Schlage Electronics PIM400-TD2 Panel Interface Board, Supports 2 Doors

The PIM400-TD2 is the bridge between wireless locks and a hardwired access control panel. It talks to the panel (or the panel's reader interface module) over Wiegand or Clock and Data, so the panel treats each wireless opening as if a reader were wired back to it. The wireless side of the link is what saves the conduit run to the door.

Two. Each PIM400-TD2 supports up to two wireless access devices, so an opening count above two means more than one module. Size the quantity by openings, not by panel.

No. The module integrates to virtually any access control panel and its reader interface modules, because it speaks the two protocols nearly every panel already accepts on its reader inputs, Wiegand and Clock and Data. If your existing head end reads standard Wiegand, the wireless locks land on it as ordinary reader ports.

It is not a controller. The PIM400-TD2 is an interface board: access decisions stay in the panel it connects to. If you want a self-contained two-door controller instead, the CDVI Americas A22 ATRIUM 2-Door Controller ships with power supply and box, and CDVI lists it as a controller with reader. Choose the PIM400-TD2 when a panel already exists and you want wireless openings on it; choose an Atrium-style controller when you are starting from nothing.

No. The PIM400-TD2 is a panel interface board: it links to an access control panel and its reader interface modules over Wiegand or Clock and Data and supports up to two wireless access devices such as AD-400/401 Series locks, which are ordered separately. Where a two-door package that already includes the locking and reading hardware is wanted, the CDVI Americas A22K1DS is a KRYPTO kit supplied with door strikes, and the A22K1 comes with two K1 readers and DESFire EV2 credentials.

They sit at different points in the access control chain. The PIM400-TD2 is a panel interface board that integrates to an existing access control panel and its reader interface modules over Wiegand or Clock and Data, and carries up to two wireless access devices such as AD-400/401 Series locks. The CDVI Americas A22 is an ATRIUM 2-door controller supplied with a power supply and box, and its product function is controller with reader. So the PIM400-TD2 extends a panel you already have out to two wireless openings, while the A22 is the controller itself for two doors.

The PIM400-TD2 is a panel interface for wireless Schlage locks and does not itself define your credential technology. For a two-door job built around high security encrypted credentials, look at the CDVI Americas A22K Krypto encrypted 2-door controller, or the A22K1 kit which comes with two K1 readers and DESFire EV2 credentials. Those are complete controller-and-reader packages rather than an interface to an existing panel.

Four. Each module carries two wireless devices, so eight openings is four boards, each landing on reader inputs at the panel over Wiegand or Clock and Data. Budget panel reader capacity accordingly, since the panel still sees two reader ports per module.

The PIM400-TD2 communicates to the access control panel over Wiegand or Clock and Data protocols and hosts up to two wireless access devices such as AD-400/401 Series locks, so credential handling is decided by the panel and the locks behind it. On the CDVI side, the A22K Krypto is a high security encrypted 2-door controller, and the A22K1 is an Atrium high security 2-door controller supplied with two K1 readers and DESFire EV2 credentials. Both CDVI units carry a product function of controller with reader.

Commercial, yes. It is classified as commercial electronic access control hardware, which is the duty class you want for a multi-tenant, institutional, or MRO application rather than a residential retrofit.
