Wireless system block diagram
The PIM (PIM-SBB Legacy) is hard wired to the
bright blue
power and communication channels via RS-485
protocol. The PIM installation location is determined by the location of the WAPM with which it will communicate
via radio frequency (RF).
The WAPM is installed at the access point where access will be controlled and/or monitored. Some wiring at the
access control point may be required, depending on the application being applied to the WAPM .
Regardless of which WAPM is used, the communication link is always RF.
