Overview of Features The KT-1 One-Door Controller is designed to meet the highest standards of access control and point monitoring applications. The KT-1 is available in two configurations: • KT-1 (single gang mount) • KT-1-PCB More information is available near the end of this guide on expansion kits and related items.

IP Communication Configuration Web Configuration Page: The Web Configuration Page can be used to verify and configure the IP settings of the KT-1. Refer to the System Architecture section of this guide for further details. KT-Finder: The KT-Finder is a stand-alone application that can be used to verify and configure the IP settings of the KT-1.

IP Connectivity With or Without PoE/PoE+ When used with EntraPass Special Edition, Global Edition and Multi-Site Gateway, the KT-1 can gather its configuration through an IP connection over the LAN (Local Area Network) and over the Internet for a WAN (Wide Area Network), (WAN con- figuration not recommended with Global Edition).

15 seconds to 140 seconds. The loss of communication notification will occur when the network pulse time has elapsed twice plus 15 seconds. Note: The KT-1 has been tested by UL with the PoE/PoE+ models Phihong POE36U- 1AT-R and/or the POE125U-4-HP-R. These devices shall be used in conjunction with UL listed transient protectors.

Note: Supervision is only provided to detect short-circuit fault, not open-circuit fault. Relay Outputs The KT-1 has 2 open collector onboard switch to ground relay outputs. The KT-1-PCB has 2 form C relays. Reader Outputs There are 4 different possible open collector, switch to ground, outputs. Reader out- puts are used to give user visual and/or audible feedback on the ongoing access events.

IP (ETHERNET) or RS-485 (COM1). Downloadable Firmware The firmware program can be downloaded from any EntraPass workstation to the KT-1. It is stored in the controller’s flash memory, and is upgraded without having to change any parts. Trouble and Reporting The KT-1 continuously monitors its power and reports low and critical power issues.
LED Patterns Visual Status Indicators (LEDs) The front cover of the KT-1 controller has multiple LED status indicators, which are used for such activities as troubleshooting, network activity, power status and out- puts. The LED status indicators, as illustrated on the cover diagram below, are as follows: •...
Page 24
Heartbeat LED Patterns Communication status and other vital controller parameters can be obtained from heartbeat LED patterns located in the Kantech shield on the cover. This information is particularly useful when connecting the controller to the rest of the EntraPass sys- tem.

AES Encryption AES NIST Validation of certificate No. 3092 *Note: The KT-1 has been tested by UL with the PoE/PoE+ modles Phihong POE36U-1AT-R and/or the POE125U-4-HP-R. These devices shall be used in con- junction with UL listed Transient protectors. Other compatible PoE/PoE+ con- figurations may be possible.
Installation, Connection & Power Overview Installation of the KT-1 varies with the type of unit: KT-1 or KT-1-PCB. Installation is also dependent on the selection of the 12 V or PoE/PoE+ as the power source (see Powering the KT-1 later in this section for more details).
Page 28
KT-1 Installation 1 - Complete each of the required connections on the small board (B) which mounts on the wall-plate. 2 - Install the wall-plate (A) to the wall using the two Phillips screws provided. 3 - Clip board (B) on the wall plate (A).

Connect the ground wire to the green quick- connect terminal. Make an earth ground connection to the cabinet of the KT-1 con- troller as per the requirements of your local electrical code. Wire the E-GND ter- minal on the KT-1 printed circuit board directly to that connection point.

DC powered locking devices such as electromechanical strikes and can be configured to operate fail-safe or fail-secure (normal or reverse action). Note: If required, the KT-1 can provide galvanically isolated output(s) by pro- gramming any of the relays (KT-1-PCB only).
Page 31
Connect devices to inputs 1 to 4. Resistors for all inputs are 5.6K ohm (if selected). The KT-1 has an on-board capability of monitoring 4 input points. Each onboard input is supervised with or without end-of-line resistors (5.6K ohm). The maximum distance of one line is 600 m (2,000 ft) with AWG #22 in a single or double EOL con- figuration.

Connecting Reader Units The KT-1 provides 12 VDC power for card readers. Up to 2 readers can be con- nected to a KT-1. The distance between the readers and the KT-1 varies by reader type, please refer to the documentation provided with the reader. Auxiliary outputs provide visual and/or audible access operation feedback at the controlled door.

Use PoE/PoE+ Phihong models POE125U-4-HP-R or POE36U-1AT-R. AC trouble output from KT-PS4085 power supply shall be con- nected to one of the available inputs on KT-1 for transmission of AC loss event to the monitoring console.

Reset & Configuration One Button The One Button is used in the configuration of the KT-1 controller. It is located on the lower front of the KT-1, where the Kantech Shield is placed. Placing a finger over the imprint of the shield activates various functionalities of the controller.
Page 39
A reset of the system is possible using the reset button located on the main board. The main board is accessed by removing the front cover of the KT-1. The reset but- ton is on the bottom right side and is accompanied by a legend detailing the reset options.
