DoorKing 1514-130 Manual

WIRELESS TEST RANGE KIT
The DoorKing Wireless Test Range Kit allows easy testing of a wireless signal between a DKS telephone entry system (Models 1833, 1835, 1837
and 1838) and DKS access control devices such as a card readers, keypads, etc.
The test kit can be used to measure the wireless signal loss between a telephone entry system and access control device in desired positions
BEFORE they are installed. Making sure the 2 systems have a good signal between them to communicate successfully in their desired positions.
The test kit can also be used to measure the wireless signal between a new access control device to be installed with an existing telephone entry
system that has already been installed.

BASE UNIT: Must be positioned where telephone entry
system is installed. Base unit adjustments and switches
are the same as remote unit.
Test Units Start-Up
1. Turn Power ON at both units. Note: Keep power turned OFF when units are not in use to conserve battery life.
2. Choose antenna switch setting - dome antenna or long range antenna. Note: Long range antenna can be mounted away from test unit.
3. Set RF ID to same setting on both units.
3. Set RF Channel to same setting on both units.
4. Set RF Range to MAX (full clockwise) on both units.
5. Press program button on both units. LEDs will light (see LED descriptions below).
Test Units LED Descriptions
RF Strength LED (Green LED is the goal):
GREEN LED: reliable signal. LED display reads 75db or less. Good signal for reliable communication.
YELLOW LED: marginal signal. LED display reads 75db - 79db (not recommended), should find a better signal for reliable communication.
RED LED: unacceptable signal. LED display reads 80db or more, must find a better signal for reliable communication.
RF Lost LED: Will remain OFF when signal is detected. Will turn ON when no signal is detected.
RF Sync LED: Will intermittently blink BLUE when test units are communicating. Will remain OFF when no signal is detected.
New Installation Option (NO Entry Systems have been Installed yet)
Place test units where telephone entry system (BASE unit) and access control device (REMOTE unit) will be installed. Test signal, move test
units around if necessary to achieve LED display of less than 75.
Existing Installation Option (Telephone Entry System has been Installed)
Use existing wireless baseboard already installed in telephone entry system (Do not use BASE unit for this signal testing). Place REMOTE unit
where new access control device will be installed. Test signal, move REMOTE unit around if necessary to achieve LED display of less than 75.
Long Range Antenna Note: Locate antennas 12-15ft above ground to prevent any vehicles (trucks, buses etc.) from interfering with
wireless signal.
If Installing a Repeater
Step 1: Test signal from access control device location (REMOTE unit) to repeater location (BASE unit).
DO NOT power up any other wireless devices during this test.
Step 2: Test signal from repeater location (REMOTE unit) to telephone entry system location (BASE unit).
DO NOT power up any other wireless devices during this test.
