INTRODUCTION
Your new ADVANTAGE DKS II unit is a high quality, programmable, commercial digital key control station. The unit
incorporates an interface for two remote wiegand keypads as well as an interface for a serial printer. The ADVANTAGE
DKS II unit also employs a random code generator (RCG) and a history buffer which stores up to 1000 transactions. A
true Anti-passback feature is also provided for the end user. The unit incorporates 2 relays on the circuit board. The
relay outputs can be programmed in 1 of 2 ways:
* All ACCESS CODES entered into the system will operate relay A (Default setting).
* When SPLIT RELAY FEATURE is enabled, all codes entered from the master or slave 1 will activate relay A, and all
codes entered on slave 2 will activate relay B.
The relay output times are user selectable from 1 to 99 seconds and provide a normally open (N/O) and normally
closed (N/C) output. Make sure to read and understand all instructions before proceeding with each step.
STEP 1-MOUNTING THE SLAVE UNITS
Mounting the unit to your own pedestal
Your slave units come with a square mounting ange found in the bottom of the box along with four carriage bolts
and four hex nuts. The square mounting ange may be welded to your pedestal and the ange bolt pattern will align
with the back of the unit. Place the unit up to the ange and insert the carriage bolts from the back side. Secure the
unit to the ange by tightening down the hex nuts with a 7/16” socket.
Mounting the unit to an AAS gooseneck (18001) or double height (18003)pedestal
Locate the four carriage bolts and four hex nuts found inside the unit box. Place the unit up to the pedestal ange
and insert the four carriage bolts from the backside. Secure the unit to the pedestal using the four hex nuts and a
7/16” socket. The extra square mounting ange may be discarded.

STEP 2-SYSTEM CONNECTIONS HOOKUP STEPS
(A). Make all your prox slave connections BEFORE you apply power to the master unit. To connect power to your
new desk unit plug the wall tranformer into an outlet and insert the other end in the back of the unit.
(B). Connect the device(s) to be controlled to the appropriate terminal(s)(Relay A or B) on the Communications and
Relays Board.
(C). Double check your connections. When you are sure you have the unit hooked up correctly, apply power to the
unit. If this is the rst time power up, the unit will perform some self diagnostics and setup the memory. The unit will
ash the LED’s several times while it is performing the rst time setup. If everything goes O.K., you will hear a GOOD
BEEP from the unit. If the unit does not perform as above, quickly turn off power to the unit and contact American
Access Systems.
NOTE: THE UNIT WILL ONLY PERFORM THE SELF DIAGNOSTICS AND MEMORY SETUP THE FIRST TIME IT IS POWERED UP.
FROM THERE ON OUT THE UNIT WILL SOUND A GOOD BEEP IMMEDIATELY AFTER POWER IS APPLIED.

USING A SLAVE WITH THE ADVANTAGE DKS II
WIRE RECOMMENDATIONS: 6 CONDUCTOR, 22 GUAGE, TWISTED SHIELDED CABLE
The ADVANTAGE DKS II communicates with two 12-000 slave keypads utilizing wiegand technology.
NOTE: Do not run your gate control wires in the same shielded cable as your slave communication wires.
There are two holes on the back of the unit which are for slave communication wires, and gate control wires. Run
your wires through the holes and under the circuit board and then make your connections on the communications
and relays board. Try to unwrap the foil shield as little as possible to keep as much EMI away from the board as
possible. Be careful that the foil shield does not short out the circuit board. Also be careful that when you close the
unit that pressure is not put on the circuit board, and that none of your wires are hitting the reset button.
Slave connections are to be made on the Communications and Relays board. For slave 1 and slave 2 there are
numbers labeled 1 thru 6. These numbers correspond to standard weigand color codes in this way.
USE THESE COLORS FROM THE SLAVE AND ATTACH THEM TO THEIR NUMBER ON THE COMMUNICATION AND RELAY
BOARD.

