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).
The remote antenna module is connected to the remote antenna connector on a PIM400 or
WRI400.
• Before installing a remote antenna module, read the user guide for the PIM400 or
WRI400 and the WAPM.
• As with all radio systems, interference may be a problem. Some causes of interference
are microwave ovens, certain lighting systems, microwave transmitters, or high speed
processors for computers.
