2.5 ESD (electrostatic discharge) protective measures
NOTICE
Danger for electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
Improper handling of printed circuit boards or components can cause damages that
lead to complete failures or sporadic errors.
• During installation and repair of the product, the ESD protective measures must
be considered.
• Wear an ESD wristband when handling electronic components. Connect the end
of the wristband to a discharge socket or an unvarnished grounded metal com-
ponent. This way, static charges are discharged from your body securely and ef-
fectively.
• Touch only the edges of circuit boards. Do not touch the circuit board nor the
connector.
• Place all dismantled components on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic con-
tainer.
• Avoid contact between circuit boards and clothing. The wristband only protects
the printed circuit boards against electrostatic discharge from your body, but
there is still a risk of damage through electrostatic discharge from your clothing.
• Transport and dispatch dismantled modules only in electrostatically shielded
protective bags.

A registration unit can be connected to the Kaba Remote Reader 91 15.
Thanks to the separation of the remote reader and the registration unit, the remote
reader can be installed in a tamper-proof area and the registration unit can be in-
stalled in an area that is not tamper-proof.
The remote reader can be integrated with the Kaba exos access control system.
The remote reader is installed on a DIN rail.
The door components (locking elements, monitoring contacts) are directly con-
nected to the remote reader. This controls the electric strikes as well as the optical
and acoustic signal transmitters of the registration units.
The remote reader communicates with the host system via the RS-485 interface. The
host system checks the company codes and the user medium numbers, and activates
the access points. If the communication between the remote reader and the host sys-
tem is interrupted, then, with the relevant programming of its offline behavior, the
remote reader automatically takes on the tasks of the host system; i.e. authorization
checks and door functions are retained.

4.8 Operating Modes
4.8.1 Overview of Operating Types
The device supports online and offline operating modes.
Online operation: The device communicates with the system.
See Supported functions
Offline operation: If a device connected with the system is disconnected
from the system, then it switches to offline mode.
See Supported functions
For the online and offline operation of the device, a minimum of the following hard-
ware settings must be carried out before putting into operation:
System used Minimum hardware settings
Kabaexos9300 Online operation:
• Address
Offline operation:
• DIP and rotary switch
4.8.2 Online operation
In online operation, the Remotereader communicates with the host system. The sys-
tem makes the access decision on the basis of badges, time-dependent authorization
and verification. The system controls the access points. If communication between
Remotereader and system is interrupted, then the Remotereader independently
switches into offline operation. If the Remotereader is queried by the system again,
then the Remotereader switches back into online operation.
4.8.3 Offline Operation
Even in offline operation, i.e. without communication with the host system, an access
point is monitored and controlled by the Remotereader. For access decisions,
site keys are used under MIFARE and
segment search keys are used under LEGIC.
The Remotereader controls the access point according to the position of the DIP
switch.
In order to ensure fault-free offline operation, the Remotereader should be operated
with a secure power supply (e.g. UPS).
Behavior in the event of an interruption to communication
• The access point goes to basic status (possibly alarm, if the access point is not
closed)
• Relays which are not involved in a door process (according to DIP switch) deacti-
vate; the same is true for the connected Kaba extension module 9030
4.8.3.1 Offline Access Decision
The customer determines the nature of the offline access decision which is parame-
terized in the system. We differentiate the following offline access decisions:
Parameter settings in the system: no offline access decision
The Remotereader rejects all bookings in offline operation.
Technical Manual Design and function
29- 06/2016Kaba Remote Reader 91 15-AM (US/
CAN)
Parameter settings in the system:
Checking site key (MIFARE)/segment search key (LEGIC)
In the online mode, the site key (MIFARE)/segment search key (LEGIC) is sent to the
Remotereader by the system and saved in the Remotereader. During the offline
mode, the Remotereader only checks the site key (MIFARE)/segment search key
(LEGIC). The time zone is not considered for this kind of access decision.
Logbook
The logbook records and saves a maximum of 2000 events during the offline opera-
tion. Once the Remotereader is online again, the saved data is sent to the host sys-
tem and deleted from the memory of the Remotereader.
The following events are logged:
• Authorized accesses (incl. type of authorization)
• Tampering, door forced open, door opener key
If there are more than 2000 entries, the oldest will be overwritten (ring memory).

5.3 Installation lines
5.3.1 Power supply line
Power can be supplied in the following ways:
• From the host control device (power supply and data line in one cable)
• From a separate power supply
NOTICE
Voltage drops, caused by line resistance, must be taken into consideration for
long lines.
The given cable types and diameters are examples and serve as recommendations.
The technical specifications of the cable manufacturer are authoritative for the pre-
cise determination of the cable diameter/cross section and the resulting maximum
cable lengths. The voltage drop across the cable length is decisive in this case. As
such, the voltage that is available at the end of the cable may, under no circum-
stances, be less than the minimum permitted supply voltage of the connected com-
ponents. This always applies in consideration of the maximum power consumption
of the connected components.
Only connect the terminals when the power is switched off.
Notice: The device may only be supplied with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and
LPS (Limited Power Source), according to IEC/UL/CSA 60950-1.

5.3.2.1 Cable
NOTICE
Local legal provisions (e.g., VDE) must be observed during installation of compo-
nents.
For notes on structured cabling, see the standard EN 50173.
The cables recommended in the chapter Power supply line [}5.3.1] have a foil
screen and are designed based on S-UTP (screened unshielded twisted pair). The wire
pairs are not individually shielded against each other (unshielded). Each pair com-
prises two color-coded wires that are twisted together (twisted pair).

