Overview
The Schlage optional remote antenna module is an external antenna that provides a
means of increasing the radio frequency (RF) range between a Panel Interface Module
(PIM) and a Wireless Access Point Module (WAPM). WAPM’s include AD-400 locks,
Wireless Reader Interfaces (WRI400), Wireless Status Monitors (WSM400) and Wireless
Portable Readers (WPR400).
The remote antenna module is connected to the remote antenna connector on a PIM400 or
WRI400.
• Before installing a remote antenna module, read the user guide for the PIM400 or
WRI400 and the WAPM.
• As with all radio systems, interference may be a problem. Some causes of interference
are microwave ovens, certain lighting systems, microwave transmitters, or high speed
processors for computers.
Getting started
Follow these general steps when setting up a remote antenna module:
1. Install the PIM400 or the WRI400 in a designated location within 15 cable feet of where
the remote antenna will be located. (For more information on the PIM400 or WRI400,
see the installation guides that came with the products, or visit www.schlage.com/
support.)
2. Remove power from the PIM400 or WRI400.
3. Thoroughly check all national and local electrical codes regarding grounding and
lightning protection.
4. Familiarize yourself with the information contained in this user guide.
Save this user guide for future reference.

Antenna location, safety and grounding
Location
All antenna models in this guide should be located according to the following requirements:
• Locate within 15 cable feet of the PIM400 or WRI400.
• Locate for best RF line-of-sight path with the WAPM that will be linked to the PIM400
or WRI400.
• Do not locate the antenna close to metal in frames, walls or oors.
Additional location and installation requirements for specic antenna models are provided in
the table below:
Antenna model Requirements
ANT400-REM-CEILING
ANT400-REM-HALL
• Intended for indoor applications.
• If local electrical code requires lightning protection, the
antenna must be installed with a grounding kit. See
Accessories on page 4 for more information.
• The ANT400-REM-HALL antenna’s vertical and horizontal
centerlines should be at right angles to the target antenna.
See ANT400-REM-HALL radio frequency radiation pattern
on page 7 for radio frequency beamwidth radiation
pattern specications.
ANT400-REM-I/O
ANT400-REM-I/O+6dB
• Intended for indoor or outdoor applications.
• Outdoor applications must be installed with a grounding kit.
• Local electrical code may require lightning protection
for indoor applications. If required, the antenna must be
installed with a grounding kit. See Accessories on page
4 for more information.
ANT400-REM-I/O+6dB
• The antenna’s vertical and horizontal centerlines should be
at right angles to the target antenna. See ANT400-REM-I/O
+6dB radio frequency radiaton pattern on page 6 for
radio frequency beamwidth radiation pattern specications.
Safety
WARNING - You can be seriously or fatally injured if this antenna comes in contact
with electric power lines or is brought in proximity with a high voltage electrical eld.
For your own safety, use extreme caution when installing this antenna. Keep away
from power lines!
Grounding
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be properly
grounded. Local electrical codes may have additional requirements. Consult the NEC and
local electrical codes for information on proper grounding of the antenna system and other
antenna regulations.
A grounding kit compatible with all antenna models in this guide is available as an accessory.
See Accessories on page 4.
Lightning protection
All antenna models in this user guide are equipped with DC grounding. The only lightning
protection required is a grounding kit. See Accessories on page 4 for a grounding kit
available for use with all antenna models shown in this guide.

Connect the coax cable
The coax cable furnished with all antenna models:
• is suitable for outdoor installation
• should be routed with minimum bends, and when necessary any bend radius should be
greater than two (2) inches
• is properly terminated and should not be cut to length
• if there is excess coax, it should be coiled no less than eight (8) inches in diameter
• should not have excess coax placed inside or near the antenna, or inside the PIM400
enclosure.
LThe grounding block must be connected to earth ground.
LCable connections must be securely fastened.
LOutdoor antennas that are exposed to weather may require weatherproong on
coax connections.

1. Drill a B\,” (16 mm) hole in the enclosure at the proper location, depending on the
PIM400 model or WRI400 as shown below.
LTo avoid damage to electronics inside the enclosure, remove electronics from the
enclosure before drilling.
2. Install the N connector through the B\,” hole.
3. Connect the reverse MCX plug on the end of the coax whip to the PIM400 or WRI400
radio antenna board. The reverse MCX is a right angle connector.
4. Securely fasten the N connector through the B\,” hole using the lock washer and nut
provided.

Testing
Test to verify that the antenna has been correctly installed:
LIf you encounter problems while performing the following tests, refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this guide and/or within the applicable WAPM user
guide.
1. Place the PIM400 into link mode. Refer to the PIM400-485 User Guide or the PIM400-
TD2 User Guide, in “Link Mode” section.
2. Place the WAPM into link mode. Refer to the AD400/AD401 or WRI400 User Guide, in
“Link to a PIM400” section.
3. Verify that the WAPM links successfully with the PIM400. Refer to the label located
inside the PIM400 enclosure for LED blink patterns that indicate successful linking.

14 • Schlage • ANT400 user guide
Troubleshooting
• Verify the PIM400 is in link mode. Status LEDs should be alternating green to red
continously.
• Verify the coax in the PIM400 or WRI400 is securely connected to the RF board. (See
reverse MCX plug connection on page 9.)
• Verify the N Type coax connectors are securely tightened on the PIM400 or WRI400, the
grounding kit (if installed), and at the antenna connection.
• Verify the antenna is properly mounted vertically.
• Locate the antenna for best RF line-of-sight path with the PIM400 or WRI400.
• Verify the antenna radiation pattern is properly aligned in the WAPM’s direction.
• Verify the WAPM is in link mode.

Federal Communication Commission interference statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC/IC caution
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment. To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled
exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least
20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada statements
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 9.3 dBi.
Antennas not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is
50 ohms.
