DATASHEET KXC-KN1, KXC-KN2
Overview
The Kentix DoorLock-DC Basic is a battery-operated electronic knob cylinder with radio control. The knob cylinder is designed for locking and unlocking locks in building doors. Depending on the product variant, the knob cylinder can be used indoors and outdoors. RFID transponder carriers with MIFARE®DESFire® can be used as keys.
The electronic knob cylinder is networked by radio with an AccessManager radio. Up to 16 DoorLock radio components can be programmed into one AccessManager radio. The configuration is done via the integrated web server of the main device (operating mode: Main-Device).

System topology
An illustration of the SmartAccess system topology can be found here.
Mastercard set
The master card set is used to prepare the DoorLock devices with radio for operation. All IP wall readers that are connected via the SmartRelay are excluded. With the service key card, the radio components such as knobs, door handles or wall readers are integrated into the radio network and the communication is encrypted. Only one master card set is required per system or installation. We recommend using an extra set of master cards for each project.
Keep the system card with the system key imprinted on it in a safe place, ideally in a safe. This system card is necessary for reordering in case of loss or defect of a service card. In case of complete loss of the system card and service card, only a very costly recovery at the factory is possible!
Resetting the components with the service key
Relearning or resetting can be helpful, for example, to put a system into operation for testing purposes. The components can then be relearned at the customer’s premises using their service key. This procedure is also important when returning components. Relearning a lost service key involves hardware intervention at the factory and service costs.
- The Servicekey card (YELLOW) in front of the reader unit of the device and hold it there until programming mode is automatically terminated. Then briefly (approx. 2 seconds) remove the card.
- Hold the service key in front of the reader again and leave it there. The DoorLock device signals the deletion process with short tones. Leave the service key card in front of the reader until the signaling stops.
- The device or card set has been reset and can be taught in again.
Commissioning
We recommend commissioning before assembly.
Prepare device
- Pull off knob cover (See battery change)
- Pull out the lock from the battery compartment
Set up programming card set
- Hold the service key (yellow) in front of the knob for approx. 1 second to activate.
- Hold the service key again briefly in front of the knob. The service key is now programmed.
- Hold the service key briefly in front of the knob again to start the programming mode.
- Hold the battery replacement card(green) in front of the knob until a signal tone sounds.
- Hold the disassembly card(blue) in front of the knob until a signal tone sounds.
- Hold the service key in front of the knob to complete the process.
User and access management
The administration of users and access rights is done on the main device of the installation with KentixOne.
All information about the software is available in the KentixONE section.

The lengths A and B are different depending on the cylinder required. To find out which cylinder lengths to use, the following guide can be used: Correctly measure locking cylinder
Mounting
Only a few steps are required for the installation. Please proceed as follows:
| Step | Note |
|---|---|
| Remove the faceplate screw and pull the existing cylinder out of the door. | Each Kentix profile cylinder comes with a new forend screw. |
| Insert the Kentix profile cylinder into the door. Then insert the face plate screw and tighten it hand-tight, do not use a cordless screwdriver with a high torque. | The mechanical knob is already attached to the profile cylinder. Therefore, insert the profile cylinder into the guide from the inside of the door. |
| Insert the RFID radio knob into the cylinder until it clicks into place. | |
| The installation is completed. If not already done, the knob can now be programmed with the card set. | Programming of the master card set in the knob should already be done before installation on the door. |
The cylinder must not protrude more than 1 to 3 mm from the fitting or protective fitting that closely surrounds it. However, this must not be installed recessed in the fitting. It should also be noted that the cylinder body is not braced in the door. For this purpose, after tightening the faceplate screw and before mounting the radio door knob, the free movement of all components should be checked.
If the radio door knob and cylinder were not supplied assembled, one or two drops of a resin-free oil (ORDER-CODE: KXC-PLS50M) must be added to the cylinder body during initial installation before mounting the knob module. It must not be sprayed directly into the cylinder body with the spray can. For the DoorLock-DC BASIC radio door knob, apply an additional 1 drop of resin-free oil directly to the mechanical slider.
During installation, no external forces may act on the radio door knob and/or the cylinder body.
Operation
During operation, it must be ensured that, apart from the intended operation, no lateral or other external forces act on the radio knob cylinder. Likewise, the door must not be pulled open on the radio door knob. Operating the door via the radio knob results in increased stress and premature wear and defects.
Battery warning
When the power of the batteries decreases, audible and visual warnings are generated by the device. This happens with decreasing battery power in 3 phases, during which, in addition to the warnings, the function of the device is limited. This is done in order to conserve the batteries as much as possible in the final stages and to allow them to be changed.
| Phase | Signaling | Function | Urgency |
| Phase 1 | 5 short tones, simultaneously LEDs flash 5x red | Full function | A battery change will be necessary soon. |
| Phase 2 | 5 short tones, simultaneously LEDs flash 5x red | 5 seconds delay of engagement, at the same time LEDs flash green | A battery change must be performed immediately. |
| Complete emptying | No signaling | No function | A battery change must be performed immediately. |
Battery change
Hold the battery replacement card in front of the knob module – the knob module moves to the battery replacement position. It may be necessary to wake up the knob module by turning it on before this step.
Simultaneously press in the now unlocked case locking pins of the knob module with the battery replacement tool and pull off the case.
Remove used batteries and insert new batteries, paying attention to polarity.
Press in the locking pins and push the knob module sleeve back on. Make sure that the locking pins are properly engaged in the sleeve.
After the battery change, the knob module is still in the battery change position. By presenting the battery replacement card or an authorized key again, the knob module moves back to the home position.
Battery change with low power adapter
If the battery of the DoorLock-DC Basic is completely discharged, the knob no longer shows any reactions (LEDs and signal tones). In the last phase of the drained battery condition, the knob always moves to the position where the pins can be pushed in to change the battery. If this is not the case, the low-power adapter (ORDER-CODE:KXC-BAT2) is required.
Application of the low power adapter
- Remove the plastic cover with the suction cup
- Hold the low-power adapter to the contacts of the knob and remain in this position
- Hold battery replacement card between knob and low-power adapter
- Remove the low-power adapter and press in the two opposite pins with battery change pliers
- By pulling, the cover of the knob can be removed and the battery can be taken out
- Insert new battery and bring the knob shell into the correct position
- Fix pins with battery change card
- Fasten plastic cover with logo
The following video shows the procedure for changing the battery with low-power adapter. You can find more information about the low-power adapter here: Low Power Adapter.
Maintenance
Maintenance and care of the cylinders or the entire lock should be performed at least once a year (more often in case of heavy use). Care must be taken to ensure that all door components move smoothly.
Do not use contact or cleaning sprays such as WD40 for maintenance.
