AD-400 Lock Setup Guide

AD-400 Lock Setup Guide

1.0 Introduction

This section explains how to setup and use the Allegion AD-400 wireless locks with the NXT Mercury Powered (MSC) controllers. These locks have extensive functionality and operating modes and are combined units consisting of the electric lock, credential reader, Request-to-Exit and Request-to-Enter sensors, door position switch and tamper guard.


Note: Effective from Doors.NET v5.2.0 you can mix and match ENGAGE Gateways, PIM-400s and AD-300s on the same bus. You can add up to 8 x ENGAGE Gateways, 8 x PIM-400s or 32 AD-300s (to each controller bus). Adding one of these supported devices will reduce the number of other devices that can be added. For example, if 4 x ENGAGE gateways are added you will then be limited to adding 4 x PIM-400s or 28 AD-300s.


AD-400 Schematic


Maximum Number of AD-400 Locks Per PIM-400 and Per Controller

  1. The maximum number of AD-400 locks per PIM-400 is 16.
  2. The maximum number of AD-400 locks you can add to an NXT-MSC 2D controller is 64.
  3. The maximum number of AD-400 locks you can add to an NXT-MSC 4D controller is 64.

Note: Effective from Doors.NET v5.2.0, when using NXT-MSC controllers you will need to delete the Keri NXT reader which is added to the bus by default and then configure the protocol to support the Schlage RSI protocol before adding the PIM-400.

4.0 Configure the AD-400 With the Schlage™ Utility Software and Android App

The Schlage Utility Software (SUS) is an application that runs on supported Android devices. It is used to configure, edit and program all supported devices.

You can use the app to; edit the AD-300 lock properties, update the lockset's firmware, couple the HHD to the device, set the date/time and run diagnostics.

This section assumes that you have already:

 

  • Downloaded and installed the SUS Android app.

 

4.1 Logging into the App for the First Time

  1. Once the application is downloaded, you must change default password.
  2. Select User Type: Manager or Operator.
  3. Enter Default Password: 123456.
  4. You will be prompted to enter a new password and confirm the new password.

    >> New password must not be a default password, subset or super set of default password.

  5. You must log in again with User Type: Manager or Operator and new password.

 

4.2 Couple the Mobile device to the AD-400

This section explains how to connect and couple the mobile device to the AD-400 locks:

 

Note: The mobile device must have file transfer via USB enabled to function properly.

    For example, if you are using a 4-door controller:
    → Bus 1 = The first PIM module on bus 1 is address 0, second is address 1, and so on...
    → Bus 2 = The first PIM module on bus 2 is address 0, second is address 1, and so on...
    → Bus 3 = The first PIM module on bus 3 is address 0, second is address 1, and so on...
    → Bus 4 = The first PIM module on bus 4 is address 0, second is address 1, and so on...

  3. Disconnect the HHD.
  4. Remove the USB cable from the PIM400/485 KRI and turn off the HHD.

 

Other lock and PIM settings may be configured by selecting Door Properties or PIM Properties from within the app. Other editable items include: Heart Beat and Comm Loss Mode - for these item settings consult the SUS for Android User Guide.
