Kantech KT-16DE6-WPA 16 Door ProWire STANDARD Enclosure
Overview
The KT-16DE6-WPA is a factory-assembled, prewired access control enclosure designed for mid-scale facilities requiring consolidated 16-door control in a single wall-mounted unit. Every internal connection arrives terminated and tested, eliminating field wiring errors and cutting deployment labor significantly compared to building harnesses on-site. This is the right choice when you need to consolidate power distribution, controller boards, battery management, and door strike wiring into one organized assembly.
Compatibility
The KT-16DE6-WPA integrates with Kantech KT-1-PCB, KT-1-PCB/2, and KT-1-PCB/4 access control panels. The enclosure houses the controller boards on a removable backplate and provides all distribution wiring to fused lock power outputs, auxiliary power rails, and system power circuits. It is compatible with mid-scale Kantech ProWire system deployments across office buildings, corporate campuses, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and data centers.
Power and Environmental Specifications
Input Voltage: 120VAC, 208VAC, or 230VAC at 50/60Hz — select the option matching your facility power infrastructure.
Output Distribution: The enclosure provides user-selectable 12VDC or 24VDC on every fused output, allowing locks and auxiliary devices to draw from the appropriate voltage. Both rails are powered and battery-backed simultaneously, so lock power continues during AC mains loss.
Battery System: Integrated LifeSafety Power battery management charges SLA or LiFePO4 batteries 50% faster than conventional trickle charging and prevents deep discharge through intelligent cutoff. The onboard fire alarm interface (FAI) enables central door release on emergency trigger.
Operating Temperature: 32–122°F (0–50°C) — standard commercial HVAC environments.
Key Pre-wired Benefits: All power and controller distribution arrives factory-installed with point-to-point wiring documentation. Cable management is integrated, eliminating field termination and reducing commissioning time by days on larger installations.
Installation Notes
The enclosure mounts to a standard backplate via screwdriver terminations only—no internal cabinet wiring required by the field installer. Predrilled mounting holes accept standard electrical box fasteners. Ensure adequate clearance for battery module replacement and verify AC input voltage matches the enclosure configuration before power-up.
