PBUS Accessories Accessory Overview AM-RRR REMOTE RADIO RECEIVER AM-3 ACCESS CONTROLLER Several compatible accessories are available to connect to the AM-3’s two 6-wire communications “PBUS” inputs. Up to six PBUS accessories can be used with each AM-3 unit. AM-RRR Remote Radio Receiver For wireless transmitters, connect the Model AMRRR high-gain superheterodyne UHF receiver. The receiver is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure and can be mounted indoors or outdoors.

Important Mounting Requirements The AM-3 Access Control System can be installed for public or private use. The mounting requirements for remote keypads will vary depending on the installation. Review the following information before starting the installation. Mounting Environment Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location.
AM-3 Mounting Standard Cabinet The AM-3 cabinet is designed to be mounted directly to a wall or flat surface. Wiring access for power, telephone, earth ground, control output must be available at the mounting location. For easier wiring, choose a well lit location. Wiring access for remote accessory cables must also be available at the mounting location. 1. Flip the cabinet’s cover up to unlock the hinges and remove the cover from the case. 2.
Relay Output Wiring Any of the four relay outputs channels (A-D) can be used to control access devices on doors or gates. Door or Pedestrian Gate Control 1. Install a low voltage electric door strike or magnetic lock as a locking device for the door or pedestrian gate. 2. Install the power supply or transformer for the locking device. DO NOT POWER THE AM-3 FROM THIS POWER SUPPLY. 3. Connect one wire from the power supply to one wire from the locking device. 4.
Power, Battery, & Ground Wiring Power Wiring POWER TERMINALS AC-DC AC-DC ✦ NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. TURN MASTER POWER SWITCH OFF BEFORE WIRING. 1. Route two wires between the AM-3 and the power transformer. • For power wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, 600-volt insulated wire. • For power wire runs up to 200 feet, use 16 AWG, 600-volt insulated wire. 2. Connect the wires to the transformer. Connect the other end of the wires to the AM-3 AC1 & AC2 terminals.
Telephone Wiring For programming, the AM-3 connects to a standard telephone line. ✦ NOTE: The optional Model ACM-1 modem is required for telephone communications to the AM-3 controller. 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.
The two AM-3 Wiegand inputs (READER A & B) can connect to a large variety of 26, 30, and 31-bit Wiegand output accessories. The Wiegand format is a common standard for access control equipment. A typical application would be to add swipe card or proximity readers to the system. ✦ NOTE: Depending on the Wiegand accessory used, the LED1, LED2, and HOLD connections may not be required. • LED1 output is switched to ground during non-access time.
Optional Network Connection Linear’s AM-3, AE-1000, & AE-2000 Access Control Systems can be connected together in a network. A network will allow sharing programming and user information between the systems. Program each unit to a different network Node Address. Network wiring conforms to 3-wire RS-485 electrical specifications. Units connected in the network can be wired using one unit as a “hub” or by wiring from one unit to the next in “daisy-chain” fashion. See the figures for wiring options.
System Controls Pushbuttons Refer to the figure for the location of each of the eight pushbuttons. • SYSTEM RESTART BUTTON will reboot the system’s microcontroller. NO SYSTEM INFORMATION WILL BE ERASED. STATUS/PROGRAM DISPLAY SYSTEM RESTART BUTTON • ENTER BUTTON press to accept the value on the STATUS/PROGRAM display during programming, press to clear an indication during the supervisory display. • “UP” BUTTON adds one to the value on the STATUS/PROGRAM display.
System Diagnostics Several indicators on the AM-3 are for monitoring the system during operation. When calling for technical assistance, Linear’s Technical Services Department may ask the installer to use these indicators to diagnose the system. ACCESS GRANTED NETWORK DECODE NETWORK HOST ON-LINE VALIDATE Indicators 15 LED indicators are on the AM-3. Refer to the figure for the location of each indicator. • POWER lights when AC or DC power is present.
Troubleshooting System completely dead 1. No power from transformer. Check voltage at AM-3 transformer terminals. System will not answer an incoming call 1. Automatic telephone answer disabled. 2. AM-3 telephone line trouble. 3. ACM-1 Modem not installed or not installed correctly (check that all the modem pins are correctly in the modem socket). Entry code will not activate relay 1. Entry code not set up for proper relay. Remote PBUS device does not work 1. Check remote device address switch setting. 2.
