1. Introduction
Z308, a wearable presence tag, acts as an IAS device for minor children/aged-care use. It is an ideal product to
detect one’s presence within/ out of the network coverage for safety purpose. Z308 periodically sends
presence/absence report to keep a close watch on those who wear it. Z308 also works as an emergency button.
When users ask for urgent assistance, simply push the button, and Z308 will send the alarm message to the
command center. The Warning Device will send out alarm sound or lighting alert for immediate help.
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 Z308
5-1. Turn On/ Turn Off Z308
To manually turn on or turn off Z308, please use the following instructions:
A. Turn it on: Press and hold the Panic Button for 3 seconds. The indicators will flash once, and the
device is ready to be used.
yWhen ZB02C is in a ZigBee network →the indicator will flash green 5 times.
B. Turn it off: Press and hold the Panic Button for 6 seconds. The indicator will flash red 10 times
within 5 seconds. Within the 5-second period of time, press the Panic Button again to turn it off.
5-2. Join the ZigBee Network
After Z308 is turned on, it will search for an existing ZigBee network and send a request to join the network
automatically. While Z308 is under the coverage from a coordinator or a router whose permit-join feature is
enabled, Z308 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 Z308. 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.
Step5. When Z308 cannot join a network in 25 seconds, it will go into turn-off mode.
yAfter joining a network, Z308 would try to enroll in the ZigBee security system. Please make sure Z308
and CIE (Control and Indicating Equipment) device have enough power.
5-3. Enroll in the ZigBee Security System
Z308 is a Zone device in the ZigBee security system. Right after Z308 join the ZigBee network, it will
automatically find out a CIE (Control and Indicating Equipment) device (i.e. Netvox Z201B) and send a
registration request to the CIE device to enroll in the security system. The enrollment has these 3 situations:
A. There is no CIE device or no compatible CIE device in the network →the indicator flashes red twice.
B. There is a compatible CIE device in the network, but it is failed to enroll →the indicator flashes red 4
times. Users can reboot Z308 to initiate the registration.
C. The enrollment is completed →the indicator flashes red 6 times.
NOTE: Users had better NOT enroll multiple Zone devices at the same time to prevent registration failure.

7
5-4. Sleeping Mode
Z308 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. Once Z308 was joined to a network and by any chance the network is no longer existed or the device
is out of the network →Z308 will wake up every 5 minutes to find the network it joined before.
It never keeps in sleeping mode and continues to find out a network every 5 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 turn off the device.
5-5. Wake up Z308
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 the Panic Button for 3 seconds. Release the button when the indicator flashes red
once.
Step2. The indicator flashes green 5 times when Z308 is online.
Step3. Z308 will broadcast the device data to the ZigBee network.
Z308 would be in active status for 2 minutes for communication.
5-6. Panic Button
yZ308’s Zone Type: Key Fob (ID: 0x0115)
yThe value of Alarm2 is 1 when sending alarm message.
Under the circumstances that Z308 has enrolled to the security system, it will send the alarm message to the
command center (and the bound devices with ID: 0x0500) after pressing the Panic Button. The Warning
Device will send out alarm sound or lighting alert for immediate help.
Under the circumstances that Z308 hasn’t enrolled to the security system, it will try enroll in a security system
after pressing the Panic Button. After the enrollment, Z308 will send the alarm message to the command
center.

Z308 works as a presence tag. It is an ideal product to detect one’s presence within/ out of the network
coverage for safety purpose. Z308 periodically sends presence/absence report to keep a close watch on those
who wear it. The bound devices (with ID: 0xFE60) could calculate Z308’s location based on the RSSI values
between Router Devices and Z308.

5-8. HeartBeat Technique
In a security system, it is important that Zone devices report the conditions to the central security unit (the
CIE device). To meet this need, Netvox came up with a technique called “HeartBeat”.
Right after Z308 enrolls to a security system, it sends a HeartBeat signal to the CIE device. Afterward, it will
send HeartBeat data every hour by default settings.
5-9. Battery
When the operating voltage is lower than 2.1V, the indicator will flash red once. Z308 will send a low-power
report to the ZigBee network.
The related data:
yPower configuration cluster (ID:0x0001)
yBattery voltage attribute (ID:0x0020)
5-10. Restore to Factory Setting
To restore it to factory setting, please follow the steps:
Step1. Press and hold the Panic Button or 15 seconds.
Step2. Release the button after the indicator shows fast red flashes.
Step3. After 10 red flashes, it will go into turn-off mode. The indicator will be Off.
6. Home Automation Clusters for Z308
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 Z308.

7. ZiG-BUTLER
ZiG-BUTLER is an exclusive program which allows users to easily control the devices, such as enable permit-join
feature, wirelessly through computer or laptop. Of course, any other 3rd party ZigBee enabled software is also
applicable. The system needs a Z103 USB dongle or a Z202 ZigBee gateway to communicate with the ZigBee
network.
7-1. Join Z308 into the network
When ZiG-BUTLER sees a coordinator or a router device, it will show the icon.

12
Right click on the icon of the coordinator or the router and choose Set Permit Join On.
After Z308 has successfully joined, the Z308 icon will be appeared in ZiG-BUTLER.
7-2. Bind Z308
Right click on the End Point of Z308 and select Bind.
On the Device tab, select the device to which you would like to bind. Next, click Select ClusterID, choose the
Cluster, and click OK.

13
The information would be pop-up after the binding is completed.
Right click on the End Point of Z308 and select Properties to view the binding information.

14
7.3. View Zone Status
Right click on the End Point of Z308 and select Properties.
Zone status will be shown as below.

15
On the General tab, the Zone Status shows the device information.
7.4. Configure HeartBeat Interval
In a security system, it is important that Zone devices report the conditions to the central security unit (the
CIE device). To meet this need, Netvox came up with a technique called “HeartBeat”. By default settings,
Z308 reports HeartBeat every hour. Users can configure the period of time by the following steps:
Wake up Z308 first (please refer to 5.5. Wake up Z308).
Right click on the End Point of Z308 and select Properties.
On the Advance tab, set up the HeartBeat period (30 seconds~168 hours) and click Set HeartBeat to
complete the setting.

16
Click Refresh to confirm the settings.
7.5. Assign Z308 to a Preferred CIE Device
Through ZiG-BUTLER, users are able to assign Z308 to a preferred CIE device using the tips below:
Wake up Z308 first (please refer to 5.5. Wake up Z308).
Right click on the End Point of Z308 and select Properties.
On the Advance tab, select the device in IAS CIE ADDRESS and click Set IAS_CIE_ADDRESS to
complete the setting.
