Introduction

The Model AE-500 Telephone Entry & Access Control System is designed
for use as a primary access control device for gated communities,
parking garages, offi ce buildings, apartments, dormitories, hotels/motels,
commercial buildings and recreational facilities with up to 250 residents
or users.

Housed in a locked, rugged stainless steel faced enclosure, the AE-500
features a side-lit 12-key telephone style keypad with bright, easy-to­read graphics, a backlit two-line directory display with a programmable
welcome message, a built-in microphone, and speaker.

The two relay output channels can be programmed to control electric
door strikes, magnetic locks, door & gate operators, or barrier gates.

The system utilizes hands-free, full duplex telephone communications
between visitors and residents for granting access.

The system can be programmed locally using the keypad, remotely with
a touch tone telephone, or remotely using a computer equipped with a
modem and a web browser.

Before starting the installation, read and understand these instructions.
Become familiar with the illustrations and wiring diagrams. They will be a
guide to installing the system in an effi cient and professional manner.

Operation

In a typical installation, the unit’s memory would be programmed with
each resident’s name and directory code number. Arriving visitors would
use the keypad on the AE-500 to view the directory names and directory
number for the desired resident. Upon entering the directory number,
the AE-500 will automatically dial the resident’s telephone number and
establish two-way voice communication between the visitor and the
resident. The resident will then have the option to grant or deny access to
the visitor by pressing a digit on their telephone.

In addition to the telephone entry, the AE-500 can grant access using
entry codes (up to 500 entry codes) at the local or remote keypad. Interior
and exterior remote keypads are available.

Block coded and single enrolled MegaCode® transmitters (up to a total
of 1000 transmitters) can be used to gain access through the AE-500’s
built-in radio receiver. Each transmitter can be individually deactivated or
reactivated. In addition, a single enrolled transmitter can be deleted.

can be used with each AE-500 unit.

AM-KP Exterior Keypad

The Model AM-KP is housed in a rugged cast
aluminum enclosure designed for exterior
installations. The keypad can be mounted to a
pedestal or directly to a wall. A keylock secures the
keypad to the mounting backplate.

AM-KP

AM-KPI Interior Keypad

The Model AM-KPI keypad is designed to be
mounted indoors in a standard single-gang
electrical box. Tamper resistant screws secure
the keypad to its mounting plate. The die-cast
keys are downlit with a white LED. The keypad
is supplied with a satin-chrome bezel and three
interchangeable colored bezels (white, ivory, &

AM-KPI

bronze) to customize the keypad appearance for
the installation.

Feature Overview

Relay Outputs

Two 3-amp dry contact relay outputs are provided to activate access devices, such
as door strikes, magnetic locks, automatic doors, barrier gates, and automatic
sliding gates. One relay output can also be used as a specialty output for alarm
contact shunting, operator obstacle triggering, and alarm activation. LED indicators
display the status of each relay.

Request-to-Exit Inputs

Both relay channels have request-to-exit inputs. These inputs are supplied for
hardwire activation of the access devices. Typically a request-to-exit input is wired
to a pushbutton inside of the access controlled area. When a person desires to
exit, pressing the pushbutton will activate the output relay channel and trigger the
access device. A loop detector for automatic gate operation can be connected to
a request-to-exit input.

Sensing Input

The sensing input connects to a door switch that monitors whether the controlled
door is open or closed. The sensing input may alternately be programmed as an
“access inhibit” input for use with an external access timer or service switch.

Built-in Modem

A modular connector is provided for telephone line connection to the unit’s built-in

14.4K baud modem. The system can be accessed remotely for programming and
control over the standard telephone system using a personal computer with a
modem. For system backup, a computer connected through the modem can store
and retrieve the AM-500’s memory data.

Local Keypad

The local keypad is the system’s primary keypad.

Remote Keypad

Two models of remote keypads (interior Linear AM-KPI and exterior Linear Model
AM-KP) are compatible with the AE-500. A typical application for a remote keypad
would be to control a second door or gate.

Postal Lock

The AE-500 cabinet has provisions for installing a U.S.P.S. postal lock for keyed
mail carrier access. The postal lock will activate Relay Channel “A”.

Color Camera

The AE-500 cabinet has provisions for installing a Linear Model CCM-1 color
camera for viewing the area in front of the cabinet.

