Feedback and Entry Overview
The DK-38 comes with LED indicator lights above the keypad; green, yellow, and red. These
three indicator lights and the backlight provide feedback during operation. When the DK-38 is in
Wiegand mode there is no yellow feedback light when connected to an access controller. The
yellow light is designed to work with the Securitron DKC Digital Keypad Controller. The three
indicator lights are intended for operation through an access controller either through a dry-
contact connection to ground or an open-collector driver. Please refer to the access controller for
information about the meaning of the indicator lights. The table below is only for use with
Securitron DKC controller.
