VITAL LED Heartbeat Patterns Communication status and other vital controller parameters can be obtained from VITAL LED heartbeat patterns. It is located near the RS-232 port (COM3), see Figure 1. This information is particularly useful when connecting the controller to the rest of the EntraPass system. The following table lists all conditions along with a brief description. Refer to Table 3, if you must reset or change the communication mode of the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.

Warning: Controlled door locks may be governed by regulatory bodies and should always be installed according to local regulations. In most instances, there are strict limitations to installing fail-secure devices and fail-safe locking devices such as magnetic locks or other similar locking devices on doors used as emergency exits. Hooking Up Inputs Connect devices to inputs 1 to 16 Resistors for all inputs 5.6K ohm (if selected)
Relay Controlled Outputs The KT-400 provides four relay outputs RELAY1 to RELAY4 (3 Amps, 30 VAC/VDC). The KT-400 can be expanded up to 256 controlled outputs when using expansion modules. • The KT-MOD-OUT16 module provides 16 outputs at a maximum of 750 mA per output.
Connecting the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Connecting the VC-485 or the USB-485 to the RS-485 Bus Connect the RS-485 cable to (COM1) + 485 - and the RS-485 signal ground to the 12 VDC AUX Controllers are linked together through their RS-485 terminals. The maximum communication loop length is 1.2 km (4,000 ft) using appropriate cabling.
Connecting the Master Controller to the Host PC via RS-232 Connect RS-232 cable from KT-400 to the PC (maximum length 30 m (100 ft)) If the local master controller is located more than 30 m (100 ft) from the host computer, you must use a VC-485 or USB-485 interface.
SPI Expansion Port The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) expansion port on the KT-400 is used to connect expansion modules, in order to add more inputs and outputs such as relays. The maximum current draw for the SPI expansion port is 500 mA when the 12V AUX terminals are not used.
Important Installation Rules about Expansion Modules Note 1: The maximum current draw must be calculate each time there is a new module added to the SPI chain. Rule 2: The SPI cable, between the KT-400 and the 1st module or between each modules, cannot exceed 1 m (3 ft). Shielded wire should only be used in areas with excessive RF noise of electromagnetic interference.

Default initialization The KT-400 default initialization or Factory Default DHCP is done at Kantech. The following steps should only be followed if: a) You want to configure the KT-400 with the KT-Finder, see page 33. b) The KT-400 was communicating via the RS-232 port and you have installed a VC-485 or USB-485 to communicate via the RS-485 port.
KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller Maintenance Recommendations The KT-400 includes a lithium ion rechargable battery (see the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller PCB View on page 8). This battery must be replaced by a Kantech technician to avoid any risk of explosion. If the Lithium-Ion battery stops working, return the circuit board to Kantech.
