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 network 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 if
they are housed in metal junction boxes which could also reduce
the range by up to 25 to 30%.
