Surface Mount Units - DKS 1812 Owner's Manual

1.1 SURFACE MOUNT UNITS

Surface mount units can be mounted directly to a wall or pilaster or post mounted using a DoorKing
mounting post (p/n 1200-045 or 1200-046). Be sure that the unit is securely mounted and is not
subject to continuous vibration from closing doors or gates.
If used to control a vehicular gate with an automatic gate operator, the
telephone entry system must be mounted a minimum of ten (10) feet away
from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person cannot
operate the entry system and/or touch the gate or gate operator at the same
time.
1. Open the cabinet of the 1812 and carefully disconnect the front panel terminal connector
and the keypad connector. The front panel terminal connector is located in the lower right
hand corner. Do not disconnect the wires from this connector. The entire connector will
come off the board by gently pulling it straight out.
2. Remove four (4) 6-32 a 1/2 round head screws from each corner of the control board.
3. Remove the control board from the housing. CAUTION: The control board contains static
sensitive components. Discharge any static electricity from your hands by touching a
proper ground device before removing the control board.
4. Mount the 1812 housing assembly. Make any conduit connections at this time. Be sure
that the mounting screws do not protrude into the cabinet where they could cause a
short.
5. Route wiring into the housing assembly at this time. DO NOT APPLY POWER.
6. Clean out the back box. Be sure that all dirt, metal or wood debris is removed from the
back box.
7. Remove the main terminal wiring connector from the control board by gently pulling it
straight up. This will make wiring to the main terminal easier.
8. Install the control board into the back box. Secure the control board with the four (4) 6-32
x 1/2 screws removed in step 2. CAUTION: The control board contains static sensitive
components. Discharge any static electricity from your hands by touching a proper
ground device before installing the control board.
9. Plug the front panel connector onto the control board pins in the lower right hand corner.
The red wire goes to the left.1
10. Plug the keypad connector onto the circuit board plug. The cable points down.
11. After pre-wiring the main terminal control board connector (see wiring instructions),
carefully re-install it onto the control board main terminal pins.
