1. Wyreless AccessTM System Components
1.1 Overview
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
Recognition Source’s product line contains several different expressions of each module.
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 of three different optional Remote Antenna Modules which can be
an accessory of either a WPIM or a WAPM.

1.2 Optional Remote Antenna Module (RAM) Components & Accessories
All Wireless Panel Interface Modules (WPIMs) and all Wireless Access Point Modules (WAPMs)
contain either an internal or attached antenna.
There are two major reasons why an optional antenna might be used:
• To remote the antenna from the Wyreless Access Module location so that the Wyreless Access
Module can be located in more serviceable and/or secure area.
• To increase the RF range by using a directional antenna that provides RF gain.
Several Wyreless Access Modules have the option of using an optional antenna, see Table 1-3.
Recognition Source offers three different optional antennae (Table 1-1). Any optional antenna can be
used on any Wyreless Access Module that will accept an optional antenna.
Various antenna accessories are also available (Table 1-2).

2. Safety, Grounding, & Lightning Considerations
WARNING: Make certain that the Coax installation conforms to all
electrical codes (national and local) regarding grounding and lightning
protection requirements.
PolyPhaser’s Technical Information section of their web site
(www.polyphaser.com ) contains excellent information about grounding
and lightning protection.
2.1 Safety
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal
2.2 Antenna Grounding
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be grounded. Also many
areas have local antenna-grounding codes. Be sure that you are familiar with all of the grounding and
other antenna regulations in your area.
Antenna grounding includes mast grounding and coax grounding.
Make sure the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
A grounding block compatible with all Recognition Source Remote Antennae is available as an
accessory, see Table 1-2, on page 5 above.
PolyPhaser’s Technical Information section of their web site (www.polyphaser.com ) contains excellent
information about grounding.
2.3 Lightning Protection Consideration
Where lightning protection is a concern, a lightning protection device must be installed in series with the
coax and mounted at the antenna end of the coax cable.
A lightning protection device (surge protection filter) compatible with all Recognition Source Remote
Antennae is available as an accessory, see Table 1-2, on page 5 above.
Install one of these devices at the antenna per PolyPhaser’s instructions including weatherization
requirements.
PolyPhaser’s Technical Information section of their web site (www.polyphaser.com ) contains excellent
information about lightning protection.
