For telephone entry and programming, the AE-1000 connects to a 
standard telephone line. 

Important Telephone Wiring Tips

•  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.

•  All telephone wiring must be made on the “building” side of the 

telephone company’s demarcation device (the terminal block 
where the telephone line connects to the building).

•  If any security system or personal alert system at the installation is 

connected to the telephone line, be sure that it is connected to the 
line ahead of the AE-1000 using a RJ-31X or RJ-38X interface.

•  Use only high-quality telephone wire. All telephone wire should be 

twisted-pair with a minimum size of 24 AWG.

Typical Telephone Wiring

1A. If using the AE-1000 modular connector for the telephone 

connection, connect a double-ended modular cable between the 
AE-1000’s PHONE jack and the modular telephone jack wired to 
the installation’s telephone line.

1B. If using the AE-1000 terminal block for the telephone connection, 

before connecting the telephone line, check the polarity of the 
wires with a DC voltmeter. Connect the negative wire (usually 
green) to the RING terminal. Connect the positive wire (usually 
red) to the TIP terminal.

If wireless transmitters are going to be used in the system a remote 
antenna must be installed to provide reception for the AE-1000.
A basic antenna kit is supplied with the AE-1000. The kit contains a 
whip antenna, connector, and a 36” length of coax cable. The antenna 
connector should be mounted on a metal surface using a 3/8” hole.
Two other models of antennas are compatible with the AE-1000. The 
Model EXA-1000 is a non-directional antenna. The Model EXA-2000 is 
a directional antenna used in installations where transmitted signals are 
desired to be received only in a particular direction.

✦ NOTE: Up to 50 feet of type RG-59 coax can be used to connect 

1.  Install the antenna. (See installation instructions if using the 

EXA-1000 or EXA-2000.)

2.  Connect the antenna coax cable to the antenna and route the 

cable to the AE-1000.

3.  Connect the cable to the AE-1000’s ANTENNA connector.

Receiver Range Control

The AE-1000 has a RECEIVER RANGE adjustment knob. In some 
installations, it may be necessary to reduce the effective radio range of 
the receiver to limit the distance that transmitters can be used. Reducing 
the radio’s sensitivity may also help in installations where unwanted 
interference is overpowering signals from transmitters.

1.  After the installation and system programming is complete, 

adjust the RECEIVER RANGE knob to suit the installation. Test 
transmitters from typical locations that they will be used. Set the 
radio range so the receiver can activate from transmitters from 
about 25% more distance than required.
