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 WPIMs are wired to access control panels and usually are installed very close to the access control
panels. The WPIMs installation locations are determined by the location of the WAPMs with which they
will communicate using RF.
The WAPMs are installed at access points where access will be controlled and/or monitored. Depending
on the application and which WAPM is used, some wiring at the access 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 a Panel Interface Module (PIM) or a Panel Interface Module
Expander (PIME), both of which are WPIMs

2. Determining the Best PIM Location
It is important to determine the best mounting location for the PIM to insure that reliable RF communications
between the PIM and its WAPMs can be achieved.
Please refer to the WAPM installation manual for determining the best location for the WAPM.
2.1 PIM Location Guidelines
NOTE: A WAPM located with a substantial steel barrier intervening between it and the PIM may
require alternate PIM placement in order to ensure reliable RF communications. In these
applications, mount the PIM remote from the access control panel. Choose the PIM location to
prevent “shadowing” of the WAPM from PIM radio transmissions.
2.1.1 If the PIM and WAPM are to be used in a line of sight application (i.e. the PIM antenna can visually
see the WAPM antenna with no obstructions), then the maximum distance between the PIM and
WAPM is 1000’. If the WAPM is an IRL, then the maximum distance is 600’.
2.1.2 If the PIM and WAPM are to be used in a building using normal construction, then the maximum
distance between the PIM and WAPM is 200’ horizontally.
2.1.3 Always try to install the PIM on the same floor of a building as the WAPMs it controls.
2.1.4 If WAPM(s) are on another floor of a building (one floor up or down), cut the range by 100 feet for
each floor away from the PIM.
2.1.5 Never install the PIM more than 1 floor away from its WAPMs.
2.1.6 Never install the PIM in an all cinder block, concrete or metal room.
2.1.7 If possible, install the PIM halfway between all the WAPMs it will control and never more than 200
feet away from any. Remember to include the WAPMs that will be controlled by a PIME, if one is
used.
2.1.8 Always mount the PIM so the antenna is vertical for best performance.
2.1.9 Install the PIM as far above the floor as possible, 6 feet is usually optimum for operation and
maintenance.
2.1.10 If possible, mount the PIM so that is there are the minimum number of obstacles between the antennas
of the PIM and the WAPM.
2.1.11 Line-of-sight means no obstructions ever. If obstructions like moving vehicles can block the line-of-
sight, even if for very short times, reduce the specified range in half.
2.1.12 A PIM must, in all directions (sides, top, bottom, and back), have a minimum 3” separation from any
metal surface. Therefore if the PIM must be mounted on a metal surface, though not recommended, a
user supplied 3” non-metallic spacer (i.e. wood) must be provided.
A PIM-OTD must, in all directions (sides, top, bottom, and back), have a minimum 1” separation
from any metal surface. Therefore if the PIM-OTD must be mounted on a metal surface, though not
recommended, the supplied 1” spacer kit (K384-003-001) must be used.
2.2 Pre-installation Wyreless Access ™ Test
Once the best locations for the PIM and WAPM(s) have been determined, use this procedure to
check performance prior to installation:
2.2.1 As close as possible to its exact mounting location, temporarily mount the WAPM to the access
control point (i.e. a door, a gate, an elevator). Do not connect battery pack yet.
2.2.2 Temporarily mount PIM in the exact location and orientation it is intended to be mounted.
2.2.3 Install the PIM antenna as indicated in Section 3.5.

