SECURITRON MODEL DK-26W DIGITAL KEYPAD 

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 

1.  DESCRIPTION

 

Securitron's DK-26W is a two piece digital keypad system designed to output 

Weigand 2601 

format

 

data

 and therefore integrate into an access control system just as if it was a card reader.  

It consists of two components: the keypad and the CPU board connected by a 16 ft. cable.  The 
rugged stainless steel keypad may be mounted outdoors in any environment as it is fully 
weatherproof.  The keypad features two active LED’s (green and red controlled by the system) 
and a beeper. 

 

2.  PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

 

The first step is to plan the physical location of the two components.  The keypad is normally 
surface mounted on the outside of the door to be controlled, and the CPU Board is mounted 
inside the protected area safe from tampering.

CABLE

 

To install the keypad, holes must be drilled for the 2 mounting screws and the cable.  A template 
is not provided due to unavoidable variations on the cable exit of each keypad.  Referring to 
Figure 1, note that the top screw engages the slot at the top of the keypad.  Once the top screw 
has been installed, the location of the cable hole should be set roughly by positioning the 
keypad and marking the cable hole point.  Make sure the keypad is pulled down firmly on to the 
screw.  A 3/8" (10MM) hole is then drilled for the cable.  After the cable has been pulled through, 
the final screw secures the keypad to the wall.  Note that 2 alternate bottom screws are supplied 
with the unit.  One is a #10 spanner head for improved tamper resistance.  Alternately the #8 
Phillips standard screw may be used.  After this, peel the backing of the enclosed Securitron 
DK-26 label and 

affix it to the bottom of the keypad covering the head of the screw

.  This 

not only improves the appearance of the keypad but helps foil casual vandalism.  Note finally 
that a 

blank rectangular label

 has also been furnished.  This can be used to cover up the 

“BELL” legend if desired. 

The CPU Board is furnished in a snap-apart steel enclosure with the board itself mounted on 
plastic snap-trak.  The CPU Board must be installed in a dry location free of extremes of 
temperature and humidity.  If the 16 ft., twelve conductor cable that is included is not of sufficient 
length, additional cabling can be spliced by the installer.  However, a long cable run can give