6 Start-up
6.1 "Standalone Access Control without Host System" Commissioning
(Construction site mode)
The Remotereader can already be used on a host system even before connection.
This enables the use of the remote reader, e.g., during the construction phase.
By connecting the remote reader to a host control device (host system), the func-
tions of the remote reader described in this chapter are replaced by parameteriza-
tion of the system.
6.1.1 Using LEGIC
If using "Standalone access control (without host system)", only the LEGIC stamp
(segment search key) is checked. To authorize access, the user medium's stamp must
match the stamp of the remote reader.
• If using "Standalone access control (without host system)" the remote reader can
only be used with one stamp (segment search key).
Preparation
1. Use security cardC1 (IAM) to define the stamp of masterA (only LEGIC ISO
14443A) (see RM_LEGIC_advant_Media_Definition).
Putting into operation
1. Carry out factory reset on the remote reader, see Chapter
2. Present Master A (only LEGIC ISO 14443A) to the connected registration unit
ðIn the event of successful transfer of the stamp: 3x short beep
ðThe stamp (segment search key) was transferred onto the remote reader
ðThe remote reader is now ready for bookings
Functions
• Book
• Save the following events (max. 2000):
– Door forced open
– Doors opened using the button/door handle
– Door open too long
• Not saved:
– Access events
– The time and date stamps are incorrect/invalid because the clock on the re-
mote reader has not been set yet.
Book
1. Present a LEGIC user medium (LEGIC prime, ISO 14443A or ISO 15693) to the con-
nected registration unit.

6.1.2 Using MIFARE
If using "Standalone access control (without host system)", only the site key/fabrica-
tion key is checked. During the check, the medium's fabrication key is not replaced.
To authorize access, the user medium's site key must match one of the remote
reader's site keys.
• A security cardC, a masterA, or a masterB medium can contain up to eight site
keys.
• On the medium, the site key's identification file must match the "default ARIOS
configuration"; the applicationID, fileID, and coding of the identification number
must match. Media with changed applicationIDs or non-standard identification
number coding will not be recognized.
Putting into operation
1. Carry out factory reset on the remote reader, see Chapter
2. Hold security card C, a master A or a master B medium in front of the connected
registration unit.
ðIn the event of successful transfer of the stamp: 3x short beep
ðA maximum of eight site keys are transferred onto the remote reader

6.2 Issue Write/Read Authorization (Launch)
(LEGIC only)
A write/read authorization is required in the following cases:
• If the Remotereader needs to write on a write-protected segment of a medium,
e.g. in the case of CardLink applications, validate write-protected CardLink seg-
ments
• If the Remotereader needs to read a read-protected segment of a medium
In this chapter, the term "Write authorization" will be used for the terms "Write au-
thorization" and "Read authorization".
Write authorization with a LEGIC prime SAM 63 card is only valid for LEGIC prime.
Write authorization with a LEGIC advant SAM 63 card is only valid for LEGIC prime
and LEGIC advant 15693 and 14443A.
In this chapter, the designation "Security card C2" will be used for the card designa-
tions "SAM 63" and "Security card C2 (SC-C2)".
The signaling is carried via the registration unit on which the card is presented.
Requirements
• For the write authorization, a security card C2 with corresponding segment area
is required.
• ISO standard 14443A must have been activated using security card C2.
• The ISO standard of the SAM 63 card must match the parameterized ISO stan-
dard.
• The Remotereader should be in regular operation and waiting for an RFID entry.
Procedure
1. Present the security card C2 to the connected registration unit without interrup-
tion (approx. 15s).
ðThe Registration unit illuminates green during the process.
ðSignaling after successful write authorization: 3x beeps
If the Remotereader has previously been granted write authorization using
the same security card C2, this will be signaled immediately by 3x beeps
ðNo signaling: Write authorization has not been granted.
Possible reasons
- The security card C2 card was removed from the RFID field too early
- ISO 14443A is not activated in the system
- If SAM+ media are being used: No credit is available
2. Remove the security card C2 from the field.
6.3 Cancel Write/Read Authorization
(Only for LEGIC Compact Reader)
The write/read authorization needs to be canceled in the following cases:
• If the Remotereader no longer needs to write on write-protected segments of a
medium
Technical Manual Start-up
55- 06/2016Kaba Remote Reader 91 15-AM (US/
CAN)
• If the Remotereader no longer needs to read read-protected segments of a
medium
In this chapter, the term "Write authorization" will be used for the terms "Write au-
thorization" and "Read authorization".
In this chapter, the term "Writing right" will be used for the terms "Writing right" and
"Reading right".
6.3.1 Cancel all writing rights granted by a write authorization
1. Reset remote reader to the basic status, see Chapter
6.3.2 Cancel a particular writing right granted by a write authorization:
Use the SAM 64 card to delete the relevant stamp.
The signaling is carried via the registration unit on which the card is presented.
Requirements
• In order to cancel the write authorization, a SAM 64 card with the relevant seg-
ment range is required.
• The Remotereader should be in regular operation and waiting for an RFID entry.
Procedure
1. Present the SAM 64 card to the connected registration unit without interruption
(approx. 15s).
ðThe Registration unit illuminates green during the process.
ð3x beep: Write-authorization canceled
If the write authorization has already previously been canceled with the
same SAM 64 card, this will be signaled immediately with 3x beeps.
ðNo signaling: Write authorization has not been canceled.
Possible reasons
- The SAM 64 card was removed from the RFID field too early
- ISO 14443A is not activated in the system
- If SAM+ media are being used: No credit is available
2. Remove the SAM 64 card from the field.
