1. Wyreless Access™ System (WAS)
1.1Overview
Every access control system that uses Wyreless AccessTM contains two different types of modules (Figure
1-1):
• at least one Wyreless Panel Interface Module (WPIM), and
• at least one Wyreless Access Point Module (WAPM)
Figure 1-1 – Wyreless Access System Block Diagram
The WPIM is wired to the access control panel and ideally is installed very close to the access control
panel. The WPIMs installation location is determined by the location of the WAPMs with which it will
communicate using RF.
The WAPM is installed at the access point where access will be controlled and/or monitored. Depending
on the application and which WAPM is used, some wiring at the access control point may be required.
Regardless of which WPIM or WAPM module is used, the communication link between the WPIM and
WAPM is always RF.
This manual describes the installation and operation of a Panel Interface Module-RS485-NexSentry
(PIM-485-16-TD-NXT), a WPIM.
The Panel Interface Module-RS485-NexSentry (PIM-485-16-TD-NXT) is a product in Schlage’s
Wyreless Panel Interface Module (WPIM) category. The PIM-485-16-TD-NXT is the wireless interface
to a NexSentry Star I or Star II Access Control Unit (Figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2 – PIM-485-16-TD-NXT Block Di a gra m
Up to 16 (8 for a Star I) PIM-485-16-TD-NXT can be connected via a 2 wire polled, RS-485 interface to
a Star I/II.
Each PIM-485-16-TD-NXT can emulate up to 16 DR42xx DigiReaders, therefore a PIM-485-xx-NEX
can control from 1 to 16 WAPM’s (1 to 8 for a Star I).
The Schlage Configuration & Demonstration Tool (CDT) is used to determine what RS-485 polling
addresses each PIM-485-16-TD-NXT will emulate.
NOTE: This manual is to be used in addition to the PIM Installation Manual (M053-001-xxx) and
the Wyreless Access System Configuring and Operating Manual (M053-007-xxx).
There are four steps to installing a PIM-485-16-TD-NXT:
1. Using the PIM Installation manual (M053-001-xxx) determine the optimum PIM-485-16-TD-NXT
mounting location and permanently mount the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT in that location.
2. Using the NexSentry Star Access Control Unit User Guide manual (6600062B) for a Star I or the
NexSentry Star II Access Control Unit User Guide manual (6600058A) for a Star II, mount the Star
I/II Access Control Unit and connect it to the PC that will be running either a terminal emulator (Star
I) or the NexSentry software (Star II)
Note: Make certain that that Star I/II Terminal Block TB1 is conf igured for the S-NET
communication protocol.
3. Using this manual configure & connect the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT to the Star I/II Access Control
Unit (section 2.1, page 8).
4. Using this manual, link the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT to all the WAPMs it will control (section 2.3, page
