TROUBLESHOOTING LOCK CONTROL
The DS5 Relay is a Dry Contact Relay, rated at 12V/1A.
If you are having trouble controlling the LOCK or GATE STRIKE, please
trouble-shoot by using the following procedure:
1.
Test that you receive the correct voltage across the BROWN and ORANGE
terminals of the supplied connection box, as soon as ** is pressed on the attached
telephone.
2.
If the correct voltage is not present investigate all wiring to and from your lock and
power source.
3.
If the correct voltage is present, short across the two terminals and your electric
lock should operate.
If your lock still does not operate, there will be a problem with wiring between
your power supply, electric lock and connection box.
If your lock operates, then the problem is located in the wires of the connection
box, the RJ to RJ lead connecting to the DS5 unit or the relay within the DS5 unit
itself. If possible, please bypass the connection box and the RJ to RJ lead
connecting to the DS5 unit by feeding the two power supply wires of the electric
lock into an RJ45 plug in positions 3 & 6 (ie the pair either side of the center
audio pair).
If the lock then works with **, then the problem is in the connection box or the RJ
to RJ lead connecting to the DS5 unit.
If the lock still does not work with **, then the problem would appear to be within
the DS5 unit.
4.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) caused by SWITCH MODE POWER
SUPPLIES and some low end UPS units (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) can
prevent the ** touch tones from being detected by DS5. TURN OFF all SWITCH
MODE POWER SUPPLIES located near the DS5 controller to test for Interference
and relocate any offending device. If the DS5 Power Supply is connected to an
Uninterruptable Power Supply, remove it and test if the problem is resolved.
5.
IMPORTANT NOTE - You must not use the Power Adaptor supplied with DS5
to power your Door Lock or Strike.
