KWS500
Although each facility is unique, most installations follow this basic sequence:
• Have your PBX vendor prepare your PBX system for the installation. If you know where the KWS500 will be installed and want your PBX vendor to install the cabling from the PBX distribution frame to the installation site, have them do so. See Section 2 Site Preparation.
• After unpacking the KWS500 and verifying that all parts are present, remove the handsets and chargers from their packaging.
• Charge the handsets. This takes about 3 1/2 hours. See your KIRK Handset’s User Guide for charging instructions. Charged handsets are required for the handset subscription and programming steps.
• While the handsets are charging, first read this manual thoroughly and then perform steps 5 through 8 below.
• Select a suitable central mounting location for the KWS500 installation. See Section 1.5 InstallationRequirements for guidelines.
• Verify the chosen location has 120V AC power available, or provide power to the location. A dedicated, conditioned power source1 within six feet of the location is
recommended.
• If not done on step 1, provide Cat. 3 cabling from the host PBX distribution frame (most likely located in your facility’s “phone closet”) to the installation site. This cabling can be obtained from an electrical supply house. (You may use temporary cabling if the final location is not yet certain.) See Section 2 Site Preparation.
• (Conditional) Cat. 3 cabling contains eight wires for a total of four phone lines. If you plan to use five or more handsets (maximum eight), you will need to run two Cat. 3 cables from the host PBX distribution frame to the KWS500.
• Install the KWS500. See Section 3 Installing the KIRK Wireless Server 500.
• Subscribe the master handset. See Section 4 or 6, depending on the KIRK Handset model chosen to be the master handset.
• Add the remaining handsets. See Section 4 or 6, depending on the KIRK Handset model chosen to be the master handset.
• Check each handset for dial tone and the ability to send and receive calls.
• Perform a walk-through of the facility to verify radio coverage2. If needed, adjust
the position of the KWS500 or contact your KIRK vendor to add KIRK Repeaters for wider coverage.
• Program the KIRK Handsets with special features if desired. See Section 5 Handset Special Features and your handset’s User Guide.
1 AC current from the power company fluctuates and contains electronic “noise”. This can disrupt the operation of sensitive electronic devices and can affect audio signal quality. A power
conditioner smoothes out the power fluctuations and noise.
2 Effective transmission zone of a radio signal, expressed as an area (square feet), or as a distance (linear feet). Radio coverage can vary greatly from facility to facility, depending upon radio signal barriers such as walls, metal doors and cabinets, and interference from other radio signal sources.

Installation Requirements
The KWS500 has specific connection requirements and rules for installation. Following these guidelines is necessary for a successful installation.
Connection requirements
The KWS500 requires cabling from the host PBX distribution frame to the mounting location of the KWS500. Cabling provided should be 24 gauge1 Cat. 3 cable. Distance is limited by the
specifications of the host PBX.
The KWS500 requires one connection to an analog station port 2 on the host PBX distribution
frame for each KIRK Handset. Using the Cat. 3 cabling, analog station ports are wired directly from the host PBX distribution frame to the termination block in the KWS500.
The KWS500 requires a local power connection (standard 120V AC). A dedicated, conditioned power source within six feet of the mounting location is recommended.
At least one KIRK Handset must be charged and available to establish a wireless connection with the system. This is necessary for initial programming of the system. (More in-depth
1 Copper wire with a thickness of 0.02” (0.51 mm), commonly used for telephone wiring and other electronics applications such as speaker wire and computer network cabling.
2 Pair of connectors in a termination block that are dedicated to a particular analog station
(telephone extension) on the PBX system. It is used to transmit analog signals, as opposed to digital signals.
Mount the KWS500 vertically, at least 6 feet high
programming may be accomplished using a laptop PC with the KIRK Administration Program installed, connected to the KWS500 with the KIRK Programming Cable1. Contact your KIRK
vendor for more information.)
KWS500 Base Station installation do’s and don’ts
While surveying for suitable mounting locations, observe the following guidelines for placement of the KWS500 for optimum coverage:
The KWS500 Base Station should be placed in a central position relative to the expected usage of the handsets.
The KWS500 Base Station MUST be placed vertically and right-side up. Vertical orientation may be observed by the KIRK logo on the front of the unit. In addition, the power supply cord connector is located on the bottom of the base station.
The KWS500 Base Station is typically wall mounted and requires a 9” x 9” mounting area. Place the KWS500 between six and eight feet above floor level, or higher.
Placing the KWS500 above ceilings or ceiling tiles is not recommended.
Placing the KWS500 behind furniture or other objects that may reduce radio signal penetration is not recommended.
Painting of the KWS500 or its housing or container (if mounted externally) is not recommended. Paints contain metallic and/or carbon materials that will reduce radio signal penetration. Do not place the KWS500 inside a metallic case. Use plastic enclosures for external mounting. Never mount the KWS500 Base Station to a metallic surface. Metallic surfaces can cause radio signal reflections.
Do not apply power to the KWS500 until you have read and understood the master handset programming procedures and are ready to begin the programming process.
After installation, walk through your facility while in a call on a KIRK Handset to verify the actual coverage provided. The placement of the KWS500 may need to be adjusted to improve coverage. If needed, KIRK Repeaters may be installed by your KIRK vendor to expand coverage.
1 Specially wired cable used to connect a laptop PC (running the Administration Program or the Service Tool software) with a KWS500, KIRK Handset or KIRK Repeater for programming.

