WORLD FENCE NEWS • JANUARY 2012 • 35 Encon's fourth consecutive training session focuses on Linear access control products On November 17, gate, door and access control distributor Encon Elec- tronics held its fourth consecutive seminar at its training facility in Hay- ward, Calif.

Jones presented to over 30 Encon dealers and began with an overview of Linear's radio products, including the Megacode AP-5 receiver and the MDKP wireless keypad. "The MDKP is a wireless keypad that allows you to program and store codes. When replacing the 9V battery, you won't need to reprogram the key- pad because of its storage feature. The AP-5 goes one step further because it gives you the capability to suspend codes," he said. After briefly explaining block- coded versus custom block-coded transmitters, Jones introduced one of their new products – Transprox. "Transprox is both a transmitter and a proximity card. The transmitter is block-coded with a matching coil for the card reader," he said. shared phone line and described the unique features of Linear's residential and commercial telephone entry prod- ucts.
