3.3 GENERAL PROGRAMMING
Proceed with the programming steps on the following pages only if PC programming will not be used.
3.3.1 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. If Tracker
expansion boards are going to be used with this system, set Relay 2 strike time to 00 for Tracker
boards 1-8. If more than 8 Tracker boards are being used, set Relay 1 strike time to 00 (for Tracker
boards 9-16).
Factory setting for relay strike times are: Relay 1 = 01, Relay 2 = 01.
1. Press * 0 3 and enter the four-digit MASTER CODE _ _ _ _ (beep).
2. Press 1 * to set relay 1, or 2 * to set relay 2 strike time.
3. Enter the two-digit strike time _ _ (00-99) then press * (beep).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set other relay strike times.
5. Press 0 # TOGETHER to end this programming step (beeeeeep).
3.3.2 Talk Time
The talk time set here does not affect the telephone numbers that are programmed under directory
codes 0, 00, 000, 0000 (input A) and 1, 01, 001, 0001 (input Z). The talk time for these two directory
codes are factory set to the maximum. Phone numbers programmed under these directory codes
should be reserved for management or emergency phone numbers that generally require longer
conversations. This programming sequence can be used to set the maximum time allowed for
conversation when the entry system places a call to a phone number programmed under directory
code 2, 02, 002 or 0002 (inputs A-Z together). The talk time can be set from 1 second up to 255
seconds (4 minutes, 15 seconds) and is entered as a three-digit number. For example, to set a talk
time of 20 seconds, enter 020 in step 3.
Factory setting for talk time = 60 seconds.
NOTE: This programming step is only used when a DKS Remote Call Station is connected to
the 1838 system, and only if the telephone number is programmed under directory code 2, 02,
002 or 0002.
1. Press * 0 8 and enter the four digit MASTER CODE _ _ _ _ (beep).
2. Enter three digits for talk time (seconds) _ _ _ (001-255) then press * (beep).
3. Press 0 # TOGETHER to end this programming step (beeeeeep).
