The By-Pass board IS NOT optional when using an incoming telephone line or internet (Telephone Mode) –...
1.3 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. The best policy is to disconnect the house phone from the phone company Network Interface Device (also known as ‘Demarcation Device’) before working on the wiring.
1.4 Power Wiring The 1812 Classic operates ONLY on 24 VAC. Use the supplied power transformer, 24 VAC, 20 VA (or U.L. listed equivalent) to power the telephone entry system. DO NOT power any other devices (electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc.) from the 1812’s power transformer.
30 VAC maximum. (14-16) Power (17-18) The 1812 Classic operates ONLY on “Normally Close” with Maglock 24 VAC. Use the supplied power (Terminal 15 and 16) transformer, 24 VAC, 20 VA (or UL “Normally Open” with Electric Strike...

For easy reference, refer to the chart on page 22 that list the various programming functions and their default settings. 2.1 Programming Methods The 1812 Classic can be programmed from the system keypad (Keypad on the 1812) or from a touch-tone telephone connected to the system.
Programming Documentation Note: There are programming log sheets in the back of this manual to document your specific master code, and keep track of all other programming that is preformed to this 1812 Classic. Keep this with all other system documentation for future reference.
Wait 30 seconds before calling back to program another feature. Off-Site Touch-Tone Telephone Follow these steps when programming the 1812 Classic from an Off-Site Touch-Tone Telephone. IMPORTANT The 1812 must have “Answer incoming call - enabled”, section 2.3.7.
2.3.1 Phone Mode or Intercom Mode Factory setting is 1 (Phone Mode). The 1812 is normally connected in series with a homeowner's incoming phone line, which supplies a constant source of DC voltage. When the 1812 is connected in this manner, program the unit for PHONE mode. If the 1812 is to be connected to an open C.O.
2.3.4 Relay Strike Time Factory setting for Relays 1 and 2 is 01 (1 Second). System relays 1 and 2 are the two relays on the 1812 main circuit board. These steps will program relay 1 and relay 2 strike times.
2.3.6 Answer Incoming Call on X Rings Factory setting is 12 (12 Rings). This programming section sets the number of rings that the 1812 will allow to pass through the system before it picks up the call to allow remote programming or remote relay activation of the system. The number of rings to answer can be set from 1 to 99 rings and must be entered as a two-digit number.
2.4.3 Automatic Relay Activation Time Zones Programming 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.
2.4.5 Call Forward Time Zone Programming This programming sequence sets up a time zone for the call-forward feature. The 1812 must also have a call forward phone number programmed into the 1812 memory (2.5.1). The call forward feature must be disabled (2.5.2) and the call forward time zone feature must be enabled (4.6).
2.5 Programming Dial-Out Functions 2.5.1 Call Forward Phone Number Programming These steps program the call forwarding telephone number into the 1812 memory. Call forwarding can only be used when the 1812 is programmed in phone mode (see 2.3.1). To Enable/Disable call forward see 2.5.2 below. The call forward phone number can also be set up for a time zone activation (2.4.5).
2.6 Access Codes to Operate Access Control Devices 2.6.1 Access Code Programming This programming sequence programs four-digit “Access Codes” into the system memory. The access codes will operate either relay 1 or relay 2 with a specific function depending on the “location code”number that is choose from the table below for every access code programmed.
SECTION 3 - ADJUSTMENTS Speaker Volume The speaker volume potentiometer is labeled SPEAKER VOL on the control board. The speaker volume should be adjusted for adequate sound. Adjusting the speaker volume too loud could cause feedback from the microphone. 1. Open the front of the telephone entry system and locate the speaker volume adjustment. 2.
SECTION 4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Calling the Homeowner’s Phone from the 1812 To place a call from the 1812 to the homeowner's house, the guest simply presses the PUSH TO CALL button located on the faceplate, see previous page. Once the guest has been identified by voice communication, the homeowner may grant them access by pressing the appropriate tone open number, or they may deny access by simply hanging up or dialing 7 for relay 1, see below.
4.4 Access Codes The access codes will operate either relay 1 or relay 2 with a specific function depending on the “location code”number that is choose from the table in section 2.6.1 for every access code programmed. 1. Press #. 2.
4.6 Call Forward Time Zone - Enable / Disable To use the call forward time zone feature, be sure that a call forward time zone has been programmed into the system (2.4.5), call forward phone number is programmed (2.5.1) and that the call forward is disabled (2.5.2). This will cause the 1812 to check the time zone before forwarding any calls to the forward phone number.
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. 1. Pick up homeowner's telephone and press 7.
