ZME E|A|U|X UZB1
USB Z-Wave Transceiver
Version 5.2
This USB Stick connects a PC or any other computing platform with USB interface to a wireless Z-Wave network. A controller software compatible to the Sigma Designs Serial API is required to use the functions of the device. This software plus this UZB realize a static controller to manage and use Z-Wave devices of various vendors. This stick works with all certified Z-Wave devices regardless of its vendor or date of origin. The Sigma Designs Serial API specification is available to all owners of a Sigma Designs Z-Wave SDK.
The device implements a virtual serial interface used by the Z-Wave application. Linux and Mac OSX have a built-in device driver for the stick and will create a new device named like /dev/cu.usbmodemfa131 (OSX) or /dev/ttyACM0 (Linux). Windows enumerates a new COM device but may require a device driver uzb.inf available at www.z-wave.me.
Frequency Adaptation
This Z-Wave transceiver can be used in multiple areas of the world and adapted to the local Z-Wave frequency just using the Z-Wave.Me frequency changing script or the Z-Wave Experts UI on top of Z-Wave.Me's Controller software Z-Way. The SKU code determines what frequencies the stick will operate on. It is safe to switch to other frequencies of the same hardware group, but be aware that a wrong frequency will result in malfunctions when communicating with other devices. Changing to a frequency outside the own hardware group (e.g., turn ZMEEUZB into USA frequency) will still work but severely degrade the radio signal and result in extreme short wireless range only. The hardware with SKU code ZMEXUZB can be turned into every frequency.

Software Usage and Configuration
Software can be downloaded from www.zwave.me. To change the frequency using a script, use the command: # changezwf.sh [COM Port] [US|EU|ANZ|...], where [COM Port] is the serial port. Refer to the frequency table for your local setting.
If Z-Way is installed, select the Z-Wave experts UI, navigate to Network -> Control, and click the frequency button.
The antenna characteristics show a mostly circular radiation field. However, placing the device near a notebook or other heavy device may partially degrade the signal. Using a USB extender cable of at least 10 cm is recommended for optimal radio experience.

Compliance and Notes
[CE Mark] [RoHS Mark] [FCC Mark]
FCC - ID: 2AAYU
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio & television reception.
