Product Description:

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 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. The Model AE-500 Commercial Telephone Entry System is designed for use as a primary access control device for gated communities, parking garages, office buildings, apartments, dormitories, hotels/motels, commercial buildings and recreational facilities with up to 250 residents or users.

Housed in a locked, rugged stainless steel faced enclosure, the AE-500 features a side-lit 12-key telephone style keypad with bright, easy-to-read graphics, a backlit two-line directory display with a programmable welcome message, a built-in microphone, speaker, and provision for an optional color CCTV camera.

The two relay output channels can be programmed to control electric door strikes, magnetic locks, door & gate operators, or barrier gates.

The system utilizes hands-free, full duplex telephone communications between visitors and residents for granting access.

The system can be programmed locally using the keypad, remotely with a touch tone telephone, or remotely using a computer equipped with a modem and a web browser.

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 block-coded 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 short-term 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.

RUGGEDLY BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE.

Telephone entry systems get a lot of use (and sometimes even abuse). The system is housed in a heavy-duty 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 factory-set possibilities that cannot be changed in the field assures the highest protection against code theft and duplication. Use of block-coded 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.

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 AE-500 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.
