Introduction
The Model AE2000Plus Telephone Entry & Access Control System
is designed for use as a primary access control device for gated
communities, parking garages, office buildings, apartments, dormitories,
hotels/motels, commercial buildings and recreational facilities.
Housed in a locked, rugged stainless steel faced enclosure, the
AE2000Plus features a lighted keypad with bright, easy-to-read graphics,
a large backlit display with programmable welcome message, a built-in
microphone, speaker, and provision for an optional color CCTV camera.
The cabinet is monitored with a magnetic “tamper” switch.
The four 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. Complete access
control event logging, access time restriction, access location
restriction, and administration functions are also available to manage
the installation.
The AE2000Plus is network ready. Multiple units can be interconnected
on a 3-wire RS-485 network or through modems. The AE2000Plus can
be used in mixed networks with its sister products, the AE1000Plus and
AM3Plus.
Two Wiegand inputs are available for connection of 26, 30, or 31-bit
Wiegand devices (card readers, etc.). Three sets of PBUS inputs are
available for connection to Linear’s line of remote accessories.

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 keys on the AE2000Plus to view the directory names and
directory number for the desired resident. Upon selecting the directory
number, the AE2000Plus 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 AE2000Plus can grant access
using entry codes at the local or remote keypads. Also remote receivers,
card readers, and interior and exterior keypads can be used with the
system.
Block coded MegaCode® transmitters can be used to gain access through
the AE2000Plus’s built-in or remote radio receivers. Each transmitter can
be individually suspended or re-activated.
The system’s clock/calendar can control access based on specific 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
Throughout this manual, multiple-unit networks are referenced. Depending on
the programming method used, networks can contain the following model units:

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.

Feature Overview
Relay Outputs
Four 3-amp dry contact relay outputs are provided to activate access devices,
such as door strikes, magnetic locks, automatic doors, barrier gates, and
automatic sliding gates. The relay outputs can also be used as specialty
outputs for alarm contact shunting, operator obstacle triggering, and alarm
activation. Each of the relays can also be manually activated from buttons on
the AE2000Plus circuit board. 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.
Built-in Modem
A modular connector is provided for telephone line connection to the unit’s
built-in 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 AE2000Plus’s memory data.
RS-232 Communications Port
A modular connector is provided for the bi-directional 38.4K baud RS-232
port. The AE2000Plus’s 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.
Local Keypad
The local keypad is the system’s primary keypad. The local keypad activates
Relay Channel “A”, but can be programmed for any of the relays.
Postal Lock
The AE2000Plus cabinet has provisions for installing a U.S.P.S. postal lock for
keyed mail carrier access. The postal lock will activate Relay Channel “A”, but
can be programmed for any of the relays.
Obstacle Detection
Linear’s Model MGT safety edge transmitter is compatible with the AE2000Plus.
The MGT detects and transmits obstacle events to the AE2000Plus.
Programming Memory
The AE2000Plus flash memory retains all entry codes, transmitter information,
card access, and programming, even without power.
Battery Backup
The system supports a 12-volt battery backup or uninterruptable power supply
for operation during power outage. The system does not charge the backup
battery, an external battery charger is required to maintain the battery.
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
Three 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.

Important Mounting Requirements
The AE2000Plus Telephone Entry System can be installed for public
or private use. The mounting requirements will vary depending on
the installation. Review the following information before beginning the
installation.

Mounting Environment
Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location. The
AE2000Plus is designed for direct outdoor installations, however, it is
preferable to protect the unit from extreme exposure to sun, driving rain,
or snow whenever possible. Mounting the unit in a kiosk can provide extra
environmental protection.

Follow Building Codes
Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing the
system. Proper installation of the AE2000Plus conforming to the local
building codes for access control equipment is a regulatory requirement.
The AE2000Plus installation is an extremely important and integral part
of the overall access control system.

Mounting Location
If the AE2000Plus is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate
the unit as near as practical to the entry point. If the unit is mounted on
or in a wall adjacent to the entry point, be sure the wall is sturdy. The
repeated shock and vibration from a slamming access door or springloaded pedestrian gate must be isolated from the AE2000Plus. NEVER
MOUNT THE UNIT DIRECTLY TO A MOVING DOOR OR GATE!

!

Gate Installations
If the AE2000Plus is used to control a gate operator connected to a
vehicular gate, the unit MUST be mounted AT LEAST 10 feet away from
the gate (open and closed) and gate operator. AT NO TIME SHOULD A
PERSON BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE GATE OR GATE OPERATOR AND
THE AE2000Plus AT THE SAME TIME.

10 FEET
MINIMUM

Vehicle Traffic
Do not mount the AE2000Plus where it extends into any traffic lane. Locate
the gooseneck pedestal or entry kiosk so all parts of the AE2000Plus are
outside the traffic lane. Locate the AE2000Plus clear of any turn-around
lanes vehicles use when access is denied.

