Installation Steps
8. NOTE: MAKE ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER. (Refer to the Connection Schematics)
A 12VAC adapter is included to power the PhoneLink gate unit. Use 12 AWG stranded wire between the 12VAC
adapter and the POWER terminal block on the PhoneLink gate unit.
9. For a solar power installation, connect 18 AWG stranded wire between the battery and the POWER terminal block
on the PhoneLink gate unit.
10. For gate activation, connect the gate control wires to Relay A, common and normally open. Use stranded wire of
the gauge recommended by the gate operator manufacturer.
11. Wire secondary equipment (such as a pedestrian gate) to Relay B.
Wiring the Station
12. The PhoneLink is designed to go inline with the incoming phone line (See page 9). At the Telephone Company
(Telco) box on the side of the building, disconnect the connections between the phone company and the house.
13. Run 4 conductor 22 AWG twisted shielded wires between the Telco box and the PhoneLink unit. Connect two
wires between the Telco box phone company tip and ring, to the “FROM CO” terminal block on the PhoneLink unit.
14. Connect the other two wires at the Telco box to the terminals going into the house phones, and the other end of
the two wires to the “TO PHONES” terminal block on the PhoneLink unit. Note: On the PhoneLink unit circuit board is a
manual bypass switch that can be used to disconnect the PhoneLink unit from the telephone line.
15. The PhoneLink can also be installed to a PBX or Key phone system. Connect two wires from an UNUSED CO (line)
port of the PBX system to the “To Phones” terminal block on the PhoneLink circuit board. Then move jumper from
Normal to PBX then press and release the SETUP button on the circuit board (refer to Page 11.)

General Operating Instructions
Receiving Calls – Allowing Access
The PhoneLink system is easy to use. It works much the same as a two-way radio or a cellular telephone with an
intercom feature.
17. A visitor arrives at the gate Transmitter and presses the “Call” button
18. A distinct ring tone (different from the regular telephone company ring tone) is heard at the telephone inside of
the home or building.
19. Person inside of the building lifts the telephone handset and speaks. The telephone line voice will be heard
through the speaker at the gate
20. The person inside of the home or building answers and either grants access (presses ** on the telephone keypad)
or continues with the conversation before granting access to the premises.
Call Waiting
21. If the telephone is already in use when the call button at the gate is pressed, a ring tone (similar to the regular tele-
phone “call waiting tone”) is heard, indicating the gate station is calling.
22. To place the central ofce telephone line on hold press, the “#” key within 15 seconds of the rst call waiting ring
tone. The control station will respond with a short tone burst and establish intercom mode between the telephone
and the control station.
23. The “#” key is also used to switch back and forth between the regular telephone line and gate intercom mode.
However, the gate control station will only stay on hold for 15 seconds before it resets to idle mode.
24. If the regular telephone tries to ring the while in the gate access intercom mode, the same call waiting tone is
heard. To switch to the incoming call press the “#” key to answer the telephone. Press the “#” key again, to return to
the gate intercom mode
Calling the Gate
25. The indoor telephone handset can call the gate control unit to establish data mode allowing the user to program
a number of features or to communicate with the gate. While in the data mode, voice communication is not possible
except if in the intercom mode.
26. Simply lift the and press “# 9” within 15 seconds. The gate unit will respond with three GOOD TONES and establish
contact with the gate. If call waiting occurs while in the data mode, the data mode connection will be cancelled.
Once the user has answered the incoming call, the user must hang up the and call the gate again [“# 9”] to re-es-
tablish the data mode. The “#” key cannot be used to get back to data mode in the same fashion that is used to
switch between call waiting and “talking” to the gate.
Intercom (Audio) Mode
• •.Once the data mode communication is established, the phone is connected to the unit in data mode only. It
is now possible to send Commands to control the gate from the telephone handset. Again, audio is not present. To
establish audio (intercom mode) between the phone and gate unit press “ * 3.
• •.Otherwise, to activate relay A press “*1” or “**”. To activate relay B press “*2”. A single beep is heard after the
relay has been activated. To toggle the latch mode press the star key followed by the pound key (“*#”).
• •.The control station will respond to the toggle-latch-mode command with a single beep if the gate is latched, and
a double beep if the gate is unlatched.
• •.To toggle call forward press “*4”. The control station will respond with one single tone if enabled and two single
tones if disabled.
