INTRODUCTION
The AM-KP keypad is designed for use with Linear’s
AM/II access control system. The keypad is housed in a
rugged cast aluminum enclosure. The die-cast keys have
bright, easy-to-read yellow graphics. Each key has a
positive tactile “click” feel when pressed. An internal
sounder signals when a key is pressed.
The keypad can be mounted to a pedestal or directly to
a wall. A keylock secures the keypad to the mounting
backplate.
An incandescent panel lamp lights the keypad for
nighttime use. Red, green and yellow indicators show
power, access and lockout conditions.
The AM-KP is normally powered from the AM/II control,
or can be powered locally from a 12 VDC power supply.
Robust static and lightning protection circuits safeguard
the keypad’s electronics.
A rotary switch selects the keypad’s device address.
Each device connected to the AM/II must be set to a
different device address.