Site Preparation
Site preparation includes:
Provisioning the host PBX1 to support the KIRK Handsets being added to the system.
Providing cabling to connect the KWS500 to the host PBX telephone system.
o Cat. 3 cable is required between the KWS500 and the PBX distribution frame. o Two Cat. 3 cables will be needed to provide connections for five or more handsets (maximum eight) for the KWS500.
Ensuring electrical power is available at the KWS500 installation site.
Installing a power conditioner2 as needed to prevent equipment failure due to power
fluctuations. Conditioned electrical power is recommended. Planning the wiring of the KWS500 termination block.
2.1
Site Preparation Step-by-Step
• Contact your PBX vendor and arrange for them to provision the host PBX to support the proper number of analog station ports for the KIRK Handsets
• Save the documentation for the PBX system and analog station ports provided by your PBX vendor. The analog station port numbers, their wire color pairs3, and
PBX extension numbers, are vital for accurate wiring of the KWS500 and registration/subscription of KIRK Handsets.
• Provide cabling from the host PBX distribution frame to the KWS500 mounting location. (To be done by PBX vendor.)
• If a power outlet is not close by, provide electrical power to the KWS500 installation site.
• If the site does not have a conditioned power supply, it is recommended that you install a power conditioner, such as a high-quality surge protector.
• Plan the wiring of the KWS500 using the Wiring Table (see Appendix) and the Cat. 3 Cable Color Pair table.
• Proceed to Section 3 Installing the KIRK Wireless Server 500. PBX provisioning
Your PBX telephone system may require another analog station card, programming, or other preparation in order to support the KIRK Handsets. Arrange for your PBX vendor to provision the PBX system.
PBX documentation
After PBX provisioning, obtain the extension numbers assigned to the KIRK Handsets from your PBX vendor. Save the host PBX manufacturer’s documentation for instructions on the analog

