INSTALLATION GUIDE - REMOTE ACCESS CONTROLLER RAC 4XT • PK3191_10_14
5.4 Programming and Auditing
IMPORTANT:
Programming of the RAC 4XT can only 
be done with the following versions of 
programming device software:
- ATLAS: software version 1.0 or higher
-  Kaba Ilco 780 FDU: software version 
6.40 or higher
- Kaba Ilco FDU 4 (G4): all versions
The RAC 4XT can be programmed using 
either an FDU or ATLAS system. Refer to the 
appropriate steps below based on the hotel’s 
programming system.
NOTE: 
-   If a Remote Programming Interface 
(RPI) is connected the RAC 4XT can be 
programmed directly via the connector in 
the RPI.
-   Unlike Kaba’s electronic locks a 
Programming keycard is not required for 
the RAC 4XT as the system is already in 
programming mode.
FDU Programming
1.   Link the FDU to the DB1 in the RPI box, or 
to the DB9 connector (serial port J5) on 
the controller PCB. Refer to figure 19 for 
the positions of the relevant connectors.
2.  For step-by-step programming 
instructions refer to the Kaba Ilco Lodging 
Access Control Reference Manual.
ATLAS Programming
For ease of programming the IPM kit for RAC 
(PN 064-511161) can be used by attaching the 
IPM to the RAC with the Velcro provided in 
the kit.
-   Cut a piece of each type of Velcro from 
the strip provided.
-   Depending on the configuration of the 
system attach one side of the Velcro to 
either the side of the RPI, or to the side of 
the RAC 4XT enclosure.
-   Attach the other side to the side of the 
IPM.
1.   Connect one side of the DB-9 serial cable 
to the IPM.
2.   Connect the other side to the DB-9 
connector (serial port J5) on the controller 
PCB of the RAC 4XT.
3.  For step-by-step programming 
instructions refer to the ATLAS on-line help 
or the ATLAS Administration manual.
