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.
