DATASHEET KXC-RA4
Overview
The DoorLock-RA4 is a wired locking solution for IT racks and distribution cabinets. The DoorLock offers the possibility of two-factor authentication via a touch PIN keypad and an RFID reader. In addition, the position of the lever on the DoorLock is sensed via an integrated magnetic contact.
The DoorLock requires a suitable remote station for operation. This remote station is formed by the network-capable devices AccessManager (SmartRelay) or SmartPDU, which act as both bus gateway and power supply.
For central management, an AccessManager, SiteManager or AlarmManager is required in the MAIN-DEVICE operating mode. Teach-in and configuration are performed entirely via the KentixONE web interface. The maximum cable length between gateway and DoorLock is limited to 100m. Up to 16 DoorLocks can be taught-in to one AccessManager (SmartRelay). With a SmartPDU as gateway, the number is limited to 2 DoorLocks.

Hole pattern for mounting
The following hole pattern is required for mounting the DoorLock-RA4. The bar lock of the cabinet door must have a receptacle for an 8 mm square mandrel.
- Cross-head screw for fixing the top of the DoorLock to the cabinet door (tightening torque 1.5 Nm)
- Spacer washer for thin cabinet doors
- Locking screw with hexagon head for fastening the rod lock to the DoorLock (tightening torque 1.5 Nm)

Ordering information
The DoorLock-RA4 is available in two directions of rotation of the square spindle (right/left). As the lifting handle always performs the same movement, the gear or the shaft rotation must be set according to the L/R door side.
Please note the required direction of rotation of the axle when ordering.
The direction of rotation can always be seen from the rear of the door or lever.
