Determine the location
The PIM400-485 communicates with WAPMs using radio frequency (RF) signals. RF signals
are diminished by walls, distance, metal objects or barriers. Consider the following when
placing the PIM400-485:
•
Mount the PIM400-485 within 200 horizontal feet (61 meters) of each WAPM with typical
building construction. When clear line-of-sight is available, communication may be
possible up to 1000 feet (305 meters).
•
Do not mount the WAPM(s) and the PIM400-485 on different floors. The signal may be
degraded and functionality could be severely limited.
•
Do not mount the PIM400-485 on a metal surface. A separation of at least one inch
must be maintained in all directions from any metal .
•
Signal will not pass through metal walls or metal mesh in the walls (stucco). Use a
remote antenna module located outside the room when necessary.
•
Moving vehicles will interrupt the signal. Placement distance should be reduced by half
when vehicles may temporarily block the signal.
•
Mount the PIM400-485 or the remote antenna so that the antenna is vertical for
optimal communication.
Locations and wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 for U.S. and Canadian Electrical Code for Canada.

PIM400-485 (Version 1)
The PIM400-485 connects up to 16 WAPMs to an Access Control
Panel using the RS485 connection.
The PIM400-485 power input is non-polarized. If power is lost
or cycled, upon restoring power, the PIM400-485 will continue
operation with the same configuration and linking information.
There is no need to re-configure or re-link.
