Entry Systems Solutions

Getting residents, employees, and visitors in and out with ease, security, and safety requires the right hardware, the right sofware, and the right accessories, all from the right Manufacturer. For over 49 years, Linear has been that Manufacturer. Our products have evolved and expanded, so that today they encompass five fully realized, full-featured lines under the Linear Entry Solutions brand.

GARAGE DOOR OPERATORS

Sometimes less is a lot more. That's the case with the expanded line of Linear garage door operators. Thanks to some unique design ingenuity, in which we use many of the same parts model to model, dealers can now stock reduced inventory, yet offer a wider range of models. Chain or belt drive, 1/2 or 1/3 horsepower. You can mix and match the operators that move the best in your market.

With interchangeable head units, rails, and horsepower versions, any way you configure a Linear system adds up to more value for your customers. And more profits for you.

1-2-3 Installations: Linear's extraordinary attention to design details will enable you to zip right through each job.

• Fast and easy rail connection
• Non-polarity beam and wall station wiring
• All sensitivity, limit adjustments, and transmitters learned on the same side of the head
• Wall station can mount to a single-gang electrical box or directly to the wall
• Beam bracket mounts to track or wall
• Dual beam brackets adjustable for any door
• Built-in diagnostics
• Tear strip on rail boxes
• Snap-in obstacle-sensing beams

• Drive shafts aligned with brass bushing
• Built-in self diagnostics
• Built-in isolator on hanging brackets (LSO only)

Tested: We test all our operators, not just as individual components, but as complete systems.

• 13-point function test - head to chain or belt, obstacle sensors to radio
• Results posted inside the operator case

Backed: We stand behind our operators by offering the industry's most generous warranties. And the industry's best customer support.

RADIO CONTROLS

From garage door openers to gate operators, from loading dock doors to access control systems, from everyday entry to high security, Linear makes radio controls to cover the industry's diverse range of applications. Single and multi-channel transmitters and receivers can be mixed and matched within product families to address just about any user need. Our popular Delta 3 line offers 256 codes and a 310 MHz frequency, which is ideal for most sites. Our MegaCode line offers a 318 MHz frequency and adds the security of over 1,000,000 codes, each sequentially preset by the factory to all but eliminate any possibility of duplication. And our Multi-Code and Stanley compatible radio controls each offer 1,024 codes and either 300 or 310 MHz frequency. These four radio control lines are further supplemented by a series of high performance controllers for configuring access control systems of nearly any size and entry method. If it's radio controls you need, you've come to the right source.

GATE OPERATORS

The most respected name in gate operators has joined the fastest growing name in access control, garage door operators, and radio controls. OSCO became an integral part of Linear Entry Systems. OSCO, or Operator Specialty Company, Inc., has been making all types of gate operators for over three decades. The name is synonymous with superbly engineered, well-constructed swing, slide, and barrier gate models, fully supported by a sales/service group committed to customer satisfaction. Now, OSCO is even better positioned to build upon that success - as a vital addition to the expanding product family of Linear Entry Systems. For a quarter century, our organizations have been working closely together. Now that we're one and the same organization, expect gate system selection, quality, availability, and service further elevated by this unique synergy.

Every Linear/OSCO Operator is distinguished by:

• Readily accessible emergency disconnect
• Electrical power disconnect
• Built-in master/slave capability
• Dip switch right-hand/left-hand convertibility
• Heavy-duty gear reducers standard (except HSLG)
• ETL listed - UL325 compliant
• Solid-state 24 VDC control circuitry
• Designed to accept a complete line of accessories
• Exterior reset button
• Three-button station included
• Single-phase motors - heavy-duty, permanent split capacitor (PSC)
• Three-phase motor option on large gate models
• Choice of cover colors on SL and SW Series operators
• Durable power-coat finish on heavy-duty commercial/industrial enclosures
• Made in America - Certificate of Origin (.pdf)

ACCESS CONTROL PRODUCTS

The ideal access control system balances the competing demands for security and convenience. It fulfills a wide range of functional requirement with minimum system complexity. It integrates high performance, reliability, and flexibility in equal measure. It is technically advanced yet functionally simple. It is backed by the design, engineering, and production resources of an acknowledged security and control technology leader. All of which accurately defines every access control solution that Linear delivers.

Traditional access control with the added dimension of radio: Our product line represents a completely modular approach. Your entry options are virtually unlimited. Telephone entry systems, keypads, and proximity devices can be integrated into a single network or furnished as individual sub-systems. Then, there's our specialty, radio technology, which can form the basis of an entire system or can be used to equip an existing site with remote keyless entry and panic button functions.

Systems from one to 32 entry points: Whether you need access control for a small office building, a multi-gated residential community, or a sprawling university campus, we have a system that can be precisely tailored by capacity and capability.

Locally programmable or computer-linked systems: We can provide a stand-alone system with its own software or access control that ties into other computer controlled systems. RS232 outputs allow Linear systems to be linked by computer for event/transaction logging or to other access control systems for remote radio capability.

Remote devices and add-on features: Knox boxes, postal keys, request-to-exit devices, and many other devices can all be planned into the initial system or installed on a retrofit basis. You'll find all the access control products you need from Linear.
