Interoperability with Z-Wave Devices:
Every Z-Wave certified device is designed to work with all other Z-Wave certified devices. The
Z-Wave network can integrate devices of various classes, and these devices can be made by
different manufacturers. The AX140 is a dedicated controller; since it uses the Basic
Command Class, it can provide limited control of other Z-Wave devices using this command
class.
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 between Z-
Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every installed Z-Wave device will act as a signal
repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and will find alternate routes/paths, in the case
of a reception dead spot.
Radio frequency limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the maximum
range of 65 feet by up to 25 to 30%.
