KE-350 Installation and Operations Manual
Introduction
Overview
The KE-350 is a powerful yet easy to use single door, stand-alone access control system
with audit trail capabilities. The KE-350 can accommodate up to 500 individual Users, each
of which is assigned to one of 16 programmable User Groups. Additional features include a
32-day holiday schedule, manual or timed latching capabilities, optional use of Duress
Codes and the ability to automatically adjust Daylight Savings Time.
The KE-350 contains a 24-hour nonvolatile real time clock providing valid computations
through the year 2100. Fully Y2K compliant, the KE-350’s time clock enables access
control management through individual time zones tied to each User Group. The KE-350’s
time clock is also used to provide a time/date stamp for up to 750 transactions, which are
logged in the KE-350’s buffered audit trail. These transactions can easily be retrieved from
a parallel printer connected directly to the KE-350 control module.
Input Requirements
The KE-350 accepts 12 to 24 volts AC/DC. An optional battery charging module and
rechargeable Gel Cells are available to keep the system operational for up to 24 hours
during a power interruption.

KE-350 Installation and Operations Manual
Preparing for Installation
System Components
There are four primary components and one optional component to be installed:
1. The Keypad should be
mounted on the wall adjacent
to the door. It should be on
the same side as the door
strike and about 4 feet above
the floor.
2. The Control Module should
be mounted inside the
building near a power source.
Typically the control module
is hidden in a false ceiling or
closet. The control module
must be located in an
environmentally controlled
area where the temperature
remains between – 40°C and
+49°C (-40°F and 125°F.)
3. The Wiring Cable connects the keypad to the control module. It is important not to locate
the cable adjacent to any wiring that carries line voltage.
Typical Installation
4. The Electric Strike/Other Locking Device(not included) connects to the KE-350’s Main
Relay output via a strike cable (SC). See Appendix A - Typical Wiring Diagrams
5. A Parallel Printer (optional) – connects directly to the KE-350. Although it is not
necessary to have a “dedicated” printer, we suggest connecting a printer cable (PC) to
the KE-350, which leads to a nearby parallel printer. Anytime you need to print anything
from the KE-350, simply connect the printer cable to the printer.

Prepare the Keypad for Installation
There are different procedures for the two Keypad configurations: 12-Pad 3x4 and
Thinline 2x6. Templates for mounting the Keypads are located in Appendix D.
Thinline 2x6
The Thinline 2x6 is designed for mullion mount applications. It can also be mounted on
a wall, pedestal or any flat surface of at least 1 ¾” by 7”. The composition of the
mounting surface will determine the fastening method required:
1. Select a flat surface (1 ¾ ” by 7”) near the door where you wish to install the keypad.
2. Using the Thinline template (located in Appendix D), mark location of holes “A”,” B”
and “C”.
3. Drill the large hole marked “A” using a 1” (25mm) drill bit.
4. Place the connector on the back of the keypad in the large hole to verify that the
keypad mounting holes are aligned with marked holes “B” and “C”. Make
adjustments if necessary.
5. Drill clearance holes “B” and “C” in accordance with fastening method used.
6. Do NOT mount the keypad at this time.
12-Pad 3x4
The 3x4 keypad is designed to mount to a single gang switchbox or on a wall, pedestal
or any flat surface of at least 3 ½ by 5 ¼”. The composition of the mounting surface will
determine the fastening method required:
1. Select a flat surface (3 ½” by 5 ¼”) near the door where you wish to install the

KE-350 Installation and Operations Manual
Prepare the Door Jamb for the Electric Strike
Follow these instructions only if you are using an electric strike to unlock the door. If you are
using the main relay to activate a garage door, automatic gate, etc., skip this section. The
new electric strike should be checked to verify compatibility with existing door hardware prior
to installation.
1. Remove existing strike.
2. Follow directions included with the strike for preparing the doorjamb.
3. Do NOT mount the strike at this time.
Install the Wiring Cable
1. Drill a ½” hole in the inside wall where you want the cable to come through.
2. Pull the cable through the hole so the connector end goes to the keypad. Route it so
there is minimal cable at the keypad.
Note: Supplied with the system is a 6-conductor cable designed to connect the keypad to
the control module. You will also need a three-conductor cable (not included) to connect the
control module to the electric strike or other locking device.
Install the Strike or Electric Locking Device
1. Using a three-conductor cable(not included), attach two wires from the control module
Main Relay Output to the electric locking device. (See Appendix A for typical hookup
configurations.)
2. If you are using an electric strike, attach the third wire to the strike body (i.e. mounting
screw). Connect it to the EARTH GROUND screw terminal on the circuit board (See
Appendix A)
3. Install the electric locking device in accordance with the instructions supplied with the
device.

KE-350 Installation and Operations Manual
Install the Control Module
1. Connect the Wiring Cable to Terminal Strip “A” following the color sequence shown in
Appendix A.
2. The “EARTH GROUND” screw terminal on Terminal Strip “B” should be connected to a
true earth ground for proper system protection.
3. Connect 12 to 24 volts to Terminal Strip “B” to screws marked “12-24V AC/DC IN”.
Install other Switches
There are various options available on the KE-350 as described in the System Programming
Section. Most options are built-in and can be controlled through programming. Some
options, however, require the installation of either a Door Monitor switch or a Remote
Bypass switch.
Door Monitor Switch
The Door Monitor requires a normally closed switch. This may be the switch output of a
latch monitor strike, a monitor maglock or an alarm switch that senses door movement.
When this switch opens, it will relock the door (anti-tailgating).
Note: If a door monitor switch is NOT used, you must have the wire between DOOR
MONITOR and GROUND.
If the 2nd Relay is configured in the:
• Internal Alarm Mode, this switch will provide a door ajar input.
In addition, if the 3rd Relay is configured as a:
• CCTV/Light, this switch will trigger the output to turn on this device for the programmed
time.
For wiring a Door Monitor Switch, refer to Appendix A.
Remote Bypass Switch
The Remote Bypass requires a normally open switch. This switch allows the door to be
opened from a remote area such as a security station or reception desk.
For wiring a Remote Bypass Switch, refer to Appendix A.
