GE 45608 manual Wireless Range, Things to consider regarding RF range

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. Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes which help 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 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.

Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside 802.11 wireless computer networks, Bluetooth and other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video devices and older cordless phones using the 900MHz fre- quency range may cause interference and limit Z-Wave function- ality. Many 900MHz products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that one of these channels will cause less interference than the other.
