Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why won't my ZTS-500 work with the Z-Wave devices purchased in another country?
A Due to differing regulations in different countries, Z-Wave products from different regions are
set to different frequencies. Before purchasing new devices, be sure to check if the devices are
compatible in your region.
Q Do I need an electrician to install a ZTS-500 in my home?
A It is strongly recommended that a qualified technician install this product.
Q How do I know which product is compatible with my ZTS-500?
A The ZTS-500 is compatible with any Z-Wave controller or gateway that has the control capability
for "Thermostat" devices. All Z-Wave products are also labelled with the Z-Wave logos shown
below.
Q Can I use 2 or more ZTS-500 in my house? If so, what is the max. units?
A Yes, you can use multiple ZTS-500s in a single home. The maximum number of units depends on
the capabilities of the gateways and controllers. For example, different gateways can support up
to 8, 16, or 32 ZTS-500 on a given network.
Q What is the recommended battery type for the ZTS-500 and what is estimated batteries service
life?
A Alkaline batteries are recommended for the ZTS-500.
Batteries service life is very dependent on the amount of usage per day. With normal use,
approximate battery service life is 1 year while operated in FLiRS mode.
If you are using battery power as the main power source or as a back-up while AC power is down
and the ZTS-500 is in Z-Wave Always Listening mode, the battery will drain very fast (battery will
only survive 3-5 days).
