Auto Gate Tech

Linear's AccessKey is a digital keyless entry system designed for access control applications. The keypad is housed in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal or bolted directly to a wall. The die-cast keys have bright, easy-to-read yellow graphics.

Up to 480 entry codes, from 1 to 6 digits in length, can be programmed. They can activate either, or both, of the relay outputs. Relay #1 has a 5 Amp capacity. Relay #2 has a 1 Amp capacity.

Two LED indicators show the status of the entry system. The left LED lights red to indicate power, then turns green when access is granted. The right LED lights yellow when the keypad is in "lockout" condition (from too many incorrect code entries). The keypad's courtesy light illuminates the keys for two minutes after any key is pressed. An internal sounder beeps when each key is pressed.

The DOOR SENSE/INHIBIT input can be used two ways. If programmed for "door sense", a switch on the door detects forced entry or door ajar situations. If programmed for "inhibit", the input can be wired to a "service" switch or automatic timer that will disable the Relay #1 when required.

The REQUEST‑TO‑ENTER input can be wired to a pushbutton or fire access keyswitch to provide codeless entry for authorized personnel. The "anti-passback" feature prevents using the same code twice before the programmed time elapses.

The ALARM SHUNT output activates when access is granted. This output can be wired to shunt alarm contacts on the access door/gate to prevent triggering of an alarm when authorized access occurs.

Two solid state outputs, capable of switching 100 mA to common, are programmable to signal forced entry, door ajar, lockout, alarm circuit shunting, request-to-enter, and keypad active conditions.

The AccessKey is powered from a 12‑24 Volt AC or DC source. Power can be obtained from the access device or a separate power supply. The EEPROM memory retains all entry codes and programming, even without power.

To avoid damage to the unit from static discharges, connect the EARTH GROUND terminal to a good earth grounding point. Suggested wiring size is 18 AWG for earth ground and power (up to 500 feet of 18 AWG wire can be run for power, use larger wire for longer runs). Use 22 AWG or larger (depending on the load) for all other connections.

Select a location for the keypad. For door access control installations, mount the keypad near the controlled door. For gate control installations, mount the keypad in clear view of the gate, but far enough from the gate so the user cannot touch the gate from the keypad.

* WARNING: TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, MAKE SURE THA T THE UNIT IS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE SO THAT THE USER CANNOT TOUCH THE GATE WHILE OPERATING THE KEYPAD. HOWEVER, THE GATE MUST BE FULLY VISIBLE FROM THE KEYPAD.

BASIC PROGRAMMING

When the AccessKey is in programming mode, both LEDs will turn off until programming begins. After a programming option number is entered the yellow LED will blink. This indicates that the AccessKey is ready to accept the new programming data. After the new data entry is complete, the green LED will light while the data is being stored. The red LED will light if any programming data is entered incorrectly, and the command will have to be fully re-entered.

Entering Programming Mode

The 6-digit Master Programming Code (default = 123456) is used to enter Programming Mode.

Press: # 9 # Master Code

Master Code = the current 6-digit Master Programming Code

Exiting Programming Mode

Press: * * #

The red LED will light when Programming Mode is exited.

NOTE: The Accesskey will automatically exit Programming Mode after two minutes of inactivity.

Re-entering a Command After a Mistake

If the red LED lights, indicating an incorrect entry, or a wrong key is pressed during programming, to clear the keypad and re-enter the command:

Press: * 9 #

Setting Entry Code Length

Default: 4 digits

Press: 0 3 # Length #

Length = 1 - 6 for entry code length

NOTE: If the Entry Code Length is going to be changed from the factory default of four digits, make this change first, before programming any entry codes.

Adding a New Entry Code

Press: 0 1 # Code # Code # Relay #

Code = The new entry code: 1-999999, depending on code length

Relay = Relay output entry code will activate:

1 = Relay #1
2 = Relay #2
3 = Both Relays
The yellow LED will flash quickly while the AccessKey searches its memory for available space and duplicate entries. The green LED will light when the new code is stored.

If the new entry code chosen is already being used for another entry code, the red LED will light. A new unique code needs to be entered.

NOTE: Leading zeros (zeros before the code number, i.e. 0001) do not need to be entered when programming a new entry code. The AccessKey will internally add any zeros to fill all digits determined by the entry code length setting Leading zeros will have to be entered by the user when entering their code to gain access.

Erasing a Single Entry Code

Press: 0 2 # Code # Code #

Code = The entry code to delete.

The yellow LED will flash quickly while the AccessKey searches its memory for the code to erase. The green LED will light when the code is erased.

Erasing All Entry Codes

WARNING: Performing this command will remove all entry codes from the memory.

Press: 97 # 000000 # 000000 #

NOTE: The green LED will light while the memory is being erased. This may take up to 15 seconds.

Changing the 6-Digit Master Programming Code

Press: 9 8 # Master Code # Master Code #

Master Code = The new 6-digit Master Programming Code

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

There are several AccessKey programming options. For most installations, the factory set default options are sufficient. The keypad must be in programming mode to make these changes.

Select Door Sense or Inhibit Input

Default: Door Sense

The input on terminal block J4, terminal #3 can be programmed for DOOR SENSE or INHIBIT.

Press: 10 # Input#

Input = 1 for Inhibit, = 0 for Door Sense

When programmed for DOOR SENSE, if an open condition on the input occurs before access is granted (with an entry code or with the request-to-enter input) a FORCED ENTRY output will occur. If an open condition remains 60 seconds after a relay activation for access, a DOOR AJAR output will occur.

When programmed for INHIBIT. a closed condition on the input will prevent relay #1 from activating when access is requested (with an entry code). This mode is typically used with an external timer to disable the access device at certain times.

Select Forced Entry Output

Default: Output #3

Sets which output activates if the Door Sense input opens before access is granted, This output is not timed.

Press: 1 1 # Output #

Output = Output to Activate (0-4)

Seconds = Output time in seconds (0-60)
99 = Toggle mode

Sets the number of incorrect entry code attempts allowed before the keypad "locks out".

* CAUTION: Performing a master reset will clear the entire memory of the AccessKey and return all programmable options to the factory default values. ALL ENTRY CODES WILL BE ERASED.

STEP 3 Apply power to the keypad. continue holding the keys down until the red LED starts flashing.

STEP 4 Release the keys. The red and yellow LEDs will remain lit until the process is complete, then the yellow LED will go out.

STEP 3 With power applied to the keypad, remove jumper JP2. The keypad will begin to beep, signaling that the code has been reset.

The two solid state outputs (Output #3 & Output #4) can be programmed to activate during various conditions. These outputs can be used to activate indicators or sounders. See Figure 7 for wiring examples using the solid state outputs.

After the installation is complete. Lock the keypad using the keylock (see Figure 9).