• •.To toggle the sleep mode press “*9”. The control station will respond to the toggle-sleep-mode command with a
single tone if the unit is put into sleep mode, and a double tone if the unit is not in sleep mode.
• •.Since sleep mode and latch mode are mutually exclusive, trying to activate either mode while the other is active
will cause an ERROR TONE.
• •.To toggle the one-shot enable feature press “*5”. The control station will respond to the toggle-one-shot-enable
command with a single beep if the one-shot code is enabled, and a double beep if the one-shot code is disabled.
Hanging up the phone terminates intercom mode. Intercom mode is also terminated after ve minutes of inactivity
(i.e. ve minutes after the last gate command, or ve minutes after it is started if no gate commands are entered.)
• • Notes:
a. Intercom mode and use of the keypad are mutually exclusive: if you are in the middle of entering a four-digit code
on the keypad (i.e. after the rst numeric key is pressed, and until the operation nishes), the call button will not work
and the cannot call the gate.
a. If the call button has been pressed, or the has called the gate, the keypad will not work until the system is back in
idle mode.
a. The remote open mode for the event input will work while the unit is in all modes except program mode.
Indoor Command Code(s) Reference
Press #9 then enter any of the following:
• • * - Toggle A Relay
• • *# - Latch A Relay
• • *1 - Toggle A Relay (again)
• • *2 - Toggle B Relay
• • *3 - Activate the intercom
• • *4 – Toggle Call Forward (enable / disable)
• • *5 - Toggle One Shot (enable / disable)
• • *9 - Toggle Sleep (enable / disable)

Access and Function Codes
The PhoneLink can be programmed with up to 500 (4-digit) ACCESS codes. However, there are two different types of
codes, Access Codes and Function Codes. Although the number of Access Codes may vary, the number of Function
Codes is always 4.
FUNCTION CODES
“MASTER CODE”
The MASTER CODE is a programmable four-digit code used for gaining access
to the program mode. It does not activate the control relays. The factory default
MASTER code is 1 2 5 1. It is suggested that you change the default 1 2 5 1 to one
of your choice. It is the “password” to the unit. Keep the new MASTER code in a
safe place.
“LATCH CODE”
The LATCH CODE is a programmable four-digit code used to toggle relay A. This
code will be used to hold open a device connected to Relay A such as a gate
or door.
“SLEEP CODE”
The SLEEP CODE is a programmable four-digit code which when entered, will
disable all codes. When the “SLEEP CODE” is entered again the unit will be
enabled. An override code is provided.
“ONE SHOT CODE” The ONE SHOT CODE is a programmable four-digit code that disables itself after
one use. The user can enable this code for reuse using the keypad or telephone.
Good Tones and Error Tones
The PhoneLink unit will sound a tone each time a key is pressed. The “ * “ key serves as the clear key and a double
tone will be heard any time the “ * “ key is pressed.
A “GOOD TONE” is an oscillating high tone. An “ERROR TONE” is a single low tone. Both are very distinguishable.
The Red and Yellow LED’S
•.Two colored LED’s are in the face of the unit. The red LED illuminates during the duration of the relay(s)
activation period. The yellow LED illuminates while the unit is in the program mode.
• During memory erasure or setup the LED’s will ash.
Resetting the Unit
Your unit provides two very distinct types of resets, a Master Reset, and a Unit Reset. It is important to understand when
to use each.
• A MASTER Reset should be done in the event that you lose or forget your MASTER code or, if the unit is in the
Latch or Sleep mode and the Latch or Sleep code is lost or forgotten. When a Unit Reset is performed, the
MASTER code is reset to the factory default -- 1 2 5 1. This reset will not affect codes and other unit
programming. It simply resets the MASTER code to 1 2 5 1.
• A Unit Reset is provided should it ever become necessary to completely reset the PhoneLink back to the initial
factory defaults. Be careful … Unit RESET will DELETE ALL ACCESS & FUNCTION CODES and the MASTER code
will be set back to 1 2 5 1. All coding and programming is also lost when a Unit Reset is completed.
Master Reset
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an error, the unit will ERROR and you will have to
start over.
• Open the faceplate of the unit to access the circuit board.
• Press and hold down RESET button on the circuit board. Press and release SETUP button. Unit will beep
continually.
• Release RESET button.
• Press *** on keypad.
• Press and release SETUP button.
• The unit will issue a 3 GOOD TONES and the MASTER code will be reset to 1 2 5 1.
• If you previously were in the sleep or latch mode, the unit will return to the idle state.
