Spec Sheet
Overview
The PIM400-485 seamlessly integrates to select access control panels via RS-485,
eliminating the need for reader interface modules. Each PIM400-485 supports up to
16 wireless access devices such as AD-400/401 locks.
Reliability
Reliable communications result from several technological advances and
incorporated features. 900 MHz spread spectrum technology enables high
transmission power in a license-free band. Error detection algorithm maintains data
integrity on each transmission, and redundant transmissions ensure communication
success. Periodic “heartbeat” signals provide supervision and assure reliable RF
communications are maintained. Lastly, dynamic channel switching (DCS) can be
enabled to overcome harsh RF environments by automatically changing channels to
avoid potential interference.
Security
Used extensively by government and military organizations, spread spectrum
technology provides significant security advantages over conventional transmission
methods. Wireless access devices utilize spread spectrum transmissions, which are
encrypted with AES 128-bit keys, to yield a system that is virtually uncompromisable.
In addition, scalability is virtually unlimited as each AD-Series wireless access
module has nearly a million addresses to choose from during the linking process.
Centralized lock/unlock command in 10 seconds or less
Patent-pending Wake-Up on Radio (WOR) feature drives communication from the
PIM400 to any or all linked wireless devices in 10 seconds or less. This innovative
feature works eciently in parallel with periodic “heartbeat”, to maintain up to 2 year
battery life on wireless devices such as the AD-400/401 locks. Response rate can be
field configured down to 1 second with consideration of battery life. When Wake-Up
on Radio is used in critical applications, dynamic channel switching should also be
enabled.
