to
switch larger currents or voltages or to supply a dry contact.
Can be expanded up to 16 controlled outputs when using a KT-PC4216 module. This module allows a maximum of 16 outputs and a
maximum of up to 50 mA per output. SInce the KT-300 only supports 500 mA, a power supply module can be used to provide an additional
1 A to the Combus.
NOTE: If you are using a KT-PC4204 in “repower” mode and other KT-PC4216 modules that are assigned as relays 1-16 are also
connected to the same loop, do not use relay 1 of those modules or relay 1 of the KT-300 Door Controller (see the Combus
Repower section for more information).
DN1315-0707
7
Auxiliary Outputs
Connect auxiliary outputs to readers and local warning devices.
Auxiliary outputs are used for visual and audible signals. They can be activated according to schedules, input conditions or events and local
alarms. Auxiliary outputs “OUT DOOR 1 & 2 LED” provide visual feedback of access operation, and auxiliary outputs “OUT DOOR 1 & 2
BUZ” can activate audible warning devices, such as T-REX, to signal door alarms.
Tamper Protection
Install tamper switch on cabinet (Kantech #KT-TAMP).
A tamper switch must be installed on the unit to detect unauthorized cabinet opening.
The normally closed tamper switch is connected to an input (choose an unused input (5 to 8) as tamper input or any other unused inputs on
the KT-PC4108 module (if used)).
NOTE: The tamper switch is required for a UL listed installation.
Connecting the KT-300
Connecting to the RS-485 Bus
Connect RS’485 cable to X1+, X1- and GND.If not using VC-485 or USB-485: connect a 120 ohm end-of-line resistor on the first/last KT-300 (X- & X+).If using VC-485 or USB-485: connect a 120 ohm end-of-line resistor on the last KT-300 only (X- & X+).
Controllers are linked together through their RS-485 connectors. The maximum communication loop length is 1.2 kilometers (4,000 feet)
using appropriate cabling. Connecting several KT-300 controllers at a single point is not acceptable nor are splitters or “spider web
networks.”
The RS-485 communication loop should be wired with Ethernet Category 3 double twisted pair network cable (see cable specifications
Belden 1227A, or equivalent). The RS-485 loop can operate from 1,200 to 115,200 bauds under normal conditions.
Intermittent communication problems or erratic operation may require network speed drops to 9,600 or 19,200 Bauds. Varying the network
speed does not perceptibly change the operation speed of the system. Usually, most installations should be set to 19,200 Bauds.
Important:
•Without a VC-485 or USB-485: Connect a 120 ohm end-of-line resistor between terminals X1- and X1+ of the first and last KT-
300.
•With a VC-485 or USB-485: connect a 120 ohm end-of-line resistor between terminals X1- and X1+ of the last KT -300. No need
to connect on the first KT-300 since the VC-485 contains an end-of-line resistor.
NOTE: To learn more about USB-485 wiring, refer to the USB-485 Installation Sheet, DN1482.

KT-300 Door Controller Installation Manual
Connecting the Master Controller to the Host
PC
Connect flat cable from KT-300 to the PC.
From 0 to 30m (0 to 100 feet) :
If the local master controller is located less than 30m (100
feet) from the host computer, use the on-board RS-232 RJ12
jack and the supplied flat cable.
From 30m to 60m (100 to 200 feet)
Since the master controller can be located up to 60m (200
feet) from the host computer, an extra 100 feet cable can be
added to the existing cable.
NOTE: If you plan to locate the host PC more than 30m (100
feet) away from the controller, be sure to use a VC485 interface. Otherwise, reduce the communication
speed to a minimum to avoid data loss.
From 60m to 1.2 km (200 to 4,000 feet)
If the master controller is located more than 60m (200 feet),
an optional VC-485 multi-function communication interface
must be used. It can also be used when running a
communication cable in areas unusually high in electrical
noise.
NOTE: The host computer is used to program the KT-300
Controllers.

Over Corporate Network (LAN)
If the master controller is used in a LAN-enabled corporate setting, use TCP/IP-to-RS-232
converter (such as the Kantech IP Link or the Lantronix UDS-1100 communication interface) to
connect the controller to the corporate network. This method uses existing wiring for data
exchange between EntraPass and the controllers. The diagram on the left shows how to connect a
DB-9 to RJ-12 flat cable between the master controller and the converter. Consult Application Note
DN1506 to learn how to set up the communication interface.
For remote sites
If the master controller is used in remote areas,
modems must be used to send and receive access
control data over telephone lines. For this application
Kantech supports US Robotics 56K external
Sportster modems at both ends of the communication
line. As shown on the right, a modem connects to the
master controller only using a DB25 to RJ-12 flat
cable. For dial-up communication settings via
software, refer to your communication settings.

Install 120 / 220VAC / 16VAC, 40 VA, class 2 transformer.
Place battery in cabinet.Power the KT-300 controller.
The KT-300 Controller must be powered by a 16VAC/40VA class 2 wire-in or plug-in
transformer.
After you have completed all the necessary steps, you may power the KT-300 Controller.
Connect AC power and connect the battery. Once powered, check the VITAL LED status
indicator to determine the status of communication and other vital parameters. Consult the
troubleshooting section for VITAL LED behavior identification.
If the AC supply is removed, the 12 Volt 7 A/h led-type 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-300 Controller will not start on battery alone.
NOTE: Power should only be applied to the unit when all connections are completed and
tested.

