1. Features
The Model 3.5 Remote Access Controller System is designed to activate electrical locking or control
devices where a stand-alone electronic lock is not practical. This system can control any door or access
point from up to 500 feet (150 m) away. The KIM Swipe Reader Assembly can be mounted directly on door
frames as narrow as 2 inches (5.1 cm).
• Guest common area configuration: single relay and multiple relay (8–relay version)
• Variable access delay
• Hotel ID reinitialization feature
• Power failure 3-day auto-recovery—real time clock (RTC)
• Simple serial programming & auditing
• Relay bypassing (passage function)
• Status LEDs feedback
• Ingress and egress access control with dual reader configuration
2. Control Panel Location
Place each control panel in the system as close as possible to the devices it will be powering. The tem-
perature in the chosen location should be 32ºF to 120ºF (0ºC to 49ºC). The supply in the panel will need
unswitched AC power from a junction box. The source of AC power should be protected against short-cir-
cuits or over-current by a circuit breaker capable of disconnecting power from the panel. Do not use a cord
and wall outlets. The control panel should be securely screwed to the wall using the four mounting holes.
If possible, the control panel should be mounted at a workable height with clearance to open the door com-
pletely.
Notes: • Access to control panel is restricted to service personnel only.
• A certified electrician must connect the AC power to the Control Panel in
accordance with applicable local standards. Kaba Ilco is not responsible for
any damages caused by non-certified electricians.
3. System Installation
3.1 System Installation Overview
The configuration of the system may include an electric strike
and/or magnetic lock as shown in the diagram at right. Perform
the steps on page 2 to install the components you require, and
observe carefully the following notes.
Notes: • Use 18 AWG stranded shielded cabling for
connections to the electromagnetic lock or
electric strike.
• For SINGLE Reader Installation, refer to Figure 1
on page 4.
• For DUAL Reader Installation, refer to Figure 2
on page 5.
The Model 3.5 Dual Reader RAC provides egress/ ingress
(exit/entry) access control that can be programmed with

1. Shut off the electrical power to the AC line to be connected to the control panel.
2. Set AC input switch S1 on the Power Supply (C) for the electrical voltage used in your country. North
American applications require 115VAC, 60Hz; European applications require 230VAC, 50Hz. Insert
appropriate fuse in F1 fuse clips:for North America, use 600mA, 5mm fuse, fast blow. For Europe,
use 315mA, 5mm fuse, fast blow.
3. Install the control panel in the desired location, using the Installation Kit.
4. Install the KIM Swipe Reader Assembly (B) in the desired location. Refer to appropriate fitting
instructions for chrome reader or black reader, in Section 3.3 on page 3. A Dual Reader installa-
tion has one Egress (exit) reader (B1) and one Ingress (entry) reader (B2).
5. Connect the AC line to terminal TB1 on the Power Supply (C) (see Table 5 on page 6).
6. Connect the shielded cable from the KIM Swipe Reader Assembly (B) to terminal block JP3 on the
Controller (A). For connections, see Table 1. For Dual Reader installations, connect the Egress
reader (B1) to Controller #1 (A1) and the Ingress reader (B2) to Controller #2 (A2).
7. If the Control Panel is not being interfaced to a fire alarm panel, go to step 8. Remove the jumper
from terminal TB5 on the Power Supply (C) and complete the fire panel installation.
8. If an additional Remote Programming Interface (D) is not being installed, go to step 9. Run a twisted
2 pair stranded conductor, 22 AWG shielded cable from the Remote Programming Interface (D) to
terminal block J4 on the Controller (A). For connections, see Table 2. For Dual Reader installations,
connect the Remote Programming Interface (RPI) (D) to Controller #1 (A1).
9. Install the 2 conductor 18 AWG shielded cable from the control panel to the location of the electric
strike (G) or electromagnetic lock (E).
10.
Connect the cable shield to the chassis ground connection at terminal TB6 on the Power Supply (C).
11. Install the diode across the terminals of the electromagnetic lock (E) or, using the butt connectors
provided in the Installation Kit, install the diode across the two wires of the electric strike (G). Do not
reverse diode polarity.
Note: This step is not necessary if installing an HES 7000 Series electric strike
or Rutherford Controls 83xx series electromagnetic lock
12. Mount the electric strike (G) or electromagnetic lock (E) in the desired location and connect as per
manufacturers’ instructions.
13. Run a 2 conductor, 22 AWG, stranded cable from the tamper switch to premises alarm system. Using
quick disconnects on tamper switch terminals, connect tamper in series with instant (24hr) zone to
create an audible alarm or trouble signal upon opening the access control panel.
14. Double-check all connections, including the cable shields.
Note: The AC failure contacts, TB3 on the Power Supply (C), are dry relay out-
puts that will change state when the AC power is shut off. If required, this
can be connected to a separate alarm panel. Terminals available are
Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed (30VDC @ 1Amp max).
15. Configure DIP switches S2 on the Controller (A) to the desired relay activation time. See Table 6 and
Figure 3. Do not use CFG #16 because this setting is used only for reinstalling the controller.
For Dual Reader Installations, set the DIP switches on Controller #1 (A1) and Controller #2
(A2).
16. Turn on the AC power. The green LED on the front of the control panel will light. LEDs D26 and D27
will start flashing alternately. See Table 3 for LED descriptions.
17. Position bypass switch S3 on the Controller (A) down for normal mode. When power is supplied to
the unit, the indicator light beside the switch should be OFF for normal mode and ON for bypass
mode.
Note: On the 8-relay configuration, there is one bypass switch per relay on the
expansion board. Set each switch according to whether you wish to
bypass the associated relay.

