Linear EP-EXN EntryPro Expansion Node, 2-Door

2-Door Access Control Expansion Node for EP EntryPro Systems

The Linear EP-EXN is a networked access control expansion node for EP and EN series EntryPro telephone entry and access control systems. It adds two door control channels and four Wiegand reader inputs to an existing EP network, sharing one common database with the controller unit. The EP-EXN connects via Ethernet and comes preconfigured as a client. Only one EP unit in a multi-unit installation acts as the controller; all EP-EXN units operate as clients and do not require the License-To-Go procedure.

The EP-EXN includes a CPU board, I/O board, lockable metal cabinet with tamper switch, and a 2A plug-in power supply. The cabinet dimensions match the standard EP series footprint. For installations requiring more than two doors, adding the EP-ACM module (720-200105) expands the EP-EXN to four doors and eight readers. This unit is also referenced under part number 720-100104.

Conclusion

The EP-EXN is preconfigured as a client and does not function as a standalone system or network controller. A compatible EP or EN series controller unit is required. For installations needing more than two controlled doors per EP-EXN, the EP-ACM module (720-200105) must be added separately. Mount the unit at least 10 feet from any gate or gate operator per Linear's installation requirements.
