Wireless Range
This device complies with the Z-Wave® standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 100 feet. Actual performance
in a home depends on the number of walls between the controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the
number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network.
Please Note:
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 (such as refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote and the destination device will
reduce the maximum range of 100 feet 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 will suffer a significant loss of range (approximately 20%)
since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF signal.
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 or medical and /or life support
equipment.
Additional Z-Wave Information
1.
Once the system has reached node number 232, the system will not allow devices to be enrolled. Reset Controller needs to
be performed to allow the system to enroll Z-wave devices. The node numbers can be viewed by selecting Automation
Tools Advanced Tools View Enrolled Devices.
2.
The system is not aware of door locks being enabled with any temporary user shutdown feature such as Vacation Mode. The
system will continue to unlock a door if programmed to do so via Rules, Schedules and Scenes.
3.
Certain door lock models with thumbturns will provide a brief time window for you to turn the thumbturn before they
automatically lock on their own. These types of door locks are not recommended for use in conjunction with Z-Wave rules,
schedules, and scenes.