2.2.4 Power the PIM temporarily with a 12-volt battery capable of delivering 300 mA by connecting it to J1
– positive left, negative right (depending on PIM PCB being used see Figure 3-1 or Figure 3-2).
2.2.5 Put the PIM into Link Mode (S1 or S2) for the WAPM (A or B) being tested (depending on PIM PCB
being used see Figure 3-1 or Figure 3-2).
2.2.6 Go to the access control point being tested. Make sure the access control point is in its secure state
(i.e. closed). Connect battery. Verify that linking has occurred. Successful linking is indicated at the
WAPM by the green LED flashing and optionally by an internal sounder beeping. The number of
green flashes and audible beeps should be the same as the channel number that the PIM is set to. This
linking process can take from 20-60 seconds to complete.
2.2.7 If linking occurred successfully, link second WAPM similarly, then proceed with installing the
WAPM(s) and PIM.
2.2.8 If linking does not occur successfully, move the PIM 6-10 inches in any convenient direction (up,
down, sideways) and repeat until all WAPMs link successfully. Once the linking is successful, then
proceed with installing the WAPMs and PIM.
2.2.9 If still not successful, change channels and repeat or move PIM closer to the WAPMs and repeat.

3. Installing the Panel Interface Module (PIM)
There are two versions of the PIM printed circuit board (PCB): RS232 (Figure 3-1), and RS485 (Figure 3-2).
3.1 How to determine the version of PIM PCB
The version of PIM PCB being installed can be identified by observing which connectors are installed on
the PCB. Compare the board being installed toFigure 3-1, and Figure 3-2.
3.1.1 RS232 PIM PCB (Figure 3-1)
If the RS232, 9-pin connector, J5, is installed and the RS485, 5-pin terminal block, J7, is missing then
it is a RS232 PIM PCB
3.1.2 RS485 PIM PCB (Figure 3-2
The RS485 PIM PCB can be uniquely identified in one of two ways:
• If the RS232, 9-pin connector, J5, is installed and the RS485, 5-pin terminal block, J7, is
installed it is a RS485 PIM PCB
• If the Access Point A, 8-pin panel connector, J3 and the Access Point B, 8-pin panel
connector, J4, are missing it is a RS485 PIM PCB

3.4 Mounting the PIM
3.4.1 PIM
If installing a PIM, see Table 1-1, PIM column, use this procedure:
3.4.1.1 Remove the desired knockout with the screwdriver and hammer.
3.4.1.1.1 To remove the inner ½” electrical metallic tubing (conduit) knockout, place screwdriver
blade into inner groove and strike top of screwdriver handle with a hammer.
3.4.1.1.2 To remove the outer ¾” electrical metallic tubing (conduit), repeat the above procedure but
place the screwdriver blade in the outer groove.
3.4.1.2 If the PIM is to be mounted on a metal surface, install a 3”, non-metallic spacer (i.e. wood) to
the metal surface first, then proceed, as described below, to fasten the PIM to the non-metallic
spacer.
3.4.1.3 Place the PIM with its door opened, against the wall or against installed non-metallic spacer in
the position it was successfully “link” tested (Section 2.2)
3.4.1.4 Using the four mounting holes in the back of the PIM housing as a template, mark these holes
with a pencil.
3.4.1.5 Set the PIM down and drill the four holes with a 9/32” diameter drill bit, 1 ¾” deep.
3.4.1.6 Insert the four anchors provided firmly into the holes so they are flush with the wall or the non-
metallic spacer.
3.4.1.7 Screw in the four screws provided to attach the PIM to the wall or the non-metallic spacer.
3.4.2 PIM-OTD
If installing a PIM-OTD, see Table 1-1, PIM-OTD column, use this procedure:
3.4.2.1 When using the internal “C” antenna with the PIM-OTD or PIME-OTD, wire routing inside the
enclosure is very important. Improper wire routing will reduce the RF range. Keep the wires
inside the enclosure as short as possible (i.e. do not coil an excess wire inside the enclosure).
(Figure 3-3 & Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-3 – Improper Wire Routing
Figure 3-4 – Proper Wire Routing
There are dimples on the sides and bottom of the PIM-OTD enclosure indicating the only proper
place to drill holes (Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6).

