Enabling exit readers

This feature allows a user to add exit readers to doors currently controlled by the KT-400 or KT-2 controllers. Each door in effect has two readers, one for entry and one for exit, using the same door terminal port.

This feature is limited to ioProx XSF, ioSmart SSF, and IoProx UK 31-bit readers. Non-Kantech readers cannot use the Exit Reader feature.

The second reader retains the same values as the first reader for the following configuration settings:

  • Door lock mode
  • Unlock time
  • Open time
  • Extended Unlock time
  • Extended Open time
  • Unlock Schedule
  • Video View
  • Graphic
  • All “Door Contact” features
  • Relay Activation for Door events, except “Door forced open”

Therefore, these fields are not accessible to configure because the values are copied from the Entry Reader. The second Exit door is automatically labelled with the first door name, and the word EXIT at the end.

  1. Ensure that at least one reader is configured on the controller.
  2. From the Controller Definition menu, click the KT-400 or KT-2 tab. Under Enable exit reader, select the doors you want the reader to be enabled for.
  3. Click Save.
    Note: You cannot delete an exit reader. Deselecting the exit reader under Controller disables the exit reader.
