Testing and Troubleshooting
This section contains information on how to test and trouble shoot both the 5083 and 5084
Control Panels.
5.1 5083/5084 Field Test
This section describes the procedures to field test a 5083 and 5084 Control Panel.
5.1.1 Test the Doorstrike Operation
To test the doorstrike operation on a 5083 or 5084 control panel:
1. Press #.
2. Enter a valid user access code (programmed in section 4.2.2 step 5.)
Note: Keyless entry will only operate if the Door Access feature has been selected as “yes” in Section 4.2.2 step 9.
The display shows DOOR IS OPEN. Verify the door is open. The door relay will remain
active for the “Door Time” (see Section 4.2.1 step 22).
5.1.2 Test the Dialing Operation
This test will require the assistance of a resident caretaker or tenant (referred to as the assistant
in the following procedure).
To test the dialing operation:
1. At the message prompt enter the correct user number of the assistant.
2. When the assistant answers, identify yourself. The phone will automatically hang up when
the “Call Length” has expired (see Section 4.2.1 step 20). Both the tenant and the visitor
will hear a short warning beep 15 seconds before the system hangs up.
3. The assistant will then press or dial 6 on the telephone.
The door strike will remain open for the programmed “Door Time” (see Section 4.2.1 step
22).
Note: The tenant (assistant) can disconnect the phone, before entering 6, by pressing #.
**Important Notice**
Due to wide variations in telephone company exchange switching equipment, Silent Knight can no longer
guarantee that the 5000 Series Apartment Entry System will function properly when used to decode the digit
“6” from rotary (dial type) telephones. For those exchanges where rotary phones will not work, each
apartment must have a Touch-Tone

telephone.
