Hints & Tips
• When using your ZEB Revo RT in an environment where there are many Wi-Fi networks, you may experience
problems with the connection. Under these circumstances we recommend using the Ethernet cable provided for the
duration of the scan.
• You can connect to the ZEB Revo RT with multiple devices using the I address, although this will slow down the
viewer if there are several devices connected.
• Data capture is not interrupted if there are no devices connected (for example, if the battery of a device runs out).
• We recommend using Google Chrome to view the real time visualization.
