AP-4, AP-5 – New Remotes will not Work After Programming

All transmitters (remotes) are shipped with an access code and a Facility Code. While the access code is required when programming transmitters, the Facility Code is optional.
Often, when someone programs a block of transmitters, they will also program the Facility Code. At a later date, if someone else programs transmitters and they happen to be a different Facility Code, they won’t work.
The simplest “fix” for this situation is to “zero out” the facility codes in the receiver. By doing this, the receiver will grant access to any transmitter programmed in to it, regardless of the Facility Code.

AP-4, AP-5 – Obtain Transmitter Code?

To obtain the code for an unmarked transmitter, press the Transmitter button and note the three numbers on the display (these are the last three numbers of the code). While the three numbers are still visible, press and hold the Display button and note the last two numbers on the display (these are the first two numbers of the code). If the display goes blank before you press the display button, you can press the * (star) key to display the digits again.
EXAMPLE:
1. Press the Transmitter button; the display reads 413
2. Press and hold the Display button; the display reads 0 2 2
Disregard the leading 0, which makes the code for this transmitter: 2 2 4 1 3

AP-4 or AP-5 – Beeps every few seconds. Users have to press their handheld transmitter button twice to trigger the door?

The AP-4 and AP-5 are designed to work with the MGT gate-edge transmitter. The MGT transmitter is battery and loop supervised and reports to the receiver if the battery level is low or if the gate edge cable has been cut. If a normal transmitter is accidently programmed into the receiver and the receiver doesn’t “see” an MGT status signal, the receiver goes into a supervisory mode that causes it to emit a beep every 5 seconds.

When in supervisory mode, in addition to the beeping, the users need to press their transmitter button twice to trigger the gate or door. If an MGT is not present, the installer should uninstall any transmitters programmed into an MGT location.

How do I program cards into my American Access 23-206

(MASTER CODE) + 100 + (STARTING CARD NUMBER) + (ENDING CARD NUMBER)
NOTE: EXAMPLES ARE USING FACTORY DEFAULT MASTER CODE OF 1251
EXAMPLE: TO VALIDATE CARDS 20 THRU 155 1251 + 100 + 0020 +0155

Adding Transmitter to AP-5 Receiver

Press Program for 3 seconds, press 30#, enter transmitter starting ID, press #, enter transmitter ending ID, press #, press (1# for TIMED RELAY or press 2# TO TOGGLE RELAY), press (program to exit program mode).

How far away from my computer can I install my Multi Door Controller?

If your communication cable between the controller & the computer is a serial cable; the maximum distance is 50 feet.

If your communication cable between the controller & the computer is RS-485; the maximum distance is 4000 feet.

How do I program a Megacode remote into a HomeLink system?

Some older automobiles with HomeLink instructed you to hold the remote control’s button for up to 20 seconds. The Megacode remotes stop transmitting after 10 seconds and were difficult to program into the HomeLink system.
The newer instructions from the HomeLink site should be followed:
“Cycle the hand-held transmitter during programming: Press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release the hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator light changes from a slow blink to a rapid flash.”

How can I Extend the Range of my Receiver?

Many Linear receivers are equipped with an ‘F’ connector to attach an external antenna. Linear makes two external antenna models: EXA-1000 (AAE00198) and EXA-2000 (AAE00331). The total length of coax from the receiver to the antenna should not exceed 33′ (9M).
