Linear AK-11 Digital Keyless Entry System User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Linear’s AK-11 is a digital keyless entry system designed for access control applications. The keypad is housed in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal or bolted directly to a wall. The die-cast keys have bright, easy-to-read yellow graphics. Up to 480 entry codes, from 1 to 6 digits in length, can be programmed. They can activate either, or both, of the relay outputs. Relay #1 has a 5 Amp capacity. Relay #2 has a 1 Amp capacity. Two LED indicators show the status of the entry system. The left LED lights red to indicate power, then turn green when access is granted. The right LED lights are yellow when the keypad is in “lockout” condition (from too many incorrect code entries). The keypad’s courtesy light can be always off, always on, or be programmed to illuminate from 1-4 minutes after any keypress (default 2 minutes). An internal sounder beeps when each key is pressed. The DOOR SENSE/INHIBIT input can be used in two ways. If programmed for “door sense”, a switch on the door detects forced entry or door-ajar situations. If programmed for “inhibit”, the input can be wired to a “service” switch or automatic timer that will disable Relay #1 when required.
The REQUEST-TO-ENTER input can be wired to a pushbutton or fire access key switch to provide codeless entry for authorized personnel. The “anti-passback” feature prevents using the same code twice before the programmed time elapses. The ALARM SHUNT output activates when access is granted. This output can be wired to shunt alarm contacts on the access door/gate to prevent the triggering of an alarm when authorized access occurs. Two solid state outputs, capable of switching 100 mA to common, are programmable to signal forced entry, door ajar, lockout, alarm circuit shunting, request-to-enter, and keypad active conditions. The AK-11 is powered by a 12-24 Volt AC or DC source. Power can be obtained from the access device or a separate power supply. The EEPROM memory retains all entry codes and programming, even without power.

COMPONENT LOCATIONS
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSTALLATION
To avoid damage to the unit from static discharges, connect the EARTH GROUND
terminal to a good earth grounding point. The suggested wiring size is 18 AWG
for earth ground and power (up to 500 feet of 18 AWG wire can be run for
power, use larger wire for longer runs). Use 22 AWG or larger (depending on
the load) for all other connections.
CAUTION: If the unit is AC powered and one side of the power transformer secondary is connected to the earth ground, connect the grounded side to the “-” power the terminal of the unit. Select a location for the keypad. For door access control installations, mount the keypad near the controlled door. For gate control installations, mount the keypad in a clear view of the gate, but far enough from the gate so the user cannot touch the gate from the keypad.
WARNING: TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, MAKE SURE THAT THE UNIT IS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE SO THAT THE USER CAN NOT TOUCH THE GATE WHILE OPERATING THE KEYPAD. HOWEVER, THE GATE MUST BE FULLY VISIBLE FROM THE KEYPAD.
Pedestal Mounting
The AK-11 keypad can be mounted on a standard pedestal.
- Use four security bolts and locking nuts to secure the keypad’s backplate to the pedestal (see Figure 3).
Wall Mounting
The AK-11 keypad can be mounted directly to a wall or flat surface.
- Use the appropriate fasteners to secure the keypad’s backplate to the mounting surface.
- When mounting the keypad to a concrete wall, use concrete wedge anchors or molly anchors (see Figure 4).
Gate Control
Route four wires between the gate and the keypad (two for power, and two for
control). Connect the gate operator’s auxiliary or radio power output
terminals to the keypads POWER input terminals (observe wiring polarity).
Connect the gate operator’s OPEN terminals to the keypad’s Relay #1 COMMON &
N.O. terminals.
NOTE: For operator wiring specifics, refer to the gate operator’s wiring
diagram. If a request-to-enter pushbutton or fire access key switch is going
to be used, route two wires from the keypad to the normally open switch.
Connect the wires to the normally open switch and to the keypad’s REQUEST-TO-
ENTER and COMMON terminals.
If an inhibit switch or timer is going to be used, route two wires from the
keypad to the inhibit switch or timer relay. Connect the inhibit switch/timer
terminals to the keypad’s INHIBIT and COMMON terminals.
NOTE: If the INHIBIT input is going to be used, it must be programmed to
select that input type. See the Programming Options section of this manual.
Door Control
Install a low-voltage electric door strike for unlocking the door. Choose a
location for the power supply or transformer. Route two wires between the
power supply and the keypad. Connect the power supply’s output terminals to
the keypad’s POWER input terminals (observe wiring polarity). Route two wires
between the door strike and the keypad. Connect one of the door strike wires
to the keypad’s Relay
#1 N.O. terminal
Connect the other door strike wire to the keypad’s POWER + terminal.
Connect a wire between the keypad’s POWER – terminal and the Relay #1 COMMON
terminal. If a request-to-enter pushbutton or fire access key switch is going
to be used, route two wires from the keypad to the normally open switch.
Connect the wires to the normally open switch and to the keypad’s REQUEST-TO-
ENTER and COMMON terminals. To use the door sense feature to detect forced
entry or door ajar conditions, install a normally closed door switch on the
door and route two wires from the switch to the keypad. Connect the door
switch to the keypad’s DOOR SENSE and COMMON terminals. If an inhibit switch
or timer is going to be used, route two wires from the switch or timer to the
keypad. Connect the inhibit switch/timer terminals to the keypad’s INHIBIT and
COMMON terminals.
NOTE : Either door sense or inhibit can be used. Both features cannot be
used at the same time.

BASIC PROGRAMMING
When the AK-11 is in programming mode, both LEDs will turn off until
programming begins. After a programming option number is entered the yellow
LED will blink. This indicates that the AK-11 is ready to accept the new
programming data. After the new data entry is complete, the green LED will
light while the data is being stored. The red LED will light if any
programming data is entered incorrectly, and the command will have to be fully
re-entered.

AK-11 OPERATION
- Users of the AK-11 have up to 40 seconds to key in their entry code.
- Up to eight seconds are allowed between each keystroke.
- All digits of the entry code must be entered.
- Example: If the code is 0042, the user must enter “0 0 4 2”.
- If the wrong key is pressed, pressing the * key will reset the keypad. The correct code can then be re-entered.
- After a correct code is entered, the red LED will turn green and the programmed relay will activate for the programmed time.
- If the number of incorrect codes entered exceeds the keypad lockout count, the yellow LED will light, indicating that the keypad is locked out.
- The lockout will remain for one minute.
- After a valid code has been entered, it will be unusable until the anti-passback time expires.
