WPR400 Wireless Portable Reader User Guide

OVERVIEW

The WPR400 is a Wireless Access Point Module (WAPM) designed to interface with access control
panels through a PIM400. The WPR400:

• Communicates with the PIM400 via RF (radio frequency).

• May be linked only to a PIM400.

• Is powered with rechargeable batteries.

• May be used with all credential readers in the AD-Series product line.

• When attached to a credential reader, normally operates in on-line (Reader) mode. Information
contained in the user credentials is passed to an access control panel (ACP), which controls
WPR400 LEDs. The ACP maintains the audit trail.

• May be operated in Test mode, with or without a credential reader. In Test mode, the WPR400
continually tests the quality of the RF link with a PIM400.

The WPR400 is shipped in “reader” mode. See Test Mode on page 10 for information on using
the WRP400 as a tester.

If ordered as WPR400 x DT, the unit is shipped in Test mode.
