The ZM-24 transceiver module provides bi-directional communication between two-way enabled RTI remote controls and control processors utilizing Zigbee® wireless communication. Capable of being configured in two different modes, the ZM-24 can be hard-wired directly to a control processor as the coordinator or be used as a wireless repeater device to create an ultra-reliable, self-healing “mesh” network.

 

* The ZM-24 does not directly control A/V components. It must be used in conjunction with a Zigbee® enabled processor.

Description

Utilizing the latest in wireless technology, the ZM-24 Zigbee© Transceiver Module is capable of more than just receiving signals - it can transmit signals as well. This creates a bi-directional communication link between Zigbee© enabled RTI control processors and handheld remote controls. Feedback, such as song meta-data or volume level from supported devices can now be viewed on the remote control.

The ZM-24 is easy to install, since only one module needs to be hard-wired to the control processor. This device becomes the “coordinator”, while additional “repeater” modules can be added by simply powering them from any electrical outlet within communication range of other modules. The ZM-24 units will then create a self-healing “mesh” network which adapts to changes or problems with the communication path.