NOTE: There are two dimples on the top of the PIM-OTD enclosure. These are for remote
antenna installation and are not to be used for signal/power wiring.
Using these dimples, drill hole(s) in the PIM-OTD enclosure, to accommodate the size and
number of entry/exit connectors to be used.
NOTE: When drilling, make certain that the drill bit does not damage any electronics inside
the enclosure. Use light drill pressure so that the bit does not enter the enclosure very far
when the bit breaks through the inside of the enclosure.
3.4.2.2 Place the PIM-OTD, with its cover removed, against the wall in the position it was successfully
“link” tested (Section 2.2)
3.4.2.3 Using the four mounting holes in the corner of the PIM-OTD housing as a template, mark these
holes with a pencil.
3.4.2.4 Set the PIM-OTD down and drill the four holes with a 9/32” diameter drill bit, 1 ¾” deep.
3.4.2.5 Insert the four anchors provided (kit: K381-000-001) firmly into the holes so they are basically
flush with the wall.
3.4.2.6 If the PIM-OTD is to be mounted on a non-metallic surface use the #8, 1½” screws provided
(kit: K381-000-001) to attach the PIM-OTD to the wall..
If the PIM-OTD is to be mounted on a metallic surface use the 1” round by 1” high (1” O.D. x
1”) spacers and the #8, 2½” screws provided (kit: K384-003-001) to attach the PIM-OTD 1”
from the wall.

3.6 Connecting the RS232 PIM PCB to the Access Control Panel
Review the PIM Functional Components from Section 3.1 before connecting the RS232 PIM PCB to an
access control panel.
Caution: Disconnect the access control panel’s power and standby batteries while wiring the PIM
to the panel.
Warning! Because each access control panel is different, always check the panel’s instruction manual
for appropriate interface wiring.
Use shielded 8-conductor wire for the signal wiring between PIM and the access control panel.
Refer to Table 5-1 for maximum wiring lengths and cable specifications.
There are 6 different wiring connections that need to be made between the PIM and the Access Control
Panel. These 6 connections need to be made for each of the Access Points on the PIM if both are used:
3.6.1 DC Power (required)
Refer to J1 section of Table 3-2 for how to connect DC power to the PIM. This connection is always
required regardless of the system application or configuration.
3.6.2 Access Point Card Reader (optional)
Refer to J3/J4 section of Table 3-2 for how to connect the Card Reader signals from the PIM to the
access control panel. This connection is optional depending on the system application or
configuration. Make certain there is at least one signal ground connection between the PIM and the
access control panel.
3.6.2.1 The Card Reader signals on earlier PIM versions are driven by open-collector (open drain)
devices. If the access control panel does not have internal pull-up resistors then external pull-up
resistors (external to the access control panel) will need to be installed. See Recognition Source
Application Note A664-006-xxx: “When Are PIM External Pull-Up Resistors Needed?”
3.6.2.2 Later versions of the PIM RS232 PCB have optional pull-up resistors on the PCB. These pull-
up resistors are enabled or disabled using PCB shorting blocks (jumpers) (Table 3-2). The PIM
RS232 with pull-up resistors on the PCB are shipped with the pull-ups enabled.

PIM open collector output, used to indicate that the Access Point has some type of
trouble that needs attention or maintenance (15 VDC max, 50ma max).
This connection only needs to be made if the Access Point trouble status needs to be
monitored
Default configuration: low = trouble. Logic polarity configurable.
DATA/D0 Data or Data 0
Input
CLK/D1 Clock or Data 1
Input
PIM outputs shipped with 1Kohm pull-up resistors to +5VDC option enabled
(configurable to open collector by removing PCB jumpers), used to present card data
to the access control panel. Generally, if the Access Point uses a magnetic reader then
the PIM will present clock & data signals to the access control panel. If the Access
Point uses a Wiegand or Proximity reader then the PIM will present data1/data0
signals to the access control panel.
It is easy to get these signals reversed, if the first hookup fails to work, try switching
the wires at these terminals. (6 VDC max, 50ma max).
Refer to section 3.6.2 above, for pull-up resistor options for these signals.
Default configuration: pull-up resistors = enabled. Configurable via PCB jumpers.

