If the postal switch will not activate the relay on your DKS Intercom System, ensure that the wire-tie has been clipped off the postal switch and that the relay has been programmed for postal switch input.
Why can't I get into programming mode on my DKS Intercom System?
You may not be able to enter programming mode on your DKS Intercom System because the wrong master code was entered (start over), you are waiting too long between pushing buttons (enter information quicker), the keypad is not plugged into the board correctly (cable points down), or the memory chips are installed upside down.
What to do if my DKS 1802-EPD emits a long tone and cancels programming?
If your DKS Intercom System emits a long tone and cancels programming, it could be due to waiting too long between pushing buttons or forgetting to press * first when programming.
Why does my DKS Intercom System have a buzz or noise on the phone line?
A buzz or noise on the phone line of your DKS Intercom System can arise from several factors. Try the following checks: 1. Disconnect the phone line from the system and test it with a handset to see if the line itself is noisy. 2. Inspect for shorts to ground behind the circuit board or pinched wires near the door hinge. 3. Check for a 16-volt power or phone line shorted to ground. 4. Ensure phone wires are twisted and the correct type was used for outdoor/underground applications. 5. Verify all wires, speaker, and keypad are isolated from ground. 6. Confirm the cabinet is properly grounded and that case ground (terminal 3) isn't used as a low voltage common. 7. Check for excessive voltage drop on the 16 VAC power.
Why is my DKS 1802-EPD ringing or howling from the speaker?
Ringing or howling from the speaker of your DKS Intercom System may be due to feedback improperly adjusted or the volume being set too high. Try adjusting the feedback and volume.
What to do if my DKS Intercom System door strike locks on?
If the door strike locks on your DKS Intercom System, it could be due to excessive voltage-drop on the 16 VAC line, using a transformer with too low VA rating or the relay strike time programmed too long. Check these settings and components.
How to make switch 2 input activate the relay on my DKS 1802-EPD?
To make switch 2 input activate the relay on your DKS Intercom System, reprogram switch input 2 to activate the relay.
What should I check if the relay activates, but the gate operator won't open on my DKS 1802-EPD Intercom System?
If the relay activates but the gate operator will not open on your DKS Intercom System, reprogram the relay strike time for a longer period. Also, check the wiring to the gate operator and the gate operator itself.
Why won't rotary dial 9 activate the relay on my DKS Intercom System?
If rotary dial 9 will not activate the relay on your DKS Intercom System, adjust the click sensitivity.
Why won't touch-tone 9 activate the relay on my DKS Intercom System?
If touch-tone 9 will not activate the relay on your DKS Intercom System, try the following: 1. Re-program the tone-open number to 9. 2. If the resident phone emits a short pulse rather than a long tone, press 9 twice in rapid succession (99). 3. Try another phone that is known to work. 4. Lower the speaker volume and re-adjust feedback.
