TROUBLESHOOTING: If the controller is having trouble detecting tags, try different
positions for the RX antenna. Raising the detection THRESHOLD with the rotary switch on
the far left of the controller circuit board can remove some of the background noise as well as
reduce interference from Tags talking to nearby controllers.
Holding the tag in a closed fist, pass the Tag slowly through all the areas that you need the field to
cover twisting your wrist back and forth slowly as you move. DON”T FORGET DOWN BY
THE FLOOR. The device should continue to beep at a steady rate. An uneven rate indicates that
the controller is not able to read the tag successfully every time. The final step is to ensure that the
field does not extend into other rooms or areas that are regularly occupied by tags. These tags
could inadvertently keep a controller in an alarm state.
3.1.3. FINALIZE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
Fasten SRA exciter antenna. If installing the SRA above a ceiling tile, use a marker pen to draw an
outline of the SRA in its desired position on the upper side of the tile. Once you are certain of the
SRA location, use a small amount of “Liquid Nail”, “Firestone 500”, silicone caulk, or similar
product to cement the SRA to the tile, preventing it from falling on the floor should the tile be
lifted for any reason.
If the SRA is to be dropped inside a wall cavity, do not let it hang on the coax cable nor hang so
low that it touches the bottom steel plate. Loop the coax cable and wrap a band of electrical tape
around it as shown below. Ensure the SRA will hang at the correct height by marking the cable
prior to dropping the SRA inside the wall. Secure the cable when the SRA is hanging in the correct
position.

Mount the Controller permanently and position the RX antenna. Mount the user interface device(s)
where planned
The DKX and the PINPAD panels are designed for flush wall mounting in a standard 2-gang elec-
trical box. Should surface mounting be necessary, an optional SMB box is available. Adjust the
sound level for the beeper by moving the jumper on the back of the panel to the next set of pins
until the desired sound level is achieved. Should a louder local alarm be desired, either use a Wire-
mold box extension and break out the knock out holes before mounting the panel, or remove the
Piezo and relocate it above the ceiling so the Piezo opening has a direct path into the corridor.
The Keypad installation is similar to the above except it only needs a 1-gang electrical box. Also,
there is no volume control for the beeper on the Keypad.
Install door switch. Hook up Maglock and any peripheral devices. Make sure the Maglock will re-
lease in case of a Fire Alarm.
Power up and test the field again.
