Linear AK-11, ACP00748 Stand Alone Exterior Surface-mount Digital Keypad
The Linear AK-11 ACP00748 is a self-contained digital keypad made for access control jobs that need a durable hardwired code-entry station. It is commonly used at vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, doors, parking entrances, warehouse access points, office buildings, and other commercial locations where users enter a programmed code to trigger a relay or other control output. Compared with a simple residential keypad, the AK-11 gives the installer more control options, including multiple outputs, timers, door-related inputs, and security functions that can be useful on commercial access points.
The AK-11 is not a radio remote and it is not a telephone entry system. It must be powered and wired to the equipment it is controlling. The two Form C relays are commonly used for dry-contact style activation, while the solid-state outputs and auxiliary inputs allow more advanced applications when the access control design calls for them. Correct fitment depends on the voltage available at the keypad location, the input type on the gate operator or lock controller, the number of users, and whether the site needs features such as request-to-exit, inhibit, alarm shunt, or timed anti-passback. For replacements, match AK-11 / ACP00748 to the existing keypad label and wiring layout.

Technician Note
The AK-11 can be very flexible, but that flexibility means the wiring and programming should be checked carefully. Relay output, power voltage, input type, and timer programming all affect how the keypad works with the connected gate or door equipment.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the keypad model is AK-11 / ACP00748
- Verify available power is suitable for the keypad
- Confirm whether the equipment needs a Form C relay, normally open contact, normally closed contact, or another output type
- Check user code capacity and programming needs
- Confirm wall or pedestal mounting hardware
- Review whether request-to-exit, door sense, inhibit, or alarm shunt wiring is required
Professional Advisory
For gate and door access control, do not bypass required safety devices, egress devices, fire release requirements, or monitored protection. Use a qualified technician where lock power, gate operator wiring, or code-required access control is involved.
Product Q&A
Is the AK-11 wireless?
No. The AK-11 is a standalone hardwired keypad. It is typically wired to power and to the gate operator, door controller, strike, mag lock, or other access input.
How many user codes can the AK-11 store?
The AK-11 is commonly listed for up to 480 programmable entry codes, with programming options that can assign codes to different outputs.
Can the AK-11 be used outdoors?
Yes. It uses a rugged cast aluminum enclosure and is commonly used for exterior wall or pedestal mounting, but the installation still needs proper weather-resistant wiring and mounting.
Will this keypad work with any gate opener?
It may be used with many gate operators that accept a compatible keypad relay output. Confirm the operator input, power source, wiring method, and safety device setup before ordering.
What is the difference between AK-11 and a telephone entry system?
The AK-11 is a keypad for code entry. It does not call tenants or residents. A telephone entry unit such as an AE-100 is used when visitor calling and remote access granting are required.
