Technical specifications for the Ring Alarm 5-Piece Kit indicate a dedicated 900MHz Z-Wave 700 Series mesh architecture. The base station acts as a hardened gateway, featuring an internal battery backup system compatible with 3.6V/4.2V Ni-MH equivalent standards, alongside integrated LTE cellular failover capabilities. Performance metrics for the included contact sensors specify a magnetic reed switch rated for 1,000,000 cycles, while the keypad utilizes a capacitive touch interface to eliminate mechanical fatigue points.
To maintain 99.9% signal integrity, range extenders should be positioned equidistant between the gateway and peripheral sensors, particularly in environments with high physical barrier density.
Material analysis confirms the sensors are powered by CR2032 or CR123A cells, supporting a lifecycle of approximately 3 years under standard polling conditions. While the gateway allows for the integration of third-party Z-Wave devices via the S2 Security protocol, specific firmware-level features, such as localized auditory chirps, are reserved for native hardware. Standardized testing confirms the base station siren output provides immediate localized alerting upon sensor trigger events.
If higher sensor density is required for a more complex floor plan, the Ring Alarm 8-Piece Security System with Monitoring provides additional coverage points while utilizing the same Z-Wave S2 encryption.
This device is situated within the smart security kits category, which catalogs hardware focused on centralized residential surveillance and alert logic.