station ports. The guide should include basic PBX feature operation. Keep this documentation in a safe place.
PBX-to-KWS500 cabling requirements
The KWS500 requires cabling from the wired analog station ports on the host PBX telephone system. For each wireless handset in the system, run one pair of wires from an analog station port on the host PBX distribution frame to the KWS500 termination block. This analog station cable should be 24 gauge Cat. 3 cable. This cabling contains four twisted pairs of color-coded wires, supporting four handsets. Cable length is limited by the specifications of the host PBX. Electrical requirements
The KWS500 requires a local 120V AC outlet within six feet of the unit’s mounting location, preferably with a conditioned power supply.
Wiring plan
Use the PBX distribution frame’s analog station port numbers and the PBX extension numbers to plan the wire color pair connections to the KWS500 termination block (see documentation supplied by your PBX vendor). You will need to know the wire color pair for each handset extension number in order to terminate it to the appropriate KWS500 termination block1 port. See
the Wiring Table in the Appendix and the Cat. 3 Cable Color Pair table on page 25.
Because the master handset automatically registers to channel 0, the wire color pair for the master handset’s extension must be terminated to port 02 on theKWS500 termination block (fig 4).
2.2
Completing Site Preparation
Verify that each step of site preparation is complete and the site is ready for installation of the KWS500 system. Proceed to Section 3 Installing the KIRK Wireless Server 500.
1 Connection point for wiring between two electrical devices. For instance, a port is one of eight pairs of connectors on the KWS500 termination block.
3.
Installing the KIRK Wireless Server 500
Prior to installing the KWS500, the Cat. 3 telephone cabling from the host PBX to the installation location must be in place. (If you are performing a preliminary installation with temporary cabling to test radio coverage, connect it to any available phone line, such as a wall jack.) Installing the KWS500 is a simple step-by-step procedure.
3.1
Hardware Installation Step-by-step:
• Open the KWS500 Base Station chassis (fig. 4).
• Remove the T10 Torx retaining screw (fig. 5).
• Remove the main board from the chassis and set it aside in a safe place.
• Place the rear panel of the chassis on the mounting location and use the key-hole mounting brackets to mark the screw insertion points. (fig. 6)
• If using the included Phillips screws to fasten the KWS500 to drywall, pre-drill holes and tap the included drywall anchors into the wall. (If you are performing a preliminary installation, you may use appropriate temporary mounting fasteners and go to step 7. Do not fail to mount the KWS500 with permanent mounting screws once the optimum mounting location has been established.)
• Install the mounting screws, leaving approximately 1/4” exposed.
• Remove one of the four wiring port punch-outs on the rear panel of the chassis (fig. 6).
• Feed the analog station cable(s) from the host PBX through the rear of the chassis (fig. 6). (If you are performing a preliminary installation and do not yet have cabling from the PBX, use cabling to temporarily connect the KWS500 to any available phone jack or connection.)
• Position the cable(s) so the main board will seat properly in the chassis, leaving enough wire available to connect to the termination block (fig. 6)
• Remove the sheathing from four to six inches of the analog station cable(s), to allow room to position the wires to align with the termination block (fig. 6).
• Using the supplied Phillips screws and plastic retainer clip, fasten the cable(s) to the chassis. Position the cable(s) so the main board seats properly in the chassis and there is enough wire available to connect to the termination block (fig. 6).
• Return the main board to the rear panel of the chassis. Secure the main board to the chassis using the single T10 Torx screw removed in step 2 (leaving all of the wires from the cable accessible from the front of the system after the main board is installed (fig. 6).
• Using wire strippers, expose approximately 1/8 inch of bare wire on each wire to be connected. Do not leave excess copper exposed within the unit.
• Referring to your wiring table, note the color coding of the wire pair for the master handset’s extension.
Because the master handset automatically registers to channel 0, the wire color pair for the master handset’s extension must be terminated to port 0 on the KWS500 termination block (fig 9).• Insert a mini screwdriver into the top hole (1) on the left side of the termination block (port
0
) (fig. 7a, 8).• Press down so as to open the spring-loaded clamp in the bottom hole (3). (fig. 7b, 8). This works similarly to the wire connectors found on some stereo speakers.
• Insert the first wire into the open clamp in the bottom hole (3) on the left side of the termination block (port
0
) fig. 7c, 8.• Remove the screwdriver, allowing the clamp to close on the wire and lock the wire in place. Be careful to not clamp down on the wire insulation as this may lead to a poor connection. Pull gently on the wire to check for a firm connection before installing the next wire.
• Add each pair of wires to the termination block from left to right, one pair for each handset, per your wiring table.
• Replace the main cover.
• Mount the KWS500 on the wall by placing the mounting bracket holes over the screws and pulling down on the unit to lock it into place.
• Plug the power supply into the wall socket or other 120V AC power source
• Connect the RJ-111 end of the power supply cable to the left-side connector on the
bottom of the KWS500 (fig. 5). The LED 2 (located at the center of the front cover)
will flash green.
When the above steps are complete, proceed to Section 4 or 6, depending on the KIRK Handset model, for master handset programming.

The KWS500 power source uses an RJ-11 connector to plug into the KWS500 Central Control Unit. 2 Light emitting diode. Usually red or green, it is an electrical component that lights up when electricity is passed through it. The KWS500 has an LED in the center of its cover.
3.2
Opening the KWS500
Do not remove the front cover while the unit is connected to a power source. Failure to disconnect the unit from the power source while the front cover is removed can cause severe electric shock, damage to electrical components, and even death.
Place the KWS500 face down on a desk. Apply sufficient pressure to release the tabs located at each of the four corners of the unit, while gently lifting the cover from the chassis. Once separated, set the front cover aside in a safe place.
To reconnect the front cover, align the tabs with the proper positions and gently press the cover onto the chassis until the tabs lock into place.
3.3
Inside the KWS500
Once the front cover is removed, the main board of the KWS500 is exposed. By removing the single T10 Torx retaining screw and main board, you gain access to the rear chassis panel for wiring. Set the main board aside in a safe place.
After the main board is removed, the rear chassis panel (fig.6) is exposed for mounting and wiring.

Remove one of the four wiring port punch-outs on the rear chassis panel and feed the analog station cable(s) through. Secure the analog station cable(s) to the rear chassis panel with the plastic retainer plate and T10 Torx screws included in the KWS500 package. Remove the
sheathing from four to six inches of the analog station cable, to allow room to maneuver the wires to align with the termination block on the front of the main board.
Install the main board onto the rear chassis panel and secure it with the T10 Torx screw, leaving all of the wires from the analog station cable accessible from the front of the system after the main board is installed (fig. 6).
3.4
Wiring the KWS500
The KWS500 requires one connection to an analog station port on the hosting PBX telephone system for each handset. Analog station ports are wired directly to the termination block mounted on the KWS500 Central Control Unit.

