If the keypad is dead, there could be no power. Check for 16 VAC input power. Also, verify that the keypad is properly connected to the circuit board, ensuring the cable on the plug points down when connected.
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.
What to do if the door strike or gate operator on my DKS 1802-EPD Intercom System holds open?
If the door strike or gate operator holds open on your DKS Intercom System, the auto relay time zone may be enabled. Turn the auto relay feature off or reprogram the time zone. Alternatively, the system may have been given a hold open command; call the system and press the tone deactivate number.
What causes a dial tone to be heard on the speaker after dial out on my DKS Intercom System?
If you hear a dial tone on the speaker after dialing out on your DKS Intercom System, the phone line might be a rotary-dial line. Contact the phone company to change it to a touch-tone line.
Why won't my DKS 1802-EPD Intercom System answer when called?
If your DKS Intercom System doesn't answer when called, ensure the ring pin is installed. Also, check if the number of rings to answer is set too high and reprogram it if necessary. A bad phone line or insufficient ring voltage could also be the cause.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
