Features
The K-1200 Entry Phone is a two-way, handsfree
telephone with 12 buttons for calling individual
residences in an apartment building. The rugged
stainless steel faceplate has a printed directory
housed in a waterproof, scratch-resistant lens.
Each button is beside the tenants name in the
directory so there are no confusing codes to deal
with. Calling a particular tenant is as easy as
pressing a single button. The K-1200 has a built in
speed dialer that can handle up to 12 primary
phone numbers, each with 22 digits. If there is no
answer at the first number, a second number can
be called automatically. Once the tenant answers
their phone, a single touch tone command can
activate the door strike relay. For “no phone line”
applications, the K-1200 is compatible with the C-
3000 no CO (phone line) controller.
The K-1200-EWP shares all of the features of the
K-1200 in addition to Enhanced Weather

Applications
Important: To operate the K-1200 during a power failure, a UPS should be installed.
A. Connecting a Doorstrike to the K-1200 Internal Relay
The K-1200 provides a dry contact output that can be used for operation of a door strike. To use this feature, the
Door Strike Code and Door Strike Time must be set in programming. In this mode, when the Door Strike Code is
detected, the K-1200 will energize the relay for the period of time selected in the Door Strike Time (see
Programming section E, G and H).
If a Postal Lock is required, connect the normally open contacts of the lock to the two white wires coming from the
two pin connector on the lower portion of the control board. When the postal lock is momentarily actuated, the
door strike will energize for the programmed Door Strike Time.
* Note: To prevent unwanted radio interference, route the connecting wires through the included ferrite core.
** Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire
with a maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Cut off stripped ends prior to terminating.

B. Connecting Camera Control to the K-1200 Internal Relay
Another internal relay in the K-1200 can be used to trigger a camera controller. When the K-1200 makes a call,
it will energize the relay and hold it on until the call is done.
* Note: To prevent unwanted radio interference, route the connecting wires through the included ferrite core.
** Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire
with a maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Cut off stripped ends prior to terminating.

C. Using the K-1200 with a C-1000B
In some instances it may be a concern that the Door Strike relay is outside the door. In this situation, a second
controller such as a C-1000B can be used. Be sure to disable the door strike code for the K-1200 (see
Programming section H).
Notes: 1. The C-1000B must be in the “Analog Station Mode” (refer to the C-1000B Product Manual).
2. The K-1200 keyless entry codes can not be used in this application.
3. The K-1200 will hang up during doorstrike activation.

D. Using the K-1200 with a C-3000
For a “No CO” installation, a Viking C-3000 No CO controller can be used with the K-1200. Note, the K-1200 will
need to be programmed on a separate CO line or use the Viking DLE-200B. The door strike can be controlled by
the K-1200 or the internal relay on the C-3000, just be sure to disable the door strike feature in the other unit. The
keyless entry feature of the C-3000 can not be used. If not using keyless entry codes, use the C-3000 to control
the doorstrike. If using keyless entry codes (up to 50), use the K-1200 to control the doorstrike. The K-1200 speed
dial position should be programmed with the C-3000 line selection command “1” to “12”. (Refer to the C-3000
Technical Practice for more details, DOD# 162).

Programming
1. Accessing the Programming Mode with the Security Code
Step 1 Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position (sets unit to answer incoming calls).
Step 2 From a touch tone phone, call the line attached to the K-1200.
Step 3
When the K-1200 answers, listen for the beep(s) and then enter a “#“ followed by the 6-digit security
code (factory set to 845464). A double beep should be heard indicating you have entered the
programming mode.
A. Accessing the Programming Mode
2. Accessing the Programming Mode without the Security Code
Step 1 Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position (sets unit to answer incoming calls).
Step 2 Move DIP switch 4 to the ON position (incoming calls enter programming without security code, see
section B).
Step 3 From a touch tone phone call the line attached to the K-1200.
Step 4 When the K-1200 answers, a double beep should be heard indicating you have entered the
programming mode.
Step 5 When finished programming, move DIP switch 4 back to the OFF position.
This six digit number can be used to access the programming mode. The security code has been factory set to
845464 (V-I-K-I-N-G). It is recommended that you change the security code to a personal 6 digit number. To
change the security code, access programming (see Programming section A). Enter six digits 0-9 followed by
#47. If you have forgotten your security code, follow the steps in Programming section A, 2. Accessing the
Programming Mode Without the Security Code). Note: The security code must be six digits in length and can
NOT contain a
Q
or #.
B. Security Code (memory location #47)
3. Forced Answer to Enter Programming
If the ring signal produced by the central office is non-standard or of low amplitude, the K-1200 might not
detect ring and answer the line, which would prevent the user from entering programming. If this happens,
check to see that DIP switch 1 is ON so the unit is set to answer incoming calls. Then turn DIP switch 4 ON
to allow accessing programming without the security code. Call the line attached to the K-1200. With the phone
ringing, press the “0” button on the K-1200 keypad. The K-1200 should answer the line and you should hear
two beeps indicating that you are in the programming mode. To leave programming, just hang up, or enter
“##7” to disconnect the line immediately. Be sure to turn DIP switch 4 OFF when through with programming.
The access code comes into play when Tenant Initiated Entry is enabled (see Operation). It is a 1 to 6 digit code
making it possible for tenants to allow a visitor to enter in the special case where the tenant calls the K-1200 and
converses with the visitor rather than the visitor starting the entry process by pressing a directory button. The
access code has been factory set to 123456. It is recommended that you change the access code to a personal
1-6 digit number. To change the access code, enter programming (see Programming section A). Enter 1-6 digits
followed by #48. To disable the access code, enter just #48 without any preceding digits. Note that disabling the
access code removes a level of security (see O. Tenant Initiated Entry). Also note that an access code is
required only if Tenant Initiated Entry is allowed (see Programming section O).
C. Access Code (memory location #48)
The K-1200 can be programmed with up to 50 keyless entry codes. This feature allows a visitor to let themselves
in by entering a preprogrammed code on the K-1200 keypad. Each keyless code can contain from 1 to 6 digits
and is programmed by entering the digits into any of the locations #50 to #99. To clear a location enter “#” followed
by the position number without any preceding number. The “Q” and “#” keys can also be used in the keyless codes
by substituting “#20” and “#21” (respectively) when programming a keyless position.
D. Keyless Entry Codes

