WIRELESS RANGE

This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight

transmission distances of 100 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. 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 and the destination device will reduce the maximum range of

100 feet 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.

Note: The distances shown in the table below are typical examples.

Actual performance in your home will vary.
