1. Introduction
Netvox Z311G, a ZigBee light sensor, acts as an End Device in ZigBee network. It does not perform permit-join
function as a coordinator or a router for other devices to join the network. Z311G detects and reports the
surrounding light level periodically to the ZigBee network for automation controlling applications. Z311G’s
operating temperature is -10℃~50℃. It is suitable to be installed at the location which users have difficulty to stay
for a long time such as walk-in cooler, so that people could monitor the light level in these places easier.
What is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a short range wireless transmission technology based on IEEE802.15.4 standard and supports multiple
network topologies such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh networks. It is defined for a
general-purpose, cost-effective, low-power-consumption, low-data-rate, and easy-to-install wireless solution for
industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, building automation
and home automation, etc.

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.

5-4. Wake up Z311G
When users would like to setup or acquire data from the device which is in sleeping mode, we have to wake
up the device as the following steps:
Step1. Press and hold both Binding Key and Auxiliary Key.
Step2. Until the indicator flashes red twice, release both buttons.
Step3. The indicator will flash 5 times while broadcasting.
5-5. Battery
When the operating voltage is lower than 2.1V, the indicator will flash red once per hour. Z311G will send a
low-power report to the ZigBee network.
5-6. Change the Light Source Mode
Users could change the Light Source Mode via ZiG-BUTLER to enhance the light sensing accuracy. It
includes:
1. Natural Light
2. Energy Saving Lamp
3. Filament Lamp
4. User-defined
5-7. Calibration
Users could change the calibration setting via ZiG-BUTLER while the default Light Source Mode does not
suit your needs.
5-8. Light Level Report
Z311G detects the light level every 5 minutes by default after binding. To assign the reporting conditions,
users can modify the settings via netvox ZigBee application ZiG-BUTLER (please refer to Chapter 7).
5-9. Restore to Factory Setting
To restore it to factory setting, please follow the steps:
Step1. Press and hold both Binding Key and Auxiliary Key for 5 seconds.

7
Step2. Release the button after the indicator shows fast red flashes.
Step3. The indicator will flash red 20 times, and the restore is completed.
5-10. Report Configuration
10 seconds after powering on, Z311B will detect battery voltage, if the device report has been previously
configured, it will issue 1 or 2 reports within 1-60 seconds randomly on the device, and thereafter it will report
according to the configuration.
If the device was already bound related report clusterID to report according to configuration, it would issue a
corresponding report (Max! = 0xFFFF) immediately after completed configuration.
Battery voltage report Default: min = 3600s, max = 3600s, reportchange = 0.1,
Battery status report Default: min = 3600s, max = 0xFFFF (off), reportchange = 0.

Reportable Change=0.
Otherwise, ZB311B will report very densely (every second) to block up the network.
(2) Different attributes have different units, please refer to the product specific
instructions for units of reportable change.
