INTRODUCTION
The AP-1 is designed for a broad range of access control applications. Its wirelessdesign, small size and dual relay outputs make it easily adaptable for a variety of accesscontrol requirements. Typically, the AP-1 is used to control a door strike, barrier gate,automatic gate or automatic door operator.The AP-1 contains a high-gain UHF receiver which uses an external antenna to pickup signals from up to 250 feet away. Up to 169 Linear MegaCode Format transmittersand one Model MGT safety edge transmitter can easily be programmed into the AP-1’smemory. The AP-1 will retain its memory, even without power.Two dry contact relay outputs are standard. One relay is the ACCESS RELAY, whichtriggers for two seconds each time a programmed transmitter is activated. This relayoutput connects to the pushbutton or radio input of the access device. The second relayis the OBSTACLE RELAY, which triggers for two seconds when an obstacle signal issent from a Model MGT safety edge transmitter. This relay output connects to theobstacle input of the access device. An OPEN REQUEST input terminal is supplied forhardwire activation of the access device with an external pushbutton. The AP-1 can be powered from 12-24 Volts AC or DC. The Form C relay outputs canswitch up to 1 Amp each. An EARTH GROUND terminal is provided as an optionalconnection for maximum lightning and static protection.Five special utility functions can be displayed by pressing the pound (#) key then thedigits 1-5. They display the status of the obstacle transmitter, the number of emptyprogramming locations, the total number of transmitters programmed, first availableprogramming location and firmware version number.The AP-1 can fully supervise the MGT safety edge transmitter. The system monitorsthe MGT transmitter for hourly status reports, tamper signals and low battery signals.A beep will sound every 5 seconds if a fault occurs and the trouble source can bedisplayed by pressing pound (#)-1. For a trouble indication, a transmitter must beactivated twice to trigger the ACCESS RELAY if a supervisory condition exists on theMGT transmitter.

MOUNT RECEIVER
USING THE FOUR
SCREWS PROVIDED
1. Mount receiver in an area
protected from the elements.
2. If using the local whip
antenna, the higher the
receiver is mounted, the
better the radio range will be.
3. Optionally, mount the
receiver in a metal cabinet
and use an external antenna.
Attach local whip
antenna directly to
receiver. Bend whip to
point antenna up.
LOCAL ANTENNA
Mount F-81 connector
on surface using
lockwasher and nut.
Connect to receiver
with coax cable and
screw whip antenna to
connector.
REMOTE ANTENNA
Use the optional
EXA-1000 antenna
mounted as high as
possible for best radio
range. Connect to
receiver with RG-59
coax cable.
