The DoorKing Wireless Test Range Kit allows easy testing of a wireless signal between a DKS telephone entry system (Models 1833, 1835, 1837
and 1838) and DKS access control devices such as a card readers, keypads, etc.
The test kit can be used to measure the wireless signal loss between a telephone entry system and access control device in desired positions
BEFORE they are installed. Making sure the 2 systems have a good signal between them to communicate successfully in their desired positions.
The test kit can also be used to measure the wireless signal between a new access control device to be installed with an existing telephone entry
system that has already been installed.
WIRELESS TEST RANGE KIT
Test Units Adjustments and Switches
Test Units LED Descriptions
Place test units where telephone entry system (
BASE
unit) and access control device (
REMOTE
unit) will be installed. Test signal, move test
units around if necessary to achieve LED display of less than 75.
New Installation Option (NO Entry Systems have been Installed yet)
Use existing wireless baseboard already installed in telephone entry system (Do not use BASE unit for this signal testing). Place
REMOTE
unit
where new access control device will be installed. Test signal, move
REMOTE
unit around if necessary to achieve LED display of less than 75.
Existing Installation Option (Telephone Entry System has been Installed)
Step 1:
Test signal from access control device location (
REMOTE
unit) to repeater location (
BASE
unit).
DO NOT power up any other wireless devices during this test.
Step 2:
Test signal from repeater location (
REMOTE
unit) to telephone entry system location (
BASE
unit).
DO NOT power up any other wireless devices during this test.
If Installing a Repeater
Test Units Start-Up
REMOTE UNIT:
Must be positioned where access
control device is installed.
BASE UNIT:
Must be positioned where telephone entry
system is installed. Base unit adjustments and switches
are the same as remote unit.
Long Range Antenna Note:
Locate antennas 12-15ft above ground to prevent any vehicles (trucks, buses etc.) from interfering with
wireless signal.
TEST SIGNAL Note:
Only the 2 wireless units that are
being signal tested should have power. DO NOT power
up any other wireless devices during testing or LED
display signal may NOT be accurate.
1. Turn Power ON at both units. Note: Keep power turned OFF when units are not in use to conserve battery life.
2. Choose antenna switch setting - dome antenna or long range antenna. Note: Long range antenna can be mounted away from test unit.
3. Set RF ID to same setting on both units.
3. Set RF Channel to same setting on both units.
4. Set RF Range to MAX (full clockwise) on both units.
5. Press program button on both units. LEDs will light (see LED descriptions below).
RF Strength LED (Green LED is the goal):
GREEN
LED: reliable signal. LED display reads 75db or less. Good signal for reliable communication.
YELLOW
LED: marginal signal. LED display reads 75db - 79db (not recommended), should find a better signal for reliable communication.
RED
LED: unacceptable signal. LED display reads 80db or more, must find a better signal for reliable communication.
RF Lost LED:
Will remain
OFF
when signal is detected. Will turn
ON
when no signal is detected.
RF Sync LED:
Will intermittently blink
BLUE
when test units are communicating. Will remain
OFF
when no signal is detected.
