INTRODUCTION
The AP-1 is designed for a broad range of access control applications. Its wireless
design, small size and dual relay outputs make it easily adaptable for a variety of access
control requirements. Typically, the AP-1 is used to control a door strike, barrier gate,
automatic gate or automatic door operator.
The AP-1 contains a high-gain UHF receiver which uses an external antenna to pick
up signals from up to 250 feet away. Up to 169 Linear MegaCode Format transmitters
and one Model MGT safety edge transmitter can easily be programmed into the AP-1’s
memory. The AP-1 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. 
The AP-1 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
digits 1-5. They display the status of the obstacle transmitter, the number of empty
programming locations, the total number of transmitters programmed, first available
programming location and firmware version number.
The AP-1 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.

MOUNT RECEIVER 
USING THE FOUR 
SCREWS PROVIDED
1. Mount receiver in an area 
protected from the elements.
2. If using the local whip 
antenna, the higher the 
receiver is mounted, the 
better the radio range will be.
3. Optionally, mount the 
receiver in a metal cabinet 
and use an external antenna.
Attach local whip 
antenna directly to 
receiver. Bend whip to 
point antenna up.
LOCAL ANTENNA
Mount F-81 connector 
on surface using 
lockwasher and nut. 
Connect to receiver 
with coax cable and 
screw whip antenna to 
connector.
REMOTE ANTENNA
Use the optional 
EXA-1000 antenna 
mounted as high as 
possible for best radio 
range. Connect to 
receiver with RG-59 
coax cable.
