A-1. WALL INSTALLATION
A-1.1 Please place the template (located in the middle of this
manual) on mounting surface to ensure that there are no
obstructions; this allows the keypad housing to be moved up,
then in and down onto the base plate. Mark and drill four holes
for wood screws, wall anchors, or masonry screws and a
1⁄2" diameter cable hole. Remove the template.
A-1.2 Thread the cable from the back of the Outside Housing,
through the large hole in the Shim and into the hole in
the wall. Remove the two security screws from the bottom of
the Backplate & Gasket using the small wrench provided in the
bag. Slide the back down about one inch while pulling it away
from the housing.
A-1.3 Position Shim, Gasket & Backplate and fasten with #10 Flat
Head screws in the four large holes or with two #6 Flat Head
screws in the two smaller holes or any combination of each.
A minimum of two #6 screws is recommended.
A-1.4 Push all excess cable into the wall. Hold the top of the Outside
Housing about one inch above the top of the Baseplate that is
now screwed to the wall and push until the Gasket is flush with
the back edges of the Outside Housing. Now push in and down
until the bottom of the Baseplate and the bottom of the
Outside Housing are flush. Use the wrench provided to replace
the security screws.

A-2. GANG BOX INSTALLATION
A-2.1 Mount Gang Box on the wall referring to the Template to
insure clearance above the box. This allows the Keypad
Housing to be moved up, then in and down onto the Baseplate.
Mark and drill holes for wood screws, wall anchors, or masonry
screws and a 1⁄2" diameter cable hole.
A-2.2 Thread the cable from the back of the Outside Housing
through the large hole in the Shim, into the hole in the Gang
Box and into the wall. Remove the two security screws from
the bottom of the Backplate & Gasket using the small wrench
provided in the bag. Slide the back down about one inch while
pushing it away from the housing.
A-2.3 Position the Backplate & Gasket, sandwiching the Shim against
the Gang Box and fasten the Backplate & Gasket with #6 Flat
Head screws into the two smaller holes that line up with the
holes in the Gang Box.
A-2.4 Push all excess cable into the wall conduit. Hold the top of the
Outside Housing about one inch above the top of the Base-
plate that is now screwed to the Gang Box and push until the
Gasket is flush with the back edges of the Outside Housing.
Now push in and down until the bottom of the Baseplate and
the bottom of the Outside Housing are flush. Use the wrench
provided to replace the security screws.

C. COMPONENT WIRING CONNECTIONS
C-1 Installation of this system is really quite simple. The door
controller is interfaced to the device that permits access to
the door which typically provides support for either a
magnetic lock or electric strike, along with inputs for remote
exit (RE) and Fire alarm access.
B. SYSTEM COMPONENTS
B-1 Kaba’s E-Plex Stand-Alone Access Controller consists of the
Access Control Unit (ACU) and the Power Interface Unit (PIU).
It is typically used in conjunction with an off-the shelf door
controller or power extender (not included) connected to
either a magnetic lock or electric strike for securing doors or
a parking gate for access control of parking areas. The door
controller which must have battery back-up (manufactured by
Securitron, Altronix, and others) is typically mounted on the
inside wall next to the door or up in a drop ceiling for control
of the door through interface with the magnetic lock or
electric strike.

C-2 The PIU requires a four (4) wire interface from the door
controller. Two wires provide +12 or +24 VDC to the power
interface unit and two wires support normally open (N.O.),
or normally closed (N.C.) CONTACT closure from the power
interface unit. (See Figure 1 below) The CONTACT closure
is factory set to normally open (N.O.), but may be changed
to normally closed (N.C.) by moving the jumper on J11 from
2->3 to 1->2. (See Figure 3)
C-3 For applications such as handicapped entrances, vestibules,
etc., two ACUs may be used with one PIU. Each ACU requires
an eight wire connection using the screw terminals on the
interface board assembly inside the PIU enclosure. Each of
the two ACU’s wires are commoned (connected together at
the terminal) except the BLUE and GREEN wires of the second
ACU which are connected to J12 and are marked on the PIU.
On the opposite end, the eight wires are expanded inside each
ACU with the 1.5 feet of cable for ease of installation in most
door installations. (See Figure 2)

C-4 Each of the wire colors is labeled on the PIU’s interface board
assembly next to the connector J9 (See Figure 2). The standard
cable length is 1.5 feet. Typical installation will have Kaba’s ACU
mounted on the unsecured side of the wall next to the door
controlled. The door controller, and Kaba’s PIU are mounted on
the secure side of the door. The ACU is designed to be mounted
directly onto different types of wall surfaces or on a single gang
electrical box.

