Follow these steps when programming the 1812 from an off-site touch-tone telephone. NOTE: The 1812 must be programmed to answer incoming calls. 1. Call the resident telephone number. The 1812 will answer with a short beep after the programmed number of rings.
Complete the 1812 programming using the Auto-Programming Software. However – if the 1812 IS NOT on a shared phone line, then you must program Sections 2.3.5 and 2.3.6. If you are not programming the 1812 using the software, continue with the remaining sections in this...
2.3 GENERAL PROGRAMMING Proceed with the programming steps on the following pages if PC programming will not be used. 2.3.1 Relay Strike Time These steps will program Relay 1 and Relay 2 strike times. Strike times can be programmed from 1/4 second (enter 00 in step 4) up to 99 seconds by entering the desired time in seconds.
PHONE mode. If the 1812 is to be connected to an open C.O. (Central Office) port on a key type telephone system, or if the 1812 is connected directly to another telephone without a C.O. line, program the unit for INTERCOM mode.
Some things to consider when programming this section is to not set the number of rings low as this may cause the 1812 to answer calls that are not intended for it. If the resident has an answer machine on their phone, this may present a problem.
The Do Not Disturb (DND) feature allows the resident to program a time zone when they do not want the 1812 to ring the house phones or to call forward when the call button on the unit is pressed. For example, a resident may program a do not disturb time zone from 10 PM to 7 AM on certain days of the week, or all seven days.
2.4.3 Automatic Relay Activation Time Zones This program sequence sets up time zones to automatically activate and deactivate the relays on the control board. Each relay can be programmed with two independent time zones. Time zones 1 and 2 affect relay 1 operation; time zones 3 and 4 affect relay 2 operation. These time zones can be independently turned on or off after they have programmed.
2.4.5 Call Forward Time Zone This programming sequence sets up a time zone for the call-forwarding feature. The 1812 will automatically send calls to the forwarding number if the time and day are within the time zone boundary and the time zone is turned on. This feature is also dependent on the call forward feature being turned off and the time and day being outside the DND time zone if that feature is enabled.
These numbers are different than the call forwarding number that was programmed in 2.5.1. When a visitor presses 01, 02, or 03 on the system keypad, the 1812 will call the preprogrammed phone number programmed under the specific directory number. This feature cannot be used if the 1812 is programmed in the intercom mode (2.3.3).
2.6 ENTRY CODE PROGRAMMING 2.6.1 Four-Digit Entry Code Programming This programming sequence programs four digit entry codes into the system memory. You can store up to 50 unique entry codes into the system memory, however these codes will perform different functions dependent on the location code that they have been stored in.
NOTE: Feedback 2 is not used when the 1812 is programmed in the intercom mode. 1. Open the front of the telephone entry system and locate the feedback adjustment.
The same process can be used when the resident is talking to a guest at the 1812 and an outside call comes in. The resident can place the 1812 on hold and switch to the outside call.
To use the preprogrammed phone number feature, the guest simply presses 01, 02, or 03 on the system keypad. The 1812 will automatically dial out the specific preprogrammed phone number. Once the call is answered at the other end, that party may grant or deny a guest access by pressing the programmed tone open number or simply hanging up.
To use the Do Not Disturb feature, be sure that a do not disturb time zone has been programmed into the system memory (2.4.2). When the do not disturb feature is turned on, the 1812 will not allow calls from the unit to ring up to the house and will not allow calls to be forwarded regardless of whether the call forwarding feature is turned on or off.
The auto answer feature must be turned on to allow relay activation and programming of the system from a remote location. When the residents phone number is called, the 1812 will pick up the call after the programmed number of rings (2.3.6).
4.11 Relay Activation Check The 1812 can be called to check if relay 1, relay 2, or both relays in the system are latched and holding a door or gate in the open (unlocked) position. Pick up your telephone and press * 7 (beep).
The 1812 has two time zones available as a built in programming function. The external time clock input provides a method to activate a third time zone, but requires an external time clock.
Isolating Noise Problems If noise or hum is present on the residents phone line after installation of the 1812 telephone intercom system, use the procedure on the next page to find and correct the source of the noise. This procedure will require the use of a telephone test set (DoorKing p/n 1800-050 or equivalent).

PHON OUT wires. This completely disconnects the 1812 unit from the circuit. Check the phones in the house. If the noise is gone, problem is with or in the 1812 unit, or with the power supply or power wiring. Reconnect the PHON IN wires to terminals 1 and 2, and the PHON OUT wires to terminals 4 and 5, then proceed to step 5.
• Disconnect the PHON OUT wires and connect a test telephone to the PHON OUT terminals (4 & 5). If the 1812 cannot communicate with the test phone, PHON IN and PHON OUT wires may be connected backwards. Check wiring and reconnect.

5.3 TABLES Complete the information in the tables on the following pages to maintain a record of the information that has been programmed into the telephone entry system if the system IS NOT being programmed from a PC. If PC programming is being utilized, there is no reason to maintain these log sheets since the PC will maintain a complete record of the information that has been programmed.
