DK-38 Installation & Operating Instructions
Introduction
The DK-38 Digital Keypads by Securitron offer Wiegand output for universal compatibility with
access control systems or the DKC Digital Keypad Controller by Securitron. The 3x4 illuminated
keypad features a flush-mount stainless steel faceplate.
DK-38 keypads are shipped in ‘Wiegand mode’ from the factory. When interfacing with
the DKC, please change the keypad to ‘Character mode’ and ensure that ‘Character’ is
selected in the DKC Programming Tool. The advanced programming features available
in Character mode allow a user to customize the operation of the DKC to fit the specific
needs of their installation. Instructions on how to change from Wiegand to Character
mode are found in the Changing to Character Mode section below.

Installation
The DK-38 can be installed using one of two wall boxes; a surface mount wall box or a flush
mount wall box. Note that the DK-38 can be used outdoors with the optional rain cover
(Securitron part number WCC) which will allow the DK-38 to be mounted in outdoor locations
not directly exposed to rain or snow. Additionally, when used outdoors a weatherproof gasketed
wall box is recommended (Securitron part number WBB).
Note that the surface mount wall box must be used for the tamper feature of the DK-38 to
operate properly. Once the DK-38 is wired per the wiring diagram in the Wiring section of this
document, gently install the spring onto the push button switch with the tapered side of the
spring facing downwards towards the PCB. The spring will allow the tamper feature to operate
with the surface mount wall box.

Separate the wall box cover and base.
Remove the rectangular knockout in the center of the base only if the tamper switch will
not be used.
Drill an opening in the wall through which the wires will be routed.
o If using the tamper switch, drill a hole for the wires ensuring the hole will not
interfere with the operation of the push button tamper switch.
Mount the base onto the wall over the wire opening using the supplied metal screws and
plastic anchors.
Mount the DK-38 to the cover using tamper resistant #6 screws (recommended) or #6
conventional screws. Program the unit prior to securing in place.
Pull wires through the wall/center of the base and connect to the DK-38 wiring terminals
per instructions in the Wiring section of this document.
Push the wall box cover onto the base until it snaps into place.
Flush Mount Wall Box
Cut out an opening in the wall into which the box will be mounted.
Route wiring through one of the four knockouts in the back of the box.
Push the box into the wall and secure in place using the two swing clamps.
Connect wires to the DK-38 wiring terminals per instructions in the Wiring section below.
Program the unit prior to securing in place.
Mount the DK-38 to the box using tamper resistant #6 screws (recommended) or #6
conventional screws.

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 drycontact 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.
