Stand Alone Access Control Solutions From Securitron and Essex


The DK-26 is also available with a Wiegand output so that the PIN codes can be sent to external equipment. The DK 26W does not provide relay outputs or any other of the features of the DK-26, just a Weigand output.

The DK 26 offers what is referred to as a ‘Hard Code’ as well as fixed code programming.

Employ fixed programming in a situation where the end user is not likely to ever change the code, or at least that changes would be rare. Fixed programming can be used in lower security “traffic control” applications, as the longer the code remains unchanged, the greater the risk that an unauthorized person will be able to learn it.

The DK-26 makes it simple for you to program the unit in this “fixed” way. You will utilize a push button set, single code called the “Hard Code.” To delete the Hard code, press the “Hard Code” button on the CPU board, confirm that you are in hard program mode (slow yellow flash) and press the Bell key or wait 30 seconds.

Keypad Changeable Code Programming: In this application, two codes are programmed into the DK-26. The first, called the Program Code, acts as a password which allows changing the User code.

Thee User code is employed regularly to gain access. Knowledge of the Program code should be restricted to security management as its only use is to change the User code. With this method of operation, higher security is obtained because the end user can change the User code regularly or any time he feels it has been compromised.
