1. Mount receiver in an area
protected from the elements.
2. If using the local whip
antenna, the higher the
receiver is mounted, the
better the radio range will be.
3. Optionally, mount the
receiver in a metal cabinet
and use an external antenna.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The AP-1 is designed for a broad range of access control applications. Its wireless
design, small size and dual relay outputs make it easily adaptable for a variety of access
control requirements. Typically, the AP-1 is used to control a door strike, barrier gate,
automatic gate or automatic door operator.
POWER
The AP-1 contains a high-gain UHF receiver which uses an external antenna to pick
up signals from up to 250 feet away. Up to 169 Linear MegaCode Format transmitters
and one Model MGT safety edge transmitter can easily be programmed into the AP-1’s
memory. The AP-1 will retain its memory, even without power.
Two dry contact relay outputs are standard. One relay is the ACCESS RELAY, which
triggers for two seconds each time a programmed transmitter is activated. This relay
output connects to the pushbutton or radio input of the access device. The second relay
is the OBSTACLE RELAY, which triggers for two seconds when an obstacle signal is
sent from a Model MGT safety edge transmitter. This relay output connects to the
obstacle input of the access device. An OPEN REQUEST input terminal is supplied for
hardwire activation of the access device with an external pushbutton.
The AP-1 can be powered from 12-24 Volts AC or DC. The Form C relay outputs can
switch up to 1 Amp each. An EARTH GROUND terminal is provided as an optional
connection for maximum lightning and static protection.
RADIO INDICATOR
Lights when a radio
signal is detected on the
frequency to which the
receiver is tuned.
LOCAL ANTENNA
Attach local whip
antenna directly to
receiver. Bend whip to
point antenna up.

Five special utility functions can be displayed by pressing the pound (#) key then the
digits 1-5. They display the status of the obstacle transmitter, the number of empty
programming locations, the total number of transmitters programmed, first available
programming location and firmware version number.
The AP-1 can fully supervise the MGT safety edge transmitter. The system monitors
the MGT transmitter for hourly status reports, tamper signals and low battery signals.
A beep will sound every 5 seconds if a fault occurs and the trouble source can be
displayed by pressing pound (#)-1. For a trouble indication, a transmitter must be
activated twice to trigger the ACCESS RELAY if a supervisory condition exists on the
MGT transmitter.

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link an d fill an importa nt 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 canno t respond to more than one transmi t ted signal at a ti m e and may be blocked by radio signals
✶
that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
✶
Infrequently us ed radio links shoul d be tested regularly to protect against undet ec ted 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.
