INTRODUCTION
The Radio Key®RK-65K is a programmable single-door access
control system which controls access for up to 65,000 users. It
can control an electric strike, magnetic lock, or gate operator,
and has an additional programmable input which may be set
as a remote open input or as an LED/Beeper control for use
with the Wiegand output. A Wiegand output is also provided to
allow for later upgrading to an on line system. Information on
using the RK-65K as a Wiegand reader is contained on page 18
The major components are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The Radio Key
®
RK-65K Access Control Unit contains the CPU,
memory, access relay, and an internal reader. It has a beeper, and
a bi-color LED indicator. An RK-HHP Handheld Programmer or an
RK-PD1 Program Deck (not included), is used to add or delete tran-
sponders, to set the operating mode, to program the password and
latch timer. The Radio Key
®
RK-65K is compatible with the Secura
Key SecuRelay™, an intelligent relay module used to eliminate the
possibility of break-in by attacking the access control unit.
The current version of this product also replaces the RK100M.
The RK100M reads randomly encoded tags and supports only
100 users. To convert this unit to RK100M mode, follow the
instructions on Page 21.

ORDERING TRANSPONDERS
The Radio Key®RK-65K works with Secura Key RKCM-02
molded (clamshell) cards, RKCI-02 ISO-standard cards and
RKKT-02 key ring tags. Card Format 303 and Format 201
can be used.
When you order Format 303 transponders for a new project you
will be assigned a new Facility Code and your transponders will
begin with ID number 1. As you need additional cards or tags
you can order the same Facility Code, specifying the starting
number, which will be one digit higher than your highest existing
transponder.
If you use Format 201, these are shipped from stock and you
may receive cards or tags with a different Facility Code than you
originally programmed into the reader. The RK-65K can learn
up to 10 different Facility Codes. If it becomes necessary to mix
transponders with more than one Facility Code in the same reader,
be sure that the transponder ID numbers are not duplicated.
NOTE: RKxx-01 cards or keytags will not work for the
RK65K. The LED will flash amber to let you
know it is the wrong type of card.

PROGRAMMING RADIO KEY®RK-65K
When the RK-65K is first powered up, the LED will be flashing
Red and Green. Present a card to the unit to set the Facility
Code and the flashing will end in approximately 10 seconds.
Radio Key Transponders (Key tags and cards) are pre-encoded
and engraved at the factory with a Facility (Site) Code and an
individual card ID number.
You must teach the RK-65K which Facility Code or Codes
(up to 10) it should recognize. You must also enroll the card
ID numbers that will be Valid. The Radio Key®cards and tags
are sequentially numbered, so you can validate a block of
transponders.
Be sure to make a record of each person who is issued a
transponder along with the ID number of their card or tag.

Radio Key®RK-65K Operating Guide
Secura Key 5
PROGRAMMING RADIO KEY®100M
Radio Key®Transponders (Key Tags and Cards) are pre-en-
coded and engraved at the factory with unique Transponder ID
numbers. Because these numbers are unique, Facility Codes
(Site Codes) are not required.
Transponder ID Numbers are not pre-programmed into the Radio
Key®100M; you must add them to the system as described below.
Radio Key®100M allows you to assign a Transponder to each
User ID Number (1 - 100) for programming purposes. The
User ID Number is associated with the individual person using
the transponder.
Be sure to record the User ID Number, the Transponder
ID Number and the user’s name, and keep this informa-
tion in a secure place. A blank User Log Form has been
included for this purpose. Do not write on this form; use it as
a photocopy master.
Because a new Transponder ID Number can be assigned to
any available User ID Number, the reader always has capac-
ity to store 100 Transponders, even after many Transponders
have been voided from the reader.

THE RK-HHP HANDHELD PROGRAMMER AND THE
RK-PD1 PROGRAM DECK
Note: The RK-PD1 or the RK-HHP is required to program
the reader. One RK-PD1 or RK-HHP may be used on
several readers.
The RK-PD1 consists of the 16 following cards:
ENTER “7” SEVEN
“0” ZERO “8” EIGHT
“1” ONE “9” NINE
“2” TWO “ ” THRU
“3” THREE “ ” VALID
“4” FOUR “ ” VOID
“5” FIVE SET TIMER
“6” SIX MODE
Presenting these cards to the Radio Key®RK-65K is equivalent
to pressing the identically marked keys on the RK-HHP hand-
held programmer. As you present program cards to the unit, it
will chirp to indicate that it has read the card. The next sections
of this manual explain the program card sequences used to
perform the various program functions.

