SECURITRON MODEL DK-26 DIGITAL KEYPAD

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. DESCRIPTION

Securitron's DK-26 is a digital keypad system designed for medium/high security control of electric locks. It consists of two components: the keypad and the CPU board connected by a 16 ft. cable. This allows the CPU board to be mounted within the protected area for higher security. Tampering with or even destroying the keypad will not release the door. The rugged stainless steel keypad may be mounted

outdoors in any environment as it is fully

weatherproof. The keypad features true 10 digit operation (keys are not paired), three LED’s and a beeper.

2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

The first step is to plan the physical location of the two components. The keypad is normally surface mounted on the outside of the door to be controlled, and the CPU Board is mounted inside the protected area safe from tampering.

To install the keypad, holes must be drilled for the 2 mounting screws and the cable. A template is not provided due to unavoidable variations on the cable exit of each keypad. Referring to Figure 1, note that the top screw engages the slot at the top of the keypad. Once the top screw has been installed, the location of the cable hole should be set roughly by positioning the keypad and marking the cable hole point. Make sure the keypad is pulled down firmly on to the screw. A 3/8" (10MM) hole is then drilled for the cable. After the cable has been pulled through, the final screw secures the keypad to the wall. Note that 2 alternate bottom screws are supplied with the unit. One is a #10 spanner head for improved tamper resistance. Alternately the #8 Phillips standard screw may be used. After this, peel the backing of the enclosed Securitron DK-26 label and affix it to the bottom of the keypad covering the head of the screw. This not only improves the appearance of the keypad but helps foil casual vandalism. Note finally that a blank rectangular label has also been furnished. This can be used to cover up the “BELL” legend if you don’t intend to utilize the doorbell function and are concerned that people will press the BELL key and expect someone to come to the door.
