Backup Battery Level Report: Notification sent when the battery reaches a low level. Battery report values include Battery Level % (e.g., 20100) and Low Battery (0xFF).

Device Reset Locally: A message is sent to the Gateway when the SA301 is reset.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and their resolutions include:

• No node ID: The Z-Wave Controller does not allocate a node ID. This can happen if the unit is powered for the first time without a stored ID or after a reset.
• Auto Inclusion: If the unit is powered for the first time and no node ID is stored, or after a factory reset, it enters inclusion mode. The Status LED blinks green.
• Manual Inclusion: Put the Z-Wave Controller into inclusion mode, then press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into inclusion mode. The Status LED will blink green (2-second on, 2-second off).
• Exclusion: Put the Z-Wave Controller into exclusion mode, then press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put the unit into exclusion mode. The Status LED will blink green (2-second on, 2-second off).
• Factory Reset: Press the Link button 3 times within 1.5 seconds, then within 1 second of that, press and hold the Link button for 5 seconds. The unit reverts to factory defaults. The LED indication for this process is 'For 2 minutes'.

Inclusion/exclusion success or failure can be viewed on the Z-Wave Controller. If connecting to an S2 security controller, a 5-digit PIN may be required, found on the unit's QR code label or packaging insert.

Common Problems

• Cannot carry out inclusion and association:
• Possible Cause: Device is paired to another Z-Wave controller or out of range.
• Recommendation: 1. Perform Exclusion from the other controller first, then include with the new controller. 2. Perform a Factory Reset on the device and then carry out inclusion with the new controller. 3. Relocate the controller closer to the unit. 4. Install a Z-Wave repeater (e.g., smart plugs).
