Linear 2110-496, Door Intercom W/ Call & Reader
The Linear 2110-496 is a door intercom assembly with call and reader functions for controlled entry points where visitor communication and credential access are both needed at the same location. It is commonly used around commercial gates, barrier-gate lanes, controlled doors, and operator-mounted access points where a user needs to call the site and/or present a credential before access is released.
This type of component is usually selected as part of a larger Linear access control or operator system, not as a standalone gate opener. The wiring method, reader technology, controller input, and relay interface must match the equipment already installed. It is especially important to confirm whether the site needs the call-and-reader version, the call-and-encoder version, or a different intercom/access station before ordering.
Compatible With
- Linear BGU barrier gate controller applications where a 2110-496 door intercom with call and reader is specified
- Linear BGT barrier gate controller applications where supported by the system wiring and controller
- Linear GSLG gate operator/access control applications where a call and reader station is required
- Linear PLT and related Linear barrier-gate or access-control installations when confirmed by controller documentation
- Commercial door or gate entry points using compatible Linear access control input wiring
- Not a direct replacement for encoder-only, keypad-only, or telephone-entry stations unless the part number and function match

Technician Note
Confirm the reader function and controller interface before ordering. A call-and-reader assembly is not automatically interchangeable with a call-and-encoder assembly, keypad station, or telephone entry unit.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the existing unit is marked 2110-496 or the parts list calls for 2110-496.
- Verify the connected Linear controller/operator family, such as BGU, BGT, GSLG, or PLT, where applicable.
- Check whether the site needs a reader, encoder, keypad, telephone entry, or intercom-only station.
- Confirm wiring, power, relay, and credential technology requirements before replacing the device.
- Use a qualified access control technician for wiring or controller changes.
Professional Advisory
Access control devices can affect site security and gate safety. Do not bypass access control or safety circuits to make a mismatched station work. Verify the system wiring and controller documentation before installation.
Important Ordering Warnings
- 2110-496 and 2110-498-BT are related door intercom listings but are not the same function.
- Reader technology and controller compatibility must be confirmed before ordering.
Product Questions & Answers
What does the Linear 2110-496 do?
It combines a door or gate intercom call function with a reader interface for controlled entry applications.
Can 2110-496 be used on Linear BGU or GSLG systems?
It is commonly listed with Linear BGU, BGT, GSLG, PLT, and related Linear access control applications when the controller and wiring support it.
No. 2110-498-BT is commonly described as a call-and-encoder version. Confirm the exact function required before ordering.
Does this replace a full telephone entry system?
Not usually. This is a door intercom with call and reader functions, not a full multi-tenant telephone entry system unless the site design specifically uses it that way.
What should be checked before replacing it?
Confirm the part number, reader type, wiring, controller input, and whether the existing system uses a call button, reader, encoder, or keypad function.
