All circuits are power limited with the exception of the battery leads. The following Kantech readers are UL1076 listed and can be used with the Kantech Model KT315 in a UL294 compliant installation: P225W26, P225KPW26, P225KPXSF, P225XSF, P325W26, P325KPW26, P325XSF, P325KPXSF, and P600.
Power outputs are supervised and individually protected against short-circuits and surges by self-resetting PTC. Locking devices are also supervised for short and open circuits.

The KT-315 uses high performance communication, proper grounding must be provided to ensure proper operation. Make an earth ground connection to the cabinet of the KT-315 as per the requirements of your local electrical code. Wire the E- GND terminal on the KT-315 printed circuit board directly to that connection point.
Up to 2 readers can be connected to a KT-315. They can be installed on one door to control both entry and exit or on two separate doors operating independently to control one-way access.
Connect RS-485 cable to X1+, X1- and GND. Controllers are linked together through their RS-485 connectors. The maximum communication loop length is 1.2 kilometers (4,000 feet) using appropriate cabling. Connecting several KT-315 controllers at a single point is not acceptable nor are splitters or “spider web networks.”...
Over Corporate Network (LAN) If the master controller is used in a LAN-enabled corporate setting, use TCP/IP-to-RS-232 converter (such as the Kantech IP Link or the Lantronix UDS-1100 communication interface) to connect the controller to the corporate network. This method uses existing wiring for data exchange between EntraPass and the controllers.
Introduction to Combus Modules The Combus terminals on the KT-315 Controller are used to connect expansion modules to add inputs, outputs, relays and LCD time and date display. The four Combus terminals of the main panel must be connected to the four Combus terminals or wires of all modules.
Do not use any power supply other than the KT-PC4204 to repower the Combus. In the event of a power surge or transient, a module may lock up and cease to communicate with the controller. If the KT-315 loses communication with the module, it will initiate a module reset and will power down the Combus for five seconds in an attempt to reset the problem module.
One (1) installation instructions sheet. Mounting the KT-PC4108 Module The KT-PC4108 module should be located inside a compatible cabinet (Kantech part no. KT-4051CAB), mounted in a dry, secure location. Preferably, it should be placed at a convenient distance from the connected devices.
1. Connect the four Combus wires to the KT-PC4108. Connect the Red, Black, Yellow and Green Combus wires to the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals, respectively. 2. Complete all zone wiring to the zone input terminals (Z1-Z8). 3. Connect the external tamper switch, if used. NOTE: Consult the wiring diagram above for further information.
Wiring may take place once the unit is mounted. Installation and Wiring Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC transformer and battery) is disconnected from the KT-315 controller. Perform the following steps to complete wiring: 1. Connect the four Combus wires to the KT-PC4204. Connect the red, black, yellow and green Combus wires to the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminal respectively.
Applying Power After wiring is completed, apply power to the KT-315. Connect the battery leads to the battery, and connect the AC transformer. Then, connect power to the KT-PC4204; the battery leads followed by the AC transformer. NOTE: Do not connect the power until all wiring is complete.
Combus (since Combus can handle a maximum of 500 mA, a KT- PC4204 module in “repower” mode can be used to increase the current of the Combus of 1A). • Connects to KT-315 via 4-wire Combus • Nominal current draw of 15 mA •...
Applying Power 1. After all wiring is completed, apply power to the KT-315. 2. Connect the battery leads to the battery. 3. Then, connect the AC transformer. NOTE: Do not connect the power until all wiring is completed. Assigning the KT-PC4216 Module Follow the Instructions below for assigning and programming your KT-PC4216 module.
The KT-315 was communicating via the RS-232 port and you installed a VC-485 to communicate via the RS-485 port; c You were using the KT-315 at a local site and now want to configure it for remote operation. How to Use the Default Initialization (Hard Reset) 1.
Visual Status Indicators (LEDs) The KT-315 controller has multiple status indicators such as for troubleshooting, network activity, power status and outputs activity. Please refer to the graphic below for a detailed view of their location. • HEARTBEAT (BLUE): This LED indicates the working status of KT-315.
Kantech. Do not crush, puncture, open, disassemble or otherwise mechanically interfere with the battery. Do not try to recharge the battery. If you need to dispose of the circuit board and/or the lithium battery, wrap the KT-315 in non-conductive tape. Check with your local authorities for battery disposal regulations.