USING A PRINTER WITH THE ADVANTAGE DKS II
The ADVANTAGE DKS II incorporates an RS-232 serial interface on board for connection to a serial printer in order to
print out recorded transactions. The transactions may be printed as they occur or the contents of the history buffer
may be dumped out to the printer.
Connecting the printer
CABLE TYPE:
22 gauge, 6 conductor, shielded (BELDEN #9931 or equivalent)
MAX DISTANCE:
50 feet (*) SEE BELOW
Keep the cable run at least 1 foot away from high voltage, transformers, orescence lights, etc. An interface cable,
(63-030), is required to link the advantage DKS II to the printer. Plug one end into the printer receptacle located
on the underside of the printer. Plug the other end into the RJ45 jack on the back of the ADVANTAGE DKS II Unit.
Caution: Do not plug printer phone cable into RJ12 Port labeled CASHon the OM-200 Printer.
Printer Setup
The ADVANTAGE DKS II unit default conguration communicates with a printer at 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, CR valid.
The baud rate settings on the ADVANTAGE DKS II can be changed through software (see programming Series 400).
The baud rate choices are 9600(default), 4800, 2400, and 1200. To test the printer, load the printer with paper, plug the
printer in, make sure the printer is on line and simply enter any 5 digit code less than 65535 from the keypad.
IF USING OUR OM—200 PRINTER ALL DIP SWITCHES ARE OFF EXCEPT #2,#3 & # 7
ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES
NOTE: SINCE THE PROX 2000 II SYSTEM IS BASED ON WEIGAND TECHNOLOGY, ALL CARDS USED BY THE SYSTEM MUST
RESIDE BETWEEN 0 AND 2000. AN ENTRY OF A CARD NUMBER OF 0 OR A NUMBER HIGHER THAN 2000 WILL RESULT IN AN
ERROR.
Depending on which model you have, your unit may be programmed with multiple (5 digit ) access codes. The
maximum number of access codes that can be programmed into the unit is reected in the model number (eg. 24-
100 = 100 access codes). There are two different types of codes; ACCESS CODES & FUNCTION CODES. Access codes
are standard user codes for gaining access onto or into a restricted area. Function codes are assigned a specic
function. The function codes and their descriptions are as follows.

Page 7 American Access Systems / Security Brands, Inc.
FUNCTION CODE DESCRIPTION
“Master Code” This is a 5 digit programmable code between 00000
and 65535 used for gaining access to the program
mode. The factory default is “0 1 2 5 1”.
“Relay A Latch Card” This is a user programmable card(s) used to lock
down (or unlock) relay A. This code will be used to
hold open a gate or door connected to relay A.
“Relay B Latch Card” This is a user programmable card(s) used to lock
down (or unlock) relay B. This code will be used to
hold open a gate or door connected to relay B.
“Sleep Card” This is a 5 digit programmable code between 00000
and 65535 used to put the unit to sleep. In the sleep
mode all codes are disabled with the exception of
the MANAGERS CODES. When the “SLEEPCODE” is
reentered again the unit will wake up.
“APB Code” This is a 5 digit programmable code between 00000
and 65535 used to clear the antipassback status of
specic or all codes in memory
“Second Relay Card” This is a 5 digit programmable code between 00000
and 65535 used to momentarily activate relay B. A
maximum of 5 codes may be assigned for the 24-
100 & 24-500, and a maximum of 10 codes for the
24-1000 & 24-2000.
“Managers Cards” This is a 5 digit programmable code between
00000 and 65535 used to gain access onto the
property. This code will activate the appropriate
relay regardless of the sleep state of the unit. A
maximum of 15 codes may be assigned for the 24-
100 & 24-500, and a maximum of 30 codes for the
24-1000 & 24-2000
FUNCTION CODES
GOODBEEPS, ERRORBEEPS, & QUICKBEEPS
Your unit will beep each time a key is pressed. The “*” key serves as the clear key and a double beep will be heard
when this key is pressed. A “GOODBEEP” is represented by an oscillating high tone. An “ERRORBEEP” is represented
by a single low tone. A “QUICKBEEP” is a series of 5 quick high beeps in succession.
THE RED & YELLOW LED’s
Two different colored LED’s are mounted in the face of the unit. The RED LED will light during the duration of the
relay(s) activation period. The YELLOW LED will light while the unit is in the program mode. During memory clear or
setup both LED’s will ash
RESETTING THE UNIT
Your ADVANTAGE DKS II unit provides two different types of resets, a UNIT RESET, and a MASTER RESET. A MASTER RESET
should be utilized in the event that you lose or forget your master code or if the unit is locked in the sleep, lockA, or
lockB mode. When a MASTER RESET is performed, only the master code will be changed. A UNIT RESET is provided
should it ever become necessary to reset the unit back to the initial factory state. After a UNIT RESET has been
performed the unit will erase all ACCESS & FUNCTION codes from memory and the master code will be set back to
the factory default of 0 1 2 5 1.