4. Settings and Operation
4.1. Programming and Auditing
The KIM Swipe Reader keeps an audit trail in memory, recording the identity and time of every valid and
invalid keycard swiped through the reader. When the memory is full, records are retained on a FIFO (First-
In-First-Out) basis.
The controller can be programmed directly on the PCB or via the remote programming interface box.
Steps to Program the RAC:
1. Link the Front Desk Unit to the DB9 connector (J1) in the remote programming interface box, or to
the DB9 connector (programming port P1) on the controller PCB in the control panel. Refer to Figure
1 or Figure 2 for the positions of the J1 and P1 connectors. Refer to Figure 4 or Figure 5 below for
an illustration.
2. For step by step programming instructions, refer to
chapter 5 of the Kaba Ilco Lodging Access Control
System Reference Manual, version 6.5 or higher. Note: When programming the RAC, you do not swipe
the Programming keycard in the reader. Instead, you swipe the Initialization keycard to initiate commu-
nication with the FDU.

4.2 Hotel ID Reinitialization
To reinitialize the Hotel ID code:
1. Set the switches in switch bank S2 to CFG #16.
2. Swipe a new initialization keycard through the swipe reader. The red and green LEDs on the KIM
Swipe Reader will flash in sequence
- red once, green twice.
3. Wait for the LEDs to flash as described, then set the DIP switch positions back to the chosen access
delay setting.
4.3 Battery Replacement (KABA ILCO Part #120-507947)
Warning: The power supply uses high voltage; only a qualified person
should replace the battery.
1. Prior to replacing the battery, write down the color and location of each wire and the orientation of the
batteries.
2. Disconnect all wires.
3. While holding the battery in place, remove both screws holding the retaining bracket.
4. Replace battery with the same type gelled lead acid cell 12 V, 7.0 AH (Ampere-hours). Put the new
battery in the same position, install the retaining bracket and reconnect all the wires. Dispose of the
old battery according to local regulations.
Note: For preventative maintenance, back-up batteries should be replaced every 2 to
3 years, and tested every 6 months by removing main AC power.
4.4 Power Failure
In the event of an electrical failure, the system will revert to standby status for a period of 4 hours (if the
optional battery is installed). If the electrical power is restored within three days, the system will recover
automatically and should require no additional programming. Verify the status of the LED D18 on the con-
troller PCB in question. If the LED is OFF, swipe an initialization or start-up card through the reader and
reset the lock time to ensure that the controller will function properly. See Table 3 on page 5 for Status LED
definitions.
4.5 Loading Recommendations
Caution: Do not exceed the load limitations of the control panel.
The maximum recommended load for all output relays in the card reader control panel is 1 Amp at 30 VDC.
The tamper switch rating is 1 Amp for 115VAC and 0.5 Amp for 230VAC applications.
4.6 System Deactivation
In order to deactivate the card reader control panel, disconnect both terminals from the standby battery,
then disconnect the AC power either by removing the quick disconnect terminal located at TB1 of the power
supply or by shutting off the main breaker switch for the control panel.
