KT-400 Expansion Module 16-Zone Input with SPI Cable Install Sheet

 

The KT-MOD-INP16 is an input module that adds up to 16 zones 

to the KT-400 controller. The module supports daisy chaining; 

you can interconnect up to 15 KT-MOD-INP16 modules for a total 

of 240 external inputs per KT-400. Adding the 16 onboard inputs 

of the KT-400 gives a total of 256 inputs per KT-400. Combining 

input and output expansion modules gives the flexibility to 

connect up to 256 inputs and 256 outputs. 
Note 1: The KT-400 SPI port maximum current draw, when the 

• 

Maximum Current Draw: up to 40 mA per module 

• 

Supports single end-of-line (5600 ohm resistors) and  
no end-of-line (DRY) zone loops 

• 

Supports Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) 

contacts 

• 

The C (Common) terminal is +12 VDC 

• 

Input change with a debouncing of 500 ms (Slow) or  
150 ms (Fast) 

• 

Reports one condition per input: SECURE or ALARM 

• 

Can be used for contact or elevator input 

• 

Cannot be connected to output modules KT-MOD-REL8 and 

KT-MOD-OUT16 through SPI OUT, only through its SPI EXP 

expansion port 

3.1. Unpacking 
The KT-MOD-INP16 package includes the following parts: 
• 

One (1) KT-MOD-INP16 module, 14 cm x 8 cm (5.7 in x 3.25 
in) 

• 

One (1) SPI cable with 1 SPI connector, 41 cm (16 in) 

• 

Four (4) plastic standoffs 

• 

Two (2) installation sheets, English and French 

3.2. Mounting 
The KT-MOD-INP16 can be installed inside a compatible cabinet 

(KT-MOD-CAB or KT-400) or mounted in a dry and secure 

location at less than 1 m (3 ft) from the KT-400. 
1.  Press the four (4) plastic standoffs through the mounting 

holes of the cabinet, 

2.  Secure the cabinet to the wall in the desired location. Use 

appropriate wall anchors when securing the cabinet to 
drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other surfaces. 

3.  Press the module into the plastic standoffs to secure the 

module to the cabinet. 

Perform the following steps to complete wiring: 

Note 1: Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all power 

(AC transformer and battery) is disconnected from the KT-400. 
Note 2:

 

If you are combining input and output modules through 

the SPI EXP expansion port of the KT-MOD-INP16, the input 

module must be the 1

st

 module connected to the KT-400 SPI 

Port.  

1.  Connect the 6-pin SPI connector to the KT-400 SPI port or to 

the SPI OUT of the previous KT-MOD-INP16 module. 

2.  Connect the six SPI wires (blue (BLU), white (WHT), green 

(GRN), yellow (YEL), black (BLK) and red (RED)) to the SPI 

IN (TB1) terminals. 

3.  You can use the SPI EXP of the 1

st

 KT-MOD-INP16 to start a 

group of output modules (KT-MOD-REL8 and KT-MOD-

OUT16 only). 

4.  Connect the 6-pin SPI connector from the SPI OUT to the 

next KT-MOD-INP16 module. 

5.  Complete all zone wiring to the zone input terminals (Z1-Z16).
