Keyscan KC Series Door Control Panels

Keyscan KC series panels are designed to be compatible with their legacy CA Series predecessors - with one major difference. Communications with Keyscan Aurora software PC or Server and amongst multiple panels will move to TCP/IP protocol (CAT5 ethernet) from the legacy protocol. NETCOM TCP/IP modules are no longer required for KC Series panels. 

The KC Series control panels will continue to support peripheral and expansion devices (IOCB1616, OCB8) plus a host of readers, contacts, electronic/wireless locks, strikes, electromagnetic locks, and request to exit touch or touchless actuator devices. 

The Keyscan KC series next generation control panels will usher in a new spectrum of innovative functions, including: 

• Functions with Keyscan Aurora 2.0 (or higher) 
• LCD screen display for instant troubleshooting 
• Menu selections for at-board programming 
• Built in TCP/IP (ethernet) port 
• Credential capacity up to 100,000 
• Support for wiegand and OSDP V2.1.5 reader protocol 
• Network firmware updates 
• GUI embedded browser for hardware set up 
• Half the size of CA legacy panels 
• At least 4 off board peripherals now built on-board 
• 5 year warranty 

Backward compatible 
New KC series panels will function in tandem with legacy CA250; CA4500 and CA8500 panels via TCP/IP connection to the same Aurora software platform. Communications between software and panels is 128 Bit AES. 

Existing daughter boards remain available for expansion: 

• IOCB1616 input/output boards; 
• OCB8 relay boards; 
• WIEEX2 wiegand extenders remain compatible 

Important: New firmware will allow communication with existing OCB8 relay boards and IOCB1616 input/output boards both used to augment system expansion.
