How do I differentiate between a Z38 and a Z38i?

The panel serigraphy indicates us if the panel is a Z38 or a Z38i.

Moreover we can check the serial number, since the panels from serial number 10AAD are Z38i, or the product code.

Could the Clima pages be linked to Home page in the Z38i, as we did with Z38?

In the Z38i, the parameter “Linked to” used to link the Home Boxes to specific boxes in Clima pages has disappeared. However, Home boxes can be linked to boxes in specific pages linking the corresponding communication objects by means of group addresses.

Why have the internal links been removed?

The management of the new controller demands more memory resources. As the communication between objects of the same device is now allowed, the internal links are not needed anymore and we can have the necessary memory for the controller management.

We have enough stock for covering possible repairs during a long period of time.
