Mounting• The RK65K is offered in two configurations:

–RK65K S-shaped Mini Mullion Housing–RK65KS Wall Switch Housing

Main Menu

Mullion Installation

Drill holes as required.

Feed cable through 3/4” hole.

Make wiring connections with splice connectors or wire nuts.

Mount reader with two #6 screws (self-tapping, provided).

Snap label insert into front of unit.

Main Menu

Switch Plate Installation Diagram

Secure by installing the supplied screw (Security or Phillips) into the hole at thebottom of the unit.

Drill holes in mounting surface or use a ‘Single-Gang J-Box’.

Feed cable through 3/4” hole.

Make wiring connections using splice connectors or wire nuts.

Attach the mounting plate to the mounting surface with the appropriate fasteners (provided).

Card Types

• ISO printable cards: RKCI-02

• Molded cards: RKCM-02

• Key tags: RKKT-02

There are 3 different types of cards and keytags which can be used with the RK-65K unit:

Main Menu

Card ID Numbers

• Cards will not function until the Card ID number is programmed into the unit

• Card ID Numbers range from 1 to 65535, and are unique for each individual cardholder in the system

Main Menu

Facility Codes• Cards and Tags used with the RK65K are factory encoded

with a Facility Code number and a Card ID Number.• Facility Code is a number ranging from 0-255 for 26-bit

cards or 0-16383 for 32 bit cards.• The RK65K cannot be programmed until Facility Codes

are programmed into the unit.• All cards at a particular site should have the same Facility

Code. This makes the site unique, and prevents someone with similar cards from another site from gaining access.

• RK65K allows up to 10 facility codes to be stored, in the event that cards from multiple sites are merged.

• When a card is read, the Facility Code is checked first – if it is stored in the reader, then the Card ID is checked.

Main Menu

RK-HHP Programmer

As you press each key, the unit will chirp to indicate that it has understood the command.

The RK-HHP programmer is required to program the RK65K card reader. One RK-HHP can be used for multiple units.

Main Menu

Operating ModesThe RK-65K may be set into any of four operating modes:

Mode 1, Active (Normal) LED is off A valid card or closure of the Remote Open input will activate the relay for the user-configured latch time.

Mode 2, Inactive (locked) LED blinks Red This deactivates the reader. No card can activate the relay, but the Remote Open input will activate the relay for the user configured latch time.

Mode 3, Door Unlocked LED blinks Green The relay remains activated (door unlocked).

Mode 4, Toggle Mode LED is off When a valid card is presented or the Remote Open input is closed, the relay changes and maintains its state until another valid card is presented or the Remote Input is activated.

Main Menu

When the unit exits the programming mode, it will enter the selected mode.

Main Menu

Setting Timed AntipassbackTimed Antipassback: is used to discourage card sharing.

After one successful card use, the reader will treat that card as Void for a Defined number of minutes (up to 99 minutes).

When Timed Antipassback is enabled, it will apply to All Valid Cards.

Two steps are required to set Anti-Passback:

1. Enable Anti-Passback2. Set the Anti-Passback Timer value

Enable Timed Antipassback:Place the reader into the Program Mode. Press SET TIMER.Press ADD.Press ENTER.

Main Menu

Main Menu

Configure Relay N/O or N/CThe relay is set at the factory to be Normally Open, but it may be changed to Normally Closed.

A Normally Open relay: is for a “fail-secure” electric lock or door strike and to trigger a gate operator.

A Normally Closed relay: is for “fail-safe” devices such as Magnetic Locks.

To configure the relay: Place the reader into the Program Mode. Press THRU two times.Then press either 6 or 7.Press ENTER.

Selections are:6 Normally Open (Factory default)7 Normally Closed

Main Menu

Request to ExitTo use the Request to Exit (REX) feature:Connect a Normally Open momentary switch to the Orange and Brown wires. You can connect a pushbutton switch, or a Request to Exit PIR

While the switch is closed the relay will stay activated and the LED will turn on solid green, then when the switch is released, the Latch Timer starts, and the relay will deactivate after the Latch Time expires.

Remote Open connections:Normally open switch

Main Menu

Wiegand OutputThe RK-65K can be connected to the SK-ACP system or any other multidoor access control system, which has a Wiegand input.

When any Radio Key card or keytag is presented to the unit, the Card ID and facility code will be transmitted via the White (data 1) and Green (data 0) wires.

When the RK-65K unit is connected to a larger access control system, the local card memory will still operate the relay which can be used for degraded mode or other special functions.