E. Quick Programming Features
A one or two digit door strike code can be entered by
programming position #41. When in programming, enter
the one or two digit code followed by “#41”. Note: “Q”
and “#” can be entered as valid characters of the door
strike code by substituting “#20” and #21” (respectively)
when programming the door strike code (see section D).
To disable the door strike relay, enter “#41” without any
preceding numbers. Examples of door strike code entries
are shown to the right.

* Cannot contain “Q“ or “#“ (see #20 and #21) ** 45 digits maximum if two numbers are programmed in one memory location
Notes: 1. A single or double beep indicates a valid entry, three beeps indicate an error.
2. “Q“ or “#“, pauses or second phone number selector occupy one digit of memory.
The K-1200 is programmed through the incoming phone line. The programming commands are structured so that they do not
interfere with the commands of a C-1000B controller.
The K-1200 Entry Controller can be programmed with up to twelve 46 digit numbers. Each number can also be programmed with
special features such as pauses, and the Touch Tones “Q” and “#”. Each of the special characters count as a single digit. Each of
the speed dial positions #01 to #12 pertain to the corresponding button on the front of the K-1200. The button “0” uses position #10,
the “Q” uses position #11 and the “#” uses position #12. To program a speed dial position, enter programming (see section A) then
enter the desired number followed by the selected position. To clear a position, only enter a “#“ followed by the position number with
out any preceding number.
The K-1200 also has the capability to dial a second phone number if there is no answer or busy at the first number. This can be used
if the tenant wants the visitor to call their cell phone if they are not at home. To program a second number, be sure that position #43
is programmed with the desired maximum ring time, then enter the first number to be dialed, followed by “#24”. A single beep should
be heard. Next enter the second number to be dialed followed by “#“ plus the memory location. The total number of digits cannot
exceed 46 for each position (45 digits if two numbers are programmed). The following are examples of speed dial number entries:
F. Speed Dial Numbers

The actual time the door strike relay is energized is controlled by location #40. The time can be set from 00 to 99 seconds, (an entry
of “00” gives 0.5 seconds). In order to use this feature, be sure the relay door strike code is set (see section H).
G. Door Strike Time
In some installations, it maybe desirable to limit the length of the call to the tenant. This can be done by programming position #42.
The maximum call time can be set from 1 minute to 9 minutes by entering the appropriate number in position #42. A “0” will yield
a 30 second time. To disable the call timer enter “#42” without any preceding digit.