Unit Reset
(!!!!! WARNING: ALL CODES WILL BE DELETED FROM MEMORY !!!!!)
Follow these steps precisely. If you make an error, the unit will ERROR and you must start over.
• Press and hold down the RESET button on the circuit board. At the same time, press and then release the SETUP
button. Unit will begin to beep repeatedly.

Page 11 American Access Systems / Security Brands, Inc.
• Release SETUP button and enter “# * #”. The unit will sound a GOOD TONE.
• Enter 1 2 5 1 on the keypad. The unit will ash the LED’s several times and then again will begin to beep
repeatedly.
• Press and release SETUP button
• The PhoneLink is now completely reset to factory defaults.
Idle Mode
The Idle mode is the normal operating mode. When in the idle mode the unit is ready to accept data from the
keypad. You will have approximately 4 seconds between key presses. If time is exceeded, you will receive an ERROR
TONE.
The Program Mode
The Program Mode is the mode of operation you use to enter, delete, or change access codes or set specic features
of the unit.
• The Program Mode is accessed by entering the “MASTER CODE” from the keypad. You will receive a GOOD
TONE and the yellow LED will light, indicating that you are in the Program Mode. You then will have
approximately 30 seconds between key presses. If this time is exceeded, you will receive an ERROR and be
exited from the program mode.
The * and # Keys
The * and # keys serve specic functions while in the Idle or Program mode. The “*” key is always the clear key and
a double beep will be heard any time the “*” is pressed. You should use this key if you make an entry error. The # key
also serves as the clear key in the idle mode. In the program mode however, the # key serves as the exit key.
Programming the Gate
To access the program mode, enter the MASTER CODE. If the MASTER code is valid, the yellow LED will come on and
the individual will be prompted with a GOOD TONE to enter a number corresponding to a SUB-MODE. Remember:
MASTER Code will not activate control relay. (MASTER CODE) + (Number corresponding to Sub-Mode).
Once in the program mode, the individual will have 30 seconds between key presses or the
unit will ERROR and exit the program mode. A person desiring to exit the program mode may
do so by simply pressing the # key at any time. There are 10 different SUB-MODES to choose
from. They are as follows:
SUB-MODE Description
1 Program Access Codes (Relay A)
2 Delete Codes
3 Change MASTER Code
4 Set Sleep Code Latch Code and/or Call Forwarding
5 Set One Shot Code
6 Set Relay Output Time
7 Program Access Codes (Relay B)
8 Enable / Disable “3 Strikes-You’re Out”
9 Program Event Input
0 Erase Memory
Sub-Mode 1 (Program Relay A Access Codes)
• To program new Relay A access codes enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 1 + (NEW CODE) + (NEXT NEW CODE) etc, then ( # ) to exit program mode
Select any 4-digit code you wish. If you receive an ERROR TONE after entry, the new code is already being used.
Select another 4-digit code. The unit will respond with a GOOD TONE with the acceptance of each new Relay
A code. You may continue entering Relay A codes until you nish (Press #), or the memory becomes full. You will
automatically be exited from the program mode if the memory reaches capacity. When memory is full, you will not
be able to enter this Sub-Mode and will receive an ERROR if entry is attempted.
Sub-Mode 2 (Delete Codes)
• To delete codes enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 2 + (CODE TO BE DELETED)
You can delete any Access or Function code that you wish with the exception of the MASTER CODE. If the code you
wish to delete is not found in memory, the unit will respond with an ERROR and wait for another code to be entered.
A GOOD TONE will be sounded once the code has been found and deleted. You may continue deleting codes until
you nish (Press #).

Page 12 American Access Systems / Security Brands, Inc.
Sub-Mode 3 (Change MASTER Code)
• To change your MASTER code, enter the following;
(Current MASTER CODE) + 3 + (new MASTER CODE)
Select any 4 digit MASTER code you wish. If you receive an ERROR TONE, it means the code you have entered
is already in use. Select another code. The unit will respond with a GOOD TONE when the new MASTER Code is
accepted, and you will be exited from the program mode. MAKE SURE TO WRITE THE NEW MASTER CODE DOWN.
