DK-38 Installation & Operating Instructions
Introduction
The DK-38 Digital Keypads by Securitron offer Wiegand output for universal compatibility with
access control systems or the DKC Digital Keypad Controller by Securitron. The 3x4 illuminated
keypad features a flush-mount stainless steel faceplate.
DK-38 keypads are shipped in ‘Wiegand mode’ from the factory. When interfacing with
the DKC, please change the keypad to ‘Character mode’ and ensure that ‘Character’ is
selected in the DKC Programming Tool. The advanced programming features available
in Character mode allow a user to customize the operation of the DKC to fit the specific
needs of their installation. Instructions on how to change from Wiegand to Character
mode are found in the
Changing to Character Mode
section below.

Installation
The DK-38 can be installed using one of two wall boxes; a surface mount wall box or a flush
mount wall box. Note that the DK-38 can be used outdoors with the optional rain cover
(Securitron part number WCC) which will allow the DK-38 to be mounted in outdoor locations
not directly exposed to rain or snow. Additionally, when used outdoors a weatherproof gasketed
wall box is recommended (Securitron part number WBB).
Note that the surface mount wall box must be used for the tamper feature of the DK-38 to
operate properly. Once the DK-38 is wired per the wiring diagram in the
Wiring
section of this
document, gently install the spring onto the push button switch with the tapered side of the
spring facing downwards towards the PCB. The spring will allow the tamper feature to operate
with the surface mount wall box.
