INSTALLATION GUIDE - REMOTE ACCESS CONTROLLER RAC 4 • PK3197_10_14
Step 7: Connect peripheral wiring
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the maximum cable length
indicated by the manufacturer of the
products being connected. In addition,
the wire used to connect the peripherals
to controller PCB must be of the proper
gauge and type as specified by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION:
Refer to the wiring label on the access
door, the wiring diagram & tables in Annex
A, or the detailed peripherals connections
in Annex B.
IMPORTANT:
Every wire must pass through a strain
relief as connected in step 4.
Follow the indications below for the
different peripherals being connected. The
actual items to connect will vary based on
the system configuration ordered.
NOTE:
Refer to detailed wiring diagrams
provided in Annex B.
1.
Electric strike or electromagnetic lock
(locking device)
Refer to Annex B, Figure 4,5,6 & 7 for
detailed wiring.
IMPORTANT:
Kaba Ilco does not provide technical or
field support for 3rd party locking devices.
Please consult the device manufacturer
for support.
The following table indicates the maximum
recommended wire lengths that can be
used for typical locking devices, based on
wire gauge.
NOTE:
The Maximum Recommended Wire
Length is the approximate wire length
that causes a 5% voltage loss in the
wire, using a 12-volt locking device at
the rated current included.
CAUTION:
This table is for reference only. Actual
wiring requirements for specific devices
may differ. Always follow the locking device
manufacturer’s wiring recommendations
as well as local building codes.
1.1 Install and route a 2-conductor cable from
the controller PCB to the desired location
of the electric strike or electromagnetic
lock.
1.2
If installing an electric strike, install the
diode across the terminals of the locking
device, using the crimp connectors
provided in the hardware bag if needed.
IMPORTANT:
Do not reverse the diode polarity as
indicated on the wiring diagram.
CAUTION:
To prevent a possible short, the diode
must not be in contact with electric strike.
If required cut the diode ends shorter.
1.3 Mount the locking device in the desired
location and connect as per manufacturer’s
instructions. For connections between
locking device and controller PCB refer to
Annex A, Table 3.
2. Request to Exit button (REX)
Refer to Annex B, Figure 8 for detailed
wiring.
Mount the device at the desired location
and run a 2-conductor cable from the
request to exit button to controller PCB
connector J8, pins 3 & 4. Connect as per
Annex A, Table 3.
3. Remote Unlock button
Refer to Annex B, Figure 8 for detailed
wiring.
Mount the device at the desired location
and run a 2-conductor cable from the
remote unlock button to the controller
PCB connector J8, pins 1 & 2. Connect as
per Annex A, Table 3.
