1028 total End Devices. For large networks the Omega Dashboard web server software can be used to allow the monitoring of devices connected to different receivers from a single webpage.
DIP Switches Figure 2.2 – ZW-ED DIP Switch Detail The ZW-ED has two banks of DIP switched located near the battery holder, inside of the unit, for easy configuration. Figure 2.2 shows a close up view of the switches. To change the DIP switches, use a tweezer or small screwdriver to gently push the switch.
Setting the Device ID: The set of 8 switches, labeled Device ID in Figure 2.2, set the Device ID. The Device ID (or DID) uniquely identifies each ZW-ED to its Receiver. If there are multiple End Devices connected to a Receiver each one must have a unique DID. The ZW -ED supports Device IDs 0 to 127.

Power Button The Power Button is located on the top of the ZW -ED. (See Figure 2.1.) It allows for rebooting and shutting down the ZW-ED. You may need to reboot the ZW-ED to have it rejoin the network, if your Network ID, Device ID, Receiver, or Probe has changed, or if a different RF Frequency is selected.
Before powering up the ZW-ED ensure the supplied antenna is properly installed. Running the ZW-ED without an antenna, or with an unapproved antenna, may cause damage to the device and/or cause operation outside of regulatory compliance. Omega Engineering accepts no liability and issues no warranty for devices operated improperly.

Powering the Unit Once the NID and DID are set and the Antenna and Probe are installed the ZW -ED may be powered on. The ZW-ED is powered using low cost Alkaline C cell batteries, the external M8 connector or both. The ZW-ED automatically switches from the internal batteries to the external power if available.
Insert a new battery taking note of the proper orientation as shown in Figure 3.3. The positive battery terminal contacts the large terminal and faces towards the top of the ZW-ED. Line Power The ZW-ED may also be powered using line power. The Power Connector can accept 5V to 36V and 24V...

APPENDIX A: RF Topics This section discusses some topics to ensure the best RF coverage range. RF Channel Selection The 802.15.4 wireless standard uses 16 RF channels numbered 11 through 26. Each channel has a bandwidth of 2MHz and channels are separated by 5MHz. When a ZW-ED is powered on it automatically searches for a Receiver with the same Network ID by scanning each RF channel.
Signal Strength vs Received Power -110 -100 Power [dBm] Figure A.2 – Received Power Chart Maximizing Range Under favorable conditions the ZW-ED can achieve a, line of sight, wireless link distance of up to 1000m. Generally, most indoor applications will not be able to achieve these distances, although steps can be taken to maximize range.
APPENDIX B: Wireless Certifications Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement To comply with FCC radio frequencies (RF) exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located at a minimum 7.9" (200mm) or more from the body of all persons. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
APPENDIX C: SAFETY & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Safety: EN 61010-1 3 Edition EMC: EN 61326-1:2013 Radio: EN 300 328 V1.8.1:2012-04 The product herewith complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, and the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, and carries the CE -marking accordingly.
