Function and purpose

The KMS-30 is a versatile sensor designed to detect the opening of doors, windows, garage doors, rack doors, IT rack doors, server cabinets, and enclosures where magnetic contact surveillance is required. It operates by detecting the separation of two magnetically connected parts—one mounted on the door or window, and the other on the frame.

This sensor can be connected to any dry contact input terminal of Vutlan monitoring systems, and it is also compatible with third-party controllers. As a basic alarm system component, the KMS-30 requires no additional power supply.

Used for

The KMS-30 Magnetic Door and Window Sensor is used for:

  1. Access Monitoring Control: Detects the opening of doors, windows, server rack doors, and enclosures, providing alerts when entry points are accessed. Ideal for securing IT rooms, server cabinets, and other restricted areas.

  2. Security Surveillance / Intrusion detection: It can detect unauthorized access attempts by monitoring ggarage doors, gates, and other larger access points, ensuring security for both residential and commercial settings.

  3. Rack and Cabinet Security: Ensures secure monitoring of IT racks, server cabinets, and enclosures, crucial for data centers and facilities with sensitive equipment.

  4. Integration with Alarm Systems: Compatible with Vutlan and third-party monitoring systems, it triggers alerts when access points are breached.

The sensor's versatility makes it a practical solution for a wide range of environments where monitoring access points is critical.

Connection

  1. Connect the sensor's x2 cables to the 3.5mm power terminal connector as shown in the picture below. Cables may be swapped.

  2. Insert the terminal into the "Dry contact Input" of the Vutlan monitoring system.

Installation/mounting

1

  1. Mount the "Magnet" (which does not have wires) on the door or window using the sticker or two screws supplied in the package.

  2. Mount the "Sensing element" (which has two wires) on the door or window frame.

2

  1. Make sure to align the sensors to each other.

  2. Make sure to turn them to each other as displayed in the picture.

  3. The distance between the magnet and the sensing element should not exceed 8-10mm.

3

  1. When the door is closed, the contact is closed. By default, the sensor is in a normal state. The initial state of the sensor can be changed in the web interface.

4

  1. When the door is open, the contact is closed. By default, the sensor goes to an alarm state. The initial state of the sensor can be changed in the web interface.

Using Groups

There can be a lot of dry contacts and sometimes you just want one triggered event for many of them at the same time. You can create a group and place multiple dry contacts into it. Any element in the group will trigger an event such as a notification for example.

Using group notifications

Introduction

For internal contacts, you can specify the type of behavior (normal or reversive) and specify the type of input. "User-defined type" only affects the icon in the interface. Types can be the following:  airflow, door,  motion, smoke, vibration, water, and no special type (by default).

For dry contacts on the CAN bus, "Alarm" duration control is also available. This holds on an active level when the signal is already removed from the input. This allows you to suppress the instability of the input signal, if necessary.

The dry contacts window is designed to control dry contacts of internal dry inputs, VT440, VT16, and other extensions. The general view is shown here:

To create the logic for an arbitrary group of contacts press the button "" in the upper left corner. This starts with a wizard creating a logic circuit.

As the first step of the wizard, you must select the dry contacts to create a logical scheme.

After you click OK, you are prompted to create a trigger.

image-20240312-135308.png

The trigger can be not created. But in this case, in "THEN" the logic circuit can be used only existing elements.

As the last step, you need to edit and create a logic circuit with the OK button.

Do not forget to save all new settings and logic schemes into flash memory by clicking "" in the right top corner of the interface!
