The AP-3 is designed for a broad range of access control applications. Its wireless design
and small size make it easily adaptable for a variety of access control requirements.
Typically, the AP-3 is used to control a door strike, barrier gate, automatic gate or
automatic door operator.
The AP-3 contains a high-gain UHF receiver which uses an external antenna to pick up
signals from up to 250 feet away. Up to 339 Linear MegaCode® Format transmitters and
one Model MGT safety edge transmitter can easily be programmed into the AP-3's
memory. The AP-3 will retain its memory, even without power.
Two dry contact relay outputs are standard. One relay is the ACCESS RELAY, which
triggers for two seconds each time a programmed transmitter is activated. This relay
output connects to the pushbutton or radio input of the access device. The second relay
is the OBSTACLE RELAY, which triggers for two seconds when an obstacle signal is
sent from a Model MGT safety edge transmitter. This relay output connects to the obstacle
input of the access device. An OPEN REQUEST input terminal is supplied for hardwire
activation of the access device with an external pushbutton or keyswitch.
The AP-3 can be powered from 12-24 Volts AC or DC. The Form C relay outputs can
switch up to 1 Amp each. An EARTH GROUND terminal is provided as an optional
connection for maximum lightning and static protection.
Five special utility functions can be displayed by pressing the pound (#) key then the

of empty programming locations, the total number of transmitters programmed, first

The AP-3 can fully supervise the MGT safety edge transmitter. The system monitors the
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 be displayed by
pressing pound (#)-1. For a trouble indication, a transmitter must be activated twice to
trigger the ACCESS RELAY if a supervisory condition exists on the MGT transmitter.
