Datasheet KXC-WA4-IPx-V2
Overview
Kentix IP wall readers enable contactless control of doors with a MIFARE® DESFire® RFID chip. The outdoor wall reader is suitable for installation in outdoor areas. The electronics of the reader are housed in a dust-tight and jet-proof enclosure and comply with protection class IP66. The setup always consists of the actual wall reader and the connected Kentix AccessManager. The wall reader is connected to the AccessManager via a 4-wire connection. The AccessManager itself connects directly to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable network switch. To control electric strikes/motor locks, the SmartRelay offers two relay outputs and, depending on the power class of the strikes, an integrated PoE splitter with 24VDC output.

Connection example
One or two wall readers with door contacts and external door openers

Terminal 2 on the AccessManager provides communication via the data bus and the supply of operating voltage for the wall readers. (terminals 3-6). Terminal 2 serves as a common potential for the power supply of door openers with the PoE supply voltage of the AccessManager.
Terminal 1 is used for connection of potential-free contacts (“door contacts”, terminals 1-4) and switching of door openers by relay 2 (5-6) and relay 1 (7-8). Relay 1 and 2 switch terminal 1 to terminal 2 to common potential (terminal2, terminal 2).
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.
