Description
CDVI PIM400-485 RS-485 Schlage Panel Interface Module for AD-Series Wireless Locks
The CDVI PIM400-485 is a wireless panel interface module designed to connect compatible Schlage AD-Series wireless locks and access points to supported access control systems through an RS-485 communication bus. It provides the bridge between Schlage wireless door hardware and the host access control panel, helping eliminate the need for a separate traditional reader interface module at each wireless opening.
Using 900 MHz spread-spectrum RF communication and AES-128 encryption capability, the PIM400-485 supports secure, real-time communication with compatible Schlage wireless devices. When used with the CDVI ADH10K controller, a single PIM400-485 can support up to 10 compatible wireless access devices, making it a practical integration solution for multi-door commercial access control systems.

RS-485 Integration for Schlage Wireless Access Control
The PIM400-485 connects directly to a compatible access control panel using RS-485 communication and communicates wirelessly with supported Schlage access devices. This architecture allows access control data to move between the host panel and wireless door hardware without requiring conventional reader and lock wiring to every opening.
Schlage AD-Series CompatibilityThe PIM400-485 is designed for networked applications using compatible Schlage AD-Series wireless access devices. It serves as the wireless communication gateway between the locks and the access control panel.

CDVI ADH10K IntegrationCDVI specifically supports the PIM400-485 as an integration accessory for the ADH10K Door Handle Integration Controller. Connected through the RS-485 communication bus, the PIM allows the ADH10K and ATRIUM environment to communicate with compatible Schlage wireless door hardware. A single PIM400-485 can support up to 10 wireless access devices in the CDVI ADH10K application. |
Secure 900 MHz Wireless Communication
Communication between the PIM400-485 and compatible wireless access points uses the 902–928 MHz frequency range with 900 MHz spread-spectrum technology. The platform provides 10 available wireless channels and supports AES-128 encryption for secure transmission between the interface module and compatible Schlage wireless hardware.
Selectable channels and optional dynamic channel switching help maintain dependable wireless communication in environments where multiple RF systems may be operating.
