CHAPTER 1 | WELCOME
Thank you for using the ZM-24 Zigbee® Transceiver Module.
The ZM-24 Transceiver Module provides bi-directional communication
between two-way enabled RTI remote controls and control processors
utilizing Zigbee
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.
Utilizing the latest in wireless technology, the ZM-24 Zigbee
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 hardwired 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Please read these important notes about the ZM-24:
The ZM-24 should be placed in an area where it is around normal
room temperature (between 60°F to 90°F).
Avoid installing the ZM-24 in a location where it can come in contact
with direct sunlight.
Do not let the ZM-24 get wet. It should not be handled with wet hands
or placed in an area where it could get wet.
Do not subject the ZM-24 to smoke, dust, or vibrations.
Do not disassemble the unit. Service of the ZM-24 should be
performed by authorized personnel only.
Contents within the box include the following items:
One (1) ZM-24 Radio Frequency Receiver Module.
One (1) 1/2-wave whip antenna.
One (1) 10 ft. (3m) hook-up wire.
One (1) operation manual.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
®
After unpacking your new ZM-24 Zigbee
Transceiver Module, save all of
the packing materials in case you ever have to ship the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the ZM-24 and packing materials for signs of damage.

CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MOUNTING
The ZM-24 can be mounted on a shelf, wall, or cabinet. See below for
recommended positioning. For the best reception connect two or more
ZM-24 units together. This will help eliminate RF reception drop-out due to
multi-path interference.

CHAPTER 5 | TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are having problems with your ZM-24 Transceiver Module, please
read the information below before contacting technical support.
If you continue to have problems, see Chapter 7 for more information on
contacting RTI technical support.
The Data LED is constantly ashing red.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem that will effect
performance. If it does, move the ZM-24 to a different area.
The Data LED never turns green.
Make sure the ZM-24 is wired correctly to the central control system,
and verify the control system is powered-up.
Make sure the RTI universal system controller is programmed to
output RF data.
The Data LED turns green when it receives a command, but the
control system does not respond.
If there is also an infrared repeater connected to the control system,
make sure it is not injecting noise onto the signal line.
Make sure the programming in the central control system matches the
universal system controller.
