General Information
Prior to beginning the installation of the telephone entry system, we suggest that you become
familiar with the instructions, illustrations, and wiring guidelines in this manual. This will help
insure that you installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner.
The proper installation of the telephone entry panel is an extremely important and integral
part of the overall access control system. Check all local building ordinances and building
codes prior to installing this system. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local
codes.
When used to control a door or pedestrian gate, try to locate the telephone entry system as
near as possible to the entry point. The unit should be mounted on a rigid wall to prevent
excessive shock and vibration from closing doors or gates. Continuous vibration and shock
from slamming doors or spring-loaded pedestrian gates will damage the circuit board. Under
no circumstances should the unit be mounted directly to a moving door or gate.
ADA mounting requirements for door control. The mounting of the unit shall be in such a
way that the LCD display is positioned so that it is readily visible to and usable by a person
sitting in a wheelchair with an approximate eye level of 45 inches and shall comply with the
following requirements:
1. If mounted vertically or tipped no more than 30 degrees away from the viewer, the
center line of the LCD shall be located a maximum of 52 inches above grade.
2. If the clear floor space allows only forward approach to the system, the maximum
high forward reach allowed is 48 inches above grade to the top of the keypad.
3. If the high forward reach to the system is over an obstruction of greater than 20
inches but less than 25 inches, the maximum high forward reach allowed is 44 inches
above grade to the top of the keypad.
4. If the clear floor space allows parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair, the
maximum high side reach shall be 54 inches above grade to the top of the keypad.
5. If the high side reach is over an obstruction of 24 inches or less, the maximum high
side reach allowed is 46 inches above grade to the top of the keypad.
When used to control a vehicular gate with an automatic gate operator, the telephone
entry system must be mounted a minimum of ten (10) feet away from the gate and gate
operator, or in such a way that a person cannot operate the entry system and/or touch
the gate or gate operator at the same time.
Be sure that the system is installed so that it is not directly in the traffic lane. Goose neck
mounting post and kiosks work well for these type systems. When planning where to locate
the system, take into consideration traffic lane layouts, turn around lanes for rejected access,
conduit runs, power availability, etc.
Environmental factors must also be taken into account. Surface mount units are designed for
direct outdoor installations, however it is preferable to protect them from direct exposure to
driven rain or snow whenever possible. Flush mount and wall mount units must be protected
from direct exposure to the elements. Be sure that ample lighting is provided so that guest
can read both the directory and the operating instructions at night.
This telephone entry system contains a number of static sensitive components that can be
damaged or destroyed by static discharges during installation or use. Discharge any static
prior to removing the circuit board from the lobby panel by touching a proper ground device.

Section 1 - Installation
1.1 General Information
The DoorKing Model 1816 telephone intercom system provides communication to, and control of, a
door (or gate) for up to 1200 users without the need for a dedicated Central Office (C.O.) phone line.
This eliminates monthly line charges and equipment lease payments to the telephone company. The
system is used widely with housing authority projects and low income housing because the system
will provide all building residents, whether they have central office phone service or not, with
communication and control of the door or gate.
This manual describes the installation and wiring of the 1816 main and auxiliary control cabinets, and
the RJ71C phone block(s) only. For installation instructions on the front lobby panel(s) that are to be
used with the system, refer to the manual that is included with the lobby panel. The main and
auxiliary cabinets should be mounted close to the RJ71C phone blocks required for interfacing the
telephone lines with the system.
Central Office Phone Line.
Although a C.O. phone line is not required for normal system operation, having a C.O. line installed to
the 1816 main control cabinet will allow the use of the advanced features of the system. It should be
noted that this C.O. line is not used for normal lobby panel to resident communication and an access
code is required to utilize the C.O. line. Additionally, if a PC programmable telephone entry system
(DKS models 1833, 1834, 1835, 1837) is used as the lobby panel, installing the C.O. line will enable
programming of the system from an off site location. Order your telephone line at least two weeks
prior to the planned installation date. This will assure that a phone line is available when the unit is
installed. The telephone company will require the following information from you:
Type: Touch Tone, Loop Start
Ringer Equivalence: 0.0 A
Jack Type: RJ11C
FCC Registration (US): DUF6VT-12874-OT-T
DOC (Canada): 1736 4528 A
Electrical Listing: Complies with U.L. 294 - ETL Listed
Prior to starting the installation of this system, it is highly recommended that you become
familiar with the illustrations, instructions and wiring diagrams in this manual.
It is recommended that the local telephone company install and wire the RJ71C phone blocks
required with this system.

1.2 RJ71C Phone Block Installation
The RJ71C wiring configuration is not recognized by all telephone companies. For Bell Canada,
which has jurisdiction for Ontario and Quebec, refer to CA-79X jack for interconnect to the 1816
system. For BC Tel, which has jurisdiction in British Columbia, refer to BC Tel CRTC Spec 182 B5.
1. Place the order for the RJ71C phone block installation with the local telephone
company at least three weeks in advance of the 1816 system installation.
2. Order one (1) RJ71C block for every 12 telephone lines that the 1816 system will
inter-connect with.
3. Have all required blocks installed in a common accessible location. This is usually
near the original phone company termination board.
4. Be sure there the RJ71C blocks are mounted within 15 feet of where the main and
auxiliary cabinet(s) are to be installed. The standard length connecting cable
supplied by DoorKing is 15 feet. If longer cables are required, special length cables
will have to be ordered at an additional cost.
5. IMPORTANT!! Complete the RJ71C block identification form in the back of this
manual. This form instructs the telephone company installer how the phone lines
should be wired to the RJ71C blocks. Make copies of the form if more are required.
6. IMPORTANT!! Be sure that the phone company installer labels the blocks! Each
block should be numbered, and the phone number and apartment number should be
written on the inside of the block cover (see example below).
7. Attach the RJ71C block identification form to the inside door of the 1816 cabinet after
wiring is complete for future reference.

