Overview The Schlage optional remote antenna module is an external antenna that provides a means of increasing the radio frequency (RF) range between a Panel Interface Module (PIM) and a Wireless Access Point Module (WAPM). WAPM’s include AD-400 locks, Wireless Reader Interfaces (WRI400), Wireless Status Monitors (WSM400) and Wireless Portable Readers (WPR400).

Terminate the coax at the PIM400 or WRI400 1. Drill a B\,” (16 mm) hole in the enclosure at the proper location, depending on the PIM400 model or WRI400 as shown below. To avoid damage to electronics inside the enclosure, remove electronics from the enclosure before drilling.
Mounting the antenna Mounting the ANT400-REM-CEILING 1. Using the antenna enclosure as a template, mark the mounting holes. 2. Fasten the antenna enclosure to the ceiling using screws, and wall anchors if necessary (not provided). Mounting the ANT400-REM-HALL 1. Using the antenna enclosure as a template, mark the mounting holes.
Connect the mounting bracket portion of the antenna bracket as shown. Secure with a washer, a helical spring lock washer, 5/16-18 x 1Z\v” hex cap screw and 5/16-18 hex nut. Leave screws slightly loose. 12 • Schlage • ANT400 user guide...
d. Wall Mount: Use the bracket as a template to mark the two mounting holes. Mount to the wall using screws, and wall anchors if necessary (not provided). Fully tighten the loose screws and nuts (steps b and c). Tighten all mounting bracket screws at a torque of 30 inch lbs.
Locate the antenna for best RF line-of-sight path with the PIM400 or WRI400. • Verify the antenna radiation pattern is properly aligned in the WAPM’s direction. • Verify the WAPM is in link mode. Find more troubleshooting information at www.schlage.com/support. 14 • Schlage • ANT400 user guide...
