Outdoor gate applications
Follow the guidelines below for reliable performance between the WRI400 and PIM400 when
used to control an outdoor gate.
• When using the PIM400’s internal antenna mount the PIM400 at least 6 feet (1.8 meters)
away from the floor.
• If installing the PIM400 in a room with metal walls or metal mesh in the walls, a Remote
Antenna Module (ANT400) is required to be located outside of the room.
• Mount the WRI400 upright within a secured area in direct line-of-sight to the PIM400 (or the
antenna module).
• If the WRI400 to be controlled by this PIM400 is outdoors, install the PIM400 indoors
within a secured area on the inside of the building’s outer wall nearest the gate. Use a
remote antenna with the PIM400 and mount the antenna on the outside the building in
direct line-of-sight to the WRI400(s).
L
If the WRI400 is mounted on a metal wall or wall with metal mesh, refer to page
9 for installation instructions.
• If a site uses more than one WRI400, install a PIM400 within direct sight of WRI400s
under its control. Maximum line-of-sight distance is 1000 feet (305 meters)* between
any WRI400 and PIM400. If necessary, use a separate PIM400 for each WRI400.
• Obstructions between the WRI400’s antenna and the PIM400’s antenna will decrease
the distance that they may be placed apart.
