Security Brands 37-LE1 Ascent Link Wireless Extender

Wireless Mesh Range Extender for Ascent Access Control Networks

The Security Brands 37-LE1 Ascent Link Extend is a wireless mesh range extender for compatible Ascent Link access control systems. It is used to expand the Ascent Link 900 MHz wireless mesh network when a keypad, reader, controller, or other Ascent Link device needs to be placed farther from the primary Ascent cellular unit.

The 37-LE1 adds up to 1,000 feet of wireless mesh range under typical conditions. It does not directly control a gate or door and does not include a keypad, reader, relay, Wiegand input, or digital inputs. Its purpose is to improve network reach between compatible Ascent Link devices and the required Ascent primary controller.

Once powered and paired, the 37-LE1 becomes part of the Ascent Link mesh network. Network status LEDs provide visual feedback during setup and operation, showing whether the unit is connected to the primary unit, connected to another Link unit only, or isolated from the network.

The 37-LE1 requires a compatible Ascent primary controller and a 12 to 24 VAC/DC power supply. It is commonly used when the site layout, distance, or structure placement makes a direct wireless connection difficult between Ascent Link access devices.
