How to Wire a Linear Access Control System

[@robertmcgehee949]

Trunk slammer special right there!

[@Ernesto-p4o]

Don’t ever rely on you panel or software to unlock you door with a REX button, ALWAYS wire the REX button in series with your lock!

wish i had seen a video like this when I was installing mine

[@joshbeasley21]

Your maglock is on the unsecure side of the door. Also no anchor or retro box was used, I could easily take the reader off the wall, short the power wires together and everything on that circuit will now have no power, not to mention that reader port on the controller is now fried.

[@andyharris3084]

I was thinking exactly the same on watching this video.

[@JS.990]

Its a demonstration not an actual job site.

[@aduemmanuel1284]

Good job

[@samaadkhan]

Amazing bro

[@statracing1]

We currently have a Linear 212SE, can we use that is conjunction with this unit so we can change pin codes remotely?

[@michaelknight2897]

Is it possible to wire in a switch (lock/unlock) to the mercury board? The door is on a schedule, but the office person wants to lock it when they are out of the office and doesn't want to manual locks.

[@peterwilson4871]

With you mag lock install you forgot to install the locating pins on the armature it is also to low to get a seal on a monitored mag lock

[@GrenPara]

Pretty Good video. Thou did not cover type of Reader wire, gauge, shielded or non-shielded , twisted pair or regular. Do not be lazy! wires should be soldered and then heat shrinked and then taped to prevent damage from running new lines or removal.

[@paulm4745]

if i wanted to wire an automatic gate to the system, would i use just and 18/2 from control panel to automatic gate panel? If so, where on automatic gate panel would i wire it to? thanks

[@NellysSecurity]

Hi Paul, Im not sure where you would wire it to the gate panel but it should be doable.

[@joshbeasley21]

Paul, you would wire it to the open command on the gate Operator. Every gate operator has a open, close, and stop terminal. So a wire from the strike relay if using a card reader, or a N/O Input if your wanting to open the gave via stationary button or through software. Very simple, the gate just needs a contact closure to open.

This reader can be changed to a Barcode Scanner .. ?!

[@maximumwoof8662]

those blue things are called "wire nuts"

[@JS.990]

Idk why a lot of low voltage technicians still use wire nuts, i use Dolphin Crimp connectors.

[@Star-kp8oc]

J Sanchez yup blue dolphins does the trick.

[@steve7680]

Does the Linear have a place for the Red and Green LEDs from the Card Reader? (Brown and Orange wires)

[@NellysSecurity]

Wiring diagram shows LED terminal for each door.

Hello there I need some help I have the same power supply and mag lock that's in the video I'm installation it on my gate the drive way is about 100 feet long from the house when ever I try to ring the door bell from the gate it doesn't ring and the mag locking force is weak the wire am using is CAT 5 and the power supply is in the living 5AMP power supply am using!

[@nicholasgaribay1758]

Your using the wrong wire cat5 or cat 6 is usually used for cams and data. You need 18/6 or 18/4 stranded wire you can find some at an electrical supply house

[@jeromeswaby5261]

Ok thanks question the 18/6 or 18/4 how many wires are inside the wire?

[@nicholasgaribay5831]

@@jeromeswaby5261 It is as it says 18 gauge 6 strand 18 gauge 4 strand

[@jeromeswaby5261]

@@nicholasgaribay5831 ok thanks

[@RacelifeCo]

What happens in the event of a power failure? Does your door unlock if there's no power to the building?

[@NellysSecurity]

It depends on how you have it setup. If it is "Fail Safe" that means it will unlock when power is cut. If "Fail Secure", doors will remain locked when power is cut.

[@RacelifeCo]

@@NellysSecurity would that require a battery backup then?

[@NellysSecurity]

@@RacelifeCo A battery backup is always good on a Access Control system, but worse case if a battery backup dies, thats when fail safe and fail secure come into play.

[@maximumwoof8662]

if it's a mag lock, it's "fail safe"... no power, no lockey...

[@chrisp1850]

I'm running into issues where my circuit boards are no longer powering up. This happened after a failed battery backup.

Hey Chris, id recommend reaching out to our support - [e-mail] / 855-340-9999

[@emmannew6740]

Can you connect access to auto ops?

[@NellysSecurity]

If it has NO/NC switch you should be able to. Also depending on the type of operation you are looking for.

[@noushadup9347]

Videos was helpfull but Very annoying sound

[@NellysSecurity]

thanks for watching

[@garretthigginbotham6122]

WEEEOOOOOWEEEEOOOWEEEEEOOOO

[@everywhereed362]

Any video on how u run the wire

[@NellysSecurity]

Unfortunately we do Not and its mainly because every install is different.

[@ekeneokafor3311]

what is the cable type you use for connecting reader to controller?

[@NellysSecurity]

Recommended is 18 gauge stranded solid copper. so 18/6 or 18/4

[@adriansanche1485]

Slap them mudrings on bro lol

[@patersondash5531]

We hear the song more then you

[@craigharmon5462]

I like your videos except for the super loud annoying music at the beginning of the video. Why do instructional videos have these loud annoying music segways? I don't do the loud annoying music in my videos. I prefer not giving people headaches.

[@NellysSecurity]

Understood Craig, We certainly have upped our production quality over recent years since releasing this video!

[@royochola]

How about the demonstration of wiring on the table at least we know which cable is used where
