13KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Guide

Four on-board doors
The KT-400 controller supports four on-board doors. For a description of the PCB, see Figure 1 and
for all of the connection possibilities that the KT-400 controller offers, see Figure 2.
Communication ports
• 10/100Base-T (ETH1) Ethernet for network connection with the EntraPass Gateway
• RS-232 to communicate with EntraPass
• RS-485 (COM1) to communicate with EntraPass or a loop of controllers
• RS-485 (COM2) to communicate between the KT-400 and RS-485 modules
• SPI to communicate with SPI modules
Note: You can connect a loop of KT-200 controllers on the RS-485 of the KT-400 if not mixed
with KT-100, KT-300, or KT-400 controllers.
IP connectivity
Use the KT-400 controller with EntraPass Special Edition or a Multi-Site Gateway to report events,
and to gather the controller's 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 first or local
controller becomes a master controller and can poll up to 31 Kantech controllers. The KT-400
controller is compatible with all the controllers. Unlike the other controllers, the KT-400 controller
asynchronously polls the KT-100, KT-200, or KT-300 controllers and communicates with the
EntraPass Gateway only when necessary. This significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth you
require to operate your security system on the network.
•AES Encryption 128-bit: When you use the KT-400 controller over the internet on a WAN, the
controller uses 128-bit AES encryption to communicate with the gateway.
Inputs
The KT-400 controller has 16 onboard inputs. You can add up to 240 more inputs by using
expansion modules, such as the KT-MOD-INP16 or the KT-MOD-IO16, for a total of 256 inputs. If you
use the KT-MOD-INP16 or the KT-MOD-IO16 module as a double end of line resistor, there is a 128
inputs limitation. You can configure each input for any one of the following applications:
• Door contact (4 onboard)
• T.REX (Request to Exit Detector) (4 onboard)
• Interlock (4 onboard)
• Floor selection for elevator application
• Elevator action
• External alarm system status (Armed/Disarmed)
• External alarm system alarm (Alarm/Secure)
• External alarm system zones
• Relays to trigger on each input in alarm event
• Zone shunt: single or group of zones can be permanently or temporarily shunted to a secure
state on the same controller. The shunt method includes:
- Zone shunt by another zone - when a zone in alarm is programmed to shunt another
zone or group of zones.
KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Guide14

- Zone shunt on unlock - when a zone is temporarily frozen to its actual state (alarm or
secured) after an access is granted.
- Manual shunt - an operator can manually shunt a zone to a secure state.
- Disarmed door shunt - when an 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 or arming the alarm
system and an 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.
Lock outputs
There are 4 onboard lock outputs and they are supervised. The locking function can also be
performed by any onboard relay configured for this functionality.
Relay outputs
There are 4 onboard relay outputs. Up to 256 relay outputs can be supported through the addition
of expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8, KT-MOD-OUT16, and KT-MOD-IO16.
Reader outputs
There are 4 different possible outputs for each of the 4 onboard reader interfaces for a total of
16 programmable outputs. Use reader outputs to give the user visual or audible feedback during
ongoing access events.
Reader interfaces
You can program the 4 onboard reader interfaces for Wiegand, ABA (Clock and Data), or OSDP
readers.
Note: You can connect OSDP readers only to KT-400 controllers using the Linux operating
system version 3.00 or later.
Elevator interface
The KT-400 controller supports elevator interfacing with the addition of expansion modules such as
the KT-MOD-REL8, KT-MOD-INP16 and KT-MOD-OUT16.
Alarm panel interface
The KT-400 controller supports alarm panel interfacing with the appropriate connections made
between zone inputs, relay outputs and the alarm system panel.
Automatic port detection
The KT-400 controller automatically detects the site communication speed set by EntraPass as well
as the communication port which can be IP (ETHERNET #1), RS-485 (COM1) or RS-232 (COM3).
15KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Installation Guide

Downloadable firmware
You can download the latest firmware from any EntraPass workstation to the KT-400 controller
without having to change any controller parts.
Note: For KT-400 Rev.1, you can upgrade the firmware in EntraPass 5.01 and later.
Trouble and reporting
The KT-400 controller constantly supervises AC power and battery condition and reports AC lost,
normal battery, low battery, battery critical, or no battery statuses to EntraPass. Power outputs are
supervised and electronically protected against short-circuits and surges. Locking devices are also
supervised for short and open circuits.
Built-in SPI expansion
You can connect expansion modules to the KT-400 controller to add inputs and outputs, such as
relays and open drain outputs. For more information, see Figure 19 and Figure 23.

KT-MOD-IO16 16-terminal expansion module that you can configure as inputs, outputs, or
elevator outputs. You can use the multi-function unit as input, relay, elevator
floors or SPI connections. With the extended SPI cable, the module allows
flexibility away from the controller. You can have a total of 256 inputs and 256
outputs for each KT-400 controller.
Note: The expansion modules support daisy chaining which can add up to 32 KT-MOD-REL8
modules for a total of 256 external relays for each KT-400 controller. Combining input and
output expansion modules gives the flexibility to connect up to 256 inputs and 256 outputs. For
information about external power supply requirements, see Electrical specifications.
