INDICATOR ACTION 

MEANING 

Red Light 

Single Flash 

 

While in programming mode an error was made during 
program entry; or 

 

A 5 second timeout occurred at any time during a 
programming step. 

Red Light 

Double Flash 

 

While in programming mode a confirmation that a valid 
program entry was made; or 

 

During normal operation the DK-38 was put into or 
taken out of lockout mode. 

Red Light 

Continuously 

On 

 

During normal operation the relay is energized while the 
DK-38 is in relay timer mode. 

Red Light 

Continuously 

On 

 

While in normal operation the DK-38 is in passage 
mode; or 

 

The DK-38 is in toggle mode and the relay is energized. 

Yellow Light 

Continuous 

Flashing 

 

While in programming mode the light will flash once per 

second. 

Yellow Light 

Continuously 

On 

 

While in normal operation this indicates that there are 

no codes in memory. 

Green Light 

Single Flash 

 

Key press detected. 

Green Light 

Continuously 

On 

 

While in normal mode a 30-second lockout occurred 

after 16 wrong digits were entered; light turns off after 
lockout time. 

Backlight Double 

Flash 

 

While in normal mode a valid code was entered while 

the DK-38 was in lockout mode. 

 

Note the table above is for use with Securitron DKC controller. 

 
The DK-38 is provided with a beeper that can be used to indicate when a button is pressed or 
the relay is energized. The beeper functions are detailed in the table below and are valid for use 
with the Securitron DKC Controller. Note that when shipped from the factory there is a paper 
label applied to the top of the beeper. This label decreases the volume of the beeper. If more 
volume is needed simply remove the label from the beeper to obtain maximum volume. 

 

INDICATOR MEANING 

Single short 
beep 

 

A button press; or 

 

Entry into Programming Mode 

Single long 
beep 

While in normal operation: 

 

User ID entered is greater than 65535 no transmission occurred; or,  

 

Six digits were entered; no transmission occurred 

While in Programming Mode: 

 

An error or non-acceptance of a new facility code has occurred 

Double beep 

While in Programming Mode: 

 

Acceptance of a new facility code in Wiegand Mode  

 

Changing from Wiegand to Character Mode  

 
When entering a sequence the DK-38 has a 5 second timeout that will erase the internal buffer 
when a key is not pressed within 5 seconds. For example, if the correct code is 2-2-6-7 and the 
user enters 2-2-6 followed by a 5 second delay and then enters 7 the DK-38 will not operate.