1.3 Cabinet, Relay and Component Identification
For identification purposes, the Main Control Cabinet is defined as that part of the 1816 system that
houses the main processor control board, and at least one, but not more than five, relay boards.
Auxiliary Cabinets are defined as that part of the 1816 system that houses one decoder board, and at
least one, but not more than eight, relay boards. Each cabinet is identified with a label and the
system relays that it houses. There can only be one Main Control Cabinet per 1816 system,
however, there can be several Auxiliary Cabinets per system. Auxiliary cabinets start with cabinet 0,
and increase sequentially.
1.3.1 Main Control Cabinet
If the 1816 system is interfacing with 60 or less phone lines, the Garden Style Cabinet will be used
since no auxiliary cabinets will be required. If the 1816 system is interfacing with more than 60, but
less than 156 phone lines, then the larger 1816 Main Control Cabinet will be used. The large main
control cabinet houses the main processor board and 5 relay boards mounted in the cabinet. A
decoder board and up to 8 relay boards can be mounted on the door of this cabinet, which is then
identified (the door side) as Auxiliary Cabinet 0.
1.3.2 Auxiliary Cabinets
Additional cabinets will be required if the 1816 system is interfacing with more than 156 phone lines.
Each cabinet physically houses two Auxiliary Cabinets; 1 Auxiliary Cabinet (decoder board and up to
8 relay boards) is housed in the cabinet and a second Auxiliary Cabinet is housed on the door side.
Since Auxiliary Cabinet 0 is housed in the Main Control Cabinet, these two Auxiliary Cabinets are
labeled as Auxiliary Cabinet 1 and Auxiliary Cabinet 2. Auxiliary cabinets are numbered sequentially
as additional cabinets are added.

1.3.3 Relay Boards
Each Relay Board has 12 relays on it numbered 00 through 11. One relay board is required for every
12 phone lines that the system interfaces with. These relays are identified to the main processor as a
four digit relay number beginning with 0000 and increasing sequentially up to the maximum of 1199.
Each cabinet has a label which identifies the cabinet number and the system relay numbers.
Relay boards in the main cabinet are numbered 1 – 5. Relay board 1 is at the bottom, relay
board 5 is at the top.
Set the board jumpers on the relay board to correspond with the board number. For
example, relay board 1 jumper is set to 1; relay board 2 jumper is set to 2; and so on.
If a relay board is replaced, be sure to set the jumper on the new board correctly. Likewise, if
a relay board is moved to another location, the jumper must be set to correspond to the new
location.

Decoder Boards identify the Auxiliary Cabinets to the main control board by the setting of the cabinet
selector switches on the decoder board. Each auxiliary cabinet installed with the system requires 1
decoder board.
Set the cabinet selector switches to correspond with the auxiliary cabinet number as shown
on the chart.
If a decoder board is replaced, be sure to set the cabinet selector switches on the new board
correctly. Likewise, if a decoder board is moved to another cabinet, the selector switches
must be set to correspond to the new cabinet.

Section 2 - Wiring
Prior to installing wiring to the telephone entry system, we suggest that you become familiar with the
instructions, illustrations, and wiring guidelines in this manual. This will help insure that you
installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner. This telephone entry system
contains a number of static sensitive components that can be damaged or destroyed by static
discharges during installation or use. Discharge any static prior to removing the circuit board from the
lobby panel by touching a proper ground device.
The wiring of the telephone entry panel is an extremely important and integral part of the
overall access control system. Use proper wire for the communication line, power wires, and
be sure that the system is properly grounded. Check all local building ordinances and
building codes prior to installing this system. Be sure your installation is in compliance with
local codes.
Use only the supplied transformers (or U.L. listed equivalent) to power the telephone entry system
(16.5 VAC, 20 VA). Do not power any other devices (electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc.) from this
power transformer. For wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, 600 volt insulated wire. For wire runs
up to 200 feet, use 16 AWG, 600 volt insulated wire.
Use 18 AWG wire for power runs up to 100 feet.
Use 16 AWG wire for power runs up to 200 feet.
Surge protection is recommended. Use DKS P/N 1878-010 or equivalent.
Use only twisted pair wires for phone line wiring. 24 AWG for up to 800 feet; 22 AWG up to
1600 feet.
Electric strikes, magnetic locks, etc., must be powered by a separate power transformer.
Lobby panels are powered from a separate power transformer.
This telephone intercom system requires the use of RJ71C phone blocks. We recommend that you
have the local telephone company install these blocks for you. One RJ71C must be ordered for every
12 phone lines (or fraction there of) that the 1816 will interface with. Give the telephone company
plenty of advance notice of when you will need the blocks installed. You must complete the RJ71C
block identification form(s) in the back of this manual. This is very important as it instructs the phone
company installer how the phone lines should be wired to the RJ71C. Be sure that the phone
company installer labels the blocks. Each block should be numbered, and the telephone number and
apartment number should be written on the inside of the block cover (see example on page xx).
When the phone company installer has completed the RJ71C block identification form(s), attach the
form to the inside of the 1816 cabinet for future reference.
The RJ71C wiring configuration is not recognized by all telephone companies. For Bell Canada
(Ontario, Quebec), refer to CA-79X block for interconnection to the 1816 system. For BC Tel (British
Columbia), refer to BC Tel CRTC Spec 182 B5.
Lobby panels come with their own wiring diagrams. The only connection between the 1816 and the
lobby panel is a twisted pair telephone wire.
