Introduction
The AM3Plus Access Controller is designed for use as a primary access control device for gated communities, parking garages, offi ce buildings, apartments, dormitories, hotels/motels, commercial buildings and recreational facilities.
Housed in a lockable, plastic enclosure, the AM3Plus features a
The system controls its four output relays by responding to various input devices that react to proximity cards, transmitters, and entry codes. The four relay output channels can be programmed to control electric door strikes, magnetic locks, door & gate operators, or barrier gates.
Access is granted or denied depending on the current user’s authorization to gain access and system settings that control groups of users or all users. Complete access control event logging, access time restriction, access location restriction, and administration functions are also available to manage the installation.
The AM3Plus is network ready. Multiple units can be interconnected on a
Two sets of Wiegand inputs are available for connection to 26, 30, or

Operation
In a typical installation, the unit’s memory would be programmed with each resident’s name and entry code number. Arriving visitors would use a remote keypad to enter their entry code. Also proximity receivers, swipe card readers, and other remote devices can be used with the system.
Block coded MegaCode® transmitters can be used to gain access through a remote radio receiver connected to the AM3Plus PBUS. Each transmitter can be individually suspended or
The system’s clock/calendar can control access based on specifi c times and dates. Automatic relay activation can be scheduled. Access can be restricted to certain times and dates. Holiday access can be scheduled. The system’s event log records system activity for future reference.
Programming and Cardholder Maintenance
Two programming methods can be used with the system: Linear’s AXNET or AccessBase2000. Each has its advantages, but only one must be chosen at the onset for each installation. Once a unit is programmed with one method, all programming data will be lost if a decision is made to switch to the other method.
Linear’s AXNET software is built into each unit. It allows connecting to the unit using common browser software from any PC at any location. Each unit’s database is stored in the unit’s memory.
Linear’s AccessBase2000 software installs in one dedicated PC and is designed with many extra features usually for large network installations. The database for the entire system is stored in the dedicated PC.
