These remotes are used to activate linear products remotely. The linear products will, in turn, activate the gate opener. The reason for not activating the gate opener directly is some people like the security of the Mega-Code remote. Others like the features of some of the linear products. For example, the AP-5 has 2 relays and can delete one remote without having to change the others. The RE-1 and RE-2 can do that as well and also keep a log of remotes used to enter. Linear’s MegaCode® series of digital transmitters are wireless radio controls designed for use with MegaCode format receivers. The MegaCode radio format provides unparalleled security. Each transmitter is pre-set at the factory to one of over 1,000,000 codes.

The AP-5’s programmable relays make it suitable for environments where you need to control more than one entry, such as a vehicular and a pedestrian gate. The new model also features a programmable access relay activation time, from one to 120 seconds. For swing and slide gates, up to six Linear Model MGT safety edge transmitters that can be assigned for entrapment detection to trigger obstacle outputs.

The AP-5 also is good for use in environments where RF noise or wireless signal interference can be a problem. The controller features a built-in, high-sensitivity, narrowband 318-MHz superheterodyne receiver with an external antenna that can pick up signals from a Linear MegaCode® block-coded transmitter from up to 500 feet away. A whip antenna is supplied as standard, or Linear’s EXA-2000 directional antenna and EXA-1000 omnidirectional antenna are available as options for improved performance.

Each AP-5 supports up to 480 Linear MegaCode® factory block-coded and custom block-coded transmitters. Each of the 480 remote transmitters can be programmed with just a few keystrokes, and since there are no dip switches to set, it is easy to add and suspend transmitters. Including Linear’s MDKP exterior wireless keypads as part of the access control system means you can use any combination of up to 238 individual transmitters and/or MDKP keypad entry codes.

Cool Feature: This receiver has two relays to open two gate openers or gate openers plus a device paired with keypads or remotes. The installer can choose which relay to control via remote or code used in the keypad. This feature works when paired with the MDKP keypad.
