PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Linear’s RE-1 Telephone Entry System is designed for residential
or light commercial access control applications. The speakerphone,
keypad, radio receiver, and optional video camera are housed in
a rugged enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal or bolted
directly to a wall. The die-cast keypad keys have bright, easy-to-
read graphics and are lit with an overhead light. The two operation
buttons; CALL and HELP, are machined for heavy-duty reliability.
Operation
Arriving visitors will approach the unit and place a call to the
residence by pressing the CALL button. The RE-1 will acquire the
residence’s local telephone line and generate distinctive rings to the
house telephones. The resident, knowing that the distinctive ring is
originating from the access area, can answer any house telephone
and converse with the visitor. If the resident decides to grant access
to the visitor, they can activate either output relay in the RE-1 by
pressing a key on the telephone’s keypad. If the resident decides
not to grant access, hanging up or pressing a key will disconnect
the visitor’s call.
Call Waiting
If the resident is using the telephone at the time a visitor calls, the
RE-1 will sound beeps on the telephone line to announce that a
visitor is calling. The resident can press a key on the telephone to
place the outside caller on hold and communicate with the visitor.
After granting or denying access to the visitor, the outside caller will
be re-connected to the resident.
Call Forwarding
Programmable call forwarding allows the RE-1 to dial any selected
telephone number when a visitor presses the CALL button. For
example, with call forwarding enabled, the RE-1 could dial a cell
phone to contact the resident while outside or away from the
residence. The resident will be able to communicate with the visitor
and grant or deny access from the remote telephone.
Alternate Numbers
For installations where multiple residences exist inside the same
controlled opening (such as a guest house or granny fl at) three
alternate calling numbers can be programmed. The alternate
numbers can be called by entering a short code at the keypad.
Local Control
The resident can issue control commands from the local telephones
without a call from a visitor. By dialing a specifi c series of digits, the
resident can control either of the two relays. The resident can also
initiate voice communications with the entry system.
Access Media
Up to 100 entry codes, from 1 to 6 digits in length, can be
programmed. Each entry code can activate either, or both, of the
relay outputs. Linear’s Model AM-KP keypad can be used as a
secondary remote keypad for the RE-1.
Up to 24 sets of block coded MegaCode ® transmitters (up to
100 transmitters total) can be used to gain access through the
RE-1’s built-in radio receiver. Each transmitter can be individually
suspended or re-activated. One facility code can be programmed
to identify each block of transmitters. Programming of individual
(non-block coded) transmitters is not supported by the RE-1.
