Alarm Lock AL-IME2-EXP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Alarm Lock AL-IME2-EXP actually do, and do I need the AL-IME2 gateway first?
The AL-IME2-EXP is a range expander, not a standalone gateway. It extends the coverage area of an AL-IME2 Gateway by roughly 100 feet per unit, so the gateway has to already be in place and on the network. If you have no gateway yet, the expander gives you nothing on its own.
2) How many Trilogy Networx expanders can I put on one AL-IME2 gateway?
Up to seven AL-IME2-EXP expanders per gateway. For a campus or a large floor plate, that is how you plan the layout: count your gateways first, then add expanders under each one up to seven before you need another gateway.
3) What wireless range should I plan for with the Networx gateway expander in a real building?
Clear field range is 500 feet, but indoors you should plan on 75 to 175 feet to Networx locks and 50 to 125 feet to ArchiTech Networx locks. ArchiTech openings are the shorter reach, so lay out expander positions around those doors first. Radio is 900 MHz GFSK, 50 channels, 10 mW output.
4) Does the AL-IME2-EXP come with a power supply or do I need to source one?
A 6VAC transformer is supplied with the unit. Input is 5 to 6 volts AC with 650 mA peak supply current, so you need an accessible receptacle or a dedicated low voltage run at each expander location. Budget for the outlet when you pick mounting spots.
5) Can I mount a Trilogy Networx expander in an unconditioned space like a stairwell or parking structure?
Operating range is -20 to 60 degrees C (-4 to 140 degrees F), which covers most unconditioned interior spaces, garages, and stairwells. It is powered by a plug-in 6VAC transformer, so the limiting factor is usually finding protected power rather than temperature.
6) Does the AL-IME2-EXP work with DL-Windows and our existing access control platform?
It runs under Trilogy Networx DL-WINDOWS software, and the gateway system it extends can optionally integrate with Lenel OnGuard or Continental CardAccess. The expander itself is transparent to the software; you manage the locks, not the expander.
7) I have one dead spot at the end of a corridor. Should I add an expander or a second gateway?
For a single gap roughly 100 feet past your current coverage, the expander is the right call, it needs only 6VAC power at the location and no network drop. Add a second AL-IME2 gateway when you have run out of the seven expanders one gateway allows, or when the area needs its own network connection rather than a radio hop.
8) How do I tell if the Gen 2 expander is communicating after install?
The Generation 2 housing carries three LED indicators for status at the unit. After you restore power, verify normal operation, network connectivity, and communication back to the AL-IME2 Gateway before closing out the install.
