Linear RE-2N Nickel Telephone Entry System
The Model RE-2 Residential Telephone Entry System is designed for residential or light commercial access control applications. The speakerphone, keypad, radio receiver, and optional video camera are housed in a rugged enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal, or bolted directly to a wall, or flush mounted in a column. The diecast keypad keys have bright, easy-to-read graphics and are lit with an overhead light. The two operation buttons; CALL and HELP, are machined for heavy-duty reliability.
Arriving visitors will approach the unit and place a call to the residence by pressing the CALL button. The RE-2 will acquire the residence’s local telephone line and generate distinctive rings to the house telephones. The resident, knowing that the distinctive ring is originating from the access area, can answer any house telephone and converse with the visitor. If the resident decides to grant access to the visitor, they can activate either output relay in the RE-2 by pressing a key on the telephone’s keypad. If the resident decides not to grant access, hanging up or pressing a key will disconnect the visitor’s call.
If the resident is using the telephone at the time a visitor calls, the RE-2 will sound beeps on the telephone line to announce that a visitor is calling. The resident can press a key on the telephone to place the outside caller on hold and communicate with the visitor. After granting or denying access to the visitor, the outside caller will be re-connected to the resident.

Residential Telephone Entry
Residential telephone entry units in general offer the most convenience over other entry systems such as stand alone keypads and intercoms. These systems utilize the phones in your home to communicate with people at your gate and to control it. Most of these systems are feature laden. Some of the most used features are:
- Simply intercom and open gate by phone
- Open the gate from a built in keypad
- Double ring (European style) differentiates regular calls on your phone from people wanting to access your gate
- Calls to up to 3 phone numbers from gate. For instance it can call your cell phone and control the gate from anywhere in the world. It can also call a second unit on your property such as a granny unit and the gate can be opened from there
- Momentarily or hold open the gate from any phone in home, or from keypad at the gate
- Time controlled access codes. These access codes are only active certain days and times. This is great for limiting access to workers to only times you specify
- Time controlled gate open. Can hold open gate certain times of day and week
- Hold open the gate for 1 hour. A great way to let a guest enter when you are out of your home temporarily
- Optional built in CCTV camera to see who is at the gate before allowing entrance
Commercial Telephone Entry
Commercial telephone entry units are used primarily when larger numbers of people need to access gates or doors. These units need a dedicated phone line. Many commercial units track and record the user’s activity for enhanced security. These units are ubiquitous in apartment buildings and are used to access the front door from many apartments. Commercial and business parking lots use them frequently to control the parking lot and keep track of who has access.
The higher end of these systems integrates with a computer and can be connected to several gates or doors. Card readers are frequently attached to them. Access data is stored that can track the card holder. Users can be added or deleted at the telephone entry controller or remotely by computer.