Mounting bracket keyholes
Use a set of wire strippers to expose approximately 3 mm of bare copper on each wire that will be connected to the KWS500. Be careful not to expose too much bare copper. Excessive bare copper can cause improper operation.
The master handset will register to port 0. From your wiring table, identify the wire color pair for the master handset. Insert that wire color pair into the two holes for port 0.
To connect a wire to the termination block, first insert a mini screwdriver into one of the top holes (fig. 7a). Start with port 0 on the left side of the termination block.
Press the screwdriver down so as to open the spring-loaded clamp in the bottom hole (fig. 7b). This works similarly to the wire connectors found on some stereo speakers.
Insert the exposed end of one wire into the open clamp in the bottom hole (fig. 7c).
a. Insert a mini screwdriver
into the top hole. b. Press down to open the clamp..
c. Insert the wire into the bottom hole.
Remove the screwdriver, allowing the clamp to close on the wire and lock the wire in place. Be careful to not clamp down on the wire insulation as this may lead to a poor connection. Pull gently on the wire to check for a firm connection before installing the next wire.
Add each a/b pair of wires to the ports on the termination block from left to right in sequence, per your wiring table (fig. 8).
The following chart describes the wire color pairs for Cat. 3 cabling and the associated ports on the termination block. If you use different cabling, the color pairs may vary.

Mounting the KWS500
While the main board is removed, place the rear chassis panel against the mounting surface and use the keyhole cutouts in the mounting brackets to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Once marked, install the mounting screws as the construction requires. Included with the KWS500 package are two Phillips screws and two drywall anchors. Leave approximately 1/4” of each screw exposed for mounting the KWS500. Once you have wired the KWS500 and replaced the front cover, place the mounting brackets on the back of the KWS500 chassis over the screws and pull down on the unit to lock it into place.

Master Handset Programming with KIRK
3040, 4020, and 4040 Handsets
The KWS500 provides handset programming capability through the use of a “master” KIRK 3040, 4020 or 4040 Handset to register or remove additional handsets. Any KIRK Handset can be registered as the master handset.
The KIRK 5020 Handset does not have programming capability. If a KIRK 5020 Handset is registered as the master handset, use the Administration Program for handset registration and removal.Prior to programming the KWS500, one handset must be charged and available for programming as the master handset.
All handsets that are to be registered and subscribed to the system should be present and charged.
Do not apply power to the KWS500 until programming of the master handset is about to begin. The master handset must be identified by subscribing a handset to the system within the first 15 minutes of the power-up of the KWS500. If the master handset is not subscribed in this time period, a rapidly flashing red LED on the front of the unit will indicate the expiration of the 15-minute subscription period. Unplug the KWS500 and plug it in again to restart this timer. For complete instructions on using the KIRK Handsets, please refer to the User Guide produced for each KIRK Handset model.
Master handset registration
When first applying power to the KWS500, it will automatically enter registration mode for 15 minutes. Registration mode is indicated by a fast-flashing green LED on the KWS500. During this time it is possible to subscribe a single handset to the KWS500.
This KIRK Handset becomes the master handset from this point forward. Only one master handset is allowed per system.

6.4
Handset Registration
Once your laptop PC connects to the KWS500, the Registration tab screen appears. This is the screen you will use to register and program your KIRK Handsets.
The Registration tab screen allows the installer to add, remove, or edit handset information such as the Serial Number, Name, Standby Text, and Presentation Text.
The KIRK handset must have its unique 12-digit serial number registered to the KWS500 database before subscribing the handset is possible.
Access codes
For an added level of security when registering a handset, it is possible, through the Registration tab screen, to assign an access code (AC No.) for use during subscription. This access code is not necessary, and may be skipped if desired. If an access code is entered, the access code must be used during the subscription process.
User Information Grid
The User Information Grid displays the eight radio channels available for handset subscription. A handset is assigned to a specific channel by selecting a channel and entering the handset’s serial number in the Serial No. field of the Current User Data section. The master handset automatically registers to channel 0 of IWU 0. (IWU: InterWorking Unit, a term for the analog interface card that provides the connections between the PBX lines and the radio channels for the wireless handsets.) Manual registration of the master handset is an option, as described below in Add a new handset.
Once the handset has been assigned to a channel and added to the KWS500 database, it may then be subscribed to the KWS500 using its menu.
