1. Introduction
Netvox Z312, a Door Bell device, 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. Z312 can be logically bound with a
ZigBee enable Warning Device, like Z602A, to work as a door bell button.
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 Z312
5.1. Turn On/ Turn Off Z312
Under the circumstances Z312 is first time used or after resetting, when it is powered on and cannot
successfully search a network, Z312 will go into turn-off mode. Turn-off mode ensures the minimum power
consumption. Under this mode, any other buttons and contacts are not active except the binding key.
When Z312 had previously joined a ZigBee network, Z312 will go to turn-on mode and is ready to work in
the network after powering on it.
Users can also manually turn on or turn off Z312 using the following instructions:
A. Turn it on: Press the Binding Key once. The indicator will flash red once, and the device is ready to
be used.
B. Turn it off: Press the Binding Key once. The indicator will flash red 10 times in 5 seconds. Press the
Binding Key again within 5 seconds to turn the device off. Otherwise, while the key press is not
applied within 5 seconds, the device will be still in turn-on mode.
NOTE1: We recommend that users remove the battery to power off Z312 when it is not indented to be used
for a long period of time.
NOTE2: After Z312 first-time joins a network or re-installs the batteries, it will be activated for 5 minutes.
5.2. Join the ZigBee Network
After Z312 is powered on, it will search for an existing ZigBee network and send a request to join the network
automatically. While Z312 is under the coverage from a coordinator or a router whose permit-join feature is
enabled, Z312 will be permitted to join the network. Typically, the permit-join period is 1 minute. Please refer
to the following steps to complete the join:
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 Z312. It will start to search and join the network.
The indicator will flash green 5 times after it is joined successfully. Otherwise, the indicator will not flash.
Z312 will stop searching and go to turn-off mode when it doesn’t find a network to join. Press the Binding
Key again to turn it on for searching and joining the network.
5.3. Binding
To make Z312 work with the Warning Device such Z602A, users need to bind the two devices:
Step1. Press and hold the Binding Key for 3 seconds to broadcast the binding request. The indicator will
flash red once.

7
Step2. Within 13 seconds, enable the binding feature of the Warning Device.
Step3. The indicator flashes red 5 times after the binding is completed; otherwise, it flashes red 10
times.
After binding, the Warning Device would generate the doorbell sound and the indicator will flash red once
when Z312’s doorbell button is applied. Without binding, the indicator will not flash.
5.4. Sleeping Mode
Z312 is designed to go into sleeping mode for power-saving in some situations:
A. 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. B. When it doesn’t find a network to join → Z312 will go to sleeping mode. It will wake up every 15
minutes to search a network to join.
C. C. Once Z312 was joined to a network and by any chance the network is no longer existed or the
device is out of the network → Z312 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.
5.5. Wake up Z312
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 Auxiliary Key and Binding Key.
Step2. After the indicator flashes red twice, release both buttons.
Z312 would be in active status for 2 minutes for communication.
5.6. Enroll in the ZigBee Security System
Z312 is a Zone device in the ZigBee security system. Right after Z312 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.
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 press and hold for 3seconds the Auxiliary Key to initiate the registration manually.
C. The enrollment is completed → the indicator flashes red 6 times.

8
NOTE: Users would better NOT enroll multiple Zone devices at the same time to prevent registration failure.
5.7. 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 Z312 enrolls to a security system, it sends a HeartBeat signal to the CIE device. Afterward, it will
send HeartBeat data regularly. HeartBeat period supports 30 seconds~168 hours.
5.8. Battery
1. Working voltage of Z312 is between 2.1-3.6V.
2.Once Z312 is joined into ZigBee network successfully, the battery voltage will be detected
immediately. And then battery voltage will be detected once every hour; voltage detection will be
carried out when the button is pressed. Once the voltage is less than 2.1V, Z312 will make
warning once every hour. Z312 will make low voltage announcement to all the device in the
same network, in the mean time, the red indicator flashes once.
3. Default low-voltage threshold:
BatteryVoltageMinThreshold: 2.1V (0x15)
BatteryVoltageThreshold1: 2.2V (0x16)
BatteryVoltageThreshold2: 2.3V (0x17)
BatteryVoltageThreshold13: 2.4V (0x18)
4. When the voltage is lower than BatteryVoltageMinThreshold, it will issue alarmcode = 0x10
the alarm broadcast command;
When the voltage is lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold1, it will issue alarmcode = 0x11 the
alarm broadcast command;
When the voltage is lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold2, it will issue alarmcode = 0x12 the
alarm broadcast command;
When the voltage is lower than BatteryVoltageThreshold3, it will issue alarmcode = 0x13 the
alarm broadcast command.
5.9. Restore to Factory Setting
While Z312 is unable to communicate with its enrolled CIE device or users would like Z312 to join a new
network, a factory reset is required. To restore it to factory setting, please follow the steps:
Step1. Press and hold both Auxiliary Key and Binding Key for 5 seconds.
Step2. Until the indicator starts flashing red quickly, release both buttons to complete the reset.
Step3. After 20 flashes, Z312 will go into the turn-off mode.

9
After the factory restore, please refer to Chapter 5.1. Turn On/ Turn Off Z302 to setup it.
5.10. Report Configuration for Developer
10 seconds after powering on, Z312 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.
