It’s Under Control® Chapter 1 | Welcome Thank you for using the RTI ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module. Utilizing the latest in wireless technology, the RTI ZM-24 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.
ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module product contents Contents within the box include the following items: One (1) RTI ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module One (1) ZM-24 mounting bracket Two (2) 6 - 32 x 3 inch flathead mounting screws One (1) 1/2-wave antenna One (1) 6 ft. (2m) CAT5 cable with RJ45 ends One (1) operation manual One (1) power supply, 12V 1A UNPACKING AND INSPECTION After unpacking your new RTI ZM-24 2.
It’s Under Control® Chapter 2 | Features The ZM-24 provides superior quality and reliability as well as these specific features: Enables bi-directional communication between ZigBee® enabled RTI remote controls and processors. Wireless ZigBee® communication range between compatible devices up to 100 feet (30m). Connects to an RTI control processor from up to 1000 feet (300m) away using standard Cat5 cable.

It’s Under Control® 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”.
ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module connection options Wiring between the ZM-24 and a ZigBee® enabled RTI control processor should be cat5 cable with an RJ-45 termination (568B). Plug the cable into the RTI COM port on the control processor and the ZM-24 up to 1000 feet (300m) away. Additional ZM-24 modules may be used in “repeater” mode to extend wireless coverage.
It’s Under Control® connection options - continued Installations with more than one processor must have ZM-24 modules plugged into each processor. As long as the ZM-24 modules are within communication range of each other, a wireless mesh network will be established. Additional ZM-24 modules may be used in “repeater” mode to extend wireless coverage.
ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module programming The ZM-24 connected to an RTI control processor will become the “coordinator” module and no additional programming is required. Additional ZM-24 modules may be used in “repeater” mode, creating a self-healing mesh network to extend wireless coverage. ZM-24 modules used in “repeater” mode must be programmed using a ZB-Pro Professional 2.4GHz Network Management Tool. Programming a ZM-24 for “repeater” mode: Plug in and attach the ZM-24 power supply.
It’s Under Control® Chapter 4 | Specifications Power RTI Com Port +9VDC to +16VDC, 60mA Two-way ZigBee® Communication Port, RJ45 Connection, drives up to 1000 ft (300 m) of wire Wireless Networking IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee® Wireless Mesh Networking) RF Frequency Range 2.
