Important Notices FCC – United States This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
General Information • Prior to beginning the installation of the telephone entry system, we suggest that you become familiar with the instructions, illustrations, and wiring guidelines in this manual. This will help insure that you installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner. •...
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION Installation of the Access Plus Access Control System involves the installation of the hardware and the wiring of these compo- nents. Be sure that all dirt, metal or wood debris is removed from inside after mounting it. Any debris inside could damage the control board and cause the 1838 to malfunction during operation.
1.2 Install Enclosure 1. Mount the enclosure using the mounting holes provided in the corners (see section 1.3 for dimensions). Be sure that mounting screws (Not supplied) do not protrude into the enclosure where they could cause a short on the back of the circuit board.
1.3 Mounting Dimensions If used to control a door or pedestrian gate, try to locate the access controller as close as possible to the entry point. The unit should be mounted on a rigid wall to prevent excessive shock and vibration from closing doors or gates. Continuous vibration and shock from slamming doors or spring-loaded pedestrian gates will damage the circuit board.
1.4 16.5 VAC Power Wiring ONLY! The 1838 operates ONLY on 16.5 VAC. DO NOT power the unit with 24 volt AC power. Use the supplied power transformer, 16 VAC, 20 VA (or U.L. listed equivalent) to power the system. DO NOT power any other devices (electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc.) from the unit’s power transformer.
1.6 “OPTIONAL” Telephone Line Wire Be sure to observe electrical safety when working with phone lines. Phone lines carry electricity and the ring voltage can deliver a substantial jolt. In most older residences and buildings, the phone cable contains four wires; green, red, black, yellow. The green and red are twisted to make one pair and the black and yellow are twisted to make another pair (This allowed for the addition of a second phone line since telephones use only two wires).
1.7 Wire 1838 to “OPTIONAL” Telco Line If the 1838 will be programmed from your computer using a Phone modem or programmed and/or relay activation from a remote touch-tone telephone, a dedicated telephone line MUST be connected to the 1838. Note: All 1838 RJ-45 jack connec- tions (direct or internet) to program the unit DO NOT use a “Telco”...

RS-485 Configurations CORRECT Configuration Samples 4000 ft Maximum (3/4 Mile) RS-485 Device Addresses The Access Plus system can be wired in the middle of the “Daisy Chain” if needed. It is important that the distance restriction (4000 ft) be observed and that the devices at the end Every RS-485 device (keypad, card reader, MicroPlus RF of the chain have their termination switches ON.
1.9.2 Network Connections There are a number of ways to communicate with the 1838 via a network connection. Before any programming can be attempted, you need to install the Access Plus programming software on the computer you want to use for this purpose. The computer must have a network card installed.

Through the Internet (WAN) • Through the internet with a static IP address. This is a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection and will require a router and a DSL or cable modem with an internet connection. • Through the internet with a dynamic IP address. This is a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection and will require a router and a DSL or cable modem with an internet connection.
1.9.3 Phone Modem Connection The 1838 has a dedicated phone line. A PC MUST be connected to a separate phone line to program the 1838. Phone Modem Connection: DIFFERENT 1838 and PC connected on phone lines. Te le ph on e DEDICATED Phone Line To “Phone In”...
SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING Before You Start Programming: IMPORTANT! Make sure the 1838 has power and we strongly suggest that you become familiar with these programming instructions before beginning any programming of the 1838. The unit has been programmed at the factory with many of the programming parameters already set (default setting) for a typical application.
2.2 Programming Methods The 1838 can be programmed from a computer, the system keypad (Keypad in the unit) or from a touch-tone telephone (Telco phone line MUST be connected to 1838). 1 9 7 2 -0 C VO 1 9 7 0 -0 Direct “System Keypad”...
2.3 Programming the Network Setup for a Computer Before proceeding with any of the programming steps in this section, install the Access Plus Management software on the computer (PC ONLY) that will be used for this purpose. Be sure that the computer has a network card installed, or a modem installed in it (or connected to it) depending on which connection method will be used.
2.3.3 Set the Gateway (Router) IP Address (reboot required) Factory setting is: 192.168.001.001 If the unit is connected directly to the computer with a crossover cable, then this address must be set to 000.000.000.000. If the unit is connected to the computer through a router, then set this value to the router’s IP address. Valid value for any of the three digit numbers is 000 to 255.
2.4 System Parameters Programming IMPORTANT! We strongly suggest that you read these programming instructions in their entirety before beginning any manual programming of the 1838. The programming table on the next page provides a quick reference to: Programming from the System Keypad Follow the programming instructions as described in each section of this manual.
N / A Note: Program section numbers have been intentionally skipped that DO NOT apply to the 1838 Access Plus system in this manual. This allows ALL of the Access Plus manuals to remain in sync with each other when referencing programming numbers.
2.4.7 Relay Strike Time Factory setting for Relays 1 and 2 is 01 (1 Second). Relays 3 through 8 are not set. These steps will program the system relay strike times. Strike times can be programmed from 1/4 second - enter 0 0 * in step 3, up to 99 seconds - enter 9 9 * in step 3. System relays 1 and 2 are the two relays on the 1838’s main circuit board.
2.6 Access Codes to Operate Access Control Devices Note: All access codes are five (5) digits in length. 2.6.4 Device Access Code Programming “Time Zone Restricted” This programming sequence programs access codes into the system memory with time zone restrictions. It also allows programming of the access codes to momentarily activate a relay or to hold open (latch) a relay.
2.7 Time Functions 2.7.1 Time and Date Calendar Chip Programming This programming sequence programs the calendar chip in the 1838 for the current time and date. The calendar chip must be programmed if any of the time related features are going to be used. Note: The clock / calendar chip in the 1838 will keep time for approximately 48 hours if power to the system is lost or removed.
2.7.6 Access Code Time Zone Programming (Up to 4 zones) Factory setting in step 3 is 0 (Time Zones are OFF). This programming sequence sets up time zones (up to 4) that can be applied to the “Access Codes” programmed in section 2.6.4 into the 1838.
SECTION 3 - USER INSTRUCTIONS Interface Board LED Status RS-485 RX - Green LED indicates that the system is on-line and scanning the RS-485 devices. BAD DNS - Yellow LED indicates an email server problem, rejecting the mail server. LAN DOWN - Red LED indicates a problem with the LAN. IP or Gateway (router) down or wrong gateway IP address. PHONE LINE IN USE - Yellow LED indicates that the phone line is being used (dial-out, call forwarding, etc.).
3.1 Remote Touch-Tone Phone Operation 3.1.1 Remote Programming Applicable only if a telephone line is connected to the 1838. The 1838 can be programmed and operated from a touch- tone telephone. Be sure that the ability for the 1838 to answer an incoming call has not been disabled (section 2.4.9). Note: The master code cannot be programmed remotely, it can only be programmed from the system keypad (section 2.1).
4.2 Troubleshooting Table Symptom Possible Solution(s) Board does not power up. • No power. Check for 16 VAC input power. • If OV LED is ON, input voltage is too high. Insure that the transformer connected to the input terminals is 16 VAC.
