Residential Telephone Entry System
Special Order
The Model RE-2N Residential Telephone Entry System is designed for
residential or light commercial access control applications. The
speakerphone, keypad, radio receiver, and optional color video camera
are housed in a rugged enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal,
bolted directly to a wall, or mounted recessed in a wall with the
optional trim ring. The die-cast keypad keys have bright, easy-to-read
graphics and are lit with overhead lights. 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-2N 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-2N 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-2N 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-2N to dial any selected
telephone number when a visitor presses the CALL button. For example,
with call forwarding enabled, the RE-2N 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 flat) 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 specific series of digits,
the resident can control either of the two relays. The resident an also
initiate voice communications with the entry system.
Access Methods:
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-2N.
Up to 24 sets of block coded MegaCode® transmitters (up to 100
transmitters total) can be used to gain access through the RE-2N's
built-in radio receiver. Each transmitter can be individually suspended
or re-activated. One facility codes can be programmed to identify each
block of transmitters. Programming of individual (non-block coded)
transmitters is not supported by the RE-2N.
System Features
Time Zones:
The RE-2N contains an internal clock and calendar. Seven Programmable
"time zones" allow setting time periods to schedule system functions.
Each time zone can be active or inactive on certain days. Keypad entry
codes, wireless transmitters, automatic access control, call forwarding,
and the "Do Not Disturb" feature can each be set to only be active
during a specific time zone period. Up to ten "holiday" days can be
programmed. Each of the seven time zones can be set to be active or
inactive during a holiday.
Portal Supervision:
The SENSE/INHIBIT input can be used 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 the Relay #1 when
required.
Hardwired Activation:
The OPEN REQUEST input can be wired to an exit loop detector or exit
photo beam to allow automatic exit activation. An emergency access
keyswitch can be mounted in the RE-2N case to allow keyed entry for
authorized personnel.
Access Security:
The "anti-passback" feature allows the option of preventing the use of
the same code or the same transmitter again before the programmed time
elapses. The "keypad lockout" feature discourages tampering by disabling
the keypad for three minutes after a programmable number of incorrect
entry codes has been entered at the keypad.
Event Log:
An access log of up to 450 events is stored in the unit's memory. System
activity is logged as it occurs with the date and time of the event.
The access log data can be retrieved locally or remotely with a computer
through the RE-2N's built-in modem.
Local & Remote Programming:
The system's built-in programming software can be accessed on-site or
off-site using a computer with any Internet browser. The software's
graphic display of each of the programming step makes programming easy.
Without a computer, the RE-2N can be programmed with its main keypad,
from any local telephone connected to the same line, or by calling from
any remote telephone.
The EEPROM memory retains all entry codes, transmitter information, and programming, even without power.
Obstacle Detection:
Linear's Model MGT safety edge transmitter is compatible with the RE-2N.
This MGT detects and transmits obstacle events to the RE-2N receiver.
Obstacle signals from an MGT transmitter will activate Relay #2.
Alarm Interface:
Relay #2 can be programmed for alarm shunt to bypass an alarm loop
during entry, or alarm trigger to cause an alarm during forced entry.
Five other activation options are available for Relay #2.
Voice Synthesizer:
A built-in voice synthesizer sounds voice prompts through the speaker, local and remote telephones.
