5 General information
about radio operation
Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive
transmission path, which means that there is a pos-
sibility of interference occurring .
Interference can also be caused by switching opera-
tions, electrical motors or defective electrical devices .
The range of transmission within buildings can
differ greatly from that available in the open air .
Besides the transmitting power and the recep-
tion characteristics of the receiver, environmen-
tal factors such as humidity in the vicinity have
an important role to play, as do on-site structur-
al/screening conditions .
If „secure transmission“ (AES) is activated for
the switch-actuators, this implies:
•
increased communication volume,
•
actuator groups are unable to execute commands
simultaneously .
For further information about secure transmission
(AES) please refer to the HomeMatic WebUI manual,
available for download at www .homematic .com .
