Installation Information - Linear RE-1 Installation, Programming And Operation Instructions

INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Before beginning installation, please review the entire instructions
and become familiar with the system's operation, wiring, and
programmable options.
System Location
For pedestrian door or gate installations, mount the Entry System
on a rigid wall near the controlled door. Avoid mounting the unit
in a location where regular mechanical shock will occur due to a
slamming door or spring loaded pedestrian gate.
For vehicular gate installations, mount the Entry System in clear
view of the gate, but far enough from the gate so the user cannot
touch the gate from the keypad.
★ WARNING FOR ALL GATE INSTALLATIONS: TO AVOID
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, MAKE SURE THAT THE
UNIT IS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE SO THAT THE
USER CANNOT TOUCH THE GATE WHILE OPERATING
THE KEYPAD. HOWEVER, FOR SAFETY, THE GATE
MUST BE FULLY VISIBLE FROM THE KEYPAD.
RFI Filter Installation
An in-line ferrite RFI fi lter has been included with this unit to install
during the wiring of the RE-1 Residential Telephone Entry System.
✦ NOTE: To insure FCC Part 15 Class B compliance, the following steps
must be performed at the time the RE-1 is installed.
1. Open the ferrite RFI fi lter case by gently pulling on the side locking
tab and swinging the case open (see Figure 1).
★ CAUTION: The ferrite parts of the RFI fi lter are fragile.
DO NOT DROP THE FILTER ON A HARD SURFACE!
Damage to the fi lter may result.
2. After completing the RE-1 installation, route all wires except the
AC transformer and telephone lines through the grove in the ferrite
core of the RFI fi lter. The fi lter must be installed outside of the RE-1
case. With the wires captured inside, close the ferrite RFI fi lter case
and snap it shut (see Figure 1).
✦ NOTE: Be sure the fi lter is located no further than two inches from the
rear case cover of the RE-1.

Telephone Wires
The quality of the system's audio communications is related to the
type of telephone wire and its installation. Noise and hum can be
introduced into the telephone wires. Use only high-quality telephone
wire rated for direct underground burial. All telephone wire should
be twisted-pair.
• Minimum size of 24 AWG for up to 800 feet.
• Minimum size of 22 AWG for up to 1600 feet.
• Minimum size of 20 AWG for up to 2200 feet.
• Minimum size of 18 AWG for up to 3600 feet.
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.
Power Supply
Use the supplied 16-volt 20-VA transformer to power the RE-1.
DO NOT POWER ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT FROM THE SAME
TRANSFORMER, use a separate power supply. Keep the system
power wires as short as practical to reduce the chance of noise and
hum pickup.
• For low voltage power wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, THHN
600-volt insulated wire.
• For low voltage power wire runs up to 200 feet, use 16 AWG, THHN
600-volt insulated wire.
• Use 22 AWG or larger (depending on the load) for all other
connections.
ALWAYS REMOVE POWER PRIOR TO SERVICING
Earth Ground
To avoid damage to the unit from static discharges, connect the
RE-1's EARTH GROUND and case ground terminals to a good
earth grounding point within 10 feet. The case ground terminal is
the #8 screw located on the backplate above the wire entry hole.
Also, the RE-1's Telephone Bypass Module must be grounded to
provide surge protection for the telephone line. Suggested wiring
size is 12 AWG for earth ground.
Removable Terminal Strips
For convenience, the RE-1 is provided with removable terminal
strips. It is important that these strips be removed evenly in order to
avoid causing permanent damage to them.
1. Be certain power is off before removing or installing these strips.
2. With a small screwdriver, gently slide the blade between the terminal
strip and protective label.
3. Slightly pry fi rst one end, then the other, and then the middle. Repeat
the process until the terminal strip can be removed straight off the circuit
board by hand. Be very careful to not damage circuit board traces.
4. When re-installing the terminal strips, press down straight and evenly.
Do not remove or install one end fi rst. This will bend pins on the circuit
board, which will damage the terminal strip internally. This damage
is permanent and can not be repaired by simply straightening the
pins on the circuit board.
✦ NOTE: Unscrew the terminal screws several turns before inserting
wires.