Important Telephone Wiring Tips

Typical Telephone Wiring
1A. If using the AE2000Plus modular connector for the telephone
connection, connect a double-ended modular cable between the
AE2000Plus PHONE jack and the modular telephone jack wired to
the installation’s telephone line.
1B. If using the AE2000Plus terminal block for the telephone
connection, before connecting the telephone line, check the
polarity of the wires with a DC voltmeter. Connect the negative wire
(usually green) to the RING terminal. Connect the positive wire
(usually red) to the TIP terminal.

EARTH
TIP
RING

• DO NOT ROUTE TELEPHONE AND AC WIRING INSIDE THE
SAME CONDUIT. Route all telephone wires inside a dedicated
conduit that is at least six inches away from any AC line wiring.
• All telephone wiring must be made on the “building” side of the
telephone company’s demarcation device (the terminal block
where the telephone line connects to the building).
• If any security system or personal alert system at the installation is
connected to the telephone line, be sure that it is connected to the
line ahead of the AE2000Plus using a RJ-31X or RJ-38X interface.
• Use only high-quality telephone wire. All telephone wire should be
twisted-pair with a minimum size of 24 AWG.

Optional Radio Antenna
If wireless transmitters are going to be used in the system a remote
antenna must be installed to provide reception for the AE2000Plus.
A basic antenna kit is supplied with the AE2000Plus. The kit contains a
whip antenna, connector, and a 36” length of coax cable. The antenna
connector should be mounted on a metal surface using a 3/8” hole.
Two other models of antennas are compatible with the AE2000Plus. The
Model EXA-1000 is a non-directional antenna. The Model EXA-2000 is
a directional antenna used in installations where transmitted signals are
desired to be received only in a particular direction.
✦ NOTE: Up to 50 feet of type RG-59 coax can be used to connect
the antenna to the AE2000Plus. Keep the coax as short as possible.
1. Install the antenna. (See installation instructions if using the
EXA-1000 or EXA-2000.)
2. Connect the antenna coax cable to the antenna and route the
cable to the AE2000Plus.
3. Connect the cable to the AE2000Plus ANTENNA connector.

Receiver Range Control
The AE2000Plus has a RECEIVER RANGE adjustment knob. In some
installations, it may be necessary to reduce the effective radio range of
the receiver to limit the distance that transmitters can be used. Reducing
the radio’s sensitivity may also help in installations where unwanted
interference is overpowering signals from transmitters.
1. After the installation and system programming is complete,
adjust the RECEIVER RANGE knob to suit the installation. Test
transmitters from typical locations that they will be used. Set the
radio range so the receiver can activate from transmitters from
about 25% more distance than required.

2. Check voltage at AE2000Plus power terminal strip.

Buzz on speaker
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Check for 24 volt AC power shorted to wiring conduit.
Check for telephone line shorted to ground.
Verify that telephone wires are twisted pair.
Verify that the AE2000Plus is connected to earth ground.
Check 16 VAC voltage at AE2000Plus transformer terminals.

Buzz on telephone line
1. Disconnect 16 VAC wires from terminal strip, if buzz goes away,
one side of the transformer wires is grounded.
2. Check all connections for any shorts to ground.

System will not answer an incoming call
1. Automatic telephone answer disabled.
2. AE2000Plus telephone line trouble.

Entry code will not activate relay
1. Entry code not assigned.
2. Entry code not set up for proper relay.
3. Keypad is in lockout.

Remote PBUS device does not work
1. Check remote device address switch setting.
2. Check remote device for power.
3. Be sure the device is wired correctly.

Main or remote keypad will not activate a relay
1. Entry code is not assigned.
2. Keypad may be in lockout from too many incorrect attempts. Wait
one minute for lockout to clear and try again.
3. Remote keypad wiring incorrect.

Resident’s Telephone does not ring when a visitor calls
1. Resident’s telephone number programmed incorrectly.
2. Check AE2000Plus telephone line.
3. Call resident from another line or cell phone to determine if the
resident’s telephone is working.

Transmitter does not activate relay
1. Transmitter button setting programmed to “none” (would effect all
transmitters).
2. Transmitter not enrolled.
3. Specific transmitter is deactivated in the system.

Poor transmitter radio range
1. Check antenna installation and condition if transmitters were
previously working well.
2. Check the RADIO indicator on the AE2000Plus circuit board. If it
is flickering without activating any transmitters there is interference
blocking the receiver. Try adjusting the RECEIVER RANGE knob
to reduce the receiver’s sensitivity to the interference.
3. Connect an audio amplifier or telephone buttset to the RECEIVER
TEST POINTS (the wire jumpers next to the RECEIVER RANGE
knob). Listen to the sounds of the signals being received. If you
hear the interference, remove power from possible interfering
devices to determine the source of the interference. The antenna
or the interfering device may need to be relocated.
4. Use Model FT-1 to check for interference.
