1. GENERAL INFORMATION ON “Z-WAVE”:
INTERACT³ is a radio system that is based on Z-WAVE
technology. INTERACT³ off ers a varied range of advanta-
ges in comparison to other radio systems:
Safe:
Generally, radio systems build a direct link between the trans-
mitter and the receiver. The radio signal is attenuated by every
obstacle along its path (in the household e.g. wall, furniture
etc.), in the worst case the radio system ceases to function. The
advantage of the intelligent INTERACT³ system is the so- called
routing function: All devices of INTERACT³ not only act as the
transmitter or the receiver but also simultaneously as the “re-
peater”. Should a direct radio link between the transmitter and
the receiver not be possible, communication will be established
with the assistance of other devices.
Communicative:
INTERACT³ is a bidirectional radio system. This means that a
signal is not just sent but also a feedback confi rming the recep-
tion of the signal occurs automatically. The safety of transmission
of the INTERACT³ radio bus technology is comparable with that
of a wire-linked bus system. It is likewise possible to determine
the switching status by pushing a button: Has the cellar light been
defi nitely switched off ?
Trouble-free:
INTERACT³ transmits at a regulated frequency band with a fre-
quency of 868 MHz. Every INTERACT³ network has its own
unique network identifi cation. Therefore, it is possible to operate
two or more independently-operating networks in a room or home
without any interferences. Troubles that can be caused by other
devices, as is the case in open, non-regulated frequencies
(e.g. 433 MHz) are excluded.
