consultation of the elevator manufacturer. A technician from the elevator manufacturer
should always be present for installation. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a
switch.
If installing the RAC5 XT in an elevator cage environment, or in proximity to any other equipment that may
generate high levels of electromagnetic interference, follow the installation requirements as indicated in Annex
C to prevent any operational instability.
The Table below outlines Access Control Levels as they pertain to certain Features.

2 Product Description
2.1 Features
The RAC5 XT is designed to operate electrical locking or control devices where a stand-alone electronic lock is
not practical. It provides programmable ingress & egress access control.
The system controls any door or access point up to 1,000 feet (300 m) away when using a contactless reader.
The Contactless Card Reader mounts directly on doorframes as narrow as 2 inches (5.1 cm), while the insert
card reader can only be installed in an elevator panel.
The RAC5 XT is an access control solution that can operate 2 individual card readers, provides multiple relays, a
battery back-up option, and much more as per the feature list below.
