Kaba Ilco Lodging Access Control System
To operate the lock, the user simply inserts and removes their keycard as shown in the
figure above, then turns the handle. The lock responds with visible and/or audible
feedback
(refer to Section 5.2 – Lock Responses to Keycards)
.
The batteries, which are located in a compartment on the outside of the door for
Generation E-760 & 770 locks, or on the inside of the door for other models, are standard
alkaline AA batteries that are widely available, and can be purchased in a sealed pack
from Kaba Ilco. The life of the batteries depends on the model and application of the
lock. In general, they last two years, or approximately 80,000 insertions. Guest room
doors are normally opened less frequently than Common Area doors or doors used
primarily by staff, and their batteries tend to last longer.
2.2.2
Remote Access Controllers
For special doors that do not use a conventional lock, there are magnetic stripe card
readers (figure 2.2.2) that can be mounted in a convenient location on
a nearby wall. The card reader is connected to a Remote Access
Controller (RAC) concealed in a panel box, which can control up to
8 relays (1 relay standard), in order to activate electronic devices
such as elevator call buttons, magnetic locks or sliding doors.
Card readers operate similarly to locks. In addition, RAC Models 3.5,
4 & 4XT card readers offer flexible time zones
(refer to Section 5.5 -
Remote Access Controller Models 3.5 and 4 Flexible Time Zones)
for
controlling access by Guest, Staff and Passage keycards. The most
frequent application of card readers is for Common Area doors, such
as the gym, pool & parking.
2.2.3
Exit Device Operators
An exit device operator is an electronic lock that connects with exit door hardware, such
as a panic bar. Such a lock converts an exit-only door into a two-way door that permits
guests and staff with a valid keycard to re-enter from the outside. The exit device is
operated like any other lock, and is usually programmed as a Common Area door
(refer
to section 2.2.5 – Types of Doors in the System)
