Feature Overview

Relay Outputs

Four 3-amp dry contact relay outputs are provided to activate four access devices, such as door strikes, magnetic locks, automatic doors, barrier gates, and automatic sliding gates. The relay outputs can also be used for alarm contact shunting, operator obstacle triggering, and alarm activation. Each of the four relays can also be manually activated from buttons on the front of the AM3Plus. LED indicators display the status of each relay.

Request-to-Exit Inputs

Each relay channel has a request-to-exit input. These inputs are supplied for hardwire activation of the access devices. Typically a request-to-exit input is wired to a pushbutton inside of the access controlled area. When a person desires to exit, pressing the pushbutton will activate the output relay channel and trigger the access device. A loop detector for automatic gate operation can be connected to a request-to-exit input.

Sensing Inputs

The sensing inputs connect to door switches that monitor whether the controlled door is open or closed. The sensing inputs may alternately be programmed as “access inhibit” inputs for use with an external timer or service switch.

Optional Modem

A modular connector is provided for telephone line connection to the unit’s optional 33.6K baud modem. The system can be accessed remotely for programming and control over the standard telephone system using a personal computer with a modem. For system backup, a computer connected through the modem can store and retrieve the AM3Plus memory data.

RS-232 Communications Port

A modular connector is provided for the bi-directional 38.4K baud RS-232 port. The AM3Plus RS-232 port connects to a personal computer’s COM port. System programming can be performed locally with a computer connected to the RS-232 port.

Obstacle Detection

Linear’s Model MGT safety edge transmitter is compatible with the AM3Plus. The MGT detects and transmits obstacle events to a remote receiver connected to the AM3Plus.

Programming Memory

The AM3Plus fl ash memory retains all entry codes, transmitter information, card access, and programming, even without power.

Battery Backup

The system supports a 12-volt battery backup for operation during power outage. The system will charge the backup battery when AC power is present.

Network Support

Multiple AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, & AM3Plus units can be networked together via three-wire RS-485 cables or through modems allowing information sharing between the units. A common event log is retained for all of the networked units.

Linear PBUS Ports

Two 6-wire Linear PBUS input/output ports are available to connect to several accessories (keypads, proximity readers, remote receivers). A typical application for a remote keypad or reader would be to control additional doors or gates.