Obstacle Detection

Linear’s Model MGT safety edge transmitter is compatible with the AE-500. The
MGT detects and transmits obstacle events to the AE-500. Obstacle signals from
a MGT transmitter will activate Relay Channel “B”.

Programming Memory

The AE-500’s EEPROM memory retains all entry codes, transmitter information,
and programming, even without power.

Web-style Computer Programming

The system’s built-in, web-style programming interface can be accessed using a
computer with any Internet browser on-site (using a separate phone line) or off­site. The intuitive graphic display of each of the programming step is the preferred
method to program the AE-500.

Local Programming

All system programming options can be set from the AE-500’s keypad. A computer
or dedicated programmer is not required to completely confi gure the AE-500.

Telephone Programming

System programming options can be set using a standard TouchTone™ telephone.
By calling the AE-500 from a telephone, and entering the programming password,
programming options can be changed and system functions can be controlled.

Battery Backup

The system supports a 12-volt battery backup for operation during power outage.
The system does not charge the backup battery, an external battery charger is
required to maintain the battery.

Database Overview

Programming the AE-500 involves entering installation information into
the system’s memory. The system uses this information as a reference
“database” to control the operation of the system.

Resident Data

Up to 250 resident names and telephone numbers can be set. Each resident
entry is assigned a directory number. Directory numbers can be from two to
four digits in length (all will be the same length). The directory number is the
number a visitor would enter to have the system call the resident.

RESIDENT DATA (UP TO 250 RESIDENTS)

FOR EACH RESIDENT:

DIRECTORY NUMBER (2 TO 4 DIGITS)
NAME (UP TO 16 CHARACTERS)
PHONE # (UP TO 12 DIGITS)

Entry Code Data

An entry code is a number entered at the AE-500 keypad or remote
keypad to request access. Up to 500 entry codes can be set. Entry codes
can be from two to six digits in length (all will be the same length).

Entry codes can be programmed for timed or toggle operation. Timed
relays activate for a programmed length of time. Toggle relays latch on until
the next time a toggle entry code is entered, then the relay unlatches. Each
entry code can also be set for a limited or unlimited number of uses.

An entry code will activate Relay Channel “A” or “B” depending on how
the entry code is programmed and whether or not a remote keypad is

attached:

When an entry code is programmed to activate a specifi c relay, the

•
selected relay will activate when the code is entered on either the
AE-500 keypad or the remote keypad.

When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a

•
remote keypad is attached, Relay Channel “A” will activate if the entry
code is entered on the AE-500 keypad; Relay Channel “B” will activate
if the entry code is entered on the remote keypad.

When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a

•
remote keypad is not attached, the entry code will activate both Relay
Channels “A” and “B”.

When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, only timed
relay mode is available for that code, toggle relay mode is unavailable.

ENTRY CODE DATA (UP TO 500 CODES)

FOR EACH CODE:

ENTRY CODE (2 TO 6 DIGITS)
RELAY SELECTOR
TEMPORARY USAGE COUNT

Transmitter Data

Up to 1000 wireless transmitters can be used with the system. Up to 500
transmitters can be ordered in pre-programmed blocks of sequential ID
codes. Up to 16 blocks of transmitters can be used. Another option is
to utilize up to 500 transmitters that are singly assigned. A transmitter
will activate either relay output depending on the button programming
(same for all transmitters in the system). An individual transmitter can be
deactivated in case it is lost or stolen. A single enrolled transmitter can
also be deleted.

Important Mounting Requirements

The AE-500 Telephone Entry System can be installed for public or private
use. The mounting requirements will vary depending on the installation.
Review the following information before beginning the installation.

Mounting Environment

Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location.
The AE-500 is designed for direct outdoor installations, however, it is
preferable to protect the unit from extreme exposure to sun, driving rain,
or snow whenever possible. Mounting the unit in a kiosk can provide extra
environmental protection.

Follow Building Codes

Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing the
system. Proper installation of the AE-500 conforming to the local building
codes for access control equipment is a regulatory requirement. The
AE-500 installation is an extremely important and integral part of the
overall access control system.

Mounting Location

If the AE-500 is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate the unit
as near as practical to the entry point. If the unit is mounted on or in a wall
adjacent to the entry point, be sure the wall is sturdy. The repeated shock
and vibration from a slamming access door or spring-loaded pedestrian
gate must be isolated from the AE-500. NEVER MOUNT THE UNIT

DIRECTLY TO A MOVING DOOR OR GATE!
