Wireless Information

Wireless range:

This device has an open-air line-of-sight transmission distance of 40m, which is compliant with Z-Wave Plus standards. Performance can be vary depending on the type of obstacles, such as walls and furniture, between the Z-Wave devices. Every Z-Wave device set up in your network will act as a signal repeater, allowing them to talk to each other and to find alternate routes in the case of reception dead spots caused by these obstacles. Radio frequency limitations:

1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the maximum range by up to 20 to 30%. Plasterboard and wooden walls will have less effect on the signal than concrete, brick, or tile.
2. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer a loss of range if they are housed in metal junction boxes, which could reduce the range by up to 20 to 30%.

Maintenance

1. Do not expose your unit to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or mechanical shocks.
2. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit.
3. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. 4. Do not disassemble your unit; it contains no user-serviceable parts.