When a visitor is at the K-1200, they just need to find the name of the tenant they want to visit on the directory and press the associated
button. The K-1200 will then seize the phone line and speed dial the number programmed for that name. When the tenant answers the
call, they can let the visitor in by entering the Door Strike Code on their telephone keypad. The tenant can converse with the visitor for
up to 10 seconds after the Door Strike Code is dialed (to verify the visitor has been granted entry). The K-1200 is able to determine if the
door strike command is coming from the apartment or the caller, to prevent entry using a hand held touch tone dialer. If the tenant chooses
not to let the visitor in, they can simply hang up the phone. The K-1200 will drop the line when busy, reorder, CPC signals are detected,
when programmable maximum call time out, silence time out, maximum ring timers expire or 10 seconds after a door strike activation.
Only the buttons that have a programmed phone number are active (except “#” when used for keyless entry). After a button is
pressed, and the call is initiated, it can be canceled by momentarily pressing any button on the panel. 7
This timer sets the maximum amount of time the K-1200 will look for the call to be answered. If this timer expires and the tenant has
not answered, the call will be terminated or the K-1200 will dial a second phone number (if programmed). The factory setting is 20
seconds, and to disable this feature, enter “00” into position 43.
J. Maximum Ring Time
This time out is started once the call has been connected and is reset every time audio is detected on the phone line. If it expires,
the call will be terminated. This is useful on systems that are silent when the tenant hangs up to assure the K-1200 disconnects. It
is factory set to 10 seconds and can be disabled by entering “00” in position 44.
K. Silence Time Out
This time represents the amount of time the K-1200 will delay before switching back to the microphone mode after it was in the
speaker mode (VOX switching time). It is in 100 msec increments and stored in position 45.
L. Talk/Listen Delay
On some phone lines, a faster rate of dialing is allowed. The dialing speed of the K-1200 can be altered to take advantage of this
faster rate. The normal dialing speed is 5 digits per second and is selected by entering “#30” (factory setting) while in programming.
To increase the speed to 10 digits per second, enter “#31”. If the faster rate is selected, be sure to test each number to assure proper
operation.
M. Dialing Speed
The K-1200 is factory set to hang up if continuous audio is detected after dialing. In most situations this would happen if the tenant
hung up and the service that the K-1200 is connected to provides a dial tone following the hang up. In some instances due to noisy
lines or loud background noise, the call may be terminated before the tenant hangs up. If this occurs, enter “#33” when in
programming. This will disable return to dial tone feature and stop the K-1200 from hanging up prematurely. To enable this feature
enter “#32” when in programming.
N. Hang Up on Return to Dial Tone
See Operation for a functional description of this feature. Tenant Initiated Entry is disabled by default. To enable it, enter programming
(see Programming section A). Enter #38. Also, DIP switch 1 must be turned ON and left in this position to enable the K-1200 to
answer incoming calls. To disable Tenant Initiated Entry, enter #37.
Security considerations with Tenant Initiated Entry: The K-1200 door entry system is designed with security in mind, which is
the reason an access code is recommended in cases where Tenant Initiated Entry is allowed. To understand the need for an access
code, consider the following example. A person walks up to the entry and pushes one of the directory buttons on the K-1200. The
unit looks up the number associated with that directory position and dials it. The phone inside the tenant’s apartment rings, and is
answered by someone who happens to be a guest in the tenant’s apartment. The guest notices that the tenant’s phone is displaying
the caller ID of the number that just called, which is the number of the K-1200. They jot the number down. The guest can now call
the K-1200 at a later time, if DIP switch 1 is on, Tenant Initiated Entry is allowed, the access code is disabled, and they know the
door strike code, they can let themselves into the building. Note that by default, Tenant Initiated Entry is not allowed, but if this
feature is allowed, it is important to program an access code (see C. Access Code (memory location #48).
O. Tenant Initiated Entry
To clear all speed dial positions and set all modes back to factory setting, enter “###“ while in programming. Caution, all previous
programming will be lost. Normally when the K-1200 is in the programming mode, it will hang up the line if no commands are detected

Due to the dynamic nature of the product design, the information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Viking Electronics, and its affiliates
and/or subsidiaries assume no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in this information. Revisions of this document or new editions of it may be issued

If a second number is programmed for the selected tenant, and there is no answer or busy after dialing the first number, the K-1200 will
hang up, pause, seize the line, and then dial this second number. In this manner the call can be routed to a cell phone if the tenant is not
at home. The tenant can still let the visitor in using the Door Strike Code.
It is also possible to talk to a visitor before they press a directory button, and to let them in if Tenant Initiated Entry has been enabled.
Make sure DIP switch 1 is on (Auto Answer, see section Q), and then call the number of the K-1200. The unit will answer and send a
single or double beep. After a single beep, if Tenant Initiated Entry is not enabled the tenant can converse with the visitor but is not able
to use the doorstrike code to let them in. If Tenant Initiated Entry is enabled, the tenant can enter the access code following the single
beep, hear two acknowledgement beeps, and then either let the visitor in using the doorstrike code or hang up to terminate the call. A
double beep after the unit answers indicates both that Tenant Initiated Entry is enabled and that the access code is disabled, so the user
can let the visitor in using the doorstrike code without having to enter the access code, or terminate the call by hanging up.
To use the keyless entry feature, momentarily press or press and hold the “#“ key on the K-1200 keypad. When momentarily pressed, 1
beep will be heard and if held for 2 seconds (or longer), 2 beeps will be heard. In either case, the K-1200 is then ready to accept the
keyless code. Continue by entering one of the previously programmed keyless codes. The K-1200 will pause a few seconds to make
sure there are no more keypad entries, and then actuates the Door Strike relay if valid. If an incorrect code is entered, the K-1200 will
beep 3 times and the user has to start over and enter a correct code.
If a Postal Lock is used, a momentary closure of the postal lock switch will energize the door strike for the programmed Door Strike Time.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Adigital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in
the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone
company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive REN's on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN's, contact the
local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately
shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply
with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has
specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this K-
1200/EWP does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the K-1200/EWP causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical,
the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