Introduction to Combus Modules
The Combus terminals on the KT-300 Controller are used to connect expansion modules to add more inputs, outputs, relays and LCD time
and date display. The four Combus terminals of the main panel must be connected to the four Combus terminals or wires of all modules.
Four expansion modules can be connected to KT-300’ s Combus (more specifications on each of these modules can be found later on in this
document.):
The Combus provides 500 mA at 12 Volts (13.85 VDC). The recommended cable is #22
AWG. Each loop (module to KT-300) cannot exceed 300 m (1,000 feet) and the total
maximum cable length of all connected loops cannot exceed 1,200 m (4,000 feet).
For example:
•Only four wireruns at 1,000 feet from the KT-300.
•Only eight wireruns at 500 feet from the KT-300.
•Only ten wireruns at 400 feet from the KT-300
Shielded wire should only be used in areas with excessive RF noise of electromagnetic
interference. Modules can be straight run, connected in a daisy chain or T-tapped anywhere
on the Combus.
Keep in mind that the new modules must be defined in the EntraPass system when they are added to the Combus. Refer to the Controller Definition section in the EntraPass Reference Manual to learn how to assign modules to your system.

DN1315-0707
KT-300 Door Controller Installation Manual
Combus Repower (If Required)
Depending on how many modules are connected to the Combus
and how far they are from the KT-300 controller , you may need to
“repower” the controller’s Combus.
The Combus needs to be “repowered” if the voltage drops below
12.5 Volts between black and red wires of the last module of each
loop (the modules will still operate but there will be no
communication between the modules and the controller and a
“Combus module defect” event will be generated from the
controller). This voltage drops if modules are drawing too much
current (500mA maximum for the Combus of each KT-300).
Verify this voltage with a multi meter , and determine if you need to
install a KT-PC4204 in “repower” mode. Using this configuration,
you will be provided with an additional 1 amp of current on the
controller’s Combus. The KT-PC4204 is generally installed at the
beginning of the loop.
When using the KT-PC4204 in “repower” mode, the first relay of
the module will be reserved for the “repower function”. You will
have to assign an “all valid” schedule to the first relay so it is
“always activated” (refer to the Controller definition section of your
EntraPass User Reference Manual for the exact procedure.)
If you are using a KT-PC4204 in “repower” mode and other KTPC4204 modules that are assigned as relays 1-4 or KT-PC4216 modules that are assigned as relays 1-16 are also connected to the same
loop, do not use relay 1 of those modules or relay 1 of the KT-300 door controller. Please also note that all KT-PC4204 modules that are
used for Combus repower should be assigned as relays 1-4.
NOTE: Jumper 1 “J1” on the KT-PC4204 must be moved to the Combus relay position.
NOTE: Do not use any power supply other than the KT-PC4204 to repower the Combus. In the event of a power surge or transient, a
module may lock up and cease to communicate with the controller. If the KT-300 loses communication with the module, it will
initiate a module reset and will power down the Combus for five seconds in an attempt to reset the problem module. After five
seconds, the controller will reapply power to the Combus and the problem module should begin to operate as intended.

Troubleshooting Communication Problems
Default Initialization
The KT-300 default initialization is done at Kantech. The following steps should only be followed if:
a You are using a KT-300 from another site and there is no communication;
b The KT-300 was communicating via the RS-232 port and you installed a VC-485 to communicate via the
RS-485 port;
c You were using the KT-300 at a local site and now want to configure it for remote operation.
How to Use the Default Initialization (Hard Reset)
1. Disconnect both transformer and battery.
2. Remove all connection to DOOR1 and RL1 terminals.
3. Place a jumper between the DOOR1 and RL1 terminals.
4. Apply AC power to the transformer. The VITAL LED should flash 4 times. This means that the controller is in the
initialization mode.
5. Remove jumper.
6. The VITAL LED will flash 3 beats at a time as soon as the controller communicates with the PC.
7. Reconnect the battery.

KT-300 Door Controller Installation Manual
KT-300 Controller Maintenance Recommendations
The KT-300 circuit board includes a lithium battery (see the KT-300 Controller Wiring Diagram on page 18). This battery must be replaced
by a Kantech technician to avoid any risk of explosion. If the lithium battery stops working, return the circuit board to Kantech. 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 circuit board and/or the lithium battery, wrap the KT-300 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 circuit board 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 battery 7 A/12 V: It is the end-user and/or installer responsibility to assure that the disposal of used batteries is
made according to the waste recovery and recycling regulations currently applicable in their area. Use the recommended battery type
ONLY.
It is highly recommended to test the KT-300 Controller by performing the following tests:
1) Bi-annual test for battery:
Remove AC power from the controller and connect the battery to the controller for one hour. 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 power). To ensure maximum operation and
prevent loss of power, contact your distributor to return the KT-300 for maintenance if the lithium battery voltage measures below 2.5 VDC.
