Linear AM-RPR Quick Start Manual

INTRODUCTION

1. TYPICAL INSTALLATION

The AM-RPR remote proximity receiver is designed for use with Linear’s
AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, and AM3Plus access control systems. The
AM-RPR functions as a remote PBUS device that supplies localized radio
reception for the controller.

In a typical installation, the AM-RPR would be mounted in a plastic

AM-RPR

single-gang electrical box next to the controlled opening. When the user
requires access, their transmitter must be activated within three inches
of the AM-RPR faceplate. The ultra-short range of the AM-RPR allows

placement of a unit by each controlled opening without the possibility of the
transmitter being detected by the wrong receiver.

A two-color indicator on the AM-RPR faceplate displays the receiver’s
status. The indicator lights red when the receiver is getting DC power from
the controller and turns green when access is granted to a transmitter.

Installation
Instructions

The AM-RPR remote proximity receiver connects to the controller through a
six-wire cable. A small ferrite ‘doughnut’ is supplied for the wiring to reduce
radio reception in the wires. A rotary switch in the AM-RPR selects the
PBUS device address for the receiver. Each remote device connected to the

controller must be set to a different device address. Power is supplied to the
receiver from the controller.

A special test mode can be selected to test the radio reception. When the
unit is powered and the device address selector is set to 7, activating a
transmitter in range of the receiver causes the test beeper to sound and the
indicator to blink.

IMPORTANT !!!
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important
need in portable wireless signalling. However, there are some limitations which
must be observed.

* For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations

as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

* A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by

radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
* Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC compliance.
* Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected

interference or fault.
* A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale

distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
