USING A SLAVE(S) WITH THE ADVANTAGE DKS II
MAX. Distance = 500ft. for each slave
The ADVANTAGE DKSII communicates with two 12-000 slave keypads utilizing wiegand technology. Each slave needs
it’s own 6 conductors ran back to the master unit to connect to the communications and relays board. Please see
instruction manual included with the 12-000.
NOTE: Do not run your gate control wires in the same shielded cable as your slave communication wires.
Slave connections are to be made on the Communications and Relays board. (22 gauge 6 conductor twisted
shielded pair is recommended for communication BELDEN 9931 or equivalent) For slave 1 and slave 2 there are
numbers labeled 1 thru 6. These numbers correspond to standard weigand color codes in this way. USE THESE
COLORS FROM THE SLAVE AND ATTACH THEM TO THEIR NUMBER ON THE COMMUNICATION AND RELAY BOARD. Try to
unwrap the foil shield as little as possible to keep as much EMI away from the board as possible. Be careful that the
foil shield does not short out the circuit board. Connect your shield to a good earth ground.

USING A PRINTER WITH THE ADVANTAGE DKS II
The ADVANTAGE DKSII incorporates an RS-232 serial interface on board for connection to a serial printer in order to
print out recorded transactions. The transactions may be printed as they occur or the contents of the history buffer
may be dumped out to the printer.
Connecting the printer
CABLE TYPE:
22 gauge, 6 conductor, shielded (BELDEN #9931 or equivalent)
MAX DISTANCE:
50 feet (*) SEE BELOW
Keep the cable run at least 1 foot away from high voltage, transformers, florescence lights, etc.
An interface cable, (63-034), is required to link the ADVANTAGE DKSII to the printer. Plug one end into the printer
receptacle located on the underside of the printer. Plug the other end into the RJ45 jack on the back of the
ADVANTAGE DKSII Unit.
Printer Setup
The ADVANTAGE DKSII unit default configuration communicates with a printer at 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, CR valid.
The baud rate settings on the ADVANTAGE DKSII can be changed through software (see programming Series 400).
The baud rate choices are 9600(default), 4800, 2400, and 1200. To test the printer, load the printer with paper, plug the
printer in, make sure the printer is on line and simply enter any 5 digit code less than 65535 from the keypad.
IF USING OUR OM—200 PRINTER ALL DIP SWITCHES ARE OFF EXCEPT #2,#3 & # 7
ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES
ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES
NOTE: SINCE THE ADVANTAGE DKSII SYSTEM IS BASED ON WIEGAND TECHNOLOGY, ALL CODES USED BY THE SYSTEM
MUST RESIDE BETWEEN 0 AND 65535. AN ENTRY OF A HIGHER NUMBER WILL RESULT IN AN ERROR.
Depending on which model you have, your unit may be programmed with multiple (5 digit ) access codes. The
maximum number of access codes that can be programmed into the unit is reflected in the model number (eg. 24-
100 = 100 access codes). There are two different types of codes; ACCESS CODES & FUNCTION CODES. Access codes
are standard user codes for gaining access onto or into a restricted area. Function codes are assigned a specific
function. The function codes and their descriptions are as follows.
