1.0 Introduction

This document explains how to setup and use the Allegion AD-400 wireless locks with the NXT-MSC (Mercury Powered) controllers. The NXT-MSC controller connects to a PIM-400 via an RS-485 connection and the PIM-400 module communicates to the AD-400 locks securely using 900 MHz wireless technology.

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.

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 on the bus to support the Schlage RSI protocol. It will then be possible to add the PIM-400 to the bus.

1. In the Android SUS app, select Device Options >> PIM properties >> Edit.
2. Select the correct RS-485 address. The address number is determined by how many modules will be added to each of the controller buses.
   
   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 USB cable from the PIM-400. 

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.

10.0 Connecting the NXT-MSC Controller to the PIM-400

Wiring the PIM-400 to an NXT-MSC Controller

• Jumpers must be in place on J19 and J20
  
• The PIM-400 wires directly to the NXT-MSC's 485 bus (4 conductor port). Take note which buss/es) are being used so these can be configured properly. 
  (DO NOT POWER FROM NXT CONTROLLER, PIM400 MUST HAVE ITS OWN POWER SUPPLY).
• Each PIM-400 can handle up to 16 (max) AD-400 locksets.

• Additional PIM-400 installed on an NXT-MSC controller will not increase the 64 AD-400 MAX lock limit per controller.

• More than 64 AD400 locks will require additional NXT-MSC controllers.

11.0 Configuring Doors.NET for the AD-400 and PIM-400

This section assumes the NXT (MSC) 2-door or 4-door controller is online, configured and ready to add the AD-400/PIM-400 to the database.

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.

(Refer to the NXT (MSC) controller Quick Start Guide for further details about setting up and configuring this controller type with Doors.NET).

1. Log in to Doors.NET and go to Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