D. TAMPER AND SECURITY FEATURES
D-1 Kaba’s Stand-Alone Access Controller has features built in that
can provide an extra layer of security to the installation. The
Shim Plate installed between the ACU and mounting surface
has a bump that extends through a hole in the Backplate. This
bump depresses a security switch in the controller to indicate
that the installation is secure. If the ACU is opened, vandalized,
or removed from the surface it is mounted to, the switch will
trigger a disarming of the lock. If tampering is detected by
the ACU, the lights at the top of the unit will glow blue until
the unit is reset. The ACU must be returned to the secure status
by pressing the reset button SW4 on the PIU (See Figure 2)
to restore the door access and operation. Since the reset
occurs at the PIU, which is on the secure side of the door,
another point of access must be available to the secure area.
Another method to deal with this is to use a remote reset placed
appropriately. A remote reset is afforded by connection to J13.
This tamper sensing feature may be disabled by turning off the
bottom switch on SW8. (See Figure 3)
D-2 Another feature of this lock is the SHUNT circuit. SW7 allows
selection of one of four switches to control the duration of the
Shunt. A SHUNT is typically used to indicate a valid access to
a central alarm system. Different alarm systems require
different period closures for this purpose and therefore the
selections are 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 second duration. Only
ONE switch may be selected. This SHUNT period is also part of
the overall period selected for opening. If the SHUNT period
is one second, and the period for opening is three seconds, the
opening will only last 2 seconds. The door remains secure until
the end of the SHUNT period. The SHUNT closure is factory set
to normally open (N.O.), but may be changed by moving
the jumper on J10 from 1->2 to 2->3. This will make the
SHUNT normally closed (N.C.). (See Figure 3)
D-3 The lock may be tested by using the two switches SW5 & SW6
after installation is complete. Sw5 will open the lock and leave
it open until SW6 is pressed, which closes the lock. (See Figure 2)

E. SOFTWARE SETTINGS
E-1 When configuring the E5070 series SAC using the optional Standard
Software, choose the check-box or setting that contains “Entry Lock
with Passage (Cylindrical or Mortise without Deadbolt)” during lock
setup in the software.
E-2 When configuring the E5270/5770 series SAC using the mandatory
ACS Software, select the “Cylindrical or Mortise without Deadbolt”
check-box or setting during lock setup in the software.
F. HARD RESET PROCEDURE
F-1 A hard reset may be necessary if the master code for the lock is
lost. A hard reset erases all user codes including the master user
and all lock parameters go back to factory default. See the
Operations Manual for information on other types of resets that
can be performed at the ACU’s keypad. This procedure requires two
people within hearing range of each other to verify the sequence
below. One person must have access to the Lock Interface board
assembly inside the PIU enclosure on the secure side and another
person must be located at the ACU unit on the non-secure side of
the door.
Steps 2, 3, and 4 below must be completed within 5 seconds
1. Person 1: Unlock and open cover to PIU unit
2. Person 1: Slide the TOP switch of SW8 on the PIU’s Lock
Interface board to ON (See Figure 3)
3. Person 2: Press the # key on the ACU’s keypad within
5 seconds
4. Person 1: Slide the TOP switch of SW8 on the PIU’s Lock
Interface board to OFF and close cover on PIU unit
5. Person 2: Observe Green and Red LEDs flashing on ACU
6. Person 2: Press 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 on Keypad, then press #
7. The ACU is now in Factory Default Setup
