About
The Linear AK-11 (Nice order number ACP00748) is a hard-wired exterior keypad built for entrances that see real traffic. Each code can trigger either of two relays or both: a driveway gate on one, a pedestrian door strike on the other.
The cast-aluminum housing is gasketed against weather, and codes live in EEPROM, so a power cut never erases them.
What's in the box
- AK-11 keypad with its mounting backplate and keylock (the keylock secures the keypad to the backplate)
What you'll still need
- 12–24 V AC or DC power: most installs use the gate operator's auxiliary or radio power terminals. An AC supply must be isolated from the device the keypad controls.
- Wire: 18 AWG for power and earth ground (up to 500 ft), 22 AWG or heavier for the other connections. A gate typically needs 4 conductors (2 power, 2 control).
- An earth-ground connection for static protection
- A mounting spot: a pedestal (4 security bolts and lock nuts) or a wall (wedge or molly anchors in concrete)
- For a door: a low-voltage electric strike or maglock and its power supply
Will it work with my opener?
The AK-11 isn't tied to a brand. Its Relay 1 common and normally-open contacts wire to any gate operator's OPEN (dry-contact) terminals, so it works with Linear Pro / GTO / Nice, LiftMaster, Mighty Mule and other operators that have such an input. It also drives low-voltage electric strikes, maglocks and solenoid locks, and its two solid-state outputs (100 mA) can signal an alarm panel or a light.
- No radio and no Wiegand interface: it's a stand-alone wired keypad.
Two relays, four outputs
Relay 1
Form C, 5 A: the main gate or door.
Relay 2
Form C, 1 A: a second gate, door or light.
Outputs 3 and 4
Open collector, 100 mA: forced entry, door ajar, lockout, alarm shunt, request-to-enter or keypad active.
Each relay runs 0–60 s (default 2 s) or toggles on and off.
Security and programming
- Codes of 1–6 digits (one length for all; set it before adding codes)
- Programming at the keypad with a 6-digit master code (default 123456, change it first)
- Lockout for 60 s after 2–7 wrong codes (default 3), shown by a yellow LED
- Timed anti-passback (1–4 min) and door-sense or inhibit input
- Courtesy light: off, always on, or for 1–4 minutes after a key press; a beeper confirms each key

Frequently asked questions
Is the ACP00748 the same as the Linear AK-11?
Yes. ACP00748 is Nice/Linear's order number for the AK-11 Exterior Digital Keypad.
Will it work with my gate opener?
Almost certainly, if the opener has a dry-contact OPEN input. Relay 1's common and normally-open contacts wire to those terminals, and the keypad can run on the operator's 12–24 V auxiliary power. It isn't limited to one brand.
Can it open a door strike or maglock too?
Yes. The manual shows low-voltage electric strike wiring, and Linear lists magnetic and solenoid locks as typical uses. With two relays, one keypad can run a gate and a door, and each code can be set to open either one or both.
How many codes does it hold, and how long are they?
Up to 480 codes of 1 to 6 digits. All codes share one length setting (default 4), which you should set before programming any codes.
How is it powered?
12–24 V AC or DC, drawing 10 mA typically and 150 mA at most, from the gate operator or a separate supply. An AC supply must be isolated from the device the keypad controls. It has no batteries.
Are codes lost in a power outage?
No. EEPROM memory keeps every code and setting without power.
Is it wireless?
No. The AK-11 is wired only and has no radio. Linear's AKR-1 is the version with a built-in 318 MHz radio; the F310 is a lower-cost keypad that can run wireless with Linear Pro / GTO openers.
Does it have a Wiegand output for an access-control panel?
No. Linear's documentation lists no Wiegand interface. It's a stand-alone keypad with two relays and two solid-state outputs.
What happens after wrong codes?
After 2 to 7 wrong codes (you choose; default 3) it locks out for 60 seconds and the yellow LED lights. Timed anti-passback (1–4 minutes) is also available.
Is it lit at night?
Yes. The courtesy light can be off, always on, or on for 1–4 minutes after a key press (default 2). It uses an incandescent bulb.
How do I program it?
Everything is programmed at the keypad. Enter programming with # 9 # and the 6-digit master code (default 123456). The full sequences are in the manual under Documents.
Can it be mounted outdoors, and how?
Yes. The cast-aluminum housing has a neoprene gasket and is rated −22°F to 149°F at 5–95% humidity. It mounts on a standard pedestal with 4 security bolts and lock nuts, or on a wall. A keylock secures the keypad to its backplate.
What's the warranty?
Nice lists a 12-month warranty for this keypad.
