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 house 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.
Q A What can the Remotec ZRC-100 do for me? A single Z-Wave network can include 232 nodes. If necessary, more than one network can be bridged to extend the number of nodes further, although this is normally not needed in a residential environment. The total number of controllable End-point (EP) / device / sensor is 128 items which is listed on the “Device” and “Sensor” page. ZRC-100 also supports 6 thermostats which are listed on the “Comfort” page.
Q A Can I include all Z-Wave devices from the network by ZRC100 and no need to click the PROG button for each device? Yes! ZRC-100 provides a useful function which is “Re-scan Devices” that allows rediscovering all Z-Wave devices from the network. Please refer to user manual with below steps: i) Assume all Z-Wave devices have been added by gateway. ii) ZRC-100 should act as a secondary controller [step of B11.1]. iii) Execute the “Re-scan Devices” function [step of C3].
