Securitron DK-26W Installation & Operating Instructions

Rev. A.2, 1/04

1. DESCRIPTION

Securitron's DK-26W is a two piece digital keypad system designed to output Weigand 2601
format data and therefore integrate into an access control system just as if it was a card reader.
It consists of two components: the keypad and the CPU board connected by a 16 ft. cable. The
rugged stainless steel keypad may be mounted outdoors in any environment as it is fully
weatherproof. The keypad features two active LED's (green and red controlled by the system)
and a beeper.

2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

The first step is to plan the physical location of the two components. The keypad is normally
surface mounted on the outside of the door to be controlled, and the CPU Board is mounted
inside the protected area safe from tampering.
To install the keypad, holes must be drilled for the 2 mounting screws and the cable. A template
is not provided due to unavoidable variations on the cable exit of each keypad. Referring to
Figure 1, note that the top screw engages the slot at the top of the keypad. Once the top screw
has been installed, the location of the cable hole should be set roughly by positioning the
keypad and marking the cable hole point. Make sure the keypad is pulled down firmly on to the
screw. A 3/8" (10MM) hole is then drilled for the cable. After the cable has been pulled through,
the final screw secures the keypad to the wall. Note that 2 alternate bottom screws are supplied
with the unit. One is a #10 spanner head for improved tamper resistance. Alternately the #8
Phillips standard screw may be used. After this, peel the backing of the enclosed Securitron
DK-26 label and affix it to the bottom of the keypad covering the head of the screw. This
not only improves the appearance of the keypad but helps foil casual vandalism. Note finally
that a blank rectangular label has also been furnished. This can be used to cover up the
"BELL" legend if desired.
The CPU Board is furnished in a snap-apart steel enclosure with the board itself mounted on
plastic snap-trak. The CPU Board must be installed in a dry location free of extremes of
temperature and humidity. If the 16 ft., twelve conductor cable that is included is not of sufficient
length, additional cabling can be spliced by the installer. However, a long cable run can give
