5. Setting up Z311G
5-1. Turn On/ Turn Off Z311G
Under the circumstances Z311G is first time used or after resetting, when it is powered on and cannot
successfully search a network, Z311G will go into turn-off mode.
To manually turn on or turn off Z311G, please use the following instructions:
A. Turn it on: Press the Binding Key once. The indicators will flash red once, and the device is ready to
be used.
B. Turn it off: Press the Binding Key. The indicator will flash 10 times within 5 seconds. Press the
Binding Key again within the 10 flashes to turn the device off.
5-2. Join the ZigBee Network
After Z311G is turned on, it will search for an existing ZigBee network and send a request to join the network
automatically. While Z311G is under the coverage from a coordinator or a router whose permit-join feature is
enabled, Z311G will be permitted to join the network.
Step1. Enable the permit-join function (valid for 60 seconds) of a coordinator or a router (please refer to
the user manual of the coordinator or the router to enable the permit-join feature).
Step2. Turn on Z311G. It will start to search and join the network.
Step3. The indicator will flash green once when it finds out a network to join.
Step4. The indicator will flash green 5 times after it is joined successfully. Otherwise, the indicator will
not flash.
5-3. Sleeping Mode
Z311G is designed to go into sleeping mode for power-saving in some situations:
A. While the device is in the network → the sleeping period is 5 minutes; it will wake up every 5
minutes to keep online.
B. When it doesn’t find a network to join → Z311G will go to sleeping mode. It will wake up every 15
minutes to search a network to join.
C. Once Z311G was joined to a network and by any chance the network is no longer existed or the
device is out of the network → Z311G will wake up every 15 minutes to find the network it joined
before.
It never keeps in sleeping mode and continues to find out a network every 15 minutes. This condition would
consume up to 30 times power spending compared to normal-operating status. To prevent this unwanted power
consumption, we recommend that users remove the batteries to power off the device.
