Input configuration

Door controllers can monitor the state of input points such as: door contacts, interlocks, alarm points, motion detectors, temperature sensors, any REX and other devices with dry contacts. KT-100 monitors the state of 4 input points, KT-200 monitors the state of 16 input points, and KT-300 monitors the state of 8 on-board input points, with a maximum capacity of 16.

  • KT-200 controllers: Inputs are normally closed or normally open dry contacts connected in series with one resistor. If the dry contact is connected in series with the green resistor, the input number will be odd. If the dry contact is connected in series with the red resistor, the input number will be even.
  • Inputs 1 (door contact) and 2 (request to exit device) are ideally reserved for Door 1 of the controller whereas Input 9 (door contact) and 10 (request to exit device) are ideally reserved for Door 2 of the same controller. The input that is used for the door contact or REX contact SHOULD NOT have a “monitoring” schedule defined in the “Input Definition” menu.
  • KT-100 Controllers: Input 1 is reserved for door contact while input 2 is reserved for a request to exit device.
  • KT-300 Controllers: Input 1 should be reserved for contact on door 1 while input 2 should be used for request to exit device for door 1 of the controller. Input 3 should be reserved for contact on door 2 while input 4 should be used for request to exit device for door 2 of the controller.
  • KT-400 Controllers: Reserve input 1 for the contact on door 1. resver input 2 for a request to exit device for door 1. Reserve input 5 for the contact on door 2. Reserve input 6 for a request to exit device for door 2. Reserve input 9 for the contact on door 3. Reserve input 10 for a request to exit device for door 3 of the controller. Reserve input 13 for the contact on door 4. Reserve input 6 for a request to exit device for door 4 of the controller.
    Note: For a single gateway, limits are 2048 connections, 10,000 doors, 100,000 inputs and 100,000 outputs.
  • KT-1 controllers: Reserve input 1 for the contact on door 1. Reserve input 2 for a request to exit device for door 1.
  • KT-2 controllers: Reserve input 1 for the contact on door 1. Reserve input 2 for a request to exit device for door 1. Reserve input 5 for the contact on door 2. Reserve input 6 for a request to exit device for door 2.
