WPR400 Wireless Portable Reader User Guide
OVERVIEW
The WPR400 is a Wireless Access Point Module (WAPM) designed to interface with access control
panels through a PIM400. The WPR400:
• Communicates with the PIM400 via RF (radio frequency).
• May be linked only to a PIM400.
• Is powered with rechargeable batteries.
• May be used with all credential readers in the AD-Series product line.
• When attached to a credential reader, normally operates in on-line (Reader) mode. Information
contained in the user credentials is passed to an access control panel (ACP), which controls
WPR400 LEDs. The ACP maintains the audit trail.
• May be operated in Test mode, with or without a credential reader. In Test mode, the WPR400
continually tests the quality of the RF link with a PIM400.
The WPR400 is shipped in “reader” mode. See Test Mode on page 10 for information on using
the WRP400 as a tester.
If ordered as WPR400 x DT, the unit is shipped in Test mode.

WPR400 OPERATION
WPR400 Range
For optimum performance, the WPR400 should be operated within the following range limits:
• Maximum distance between the PIM400 and WPR400 is 200 feet (61 meters) horizontally on the
same floor in a building with normal construction materials.
• For a line-of-sight installation, maximum distance is 1000 feet (305 meters).
Connecting a Reader to the WPR400 (if necessary)
1. Connect the reader cable to the reader as shown below.
2. Secure the reader to the front cover using the screws and washers provided.

Permanently or Temporarily Mount the WPR400
• Mount the WPR400 using screws or Velcro®strips.
• The WPR400 should always be mounted at least one inch away from any metallic surface.
• Place the WPR400 in a position where it was successfully link tested.
Permanent mount with screws:
1. Remove the WPR400 cover.
2. Using the base as a template, mark the mounting holes.
3. Drill a hole at each mark and use a wall anchor and screws (not provided) to attach the WPR400.
4. If mounted on a metallic surface, use one inch non-metallic spacers (not provided).
Temporary mount with Velcro®strips:
1. Attach adhesive Velcro®strips (“hook” side) to the WPR400’s base.
2. Attach the other adhesive Velcro®strips (“loop” side) to the mounting surface, positioned
according to the placement of strips on the WPR400’s base.
3. Press the WPR400 to the mounting surface with both sets of strips aligned.

SCHLAGE UTILITY SOFTWARE (SUS)
The SUS can be used to configure credential reader settings.
For information about the SUS and credential reader settings, see the SUS User Guide at
www.schlage.com/support.
To start communication with the SUS:
1. Turn off the WPR400 power switch.
2. Loosen the 4 screws and remove the WPR400 cover.
3. Connect the USB communication cable to the WPR400 USB port.
USB Port
4. Log in to the SUS software. (See the SUS User Guide at www.schlage.com/support.)
5. Turn on the WPR400 power switch. Wait for the WPR400 to complete the power-on reset and the
LEDs to stop blinking.
6. Press the credential reader Schlage button two (2) times quickly.
The WPR400 is communicating with the SUS when the Schlage button blinks alternate right/left
red and the SUS display indicates “WPR400” at the bottom of the main screen.
7. The SUS software is now available to view or edit credential reader settings or update firmware.
To Edit Settings or Update Firmware on the WPR400, the SUS software and the WPR400 must be
coupled. Follow the steps below to couple the WPR400 and the SUS.
Coupling with the SUS
1. With power on the WPR400 and the SUS communicating as
described above, press and hold the IPB button while pressing the
TMP button three (3) times. The WPR400 will be in coupling mode
for approximately 20 seconds.
2. While in coupling mode, the WPR400 top right LED will be solid
amber, and the Schlage button on the reader will light solid green
and blinking red.
3. On SUS, select the option “Couple SUS to Device”. SUS will
report when coupling is successful. Successful coupling is
indicated on the WPR400 reader with the Schlage button blinking
alternate left–right red.

