CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MOUNTING AND LOCATION
The ZM-24 can be mounted on a shelf, wall, or cabinet. See below for
recommended positioning. To extend the coverage area, additional ZM-24
modules may be installed 50-100 feet (15-30m) away from another
ZM-24 module.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
The power supply that comes with the ZM-24 should only be used
to power the ZM-24 when it is being used as a “repeater”. Do not
plug the power supply into a ZM-24 that is wired directly to a control
processor.
Every control processor must have a ZM-24 module plugged into it to
enable communication.
No Ethernet networking components (routers, hubs, switches) should
be used for extending wiring from control processor to ZM-24.
ZM-24 modules should be placed at least 3 feet (1m) from electronic
components and at least 8 feet (2.5m) from 2.4GHz wireless access
points or cordless phone systems.
If additional ZM-24 modules are used to extend range, a slow down in
network performance may occur.
