FAQs: Application
The distance between the PIM and WAPM exceeds the specification but everything is working, can I use it this way?
Determining RF coverage is a very subjective thing. If you do decide to exceed the RF coverage
specification, you do so at your own risk. The risk is that the PIM and WAPM may not be able to communicate at all times.

When should I use a PIME or PIME-OTD?
The PIM-OTD controls 2 access points. To increase the number of controlled access points to 4, install a PIME-OTD in PIM-OTD enclosure. Therefore PIME-OTD should be used when the PIM-OTD's mounting location is ideal for controlling 3 or 4 access points.

Do I need to use shielded cable from the PIM the ACP?
For best performance, Schlage Wireless Access recommends that shielded cable be used
for all wired connections between the PIM
and ACP. Refer to the ACP
installation manual for proper shield termination instructions.

How far can the PIM be located from the ACP?
In general, the PIM can be located up to 500 cable feet away from the ACP using 8 conductor, 22 AWG, shielded cable. The cabling
recommendations and installation instructions for the ACP must be followed. This includes proper shield termination of the shielded cable
at the ACP.

How do I determine the best PIM location?
The PIM's location is a tradeoff between the PIM's distance from the ACP and the PIM's distance from the WAPMs it will control. The PIM's distance from the ACP must be within 500 cable feet. The PIM's distance from the WAPM varies with each WAPM, refer to the WAPM's installation manual for RF range information.
In addition, if the PIM-OTD's internal antenna is used, then PIM's mounting orientation and height are important. The PIM should be installed so that it has the best ""line of sight"" path between it and the WAPMs it controls
and the PIM's
antenna mounting block must be pointing up. Inside a building the PIM should be located in the center of the cluster of WAPMs it will control and within 200' of each WAPM.

What WAPM should I use?
MIRL - Use at every door access point where wiring at the door must be kept to a
minimum, where battery power is acceptable, and where the door's cylindrical or mortise lockset can be changed.
WRI-ORD-12VDC - Use at an
outdoor access point where is is desirable to use third party access control peripherals (reader, strike, door position switch, request to exit device) and there is 12 VDC power at the access point. The WRI-OUT-12VDC provides 2 reader interfaces (parallel not independent) and 2 output relays.
WRI-IN-12VDC - Use at an
indoor access point where is is desirable to use third party access control peripherals (reader, strike, door position switch, request to exit device) and there is 12 VDC power at the access point. The WRI-IN-12VDC provides
one reader interface and one output relay.
WPR - Use where a portable/mobile, battery operated access point is required, such as a temporary muster station, a temporary enrollment reader, a guard tour.
