Planning instructions

NOTE
Planning and application instructions for the system are available in system
manual for ABB-free@home
www.abb.com/freeathome.
Note
Transmitter and receiver communicate via radio control. The transmission range
depends on the structural conditions. Walls and ceilings, especially steel
reinforcements or metal claddings, reduce the transmission range. The distance
of components to other transmitters that also emit high-frequency signals (e.g.
computers, audio and video systems) should be at least 1 m.
5.2

Radio range

To minimize the consumption of power, battery-operated free@home wireless devices do not
act as repeaters. This means that different to free@home wireless devices that are supplied
with mains voltage, a command that is received is not transmitted.
That is why during the installation it should be ensured that at least one free@home wireless
device that is supplied with mains power is located within the range of the battery-operated
device.
