Schlage AD-400 Components
The Schlage AD-400 Series wireless system contains two different types of modules:
▪ One wireless panel interface module (PIM400)
▪ One wireless lock (AD-400)
The PIM400 (PIM400-485-VBB) is hard wired to the bright blue communication channels via RS-485 protocol.
The PIM400 installation location is determined by the location of the AD-400 lock with which it will communicate
via radio frequency (RF).
The AD-400 lock is installed at the access point where access will be controlled and/or monitored.

The PIM400-485-VBB can be integrated with the bright blue system, it works in conjunction with the AD-400
Locks. The PIM400-485-VBB module is hard wired directly to bright blue communication channels and
communicates via RS-485 protocol. The PIM400-485-VBB can support up to 16 AD-400 locks.
