INTRODUCTION
Linear’s AK-11 is a digital keyless entry system designed for
access control applications. The keypad is housed in a rugged
cast aluminum enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal or
bolted directly to a wall. The die-cast keys have bright,
easy-to-read yellow graphics.
Up to 480 entry codes, from 1 to 6 digits in length, can be
programmed. They can activate either, or both, of the relay
outputs. Relay #1 has a 5 Amp capacity. Relay #2 has a 1 Amp
capacity.
Two LED indicators show the status of the entry system. The left
LED lights red to indicate power, then turns green when access
is granted. The right LED lights yellow when the keypad is in
“lockout” condition (from too many incorrect code entries). The
keypad’s courtesy light can be always off, always on or be
programmed to illuminate from 1-4 minutes after any keypress
(default 2 minutes). An internal sounder beeps when each key is
pressed.
The DOOR SENSE/INHIBIT input can be used two ways. If
programmed for “door sense”, a switch on the door detects
forced entry or door ajar situations. If programmed for “inhibit”,
the input can be wired to a “service” switch or automatic timer
that will disable the Relay #1 when required.
The REQUEST-TO-ENTER input can be wired to a pushbutton
or fire access keyswitch to provide codeless entry for authorized
personnel. The “anti-passback” feature prevents using the same
code twice before the programmed time elapses.
The ALARM SHUNT output activates when access is granted.
This output can be wired to shunt alarm contacts on the access
door/gate to prevent triggering of an alarm when authorized
access occurs.
Two solid state outputs, capable of switching 100 mA to common,
are programmable to signal forced entry, door ajar, lockout,
alarm circuit shunting, request-to-enter, and keypad active
conditions.
The AK-11 is powered from a 12-24 Volt AC or DC source. Power
can be obtained from the access device or a separate power
supply. The EEPROM memory retains all entry codes and
programming, even without power.

INSTALLATION
To avoid damage to the unit from static discharges, connect the
EARTH GROUND terminal to a good earth grounding point.
Suggested wiring size is 18 AWG for earth ground and power (up
to 500 feet of 18 AWG wire can be run for power, use larger wire
for longer runs). Use 22 AWG or larger (depending on the load)
for all other connections.
! CAUTION: If the unit is AC powered, and one side of the
power transformer secondary is connected to earth
ground, connect the grounded side to the “-” power
terminal of the unit.
Select a location for the keypad. For door access control
installations, mount the keypad near the controlled door. For gate
control installations, mount the keypad in clear view of the gate,
but far enough from the gate so the user cannot touch the gate
from the keypad.
# WARNING: TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, MAKE
SURE THAT THE UNIT IS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE
SO THAT THE USER CANNOT TOUCH THE GATE WHILE
OPERATING THE KEYPAD. HOWEVER, THE GATE MUST
BE FULLY VISIBLE FROM THE KEYPAD.

Pedestal Mounting
The AK-11 keypad can be mounted on a standard pedestal.
Use four security bolts and locking nuts to secure the
keypad’s backplate to the pedestal (see Figure 3).
Wall Mounting
The AK-11 keypad can be mounted directly to a wall or flat
surface.
Use the appropriate fasteners to secure the keypad’s
backplate to the mounting surface.
When mounting the keypad to a concrete wall, use
concrete wedge anchors or molly anchors (see Figure 4).
