    • S
      Sherry EdwardsSep 1, 2025
      If entry codes are not activating relay 1 on your DKS Intercom System, it is likely that the programmed entry codes are greater than the divide number. Reprogram either the divide number or the entry codes to resolve this.

    • B

      A dead keypad on your DKS Entry phone could be due to several reasons: * There might be no power. Check for 16.5 VAC input power. * The keypad might not be properly connected to the circuit board. Ensure the cable on the plug points down when connected to the circuit board. * There could be a 16-volt power shorted to ground.

    How to fix a buzz or noise on the DKS Entry phone line?
    • D
      Dawn TurnerSep 5, 2025
      To address a buzz or noise on your DKS Entry phone line: * Disconnect the phone line from the system and check it with a handset. If the line is noisy, the problem lies with the phone line itself, not the entry system. * Check for any shorts to ground behind the circuit board. * Inspect for pinched wires near the door hinge. * Ensure phone wires are twisted. * Verify the proper type of phone wire was used, especially for outdoor or underground applications. * Confirm that all wires, including the speaker and keypad, are isolated from ground. * Make sure the cabinet is properly grounded and that the case ground (CGND terminal 3) is not used as a low voltage common. * Check for excessive voltage drop on the 16 VAC power.
