Wireless Range

This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-

air, line of sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual

performance in a home depends on the number of walls

between the remote controller and the destination device,

the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled

devices installed in the control network.

Ge Z-Wave Network

Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and

multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes

which helps eliminate “RF dead-spots”.

Things to consider regarding RF range:

- Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.)

between the remote or a Z-Wave device and the destination

device will reduce the maximum range by approximately

25-30%.

- Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than

walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall).

- Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction

boxes will suffer a signiﬁcant loss of range (approximately

20%) since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF signal.
