WIRELESS INFORMATION
Wireless range:
This device has an open air line of sight transmission distance of 100
feet which complies with the Z‐Wave standards. Performance can vary
depending on the amount of objects in between Z‐Wave devices such
as walls and furniture. Every Z‐Wave device set up in your house will
act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find
alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can
reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less of the radio signal then
concrete, brick or tile walls which will have more of an effect on
signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z‐Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range as
they are housed in metal junction boxes which could reduce the
range by up to 25 to 30%.

5 Do not disassemble your remote controller, it contains no user‐
serviceable parts.

different regions are set to different frequencies. Before
purchasing new devices make sure you have checked that the
device is compatible in your region.

attach the Z‐Wave plug in module into the wall socket. For more
advanced in‐wall modules you may need this done by a qualified
