1.1 General Information

The DoorKing Model 1816 telephone intercom system provides communication to, and control of, a

door (or gate) for up to 1200 users without the need for a dedicated Central Office (C.O.) phone line.

This eliminates monthly line charges and equipment lease payments to the telephone company. The

system is used widely with housing authority projects and low income housing because the system will

provide all building residents, whether they have central office phone service or not, with communication

and control of the door or gate.

This manual describes the installation and wiring of the 1816 main and auxiliary control cabinets, and

the RJ71 phone block(s) only. For installation instructions on the front lobby panel(s) that are to be

used with the system, refer to the manual that is included with the lobby panel. The main and auxiliary

cabinets should be mounted close to the RJ71 phone blocks required for interfacing the telephone lines

with the system.

Central Office Phone Line.

Although a C.O. phone line is not required for normal system operation, having a C.O. line installed to

the 1816 main control cabinet will allow the use of the advanced features of the system. It should be

noted that this C.O. line is not used for normal lobby panel to resident communication and an access

code is required to utilize the C.O. line. Additionally, if a PC programmable telephone entry system

(DKS models 1833, 1834, 1835, 1837) is used as the lobby panel, installing the C.O. line will enable

programming of the system from an off site location. Order your telephone line at least two weeks prior

to the planned installation date. This will assure that a phone line is available when the unit is installed.
