2Introduction
The requirement for security, control and high levels of flexibility has increased considerably.
This applies in particular to doors with many or frequently changing users such as: interior
access doors, archives, senior residences, server rooms etc… An extension of the mechatronic
systems is necessary to fulfill these requirements.
3Product description
The KESO i-handle S (security) door fitting solution is a mechatronic door set for easy
installation in indoor areas. It is compatible with the entire KEK range and requires
corresponding KEK identification media. Doors fitted with
this system can be opened from the outside assuming the
user presents an authorised access medium (keycard, tag or
KEKcombi key). The handle on the outside engages electro-
mechanically. Without authorisation, the external handle
remains disengaged. Doors can be opened from the inside
without access media at all times. The robust and attractive
fitting, including handle, is typically used for rooms with a
high level of trust, such as office and living accommodation
and archives, and mainly with composite doors.
Authorisation is managed using the KESO Management
Software and transferred to the electronics by means of the
KESO KEK Programmer PPG (V2 with KAPI BUS) or KESO KEK
Programmer USB. This provides a variety of options for
configuring access. The door can be programmed to stay
unlocked during office hours, for instance, or for user groups
who are restricted to a specific time slot. The fitting is
available with cylinder perforation and an additional
mechanical or mechatronic cylinder is fitted for emergency
locking. The reader module supports emergency battery
power at any time, even if the batteries are flat.
3.1 Short description/functional description
The KESO KEK i-handle S is a mechatronic door fitting with an integrated reader for interior use.
The KESO i-handle S is independent of lock and cylinder and can thus be fitted to any popular
door type. The electronics and batteries are located in the protected interior space below the
internal shield. The reader unit and the programming and emergency opening interface (KAPI)
are located above the handle on the external shield. The reader module is activated via a sensor
on the external reader unit and the access medium is read. Door release or blocking is indicated
by means of an optical signal and an acoustic signal. After access has been granted, the external
handle is power engaged and the handle can be actuated. The release time for actuating the
handle is set to 5 seconds by default. However, the configurable actuation time is between 5
and 30 seconds.
KESO i-handle S escutcheons and handles are made of stainless steel (Inox).

4.5 Handle requirements
It is possible to deploy “third-party handles”. These handles are then retained by a special
spring-loaded spindle. If the handle lock is active, the handle freewheels and is thus not
engaged.
IMPORTANT:
The handle itself is held by a spring. This means that the maximum weight of the
individual handle cannot exceed 157 grams.
IMPORTANT:
The handle itself is held by a spring. For this reason the maximum projection of the
handle is not permitted to exceed 140mm.
4.6 Locking cylinder requirements
The KESO KEK i-handle S is designed for use with Euro profile cylinders, Euro-Swiss cylinders and
Swiss round cylinders. The KESO KEK i-handle S can also be used without a locking cylinder.
Please refer to the definition of article number (see item 5) for more details.
