Description:
The Z-2400 series of units support the communication of data signals via
a wireless network. The Sleeper provides a two universal input unit that
wakes up at a selected time interval, and sends its values through to the
Base. The Sleeper is a battery powered module, ideally suited for mobile
monitoring applications. It can also be used with a power plug pack.

Base, Remote & Sleeper Node Address Settings & Table:
Each ZigBee® Base + Remote is given a Node address as set by DIP Switch A. This allows the software to identify
each device. No two devices should have the same address.
Each Sleeper should also have its own address, as this is a separate node table, Sleepers can be addressed 1~32 and
Remotes can also use address 1~32 on the same Base.
Example: Setting the Z-2400-SLEEPER:
Choose Sleeper Node Address (1~32), e.g. Sleeper Node 1: DIP switch A, 1 set to ON.
Select the Sleep Time Intervals, e.g. Every 2 Minutes: DIP switch B, 2 set to ON.
Power Up Sleeper: DIP switch B, 8 set to ON.
Note: The Remote and Sleeper will not function if the address is set to zero.

Z-2400-Sleeper Analogue Input Connections:
ALWAYS program the Sleeper before connecting inputs!
Choose a node address for the Sleeper - 1~32 (can be same node number as base or remote).
Choose a sleep time for the Sleeper (1, 2, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes).
Connect the Sleeper to a PC using the XU-USB Programming Kit. Use the XU Setup software to select each Sleeper
input channel separately and program the inputs required (DIP switch B, 8 must be set to ON while connected).
Connect analogue input wires into the input terminals of Sleeper (refer to following diagrams).
Set DIP switch B, 8 to ON to power up Sleeper unit.
Check the Sleeper has made a connection (LEDs 1 & 2 should toggle for 5 seconds once a stable connection is made).
Remember to always reset (power off and on), the Sleeper after programming.
Note:
1. The two analogue inputs are not isolated from each other, and
care must be taken when connecting signals that are not isolated
from each other or ground.
2. Both analogue signals can share a common as per this example
4~20mA hookup:
3. If permanently powering the Z-2400-Sleeper, use only an isolated
power supply; i.e. isolated from ground and other devices. Do not
use this power supply to power external devices. If only a
common power supply is available, use the PSW isolating
power supply to power the Sleeper only, to maintain isolation.

Changing the Z-2400-Sleeper Battery:
1. Power off the Sleeper by putting the 8th bit of Dip Switch B to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the DIN rail clip from the rear of the Sleeper by levering the lower end with a screwdriver, while
simultaneously sliding the clip towards the centre with your other hand; removal of the red clip does not need a lot
of force, the key is to lever the screw driver in carefully. Keep the DIN rail clip in a safe place, and do not lose the
spring.
3. Use a small screwdriver to lever up the back and side clips as shown in the images below. Once all four clips
have been released, gently ease the two covers apart.
4. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, as shown.

11
5. Carefully align the top and bottom covers, and close the case. The cover will ‘snap’ on when you apply pressure –
no screwdriver leverage is necessary at this stage.
6. Put the DIN rail clip back into place. It helps to do this from below, as pictured, so that the spring does not fall out
while the clip is being positioned.
7. Power the Sleeper on again by putting the 8th bit of Dip Switch B back to the “ON” position.
Using Z-2400 Modules Within MicroScan:
Adding Sleepers:
Add the Base first. On the Base Station Map, you will see Sleeper 1~32 inputs 1 & 2, drag those over to your lines.
Inputs using RTD/TC are auto scaled. Inputs using DC signals are scaled 0~100 %, and therefore will need to be scaled
using Input Scaling settings, similar to 2100-A16 inputs. Pseudo Digital input is auto scaled and will read in a PD Input
scaled for ON when open circuit, OFF when short circuit (switch on A+B, B-B shorted).
Programming Sleeper Input ranges:
Using XU Setup Version 1.30 (or greater), connect the XU-USB to the front IP PROG connection of the Sleeper (ensure
Sleeper is powered up), start the XU Setup software and click Connect. The software will read the settings of CH1
display them and show test values. Make changes and click Program to write to the Sleeper, press CH1/CH2 to select
the channel to view – Program applied ONLY to the displayed channel.
Note: when connected to XU-USB, the LED 2 flashes once every 3 seconds, and ZigBee communications to the Base
DOES NOT take place.
To Remove the XU-USB Click Disconnect and remove USB Cable from the Sleeper. The Sleeper will automatically
reboot and join the mesh network.
Accessing Speeds:
Sleeper Inputs:
The Sleeper supplies its values to the Base via timed messages according to the Sleeper update period. No time
penalty is involved in reading Sleeper values as MicroScan simply reads the last value read from the Base. If the
Sleeper does not update values to the Base, it has a small window displaying when it last supplied the value reading.
Once the time between update readings has expired, the Sleeper values will show Error 1.
ZigBee Mesh ID:
The Mesh ID allows multiple Bases and thus networks to be used when the mesh signals will overlap. You can program
the Sleepers mesh ID via the XU Setup software.
The mesh ID is not to be confused with the node addresses as set by the DIP switches on the Base/Remotes and
Sleepers.
How to Avoid a Shorter Sleeper Battery Life Span:
 Do Not leave the Sleeper connected to XU-USB for long periods of time.
 Do Not leave the Sleeper turned ON while the node address, and or sleep time are not Selected.
Note: The Sleeper will not function if either the address is set to zero, or the sleep time has not been selected.
These scenarios will flatten the Sleeper battery very quickly.

Antenna Options for Z-2400 Wireless Series:
Troubleshooting:
If the LEDs toggle on sleeper start-up, the Sleeper has found the base (LEDs flash alternately).
If the base does not show that the Sleeper has been connected, check the sleeper node address is unique and that
there is not another Sleeper with the same DIP Switch A settings.
If the Sleeper does not toggle on start-up (LEDS flash at the same time):
1. The Sleeper cannot connect due to low signal.
2. The incorrect mesh ID has been set on the Sleeper.
If you receive faulty readings from the Sleeper inputs:
1. Check that the inputs are programed correctly using the XU-USB setup software.
2. Use a calibrator or field tester to check the fidelity of the sensor.
3. Check that there is not another Sleeper set to the same Node Address, Dip Switch A settings.
Press the Reset button on the front of the Sleeper with a screwdriver to make the Sleeper start its start-up sequence
again.
Considerations & Limitations for Z-2400 Network Systems:
The ZigBee system does not offer 100% connectivity as losses due to radio signals being used do occur.
Due to the mesh network nature connection, the Remotes can connect to the Base via different network paths, i.e. if
more than one Remote is used, instead of Remotes connecting directly to the Base, they may connect to other Remotes
which then connect to the Base. Thus the network formation is not predictable. If one of the Remotes that happens to be
forwarding messages for another Remotes powers down, it may take a minute or two for the remaining Remotes to
regain access to the Base.
For more information on wireless antenna options and distances, see the ‘Z-2400 Series Extended‘ brochure.
