Telephone Wiring
For telephone entry and programming, the AE-500 connects to a standard
telephone line.
Important Telephone Wiring Tips
• DO NOT ROUTE TELEPHONE AND AC WIRING INSIDE THE
SAME CONDUIT. Route all telephone wires inside a dedicated
conduit that is at least six inches away from any AC line wiring.
• All telephone wiring must be made on the “building” side of the
telephone company’s demarcation device (the terminal block
where the telephone line connects to the building).
• If any security system or personal alert system at the installation is
connected to the telephone line, be sure that it is connected to the
line ahead of the AE-500 using a RJ-31X or RJ-38X interface.
• Use only high-quality telephone wire. All telephone wire should be
twisted-pair with a minimum size of 24 AWG.
Typical Telephone Wiring
1A. If using the AE-500 modular connector for the telephone
connection, connect a double-ended modular cable between the
AE-500’s TELEPHONE JACK and the modular telephone jack
wired to the installation’s telephone line.
1B. If using the AE-500 terminal block for the telephone connection,
check the polarity of the wires with a DC voltmeter before
connecting the telephone line. Connect the negative wire (usually
green) to the RING terminal. Connect the positive wire (usually
red) to the TIP terminal.
2. Connect the AE-500’s telephone terminal labeled EARTH
GROUND to telephone line ground (optional).
Optional Radio Antenna
If wireless transmitters are going to be used in the system a remote
antenna must be installed to provide reception for the AE-500.
A basic antenna kit is supplied with the AE-500. The kit contains a
whip antenna, connector, and a 36” length of coax cable. The antenna
connector should be mounted on a metal surface using a 3/8” hole.
Two other models of antennas are compatible with the AE-500. The
Model EXA-1000 is a omni-directional antenna. The Model EXA-2000 is
a directional antenna used in installations where transmitted signals are
required to be received only in a particular direction.
✦ NOTE: Up to 50 feet of type RG-59 coax can be used to connect
the antenna to the AE-500. Keep the coax as short as possible.
1. Install the antenna. (See installation instructions if using the
EXA-1000 or EXA-2000.)
2. Connect the antenna coax cable to the antenna and route the
cable to the AE-500.
3. Connect the cable to the AE-500’s ANTENNA connector.
Receiver Range Control
The AE-500 has a RECEIVER RANGE adjustment knob. In some
installations, it may be necessary to reduce the effective radio range of
the receiver to limit the distance that transmitters can be used. Reducing
the radio’s sensitivity may also help in installations where unwanted
interference is overpowering signals from transmitters.
1. After the installation and system programming is complete,
adjust the RECEIVER RANGE knob to suit the installation. Test
transmitters from typical locations that they will be used. Set the
receiver range so the system can activate from transmitters from
about 25% more distance than required.
