Linear at the gate.

Linear’s Residential Telephone Entry systems are

an unparalleled marriage of style and technology

— products that both make a strong statement

and perform an essential function.

In terms of design, the RE-1 and RE-2 are

unlike any other residential entry product on

the market. Uniquely styled and available in a

choice of powder coated nickel or stainless steel

— they have all the characteristics of a high-end,

architectural-grade, custom-designed system.

Simple, striking, and trend-setting, the RE-1 and

RE-2 do more for home owners than provide a

means for screening visitors and granting access

to their residence. They convey a subtle statement

of affluence. They send a message to guests

arriving at the gate that they have come to a place

of importance.

Functionally, the RE-1 and RE-2 bring the

cutting edge of access technology to residential

entry applications. They are the epitome of access

control merged with convenience, from their

full complement of voice response capabilities

to their built-in receiver, auxiliary control

functions, and optional closed-circuit television

monitoring feature.

Linear at the gate says it all. And has it all.

CAST HOUSING MEANS
LASTING BEAUTY.

Linear’s residential telephone entry
system is the first to utilize cast
stainless steel for its inherent strength
and striking appearance. This housing
can take hits from both Mother
Nature and vandals and maintain its
functional integrity and good looks.
As an alternative to this stainless
housing, the RE-1 and RE-2 also come
in cast zinc with a powder coated
nickel finish.

White down lighting that is both
dramatic and practical is provided
by an extremely long-life white LED
source. The use of surface mount
technology (SMT) for all electronic
components minimizes the effects
of interference from electro static
discharge and protects against damage
from lightning strikes.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS
BEYOND THE GATE.

Both systems have two built in
general purpose relays for maximum
system functionality. 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.

MEGACODE INSIDE. TELEPHONE
ENTRY WITH WIRELESS!

The RE-1 and RE-2 are the only
telephone entry systems presently
available offering a built-in wireless
receiver as standard equipment. 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 openers. Its code
selection from over one million
factory-set possibilities that cannot
be changed in the field assures the
highest protection against code theft
and duplication.

VOICE PROMPTS. USER
FRIENDLY, OWNER FRIENDLY.

Synthesized
voice capabilities
are built into the
system to provide
instructions for
system users/owners,
and to provide
prompts for visitors,
making the system
extremely easy to
operate. The voice

response system
also provides confirmation during
remote programming via touch-tone
telephone and local programming.

VERSATILE TELEPHONE
INTEGRATION.

The system can call up to three
pre-programmed off-site numbers; it
can generate call waiting tones; and
it can call forward via time zone or
resident command.

For on-premises communications,
the systems have a number of
valuable integration options. For a
property with multiple entrances,
guest houses, or separate apartments,
any of these locations can be called,
because up to four systems can share
the same telephone line and provide
communication functions. In addition,
a separate INTERCOM mode allows
connection to a PBX telephone
system or a separate residential
intercom system via just a pair of
wires.

SOPHISTICATED YET
SIMPLE PROGRAMMING.

Ease of installation is very much
a part of the system concept.
Providers can use a standard web
browser to program the unit, thus
eliminating the need for special
software. Programming can also be
accomplished from the keypad or via
a touch-tone telephone.

User programming is equally easy.
For example, time zone programming
is provided to determine the time
and/or day residents are active.
Options are also provided to lock out
prank calls in the middle of the night,
and to lock or open doors and gates
as needed.

OPTIONAL VIDEO CAMERA.
THE ULTIMATE CALLER ID.

Each system can be field upgraded
with a closed circuit television
package that greatly enhances
each unit’s capabilities. The RE-1
supports a Model RE-BWC1 black
& white camera or Model CCM-RE1
color camera, the RE-2 supports the
Model CCM-2A color camera. Each
miniature camera installs neatly
inside the system with a covered
lens window for camera protection
and to provide an unobtrusive, non­intimidating appearance. Also, the
RE-1 features infrared illuminators to
ensure clear black & white images
in low light conditions. In addition,
Linear offers a Model CPDM-1 digital
television modulator to inject the
camera’s video signal onto a custom
television channel that can be
viewed on a single television, or on
multiple television sets.

MORE OPTIONS FOR A FULL­FEATURED SYSTEM.

The unique cast housing of the
system has provisions for the
integration of a Knox lock for
applications requiring a means for
emergency access onto the property.
This feature eliminates the need
for an unsightly separate lock box,
thus preserving the RE-1 and RE-2’s
outstanding aesthetics.

For residences
with a second
drive entrance, a
service entrance,
or additional
vehicle gates
or walk gates,
auxiliary
keypads are
available to

provide entrance control. These
keypads, part of Linear’s access
control product line, are also
valuable when there is a need to
have a keypad code to exit the
property.

Finally, driveway sensing can be
provided for with a loop detector
to trigger the system to announce
a vehicle at the gate or to activate
a relay to provide more light at
the gate.

MORE THAN SINGLE­DWELLING CAPACITY.

The RE-1 and RE-2 are not limited
to residential applications. With
their capacity for 100 entry codes
and their ability to support up to
100 transmitters they are ideal for
sites such as employee parking lots
and commercial parking garages.
Premises entry can be via keypad as
well as transmitter. System activity
may be monitored and logged
(450 event capacity) for retrieval
via computer.

CONTROL ACCESS AND
COMMUNICATIONS FROM ANY
TELEPHONE, EVEN OFF-SITE

Granting access and controlling
the gate operator is as easy as
dialing the telephone. Both access
relays can be individually controlled
using a TouchTone® telephone. If
the access gate needs to be opened,

without a call from a visitor, any
telephone in the house can be used
to open the gate by keying in a five
digit code pattern. The telephone
codes can be used to latch or
release either of the access relays,

If an unexpected visitor arrives,
or is seen at the entry area with the
system’s optional CCTV camera, a
code from any on-site telephone can
activate the system’s 2-way audio
communication circuitry. This is an
outstanding feature allows remote
monitoring and speaking to the
entry system area with the unit’s
high-gain microphone and speaker.

Off-site, anywhere in the World, a
telephone can be used to control
the access relays. The system uses
a programmable 6-digit password
to authorize access for the remote
telephone control functions.

NO ONE HOME? FORWARD
THE CALL FOR ACCESS

The call forwarding feature allows
a visitor to contact the resident at
a programmed telephone number
instead of through the on-site
telephones. The feature can be set
to be active during a selected time
(set with the system’s seven unique
time zone schedules) or at all times.
The telephone number programmed
can contain an extension number
and an optional time delay before
dialing the extension.

The call forwarding feature
can also be set to call the on-site
telephones first, then if there’s
no answer, place a call to the
programmed forwarding telephone
number. During the forwarded
call, the access relays can be
controlled simply by using the
telephone’s keypad.
