1. INTRODUCTION

The Model AM-KPI keypad is designed for use with Linear’s AM/II 
access control system. The keypad is housed in a rugged, plastic 
enclosure and is designed to be mounted indoors in a standard single-
gang electrical box. Tamper resistant screws secure the keypad to its 
mounting plate. The die-cast keys have bright, easy-to-read yellow 
graphics.

The keypad is supplied with a satin-chrome plastic bezel installed. 
Three interchangeable colored plastic bezels (white, ivory, & bronze) 
are included with the unit to customize the keypad appearance for the 
installation.

All system indicators and lights are long-lasting, solid-state LEDs. Two 
indicators show the status of the entry system. The left indicator lights 
red to indicate power, then turns green when access is granted. The 
right indicator lights yellow when the keypad is in “lockout” condition 
(from too many incorrect code entries). A white LED downlight lights 
the keypad for nighttime use. An internal sounder beeps when each 
key is pressed.

The AM-KPI is normally powered from the AM/II controller. Alternately, 
the keypad can be powered locally with a 12 VDC power supply. 
Robust static and lightning protection circuits safeguard the keypad’s 
electronics.

A rotary switch selects the keypad’s device address. Each device 
connected to the AM/II must be set to a different device address.
