Setup 4. Setup Attaching the WZE-3 to the ZMU-3 Selecting the radio channel Plug the WZE-3 onto the ZMU-3 and secure the connection using the ZMU-3 bracket D photo. The radio modem in the WZE-3 utilises a specific scheme of constantly changing frequencies, making the connection between the different radio units very robust against interference.
Due to local telecommunications regulations, only certain channels are allowed in some countries. The WZE-3 must be used in odd numbered channels in France. In all other countries, radio channels from 0-7 may be programmed if there are no local telecommunication restrictions for the 2.4 GHz ISM-band. • Set the desired channel with the rotary selection knob D photo on the WZE-3.
