Kantech device can be located within the same LAN or in a remote location over the internet. Refer to the procedure
“Configuring the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller with the KT-Finder” on page 33 for further details.

Four Onboard 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

• 1 10/100Base-T Ethernet for network connection with the EntraPass Gateway

• 1 RS-232 (COM3) for direct connection to the EntraPass Gateway and RS-485 communication with KT-100, KT-200,
KT-300 and KT-400

• 1 RS-485 (COM1) for RS-485 communication between the EntraPass Gateway and the KT-100, KT-200, KT-300 and
KT-400

• 1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port for expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8 (8-Relay Outputs), the KT­MOD-INP16 (16-Input) and the KT-MOD-OUT16 (16-Output)

IP Connectivity

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, when used with EntraPass Special Edition or a Corporate 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.

• 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 prev ents any hacking from the internet and ensures secure
communications when used over the internet on a wide area network (WAN).

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.

• Arming / Disarming Request

• Postpone Arming Request

• Tamper switch input: The tamper switch is a non-programmable 'Fixed-Function' input. It is used to identify tampering of
the KT-400 cabinet.

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Manual

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

• For North America: AC transformer 120 VAC 60 Hz IN; 16 VAC, 75 VA OUT; class 2 (not included)

• One battery 12 VDC, 7 Ah (not included)

• Ground clamp (not included)

A visual inspection should be made when unpacking th e KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Con troller . Any missing item/p art or
damaged component should be reported immediately.

Physical Installa tion

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 loca tion 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 f t) from telepho ne
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 Ethe rnet Four-Door Controller can easily be accessed for servicing
in case of malfunction.

Earth Grounding

AWG #18 grounding wire to EGND

Since the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller 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 with ground loops). The ground clamp shou ld be locate d below any
other ground.

Door Locking Devices

Connect the door lock device to + and LK1-, (+ and LK2 -),

(+ and LK3- ) or (+ and LK4-)

Note: If you need additional 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

1 Amp for KT-400 at 12 to 13.75 VDC, or

When jumper JP4 is on EXT, the total maximum current draw is

3 Amps at 12 to 28 VDC

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 d oors locking device output s can
operate DC powered locking devices such as electromechani cal strikes and can be con figured to operate fail-sa fe or fail­secure (normal or reverse action).

Note: Use 1 K ohm EOL (End-of-Line resistor) between + and LK- terminals if not used.

DN1726-0811

19

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 co ntrolled 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. U p to 4 readers can be conne cted to a KT-400. They can be inst alled
on one door to control both entry and exit or on four separate doors operating independently to control one-way 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.

DN1726-0811

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller 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.

• The KT-MOD-OUT16 module provides 16 outputs at a maximum of
750 mA per output.

• 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 24 for additional details
concerning the external power supply requirement for
expansion modules.

Auxiliary 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.

T amper 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 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 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 cant be used for signal ground, only use the GND and 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.

DN1726-0811

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Manual

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, u se 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 120 VAC IN / 16 VAC, 75 VA OUT, class 2 transformer
Place battery in cabinet
Power up the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller

The KT-400 must be powered by a 16 VAC, 75 VA class 2 wire-in or plug-in transformer.
After you have completed all the necessary steps, you can power up the KT-400. 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 Table 1 for VITAL 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 should only be applied to the unit when all connections are completed and
tested.

DN1726-0811

23

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 exp ansion 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:

Expansion Module Qty of modules x Maximum current draw Total

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 supply 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 suppli es 12 VDC, 2 Amps are requi red.

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).

DN1726-0811

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Manual

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.

Default initialization

The KT-400 default initialization or Factory Default DHCP is done at Kantech. The following steps should only be

followed if:
a) You want to configure the KT-400 with the KT-Finder, see page 33.
b) The KT-400 was communicating via the RS-232 port and you have installed a VC-485 or USB-485 to communicate via

the RS-485 port.

c) The KT-400 was communicating via a VC-485 or a USB-485 interface and you want to communicate directly with the

serial (RS-232) port.

d) You are using a KT-400 from another site and there is no communication.

How to reset the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller for Factory Default DHCP mode

Before you start:

• Locate the reset button, the two jumpers JP2 - JP3 and the blue VITAL LED.

• The Ethernet cable must be connected to the corporate network. The green LINK LED should lit and the yellow

TXRX LED should be flashing.

• The blue VITAL LED should be flashing.

1. Remove JP2 and JP3 jumpers as described in Table 3 for Factory Default DHCP mode.

2. Press the reset button.

3. Check the blue VITAL LED heartbeat pattern.

4. Verify the IP address with the KT-Finder, see page 33.

5. Put back JP2 and JP3 jumpers.

6. Configure the KT-400 with the KT-Finder, see page 33.

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Manual

KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Maintenance Recommendations

The KT-400 includes a lithium ion rechargable battery (see the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller PCB View on

page 8). This battery must be replaced by a Kantech technician to avoid any risk of explosion. If the Lithium-Ion battery

stops working, return the circuit board to Kantech. Do not crush, puncture, open, disassemble or othe rwise 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

ion 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 circuit board in a fire. Do not disassemb le 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 12 VDC / 7 Ah: 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 applicable to the intended

market. Use the recommended battery type ONLY.

It is highly recommended to test the KT-400 by performing the following tests:

1) Bi-annual test for battery:

Remove AC power from the controller and let it work on battery power fo r one hou r. This test will ensu re 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 ion battery:

Measure voltage of lithium ion 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 distributor to return the KT-400

for maintenance if the lithium ion battery voltage measures below 2.5 VDC.
