2.4 PIM-485-16-TD-NXT Card Formats

The PIM-485-16-TD-NXT accepts a 26 bit Wiegand format, strips off the two parity bits and the eight bit facility code field, the resulting 16 bit card number field is sent to the STAR I/II controller for further processing.

2.5 PIM-485-16-TD-NXT Alarms

THIS FEATURE HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET.

Each WAPM linked to a PIM-485-16-TD-NXT can report five different types of alarms: low battery, reader tamper, loss of RF communications, lock motor stall, and PIM tamper. The PIM-485-16-TD-NXT reports these alarms using specific NexSentry alarm addresses as shown in Table 2-7.

2.6 What Happens if the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT Loses DC Power

All of the configuration and linking information is stored in non-volatile memory in the PIM-485-16-TD- NXT. Therefore if PIM-485-16-TD-NXT DC power is lost or cycled, upon restoring DC power, the PIM will continue operation with the same configuration and linking information. There is no need to re- configure or re-link.

2.7 Using the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT Reset Switch

The Reset Switch, S3, is used if the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT does not seem to be working properly. Pressing the Reset Switch has the same effect as cycling DC power to the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT.
