Important Notes About Z-Wave Devices

WARNING: NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT!
Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to, or control the On/Off
status of medical and/or life support equipment.
Wireless Range
This device complies with the Z-Wave
distances of 328 feet (100 meters). Actual performance in a home depends on the number of
walls between the Gateway and the destination device, the type of construction and the
number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network.
Note that Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside wireless
security sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless devices. Some 900MHz wireless devices
such as baby cams, wireless video devices and older cordless phones may cause interference
and limit Z-Wave functionality.
Things to consider regarding RF range:
• Each wall or obstacle (refrigerators, large TVs, etc.) between the remote and the destination
device can reduce the maximum range of 100 feet (30 meters) by approximately 25-30%.
• Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden
studs and drywall.
• Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes suffer a significant loss of
range (approximately 20%) since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF signal.
Additional Z-Wave Information
• Gateway can control up to 72 Z-Wave devices.
• The system supports a maximum of 232 nodes. Note that a node is created every time
a device is Included, even if the device is being re-added to the system after being
Excluded. This can cause the number of nodes in the system to exceed the number of
actual devices.
• If the limit of 232 nodes is met and you need to add or re-Include more Z-Wave
devices, use the Factory Default Controller function. Be aware that defaulting the
controller deletes all of the system's nodes, requiring all devices to be Included again.
Node numbers can be viewed by selecting Automation > Tools > Advanced Tools >
View Enrolled Devices. Remember that the system may require the Master User code
for access to Advanced Tools.
• The system is not aware of door locks being enabled with any temporary user
shutdown feature such as Vacation Mode. The system continues to unlock a door if
programmed to do so via Smart Scenes.
• Z-Wave door locks with thumbturns: Certain models allow a brief period in which the
thumbturn can be operated manually before the device locks automatically. Locks of
this type are not recommended for use with Smart Scenes.
Z-Wave Compatibility
Z-Wave devices vary; follow the instructions provided with the specific device when including
and excluding devices into your Z-Wave network.
NOTE: Not all Z-Wave devices have been tested. Some functions may produce
unpredictable results.
