Linear ACP00942 AE-100 Telephone Entry System Control Board
The ACP00942 is the main replacement PCB assembly used for the Linear AE-100 telephone entry system. In an AE-100 installation, the control board manages the panel logic, keypad and directory functions, call handling, relay control, and the low-voltage interface to the gate operator or door strike equipment. A failing board may show up as no display activity, unreliable calls, relay output failure, programming loss, keypad response problems, or intermittent entry operation. Those symptoms can also be caused by power, phone-line, wiring, display, keypad, or gate operator input issues, so the panel should be diagnosed before replacing the board. This is a model-specific access-control board and should be matched to the AE-100 panel, not simply to the Linear brand name.

Technician Note
Before replacing an AE-100 board, take clear photos of every wire and record all programming that can be accessed. A replacement board may require setup before the entry system works the same way as before.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the panel is a Linear AE-100.
- Compare the old board number and connector layout.
- Document relay, power, phone-line, keypad, and accessory wiring.
- Confirm whether the display or keypad is also damaged.
- Plan for programming after replacement.
Professional Advisory
Telephone entry systems control property access and often connect to gate operators, door strikes, phone service, and low-voltage power supplies. Board replacement and programming should be performed by a qualified access-control or gate technician when the wiring is not clearly documented.
Questions and Answers
What system uses the ACP00942 board?
The ACP00942 is an OEM-style replacement PCB for the Linear AE-100 telephone entry system.
Is this board for an AE-1000 or AE-500?
No. This listing is written for AE-100 applications. Other Linear telephone entry panels can use different boards and displays.
What should be saved before replacing an AE-100 board?
Where possible, document programming, directory information, wiring positions, relay connections, and phone-line details before board replacement.
Can a failed AE-100 board cause no calls or no gate release?
Yes, but phone-line issues, power supply problems, relay wiring, keypad/display issues, and gate operator input problems can cause similar symptoms.
Should this be installed by a technician?
Yes for most sites. Telephone entry boards involve low-voltage power, phone-line connections, relay outputs, and access-control programming that should be handled carefully.
