The Linear AP-5 Wireless Access Controller is a versatile access control solution designed to manage up to two gates, doors, mag-locks, barrier gates, or automatic gate operators. Its compact wireless design makes installation simple while providing dependable performance for residential, commercial, industrial, and perimeter security applications.
Featuring a built-in high-gain superheterodyne receiver, the AP-5 can receive transmitter signals from distances up to 500 feet under typical conditions. For installations requiring extended range, the controller is compatible with the optional Linear EXA-2000 directional antenna.
The AP-5 supports up to 480 Linear MegaCode transmitters and up to 238 programmable entry codes, making it ideal for communities, apartment complexes, commercial facilities, parking areas, and gated properties. Flexible relay operation allows timed, latch-on, latch-off, or toggle activation to accommodate a wide variety of access control requirements.
The controller also supports MGT safety edge transmitters for entrapment protection, continuously monitoring transmitter status, tamper signals, and low-battery conditions to enhance system reliability and safety.
