AE-500
Telephone Entry
for One or Two Doors/Gates
Everything you need for
systems of up to 250 users.
The AE-500.
Telephone entry as
easy as
The guiding principle behind Linear’s AE-500 is
that a telephone entry system should be a model
of simplicity. Easy to specify. Easy to install. Easy
to configure. And above all, easy to use. A close
examination of every aspect of this system reveals
that ease is an across-the-board
attribute.
That makes the AE-500
desirable for installations with
as few as 25 users or as many
as 250. Multi-tenant sites like
gated communities, apartments,
condominiums, and dormitories
can all benefit from its simplicity
and its expansive capabilities.
The AE-500 provides control
for a single gate or a door, two
gates, two doors, or a gate and a
door. It includes a built-in radio
for adding remote control via user
transmitters, a function enhanced
by the fact that Linear is also a
leader in RF technology and offers
the industry’s widest range of transmitter styles.
No matter what size your telephone entry
ROBUST MEMORY, VIVID
DISPLAY, RADIO, MODEM —
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.
There is nothing incremental about
the AE-500. For a simple system,
it comes fully equipped for your
telephone entry application. It has
ample non-volatile memory for up
to 250 users, which means that even
if you start with 25 users, you won’t
need to keep adding more memory
blocks (at greater expense) as your
needs grow. That memory stores up
to 250 directory codes, 500 blockcoded MegaCode transmitters, and
500 entry codes. An entry code can
be programmed
for unlimited use
or as a temporary
code for up to 250
activations. The
latter type is ideal
for contractors
and other shortterm system users.
An especially
high visibility
component
is a 2 line by
16 character
transflective
backlit LCD that
brightly displays
the system’s user
directory, as well
as a helpful series
of user prompts.
A built-in radio
offers additional
entry capabilities
via wireless
transmitter control.
An integral modem greatly simplifies
programming.
requirements run, it is likely that Linear can supply
a system. With many years in the field, we have
assembled a family of products to address nearly every
need.
By every meaningful measure, Linear makes
telephone entry easy.
RUGGEDLY BUILT
FOR EVERYDAY USE.
Telephone entry systems get a lot
of use (and sometimes even abuse).
The system is housed in a heavyduty 16 gauge powder coated steel
cabinet with a 16 gauge brushed
stainless steel front panel. Its built-in,
recessed, 12-button, metal keypad is
likewise manufactured for constant
pressure
applied by
many fingertips
over many
years. Surround
lighting makes
it easy to
read even
after hours.
That lighting
is supplied
by LEDs that
remain on all
the time at 50%
intensity; once
a key is pressed, the LEDs illuminate
at 100% intensity for a period of two
minutes.
MEGACODE INSIDE. TELEPHONE
ENTRY WITH WIRELESS!
Like all Linear telephone entry
systems, the AE-500 includes the
added value of a built-in wireless
receiver and antenna. But this is
not just any wireless receiver. It’s
the MegaCode radio by Linear,
the people who pioneered radio
frequency based security and access
control. The famous MegaCode unit
allows the use of handheld, visor
clip, and keychain transmitters
(the industry’s largest selection)
to achieve additional
remote control over
gates and garage
door operators. Its
code selection
from over one
million factoryset possibilities
that cannot be
changed in the
field assures the
highest protection
against code theft
and duplication.
Use of blockcoded transmitters
dramatically simplifies the
programming process. A choice
of optional antennas extends the
AE-500’s range. The EXA-1000 is a
remote, omni directional model that
includes mounting hardware and
five feet of cable. The EXA-2000 is a
remote directional-type model that
comes with mounting hardware and
ten feet of cable.
IN LIVING COLOR.
AN OPTIONAL CCTV CAMERA.
Getting a clear picture of what’s
going on at any entrance at any given
time is as easy
as adding an
optional, color
cctv camera
(CCM-1) to
the AE-500. It
installs inside
and receives
power from
the control board. The color
camera doesn’t just add value
to the AE-500; it adds security to
any installation. You can add a
CPDM-1 to combine the video
signal with an existing CATV
network. This will allow all
tenants in a development to view
on their TVs, who is calling them
from the AE-500.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
BEYOND THE DOOR
AND/OR GATE.
The AE-500 has two built-in
general purpose (form “C”)
relays. Both can be configured
for open/close. One can be used
for the control relay and the
other for a myriad of auxiliary
control functions, including
activation of safety edge reverse,
external lighting, or alarm
shunting. All relay contacts
have extensive RFI, ARC, and
lightning suppression.
INSTALLATION
CHOICES ABOUND.
The AE-500 can go just about
anywhere telephone entry
is needed. Its stainless steel
cabinet can be either surface
or gooseneck mounted as
standard. For flush or recessed
mounting, an optional trim ring is
available.
SOPHISTICATED YET SIMPLE
PROGRAMMING.
Computer programming the AE500 via a standard web browser
eliminates the need for special
software. Programming can
also be accomplished from the
AE-500’s keypad or via a touch-tone
telephone.
MORE OPTIONS FOR A
FULL-FEATURED SYSTEM.
In addition to the aforementioned
remote control transmitters,
alternative mounting accessories, and
extended range antennas, the AE-500
can be easily equipped with other
valuable options. For instance, Linear
offers add-on
keypads for
access control
at a second door
or gate.
