Entry System Mounting

The AE-100 cabinet is designed to be mounted three ways:

The unit can be mounted directly to a wall or fl at surface.

 

•

The unit can be mounted recessed into a wall.

 

•

The unit can be mounted on a standard goose-neck pedestal.

 

•

Choose a well lit location near the controlled opening. Wiring access for 
power, telephone, earth ground, and access output must be available to 
the mounting location.

The unit’s main circuit board contains static sensitive electronic 
components that can be damaged or destroyed by static discharges 
during installation. Discharge the static electricity from your body by 
touching a grounded object before touching the unit’s circuit board.

The cabinet can be mounted on a wall or any suitable fl at surface. The 
four 3/8” mounting holes or any of the six self-drill locations can be used 
to attach the cabinet to the surface.

1.  For wall mounting, hold the cabinet at the approximate mounting 

location where the display will be about eye level or slightly above 
(follow ADA mounting requirements in public installations).

2A. If using the 3/8” mounting holes, mark the four mounting 

hole centers. Drill as required. Use the appropriate fasteners 
for the mounting surface to secure the cabinet.

2B. If using the self-drill mounting holes, choose the correct size bit for 

the fasteners and drill the cabinet as required. Use the appropriate 
fasteners for the mounting surface to secure the cabinet.

✦ CAUTION!: After drilling, remove any metal chips from the 

The cabinet can be mounted on a standard goose-neck pedestal. Linear 
offers two types of pedestals. The Model GNC-1 is a 42” high curb-mount 
pedestal (P/N ACP00906), the Model GNB-1 is a 72” high burial-mount 
pedestal (P/N ACP00907).

1.  Fish the wiring through the pedestal and install 

the pedestal at the desired location.

2.  Route the wiring through the large cabinet hole.
3.  Use security hardware to attach the cabinet to the pedestal.

In installations where vandalism is a concern, an internal normally closed 
alarm contact may be added as a tamper switch to the AE-100 providing 
a trigger source for an external alarm panel.
If the AE-100 cabinet is opened for any reason, the internal alarm contact 
will trigger the external alarm panel, reporting the alarm to a central 
monitoring station or other alarm reporting location. The alarm contact 
must be a UL Listed alarm switch using either a magnetic reed switch or 
plunger operated microswitch.
Insure that the additional switch components do not interfere with the 
door lock, optional CCTV camera, or other wiring internal to the AE-100.

✦ NOTE: Be sure that the locked AE-100 cabinet door makes a solid 

The typical location for the tamper switch is in the upper right corner of 
the AE-100 cabinet.