Sub-Mode 4 (Set Sleep Code & Latch Code and/or Call Forwarding)
EXPLANATION: The sleep code used to disable all Relay A and function codes from the keypad. It also turns shuts
off the CALL button on the intercom. This feature is most commonly used in applications where no entry is desired
after hours. Relay B codes will still be valid from the keypad. By connecting both relays in parallel, managers
may be assigned Relay B codes and still gain access. While in the SLEEP MODE, the yellow and red LED’s will ash
approximately once every 3 seconds. To initialize the system back to normal, simply reenter the sleep code. Should
you lose or forget your Sleep code and the unit is in the Sleep mode see the Unit Reset instructions on page 16.
NOTE: You can also toggle the sleep code with the telephone. (See intercom operating
instructions.)
• To program or change your sleep code enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 1 + SLEEP CODE
You can select any 4-digit sleep code you wish. If you receive an ERROR, you must select another code as it is already
in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD TONE with the acceptance of the new Sleep Code and you will be exited
from the program mode.
Set Latch Code
The Latch Code toggles the state of the main relay (A) of the circuit board. The red LED will light if the relay is in the
latched position. The latch code is useful in applications when the gate is desired to hold open. If the operator’s close
circuit is controlled by loops, timers, etc., they will be overridden by the latched state of the relay and the gate will
hold open. An “OPEN-OVERRIDE” circuit must exist in the operator equipment in order to utilize this function. If your
gate cycles when this code is entered, your operator is not set up to utilize this function. Your local dealer or distributor
should be able to assist you if you have any specic questions.
• To program or change your latch code enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 2 + LATCH CODE
You may select any 4-digit latch code you wish. If you receive an ERROR, you must select another code as it is
already in use. The unit will respond with a GOOD TONE with the acceptance of the new Latch Code and you will be
exited from the program mode. When the latch code is entered the RED Led will light and the gate will hold open.
When the latch code is entered again, the RED Led will go off and the gate will close. NOTE: On gates with a timer to
close the “TIMED DURATION” starts when the latch code is released.
Call Forwarding
Call Forwarding is located under Sub Mode 4 with Sleep and Latch modes as follows:
Sub Mode 4 (Call Forwarding)
• To program or change the phone number dialed, enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 2 + (Phone Number – 7, 10, or 11 digits)
• To disable Call Forwarding:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 0
• To enable Call Forwarding enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 4 + 3 (*status) + 1
*status: Single beep = enabled
Double beep = disabled
Notes:
• Pressing * will clear the phone number digits entered
• Pressing # will “enter” the phone number. A GOOD TONE will sound if 7, 10, or 11 digits have been entered
when # is pressed. If not, an ERROR TONE will sound and call forwarding will bedisabled if it was enabled.
• Digits can be entered until # is pressed. Any digits over 11 will be discarded and a bad beep will sound when #
is pressed
• Call forwarding can only be enabled when a valid phone number has been entered.

Sub-Mode 5 (Set One Shot Code)
EXPLANATION: This Mode is used to program a One-Shot Code, and to enable it or disable it.
After the 5 is pressed the enable/disable status is heard (one beep = enabled, two beeps = disabled) followed by a
GOOD TONE.
• To disable the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 0
• To enable the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 1
• To change the one-shot code enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 2 + (ONE-SHOT CODE)
• To change the relay the one-shot code activates enter:
(MASTER CODE) + 5 (*status) + 3 + (RELAY #)
• The Relay number corresponds to which relay to set. 1 = Relay A, 2 = Relay B.
Sub-Mode 6 (Set Relay Output Times)
To set or change relay output times enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 6 + (RELAY #) + (RELAY OUTPUT TIME) in seconds
• The Relay # corresponds to which relay to set. 1 = Relay A, 2 = Relay B. Your output time is set on both relays
from the factory at approximately 1/2 seconds “00”. If a longer output time is desired, enter a two-digit
number corresponding to the number of seconds between “00” and “99”. By entering “00” the output time is
set to approximately 1/2 seconds, which is ideal for most operators.
Sub-Mode 7 (Program Relay B Access Codes)
To program new Relay B access codes enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 7 + (NEW CODE) + (NEXT NEW CODE) etc ( # to exit)
•You may select any 4-digit code you wish. If you receive an ERROR TONE after entering a code, it indicates that
code is already in use. Select another code. The unit will respond with a GOOD TONE as the unit accepts
each new Relay B code. Continue entering Relay B codes until you nish(Press #), or the memory becomes
full.
• You will automatically be exited from the program mode if the memory reaches capacity. When memory is
full, you will not be able to enter this Sub-Mode and will receive an ERROR TONE if entry is attempted.
