1. Introduction
Z831 as a wireless switch device based on ZigBee protocol, it can communicates with routers,
coordinator, and end devices in the network. There are 3 relay output modules with each device type
allowing users to remote control the switch. Z831 is also a router device which permits other devices
to join the network.

4-2. Join Zigbee network
(1) Power on Z831, it will start to search network automatically.
(2) If there are routers or coordinators on the same channel, available to connect; Z831 will join automatically.
(3) Networking indicator flash: connection fails.
(4) Networking indicator stays on: connection completes.

Model: Z831
6
4-3. Permit join
Z831 as a router allows other devices to join the network:
(1) Short press the binding key once.
(2) Status indicator will flash which means allowing other devices to join network through Z831.
(3) After status indicator flashes 60 times within 60s, permit join function will shut off automatically and the
indicator stops flashing.
4-4. Binding
Z831 can bind with On/Off (0x0006) Cluster ID of users’ devices; users can remote control on/off devices via Z831.
Binding steps as shown below:
(1) Available to bind devices with on/off functions such as Z501, Z503, ZB02C...etc.
(2) Long press binding key for 3 seconds; the status indicator will flash once.
(3) Release binding key and short press it for N times in order to bind the Nth channel; each short press
corresponds to a flash of status indicator.
(4) For example, to bind 1st channel with other devices. Press binding key for 3 seconds; status indicator will flash
once. Release binding key and short press it once and see a flash within 5 seconds. Z831 will send binding request
to devices. Operate other devices to send binding inquiry as well to bind with Z831.
(5) Status indicator will flash 5 times and then shut off when binding completes. .
(6) Status indicator will flash 10 times and then shut off when binding fails.
4-5. Working procedure on individual mode
The status and network indicators will flash alternately while more than one mode switch are on. Please turn off all
mode switches and restart Z831 again.
(A) Operation mode 1 (High power motor mode)
(1）Default mode: 0002 attribute is 0x00 under shade mode：
①Receive “on” signal, relay 2 off, relay 3 on.
②Receive “off” signal, relay 3 off, relay 2 on.
③Receive “stop” signal, relay 2 off, relay 3 off.
(2）Reverse mode: 0002 attribute is 0x08 under shade mode：
①Receive “on” signal, relay 3 off, relay 2 on.
②Receive“off” signal, relay 2 off, relay 3 on.
③Receive “stop” signal, relay 2 off, relay 3 off.
(B) Operation mode 2 (Low power motor mode)
(1）Default mode: 0002 attribute is 0x00 under shade mode：
①Receive “on” signal, relay 2 on, off in 500ms.

Model: Z831
7
②Receive “off” signal, relay 3 on, off in 500ms.
③Receive “stop” signal, relay 1 on, off in 500ms.
(2）Reverse mode: 0002 attribute is 0x08 under shade mode：
①Receive “on” signal, relay 3 on, off in 500ms.
②Receive “off” signal, relay 2 on, off in 500ms.
③Receive “stop” signal, relay 1 on, off in 500ms.
(C) Operation mode 3 (Relay output mode)
Three individual end point (EP) under relay output mode. Control each EP with on/off signal.
Default mode: 0002 attribute is 0x00 under shade mode：
①EP1 receiving “on/off” signal, relay on/off to control device 1.
②EP2 receiving “on/off” signal, relay on/off to control device 2.
③EP3 receiving “on/off” signal, relay on/off to control device 3.
4-6. Factory Setting
Z831 is capable of storing and saving network routing information. You can join to a new network by simply
resetting the device to restore to the factory setting.
4-7. Access to working modes
(1) While Z831 is powered on, long press binding key for 15 seconds (status indicator will flash individually on
3rd second, 10th second, 15th second).
(2) Release binding key, and then short press once within 2 seconds. Status indicator will flash 20 times to show
setting completion.
(3) Two indicators will shut off after step 2.
(4) Network indicator then starts to flash and Z831 will search the new network to join.
4-8. Select working modes
There are three mode switches, make sure only one of them is on or the network indicator and status indicator will
flash alternately. If so, please turn off all mode switches and restart Z831 again.
(1) Mode switch ①on (working mode of high power motor). There are a EP and two relays are working together
to control on/off/stop switches. Under mode ①, each EP controls 16 groups and 16 scenes.
(2) Mode switch ②on (working mode of low power motor). There are a EP and three relays are working together
to control on/off/stop switches. Under mode ②, each EP controls 16 groups and 16 scenes.
(3) Mode switch ③on (working mode of relay output). There are three individual EP and each EP controls one
on/off relay. Under mode ③, each EP controls 16 groups and 16 scenes.

4-9. Zigbee cluster for Z831
A cluster is a set of related attributes and commands which are grouped together to provide a specific function. A
simple example of a cluster would be the On/Off cluster which defines how an on/off switch behaves. This table
lists the clusters which are supported by Z831.
