It’s Under Control

®

Thank you for using the ZM-24 Zigbee® Transceiver Module. 

The ZM-24 Transceiver Module provides bi-directional communication 

between two-way enabled RTI remote controls and control processors 

utilizing Zigbee

®

 wireless communication. Capable of being configured in 

two different modes, the ZM-24 can be hard-wired directly to a control 

processor as the coordinator or be used as a wireless repeater device to 

create an ultra-reliable, self-healing “mesh” network. 
Utilizing the latest in wireless technology, the ZM-24 Zigbee

®

 Transceiver 

Module is capable of more than just receiving signals - it can transmit 

signals as well. This creates a bi-directional communication link between 

Zigbee

®

 enabled RTI control processors and handheld remote controls. 

Feedback, such as song meta-data or volume level from supported devices 

can now be viewed on the remote control. The ZM-24 is easy to install, 

since only one module needs to be hardwired to the control processor. 

This device becomes the “coordinator,” while additional “repeater” modules 

can be added by simply powering them from any electrical outlet within 

communication range of other modules. The ZM-24 units will then create a 

self-healing “mesh” network which adapts to changes or problems with the 

communication path.
