Introduction

The Model AE-500 Telephone Entry & Access Control System 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 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, and speaker.

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.

Operation

In a typical installation, the unit’s memory would be programmed with each resident’s name and directory code number. Arriving visitors would use the keypad on the AE-500 to view the directory names and directory number for the desired resident. Upon entering the directory number, the AE-500 will automatically dial the resident’s telephone number and establish two-way voice communication between the visitor and the resident. The resident will then have the option to grant or deny access to the visitor by pressing a digit on their telephone.

In addition to the telephone entry, the AE-500 can grant access using entry codes (up to 500 entry codes) at the local or remote keypad. Block coded and single enrolled MegaCode® transmitters (up to a total of 1000 transmitters) can be used to gain access through the AE-500’s built-in radio receiver. Each transmitter can be individually deactivated or reactivated. In addition, a single enrolled transmitter can be deleted.

Database Overview

Programming the AE-500 involves entering installation information into the system’s memory. The system uses this information as a reference “database” to control the operation of the system.

Resident Data

Up to 250 resident names and telephone numbers can be set. Each resident entry is assigned a directory number. Directory numbers can be from two to four digits in length (all will be the same length).The directory number is the number a visitor would enter to have the system call the resident.

RESIDENT DATA (UP TO 250 RESIDENTS)

FOR EACH RESIDENT: DIRECTORY NUMBER (2 TO 4 DIGITS)

NAME (UP TO 16 CHARACTERS)

PHONE # (UP TO 12 DIGITS)

Entry Code Data

An entry code is a number entered at the AE-500 keypad or remote keypad to request access. Up to 500 entry codes can be set. Entry codes can be from two to six digits in length (all will be the same length).

Entry codes can be programmed for timed or toggle operation. Timed relays activate for a programmed length of time. Toggle relays latch on until the next time a toggle entry code is entered, then the relay unlatches. Each entry code can also be set for a limited or unlimited number of uses.

An entry code will activate Relay Channel “A” or “B” depending on how the entry code is programmed and whether or not a remote keypad is attached:

•When an entry code is programmed to activate a specifi c relay, the selected relay will activate when the code is entered on either the AE-500 keypad or the remote keypad.

•When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a remote keypad is attached, Relay Channel “A” will activate if the entry code is entered on the AE-500 keypad; Relay Channel “B” will activate if the entry code is entered on the remote keypad.

•When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a remote keypad is not attached, the entry code will activate both Relay Channels “A” and “B”.

When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, only timed relay mode is available for that code, toggle relay mode is unavailable.

FOR EACH CODE: ENTRY CODE (2 TO 6 DIGITS)

Transmitter Data

Up to 1000 wireless transmitters can be used with the system. Up to 500 transmitters can be ordered in pre-programmed blocks of sequential ID codes. Up to 16 blocks of transmitters can be used. Another option is to utilize up to 500 transmitters that are singly assigned. A transmitter will activate either relay output depending the button programming (same for all transmitters in the system). An individual transmitter can be deactivated in case it is lost or stolen. A single enrolled transmitter can also be deleted.

FOR EACH TRANSMITTER: TRANSMITTER ID # (1-65535)
