3.  Ensure that the minimum distance between any Viconics node and any Wi-Fi devices (wireless routers, 
wireless adapters, lap-tops using wireless networks, etc….) to be at least 3 feet (1 M) and preferably 10 
feet (3 M) or more.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  Ensure that at least one thermostat is within 30 feet of the coordinator (VZ76xx for (SA) or VWG and 

Jace-Driver for (NS)) for every cluster of 10 VZ72xx zone thermostats installed. 

5.  When possible, always try to locate the coordinator (VZ76xx for (SA) or VWG and Jace-driver for (NS)) 

near the center of all associated VZ72xx zone thermostats installed. 

6.  Always try to locate the coordinator (VZ76xx for (SA) or VWG and Jace-driver for (NS)) near or in the 

line of sight to as many wireless thermostats as possible. 

7.  Try to avoid metal, brick walls or concrete obstructions between wireless devices when possible. 

8.  For a 30 wireless thermostats installation. A minimum of three of them should be within 30 feet or 9 

Meters of the coordinator (VZ76xx for (SA) or VWG and Jace-Driver for (NS)) range. 

 

 

 

Minimum 3 feet (1 M)

Wi-Fi equipment and 

Viconics wireless 

devices