Page 8 American Access Systems / Security Brands, Inc.
MASTER RESET
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an entry error, the unit will ERROR and you will have to start over.
(1). Disconnect power from the master board
(2). Reconnect power to the board while holding down the RESET BUTTON
(3). Release the reset button and enter * * * from the keypad.
The unit will issue a GOODBEEP and the master code will be set back to 1 2 5 1. If the unit was locked in the sleep,
lockA, or lockB mode, the unit will be released and returned to the idle state.
UNIT RESET
(!!! WARNING: ALL ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES WILL BE DELETED FROM MEMORY !!!)
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an entry error, the unit will ERROR and you will have to start over.
(1). Disconnect power from the master board
(2). Reconnect power to the board while holding down the RESET BUTTON.
(3). Release the reset button and enter # * # from the keypad.
(4). Enter the MASTER CODE from the keypad. (The unit will go into an endless cycle of
beeps).
(5). Disconnect & Reconnect power to the unit. (The unit will go through the “FIRST TIME
POWER UP” sequence (See “HOOKUP STEPS”, page 5, step C).
THE IDLE MODE
The idle mode is the normal mode of operation. When in this mode the unit sits and waits for data from the keypad.
In this mode you will have approximately 3 seconds between key presses. If this time is exceeded you will receive an
ERROR.
THE PROGRAM MODE
The program mode is the mode of operation in which you will enter, delete, or change your codes or set specic
features of the unit. The program mode is accessed by entering the “MASTER CODE” from the MASTER unit. You will
receive a QUICKBEEP and the yellow LED will come on indicating that you are in the program mode. In this mode you
will have approximately 30 seconds between key presses. If this time is exceeded, you will receive and ERROR and be
exited from the program mode.
THE * AND # KEYS
The * and # keys serve specic functions while in the idle or program mode. The * key is always the clear key and a
double beep will be heard when depressed. You should use this key if you make an entry error. The # key also serves
as a clear key in the idle mode. In the program mode however, it serves as the exit key and will at any time, when
depressed, exit you from the program mode.

“306”
SubMode 306 (TOGGLE 3 STRIKES ON/OFF)
NOTE: From the factory, 3 strikes is disabled.
DESCRIPTION: This feature is desirable to keep unwanted persons from successively entering codes until they “hit” a
programmed access code. By selecting this function you enable a 1 1/2 minute lock out time if 3 incorrect codes are
entered successively within a 3 minute period. When this occurs, the LED’s will ash and a high pitched alarm will be
generated from the unit for 30 seconds. The unit will then shut down for 1 minute.
To toggle the 3 STRIKES feature on and off enter the 5 digit “MASTER CODE” followed by submode “306”. At this time
the unit will respond with a QUICK BEEP if the 3 strikes is currently enabled. If you wish to toggle the state, reenter the 5

will exit the program mode if the second master code is incorrect.
“307”
SubMode 307 (TOGGLE SPLIT RELAY ON/OFF)
NOTE: From the factory, SPLIT RELAY is disabled. Also if using only one slave connect it to the SLAVE 2 terminals.
DESCRIPTION: The split relay feature is desirable when an entry and exit gate exist with a master/slave operating on
two different outputs. When this feature is enabled all access codes entered from the master unit and slave 1 will
activate relay A and all access codes entered from slave 2 will activate relay B.
To toggle the SPLIT RELAY feature on and off enter the 5 digit “MASTER CODE” followed by submode “307”. At this time
the unit will respond with a QUICK BEEP if the split relay feature is enabled. If you wish to toggle the state, reenter the 5
digit “MASTER CODE” other wise press # to exit.

will exit the program mode if the second master code is incorrect.
“308”
SubMode 308 (TOGGLE ANTI-PASSBACK ON/OFF)
NOTE: From the factory, APB is disabled.
ABOUT APB: Antipassback is used to keep end users from passing their codes back allowing other users to gain
access onto the property. The ADVANTAGE DKS II unit incorporates a true Antipassback feature in which an end
user enters his entry code from the master unit or slave 1 and then MUST enter it from slave 2 to exit. If the code is
reentered again from the master unit or slave 1, it will be logged as an error and access will be denied. The same
applies to the slave unit. From the initial entry of the code, the APB status of that code is logged into the system and
each time the code must be entered from the opposite keypad.
To toggle the ANTIPASSBACK feature on, enter the 5 digit “MASTER CODE” followed by submode “308”. At this time the
unit will respond with 2 BEEPS and the red LED will be off if the antipassback feature is disabled. If you wish to toggle
the state, enter a 5 digit “APB MASTER CODE” between 0 and 65535 followed by the “NUMBER OF SLAVES” connected
to the system.
(MASTER CODE) + 308(*) + (APB MASTER CODE) + (NUMBER OF SLAVES)
(*) 1 BEEP AND RED LED ON = FEATURE ENABLED
(*) 2 BEEPS AND RED LED OFF = FEATURE DISABLED
Example: 01251 + 308 + ????? + 2
