Use the console emulation mode for the following functions:
- Programming more than 10 system users.
- Programming the Pager report option for users of residential control panels (e.g., VISTA-15P/20P).
- Special Function Key operations (such as macros or single-button paging).
- End-User Scheduling.
- To check for an “Alarm Cancelled” message (on commercial panels only) if this feature has been
enabled in the system.
Wireless Range
This device complies with the Z-Wave® standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 100
feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the number of walls between the controller and the
destination device, the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the
control network.
Please Note:
Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside wireless security
sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless devices. Some 900 MHz wireless devices such as baby
cams, wireless video devices and older cordless phones may cause interference and limit Z-Wave
functionality.
Things to consider regarding RF range:
- Each wall or obstacle (such as refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote and the
destination device will reduce the maximum range of 100 feet by approximately 25-30%.
- Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden studs and
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.
WARNING: NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT!
Z
-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to, or control the On/Off status or
medical and /or life support equipment.
Controlling Devices:
The features and functions that can be controlled vary by manufacturer and you will need to review the
user manual that was provided to determine capabilities of each device.
IMPORTANT:
Honeywell is not responsible for property damages due to improper setting of the thermostat modes.
