Multi-purpose
Wireless
Access Controller
With High-gain Superheterodyne Receiver
Installation Instructions
INTRODUCTION
The AP-5 is designed for a broad range of access control applications. Its wireless design and
small size make it easily adaptable for a variety of access control requirements. Typically, the AP-5
is used to control one or two door strikes, barrier gates, automatic gates, or door operators.
The AP-5 contains a high-gain superheterodyne UHF receiver which uses an external antenna to
pick up signals from up to 500 feet away. Up to 480 Linear MegaCode
®
transmitters and six Model
MGT safety edge transmitters can be programmed into the AP-5’s memory. The AP-5 will retain
its memory, even without power.
Three dry contact relays are provided. The fi rst relay (K1) is always for ACCESS. The second relay
(K2) can be set for ACCESS or OBSTACLE. The third relay (K3) is always an OBSTACLE relay.
An ACCESS relay can be programmed to be either timed or toggled. In timed mode, the relay
can each be programmed to activate from 1 to 120 seconds (default 2 seconds). In toggle mode,
activating a transmitter will latch the relay, activating the transmitter again will un-latch the relay.
An OBSTACLE relay will activate for 2 seconds when a valid signal is received from a Model MGT
transmitter. During an obstacle condition, all ACCESS relays will be disabled.
For manual activation, pressing OPEN then the “1” key will activate relay K1. Pressing OPEN then
the “2” key will activate relay K2. Each relay will activate for its programmed time only. If relay K2
is programmed as an OBSTACLE relay, it cannot be manually activated.
Relays K1 and K2 can also be activated using the two OPEN REQUEST inputs. Each input
(1 or 2) will activate an ACCESS relay (K1 or K2) for its timed amount, or as long as the input is
active. OPEN REQUEST inputs override any MGT obstacle activity on relay K3 (but not on K2).
The AP-5 can fully supervise up to six MGT safety edge transmitters stored in six memory locations
(1-6). The system monitors each 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 #-1 then 1-6. A transmitter must be activated twice to trigger the
ACCESS RELAY if a supervisory trouble condition exists on any MGT transmitter (unless
the MGT has been suspended). MGT supervisory conditions can be canceled per individual unit,
or globally.
The AP-5 can be powered from 12-24 Volts AC or DC. The three Form C relay outputs can
each switch up to 1 Amp @ 24 Volts AC/DC. An EARTH GROUND terminal is provided as a
recommended connection for maximum lightning and static protection.
