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%. 

 

 

 
MAINTENANCE 

 

1

temperatures or mechanical shocks. 

2

4

purchased from another country? 

A  Due to different countries regulations Z-Wave products from 

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