Sub-Mode 8 (Enable/Disable 3 Strikes-You’re Out)
EXPLANATION: This feature is desirable to keep unwanted persons from successively entering codes until they “hit” a
programmed access code. By selecting this function, you enable a 90-seond lock out period if 3 incorrect codes are
entered successively within a 3-minute period. When this occurs, the LED’s will ash and a high-pitched alarm will be
generated from the unit for 30 seconds. The unit will then shutdown for 1 minute.
• To toggle the 3 strikes-you’re out feature enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 8 (*current state) + (MASTER CODE)
• Current state single beep = 3 strikes enabled -- double beep = 3 strikes disabled
After you have selected mode 8, the unit will respond with a single or double tone. A single tone indicates that the
3 Strikes-You’re Out feature is enabled. A double beep indicates that the 3 Strikes-You’re Out feature is disabled. The
unit will then issue a GOOD TONE and waitfor the MASTER code. If you wish to toggle the 3 Strikes You’re Out state,
enter the MASTERcode. If you do not wish to toggle the state, enter # to exit.
Sub-Mode 9 (Program Event Input)
The Event Input allows the user to tie in an external device to control specic functions of the unit. The Event Input can
be programmed 5 different ways.
• REMOTE INACTIVE: Relay A codes may be made inactive by an external switch. When inactive all relay A
codes will be disabled. The relay B, program, and function codes will still be accessible to the end user.
• ARMING CIRCUIT: This is normally used to allow access in parking situations. An external vehicle detector
maybe connected to the input. Relay A codes would only become active on the preence detect of a
vehicle. If an entry attempt to activate relay A is made while the inputis not activated, entry will be denied.
The relay B, program, and function codes will still beaccessible to the end user.
• REMOTE OPEN: A relay may be activated using a pushbutton or switch. The relay to activate is user selectable.
This function operates even when the unit is in sleep, latch, or program mode.
• NIGHT LIGHT: This will turn on the unit night light for 60 seconds using a relay connected to a loop detector,
electric eye, motion sensor, etc. You must move the Lights jumper from On to Event to
use this output. See circuit board layout on page 11 for location.
• DISABLE: Disables the Event Input.
a. To program the Event Input as Remote Inactive enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 1
a. To program the Event Input as an Arming Circuit enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 2

Page 14 American Access Systems / Security Brands, Inc.
a. To program the Event Input as Remote Open enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 3 + (*Relay to Activate)
a. To PROGRAM the Event Input as NIGHT LIGHT enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 4
a. To DISABLE the Event Input enter the following;
(MASTER CODE) + 9 (*current mode) + 0
*Current Mode *Relay to Activate Single beep = Remote Inactive Mode Enabled. 1 = Relay A
Double beep = Arming Circuit Mode Enabled. 2 = Relay B
Triple beep = Remote Open Mode Enabled
GOOD TONE Only = Event Input Disabled
After you have selected Sub-Mode 9, the unit will respond with tones as described above. This
tells you the current mode the event input is programmed as (See *Current Mode above). If you do not wish to toggle
the state, enter # to exit. If you are programming the event input as a
Remote Open input, you will be prompted for which relay to activate on an event. Enter the
correct relay as stated above (* + Relay to activate).
Sub-Mode 0 (Erase all codes)
• To erase all access & function codes, (except the MASTER code), enter the following:
(MASTER CODE) + 0 + (MASTER CODE)
• When the sequence is entered correctly, the LED’s will ash several times and the unit will generate a GOOD
TONE when the memory has been cleared. If the above sequence is not validated by the unit, you will
receive
an ERROR TONE and immediately be exited from the program mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It should not generally be necessary to erase all the codes from memory unless
the codes are lost/forgotten and are occupying needed memory. A good code log and mainte-
nance of access codes should prevent erasure of all codes from ever needing to be done.
Troubleshooting
Pressing call button at the gate results in 3
rings and then ERROR TONE
Units are communicating but no phone line is
present. Make sure the Telco phone line is correctly
connected, and that bypass switch is in normal. If it
is supposed to be in PBX make sure it is.
Voice connection is noisy Check all connections to make sure they are tight. If on
solar power, try turning off the charger to see if signal is
clearer.
Microphone and/or speaker volume too low. Adjust the MIC and /or SPEAKER pots on circuit board to
desired levels. A maximum of 5 turns clockwise is allowed.
If These Do Not Work, There Are No Other Adjustments. Return the unit or contact Technical Support