3.7 Connecting the RS485 PIM PCB to the Access Control Panel
Review the PIM Functional Components from Section 3.1 before connecting the RS485 PIM to an access
control panel.
Caution: Disconnect the access control panel’s power and standby batteries while wiring the PIM
to the panel.
Warning! Because each access control panel is different, always check the panel’s instruction manual
for appropriate interface wiring.
Use shielded 3 or 5 conductor wire for the signal wiring between PIM and the access control panel.
Refer to Table 5-1 for maximum wiring lengths and cable specifications.
There are 2 different wiring connections that need to be made between the PIM and the Access Control
Panel.
3.7.1 DC Power (required)
Refer to J1 section of Table 3-3 for how to connect DC power to the PIM. This connection is always
required regardless of the system application or configuration.
3.7.2 RS485 Connections (required)
Refer to J7 section of Table 3-3 for how to connect the RS485 signals from the RS485 PIM to the
access control panel.
Notes about making a RS485 connection: There is some confusion about the “A” and “B”
designations for the RS485 signals. The EIA RS-485 Specification labels the data wires as “A” and
“B” but many RS485 products label their wires “+” and “-.” Some products associate the “+” signal
with “A”, some with “B”. The bottom line is that the “+” should always be connected to the “+” and
the “-“ to the “-“ however it is designated. Reversing the polarity will not damage either RS485
device, it just won’t communicate. So take your best guess (a 50/50 chance) about connecting “+” to
“+” and “-“ to “-“ and if it doesn’t work, switch them!

4. Installing a Panel Interface Module Extender
The PIM and the PIM-OTD can be expanded to control two additional access points by adding a Panel
Interface Module Extender (PIME). To expand the PIM use a PIME, to expand the PIM-OTD use a PIME-
OTD.
4.1 Installing an Extender in a PIM Enclosure
Installing a PIME permits one PIM enclosure (indoor) to control two additional access points for a total
of four. The PIME is a PCB identical to the PCB in a standard PIM. The PIME mounts in the PIM
enclosure to the right of the standard PIM PCB using 6 screws (Figure 4-1). All 6 screws are held in place
by retaining washers and screw into threaded bosses inside the PIM enclosure. The top 4 screws use thin
fiber retaining washers and the bottom 2 screws use a thicker nylon retaining washer. The retaining
washers provide the proper spacing for mounting the PIME and therefore it is very important that the
retaining washers be used and that the thicker nylon washers are only used on the bottom two holes.
Once the PIME is mechanically mounted in the PIM enclosure, follow the instructions in section 3.5 to
install the PIME antenna and connect the PIME to the access control panel. The installation instructions
in section 3.5 are written for a PIM, when installing a PIME; substitute PIME where ever PIM is found.
NOTE: If the PIME is installed after the PIM was installed it may be necessary to re-evaluate if the
current PIM location is optimum for all the WAPMs that this location will control (see section 2).

4.2 Installing an Extender in a PIM-OTD Enclosure
Installing an Extender permits one PIM-OTD enclosure (outdoor) to control two additional access points
for a total of four. The PIME-OTD is a PCB identical to the PCB in a standard PIM-OTD. The PIME-
OTD mounts in the PIM-OTD enclosure to the right of the standard PIM-PCB using four 3/8”, #6 thread
forming screws, provided (Figure 4-2).

Once the Extender is mechanically mounted in the PIM-OTD enclosure, follow the instructions in section
3.5 to install the Extender antenna and connect the Extender to the access control panel. The installation
instructions in section 3.5 are written for a PIM, when installing a PIME-OTD substitute PIME-OTD
where ever PIM is found.
NOTE: If the PIME-OTD is installed after the PIM-OTD was installed it may be necessary to re-evaluate
if the current PIM-OTD location is optimum for all the WAPMs that this location will control (see section
2).