LINK TO A PIM400 (READER MODE ONLY)
Each time it is turned on, the WPR400 will check the quality of its link to a PIM400, if a link had
previously been made. If the previous link to a PIM400 cannot be re-established or it does not
exist, the WPR400 will automatically attempt to link to a PIM400.
Only one WPR400 or other WAPM can be linked at a time. Ensure that no other PIM400s are in link
mode during this process.
1. Make sure the batteries in the WPR400 are charged. If necessary, see Charge Batteries on page 13.
2. Turn off the WPR400.
3. Make sure that the PIM400 is in link mode. See Link Mode in the PIM400 User Guide for
more information.
4. Turn on the WPR400. The WPR400 will go through a power-on initialization and then
automatically attempt to link to a PIM400.
5. If the link is successful, the Schlage button will blink green, and the beeper will sound.
The number of green blinks/beeps indicates the RF channel number.
6. If the link fails, the WPR400 Schlage button will blink red three (3) times and five (5) short beeps
will sound. The PIM400 will remain in link mode, so the link may be attempted again.
The WPR400 will fail to link if the PIM400 is not properly set to link mode. The LEDs on the
PIM400 will alternately blink red and green.
The WPR400 will fail to link if it is not in RF range of the PIM400. Move the WPR400 closer to
the PIM400 location. (Do not exceed 200 feet (61 meters) distance between the WPR400 and
the PIM400. Do not locate the WPR400 and the PIM400 on separate floors of a building.)
7. Test the WPR400 for normal operation by presenting a valid credential. The Schlage button will
light green.
RE-LINK THE WPR400
The WPR400 requires re-link:
• When the WPR400 or PIM400 is moved or replaced
• When the RF channel is manually changed in the PIM400 (see Change the RF Channel on page 8
for more information)
• When Dynamic Channel Switching is activated in the PIM400 (see Enable Dynamic Channel
Switching on page 8 for more information)
• After the WPR400 or PIM400 has been Factory Default Reset.
To re-link, repeat the link procedure shown above.

WPR400 Wireless Portable Reader User Guide
CHANGE THE RF CHANNEL
! Changing the RF channel will terminate links with other WAPMs previously linked to the
PIM400.
The WPR400 radio frequency (RF) channel is controlled by the PIM400 it is linked with. The RF
channel in use may be changed on the PIM400 through the Schlage Utility Software (SUS).
Follow these steps to change the RF channel on the WPR400.
1. Start communication between the PIM400 and the SUS by logging in to the SUS application.
2. The SUS will display “AD400” when communicating.
3. Select “Device Options”.
4. Select “PIM Properties”.
5. Select the “Edit” tab.
6. Select a new/different RF channel.
7. Save your selection.
8. Select the “Link” tab.
9. Select a “Door Address” and click on the “Link” button.
10. Try to link again using the new RF channel.
ENABLE DYNAMIC CHANNEL SWITCHING
! Activation of Dynamic Channel Switching will terminate links with other WAPMs previously
linked to the PIM400.
Dynamic Channel Switching (DCS) is controlled by the PIM400 the WPR400 is linked with. DCS may
be enabled on the PIM400 through the Schlage Utility Software (SUS).
Follow these steps to enable Dynamic Channel Switching on the WPR400.
1. Start communication between the PIM400 and the SUS by logging in to the SUS application.
2. When communicating, the SUS will display “PIM400-485-RSI” for the PIM400-485, or
“PIM400-TD2” for the PIM400-TD2.
3. Select “Device Options”.
4. Select “PIM Properties”.
5. Scroll down to the “Dynamic Channel Switching” menu.
6. Select one of three (3) “Enable Channel”.
7. Save your selection.
8. Try to link again using the Dynamic Channel Switching selection.

“Install or Replace Batteries” on page 13.)
If the Wireless Portable Reader was ordered as WPR400 x DT, the unit is shipped in Test mode.
A credential reader is not required to operate the WPR400 in Test mode.
The PIM400 should be in Link mode prior to operation of the WPR400 in Test mode. (See Set Link
Mode on the PIM400 on page 11 for more information.)
To select Test mode:
1. Loosen the four screws and remove the WPR400 cover.
2. Place a jumper across the two pins of the “Mode” connector on the main circuit board.

3. Reassemble the WPR400 before powering on.
When powered on, the WPR400 will automatically enter Test mode and test the quality of the RF link.
If the RF link fails, the Schlage button will blink red three (3) times and five (5) short beeps will sound.
Repeat the link attempt by either of the following methods (the PIM400 will remain in link mode):
- without a reader attached, cycle the WPR400 power switch, or,
- with a reader attached, present any credential OR press any number key on the keypad.
If the link problem continues, see Improve RF Communication on page 12 for steps to correct the
problem.
