1.0 Important Information
Safety remark:
Caution! – Incorrect handling of the batteries and storage batteries used in this product can result in the risk of fire or burns. Do not charge, open or burn these batteries or heat them to more than 100 °C (212 °F).
Installation of a SimonsVoss RF Lock requires knowledge in the areas of door mechanics, door certifications, installation of electronics and the use of the SimonsVoss software. For this reason, only trained and authorized personnel should install the unit.
Compliance Statement (Part 15.19)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Warning (Part 15.21)
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b))
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Industry Canada Statement per Section 4.0 of RSP-100
The term "IC:" before the certification / registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Section 7.1.5 of RSS-GEN
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
SimonsVoss Technologies Inc. will not accept any liability for damages caused by incorrect installation.

2.0 Introduction
In this document, the components of the System 3060 (RF Locks, Smart Relays, block locks) are commonly referred to as locks or doors. Unless stated otherwise, the descriptions also apply to all the other components of the System 3060.
For customers with only a few doors and a building which is not too large, the best way to program the System 3060 is with a laptop and a SmartCD programming tool, especially if the configuration of the locks seldom needs to be changed.
With medium to large facilities in which lost keys, new transponder allocations and organizational changes are more frequent, it makes sense to manage and maintain the locking system by means of a network. Even in this case not all the doors need to be networked and the system can also be configured for mixed operation with some doors connected to the network and some off-line.
In a networked system, all of the maintenance and programming functions can be conducted from a host computer, where it is also possible to obtain an overview of the current status of the entire network. For example, locks and door status can be requested centrally. Transactions such as door open, door closed, door locked, battery warning, access list, break-in alarm can be tracked and acted on. This enables you to respond to events directly from the central control room.
WaveNet Radio Network 3065
WaveNet is an easily installable ‘Plug-and-Play’ network for use in building automation. Because it is wireless, it is especially suitable for the online management and control of the SimonsVoss 3060 digital locking and organization system. It can be used in new and existing buildings..
The transmission of data within a WaveNet network is largely independent of the transmission medium. For instance, data can be transmitted via RS232 interfaces, RS485 ports, TCP/IP, or by radio (915 MHz).
3.0 Transmission media
WaveNet supports the following media for the transmission of data inside the system:
Internet and Intranet via TCP/IP for transmitting data between different computers within a network.
RS232, for data transmission between a computer and the WaveNet Central Node (cable length maximum 50 ft.).
RS485 bus wiring for connecting individual WaveNet Routers functioning as network backbones (cable type CAT5, shielded, cable length maximum 2,000 ft.).
915 MHz radio (radio range approx. 150 ft. depending on building structure).
B-field 25 kHz (radio range approx. 18 inches), for transmitting data between
the WaveNet Lock Node and a SimonsVoss RF lock (cylindrical, mortise, SmartRelay, and furniture locks).

4.0 Usable radio wavelengths
Under the provisions of the United States Communications Act of 1934, as revised, authority for managing the use within the United States of the radio frequency spectrum is partitioned between the NTIA and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Therefore, to establish which radio services will be allowed to operate in the United States in a given frequency band requires that radio frequency spectrum management policies by established by both the NIA and the FCC. These bodies have declared the radio spectrum at 915 MHz ±13 MHz (902MHz to 928MHz) is designated for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) applications. ISM equipment operating in these bands includes wireless phones, line-of-site radio devices, and various office communications products.
The WaveNet network operates on a single frequency but that frequency may be adjusted with in the allowed 26 MHz band at the factory if needed to accommodate specific interference issues at a site.

5.0 What are the factors to be aware of?
Regardless of the method, radio transmission is subject to a range of outside factors which can impede it or interfere with it. Equipment characteristics can also influence the range.

Frequency
Structural surroundings (walls, ceilings, gardens)
Transmission range can also be limited by obstacles. The following table provides some guidelines:
Material Energy transmittance
Wood, plaster, plasterboard 90–100 %
Brick, particle board 65–95 %
Reinforced concrete (transmitter on metal) 10–70 %
Metal, metal mesh, aluminum cladding, in-floor heating 0–10 %
6.0 Secure message transmission
The transmission security of a message by radio in the WaveNet depends upon:
Radio transmission security in the sense of data management.
Potential disturbances along the transmission route.
Intentional interference such as manipulation or sabotage of the transmission
route.
Intelligent methods of avoiding interference and finding alternative routes.
The speed of data transmission and message transfer can be influenced by a range of factors, and these can also cause a certain proportion of the messages to be lost.
These factors can include:
¾ High data traffic levels within the WaveNet.
¾ External interference in the WaveNet radio bandwidth.
¾ Power failure in segments of the WaveNet or the Central Node.
¾ Transmission failure or transmission interference in an external network..
7.0 WaveNet System 3065 Network components
WaveNet network components all have two independent ports. This enables two different network segments to be connected together through a WaveNet network component.
