VOICE and/or DATA CELLULAR SYSTEM
The
Voice/Data
or
Data Only
Cellular System operates on DoorKing’s cellular network that is hosted on the AT&T 4G LTE network where
available. The system provides voice communication, data communication, or both, depending on the registration plan selected on DoorKing’s
Cellular Server website.
The
VOICE/DATA or DATA ONLY Cellular System
is designed to be used with:
- 1833
,
1834
,
1835
,
1837
, and
1838
entry systems.
The
Voice/Data
cellular system
MUST
be wired to the telephone entry system’s
phone line
(voice) and
RS 232 connection
(data). See page 3.
The
Data Only
cellular system is only wired to the telephone entry system’s
RS 232 connection
(data). See page 3.
The
Voice/Data
or
Data Only
cellular system will work with
TWO
1830 entry systems connected to it. These are designated as
System A
and
System B
. See page 3 to wire 2 1830 entry systems to the cellular system.
System Operating Temperature Range:
-10F (-23C) to 125F (52C).

SYSTEM A
Cellular
System
Installation Steps:
1.
Install and wire cellular system to 1830(s) (page 2 & 3).
2.
Power up cellular system (page 4).
3.
Register cellular system (and 1830(s)) online, this can be
done before or after cellular system has been installed (page 4).
4.
Test cellular system (page 4).
5.
Program cellular system (pages 5 & 6).
6.
Troubleshoot cellular system if necessary (page 6).
Note:
Installation steps assume that a good cellular signal has
been tested at installation location and the 1830 system(s) has
already been setup and functioning including the
master code
and
multiple system programming
if 2 1830s are being used.
Prior to Installation:
An existing cellular phone will be needed to test the signal strength of DoorKing’s
cellular network in the desired installation location (a smart phone is preferred).
Analog modems (Dial-Up)
DO NOT
work on a cellular network.
BEFORE
the cellular system can be installed, the installation location
MUST BE TESTED
for
good cellular signal strength for reliable communication.
TEST
this location using an existing
active cellular phone with
AT&T
phone service.
Note:
Other cellular phone services
use different networks and will not work for testing signal
strength of the cellular system.
Activate the phone near the position where you want the plastic enclosure to be installed. 3-4
bars of signal strength should be indicated on the phone for a reliable signal. If 3-4 bars are
not achievable in that specific location, then try moving the phone around and see if at least
3-4 bars can be achieved and maintained in a nearby location. If a smart phone is being used, try using the browser to connect to a website to
verify good data transfer.
DO NOT install the enclosure in a WEAK or NO signal area.
DoorKing offers an exterior 4G LTE cellular antenna that can
help in areas with weak cellular service (P/N 1514-014 Sold separately). Generally, the higher the enclosure is mounted, the better the reception.
This also helps protect against vandalism. The enclosure should be located to minimize the wire runs to
“SYSTEM A”
1830 telephone entry
system. Keep the wire run between the two devices as short as possible, maximum 100 feet. This allows less chance for lightning surges or other
electrical interference to disrupt the cellular signal.
Keep the enclosure away from any metal.
This can also disrupt the signal. After the 3-4 bar
signal strength has been confirmed (and the smart phone has good browser data transfer if used for signal testing), the installation can begin.
This cellular device cannot
be used for 911 calls.