PROGRAMMING STEPS
To program the Radio Key®RK-65K, you must first enter the
program mode as described in the next section below. Once in
the program mode, the LED will blink amber as an indicator. To
take the unit out of program mode you may select an operating
mode (see page14) or simply allow 15 seconds to elapse without
presenting a program card to the reader.
After you have completed a proper program sequence, the
unit will beep and the LED will flash green to indicate that the
program instruction has been accepted. A red light and a beep
at the end of a programming sequence means that you have
made an error. Refer to the appropriate section, and carefully
re-enter the command in the proper sequence.
NOTE: User ID Number and ID Number Values in
the following examples are for demonstration
purposes only; enter the appropriate values for
your system.

Lost or forgotten Password (RK65K/RK100M)
If the password is lost or forgotten, it can be restored to the
factory default (12345). Remove the Radio Key®RK-65K
unit from the wall and disconnect power. With the Data 1 line
(white wire) temporarily connected to the Remote open line
(brown wire), restore power. The factory default (12345) is
now in effect. The LED will flash alternately Red and Green.
While this is occurring, set the Facility Code or Codes in the
reader (see below). Remove power and reconnect the unit for
operation, restore power and remount the unit. This procedure
will NOT delete any transponders from reader’s memory.
Setting Facility Code(s) (RK65K)
Before any cards are added to the RK-65K you must set the
Facility Code or Codes. When a new reader is first powered
up the LED should be flashing alternately Red and Green. This
indicates that the unit is in the “Learn Facility Code” mode.

(SET TIMER) (ENTER)
(2 Hours, 45 Minutes) (THRU)
For longer latch times it may be easier to set the timer with hour:
minute notation. Press SET TIMER; then press the sequence of
digits representing the number of hours (2 digits); then press the
sequence of digits representing the number of minutes; then press
THRU; then ENTER. (The maximum relay time is 18 hours and
00 minutes.) For example, to set the latch timer for 2 hours and
45 minutes the following sequence would be followed:
+ 0 + 2 + 4 + 5 + +
If you have set an extended latch time, but need to interrupt it,
follow this procedure. Put the unit in Program Mode (see Page 8).
Then press Set Timer then “1” then Enter. After the Program
Mode expires, present a valid card to the reader. After one
second the relay will return to it’s normal state. You will then
have to reprogram the latch timer to the desired duration.
PROGRAMMING HINTS:
Setting the Latch Timer (RK65K/RK100M):
The latch timer controls the latch relay. The factory preset latch time
is 1 second but it can be changed to any value from .25 seconds
to 18 hours. If the latch timer is set to 0 seconds, this pulses the
latch relay for 0.25 second, sufficient for most electric turnstiles.
The beeper and LED are always fixed at one second.

Set the Operating Mode (RK65K/RK100M):
The Radio Key®RK-65K may be put into any of four operational
modes. The Modes are as follows;
“1” - Active (Normal) -- LED is Off
“2” - Inactive (Locked) -- LED blinks Red
“3” - Door Unlocked -- LED blinks Green
“4” - Toggle Mode – LED is Off
In mode 1, a valid tag or closure of the remote open input will
activate the relay for the time the latch timer is set.
Mode 2 deactivates the unit. No tag can activate the relay, but
the remote open input will activate the relay.
In mode 3, the door is kept unlocked (the relay is kept latched).
In mode 4, when a valid tag is presented or the remote open
input is activated, the relay changes its state from deactivated
to activated or from activated to deactivated. The relay will stay
in this state until another valid tag is presented or the remote
input is activated and so forth.

Configure the Relay (RK65K/RK100M)
The relay is set at the factory to be normally open and to close
upon presentation of a valid transponder or upon activation of
the remote open (Request to Exit) input. It may be changed to
normally closed or to SecuRelay™ operation. A normally open
relay is used for a “fail-secure” electric lock or door strike and
to trigger a gate operator. A normally closed relay is used for
“fail-safe” devices such as magnetic locks. The Secura Key
SecuRelay™ (sold separately) is a remote intelligent relay
used to prevent entry when the access control unit is physically
attacked. (NOTE: When placed in the SecuRelay™ mode the
“Remote Open” input is disabled.) To configure the relay, put
the unit in the Program mode (See Page 8). Press THRU two
times. Then press either the “6”, “7” or “8”. Press ENTER.
Selections are:
6. Normally Open (Factory default)
7. Normally Closed
8. SecuRelay™ Option.
For example, to configure the relay normally closed, the
following sequence would be followed:
