Linear AE-100, ACP00937 Commercial Telephone Entry System One Gate/Door
The Linear AE-100 ACP00937 is a compact commercial telephone entry system used where a visitor needs to call inside and have access granted remotely. It is most often seen at small apartment entries, condo pedestrian gates, office doors, gated community entrances, service yards, and similar access points that do not need the capacity of a larger telephone entry system. The AE-100 combines the visitor keypad, directory display, speaker, microphone, call controls, and access relay in one front-panel assembly, giving the site a practical way to manage controlled entry without using a separate standalone keypad only.
For gate and door work, the important detail is how the AE-100 interfaces with the opening. The system does not replace the gate operator logic board, electric strike power supply, mag lock power supply, or safety controls. It provides a control relay that can be wired into the correct access input when the door hardware or gate operator is designed for that type of command. Mounting style also matters. The same model may be used in surface, recessed, or pedestal/gooseneck layouts only when the correct hardware and site wiring are present. Before ordering for a replacement, compare the model number, tenant capacity, panel style, power, telephone wiring, and relay wiring to the existing installation.

Technician Note
Telephone entry replacements should be matched by model and wiring, not just by front-panel size. Check telephone line type, power transformer, relay wiring, postal lock provisions, camera options, and mounting hardware before removing the old unit.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the existing or required model is AE-100 / ACP00937
- Verify tenant count and directory requirements

- Check surface, recessed, gooseneck, or pedestal mounting requirements
- Confirm 16 VAC power and battery backup needs
- Verify the relay input type on the gate operator, barrier gate, strike, or mag lock controller
Professional Advisory
Telephone entry systems should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with low-voltage access control, gate operator inputs, lock power, fire egress, and safety device requirements.
Product Q&A
How many tenants or codes does the AE-100 support?
The AE-100 is commonly used for up to 125 directory listings or stand-alone entry codes, making it a good fit for smaller commercial and multi-tenant entry points.
Can the AE-100 open a gate operator?
Yes, when the gate operator has a compatible dry-contact or relay input and the system is wired by a qualified technician. The gate safety devices and operator controls must remain in place.
Is the AE-100 only for outdoor use?
No. It can be used in a lobby or outside, depending on the mounting method, site conditions, enclosure placement, and installer design.
Does this unit replace every Linear telephone entry system?
No. Match the existing model number, cabinet size, tenant capacity, wiring, and mounting style. AE-100 is not the same as larger multi-door or high-capacity telephone entry systems.
What should be checked before ordering the AE-100?
Confirm the required tenant capacity, telephone service, 16 VAC power, relay wiring, mounting style, postal lock/camera needs, and whether the entry point is a door, gate, or barrier operator.
