1. Introduction
Netvox Z503, a ZigBee local commander, can be bound with the lighting/ curtain/ dimmer devices for users to
control these devices wirelessly. It allows people to perform the scene controls, and each button is programmable.
Z503 also equipped with an emergency button. When users ask for urgent assistance, simply push the button, and it
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.

5-4. Emergency
After binding with IAS devices, press to send emergency message to the network.
5-5. Arm/Disarm Security
After finding out CIE device (please refer to 5-1. Join the ZigBee Network), users area able to arm/disarm the
security through Z503.
Arm: While the security is disarmed, press and hold for 3 seconds to arm the security. The
indicator will flash once.
Disarm: While the security is armed, press and hold for 3 seconds to disarm the security. The
indicator will flash once.
5-6. Store Scene
Press and hold the Scenario button / / for 3 seconds. The Indicator will flash once.
Z503 will save the devices status of the network. The Indicator flashes 5 times after the setting is completed;
otherwise, it will not flash.
5-7. Recall Scene
Press Scenario / / to recall scene.
5-8. Delete Stored Scene
Press and hold for 3 seconds, and the indicator will flash once. After the scene is deleted,
the indicator flashes 7 times;otherwise, it flashes 3 times.
The scene cannot be restored after deleting.
It is recommended that users delete scene when first-time use or Z503 joins a new ZigBee network.
5-9. Sleeping Mode
Z503 is designed to go into sleeping mode for power-saving in some situations:

9
A. When it doesn’t find a network to join → Z503 will go to sleeping mode.
B. While the device is in the network → the sleeping period is 5 minutes; it will wake up every 5
minutes to keep online.
C. Once Z503 was joined to a network and by any chance the network is no longer existed or the device
is out of the network → Z503 will wake up every 15 minutes to find the network it joined before. It
never keeps in sleeping mode and continues to find its 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 manually power off the device.
5-10. Wake up Z503
When users would like to setup or acquire data from the device which is in sleeping mode, we have to wake
up the device. To wake up Z503, press and hold first. Meanwhile, press to wake it up. After
waking up, there will be some situations:
Z503 is in the network → the indicator will flash 5 times, and Z503 will broadcast the device
information such as IP address and IEEE address.
Z503 hasn’t joined the network → the indicator will flash once, and Z503 will start to search a network
to join.
Z503 was joined to a network and by any chance the network is no longer existed → the indicator will
flash once, and Z503 will find the network it joined before.
5-11. Battery
Low-power report: When the operating voltage is lower than 2.4V, Z503 will send a low-power report to the
CIE device. The 4 battery attributes:
BatteryVoltageMinThreshold: 2.1V
BatteryVoltageThreshold1: 2.2V
BatteryVoltageThreshold2: 2.3V
BatteryVoltageThreshold3: 2.4V
When the battery voltage is lower than the VoltageThreshold, it will send the voltage alarm code:
Lower than BatteryVoltageMinThreshold → sends the Alarmcode = 0x10
Lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold1 → sends the Alarmcode = 0x11
Lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold2 → sends the Alarmcode = 0x12
Lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold3 → sends the Alarmcode = 0x13
Users are able to use these data to check the battery status:
Power configuration cluster (ID:0x0001)
Battery voltage attribute (ID:0x0020)

10
5-12. Restore to Factory Setting
To restore it to factory setting, please follow the steps:
Step1. Power off Z503.
Step2. Press and hold both and , and then power on Z503.
Step3. After the indicator flashes 10 times, reboot Z503 to complete the restore.
When the restore is failed, the indicator will generate slow flash 3 times.
