ZigBee Light Link Development Kit Quick Start Guide
Opening the box and setting up a ZLL network in 3 simple steps
1. Kit Contents
3 x Zlight2 LED boards
1 x Remote control
3 x micro-USB cables
Documentation
2. Regulatory Information
The Zlight2 boards and the Remote control are FCC-
and IC certified and are tested/compliant with
ETSI/R&TTE over temperature from 0 to +35°C. The
Remote control has an on-board inverted F PCB
antenna while the Zlight2 has an on-board half wave
dipole PCB antenna.
FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance
FCC Part 15 Class A Compliant
IC ICES-003 Class A Compliant
Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive
components. Handle with care to prevent
permanent damage.
3. Purpose of the Kit
The CC2531 ZigBee Light Link (ZLL) development
kit is intended for customers who would like to
evaluate ZLL lighting control for LED light products,
and develop simple applications and demonstrators
based on this standard.
The kit contains everything needed to set up a ZLL
network and control the lights individually or as a
group. It’s also possible to extend the kit with more
HW to allow cloud based control solutions such as
Ninja blocks (http://www.ninjablocks.com/).
Information about this can be found by following the
links supplied at the end of the document.
4. Power Options
The Zlight2 boards are powered through the
USB connector. It is recommended that they
are powered from a dedicated USB power
supply capable of supplying at least 800mA
and max 5.5V.
The Remote control is powered by a 3V
CR2025 battery (included). Do not use other
battery types.
5. Powering the Boards (Step 1)
Connect the Zlight2 boards to your USB power
supply using the supplied cables.
Insert the CR2025 battery into the remote control
Do not leave the Zlight2 boards powered when
not in use or unattended.
6. Starting the Network (Step 2)
In ZLL, the process of pairing a new lamp with a
remote control is called touch linking.
Touch link the first Zlight2 board by holding the
remote control close and simultaneously pressing
the “on” and “off” buttons. Release both buttons.
After a few seconds, the Zlight2 will flash, and the
remote control will give a short beep.(continued)
Starting the Network (cont.)
Continue by Touch linking the remaining 2
Zlight2 boards, one at a time. Note that if
the two buttons are pressed with too much
time difference, the “on” or “off” command
will be sent to the previously touch linked
Zlight2 instead of initiating a new Touch
link command. Try again.
Touch link the Zlight2 boards by holding
the remote control close and
simultaneously pressing the “on” and
“off” buttons
7. Operating the Zlight2 (Step 3)
Caution! To minimize the risk of fire or
equipment damage, make sure that
ambient temperature air is allowed to
circulate freely around the Zlight2 board
when operating. Avoid touching
components during operation if symbolized as hot. A
thermal shutdown routine is implemented in the
included firmware running on the lights. Always make
sure that this routine is implemented if you flash your
own firmware. The easiest way to do that is to base it
on ZStack-Lighting-1.0.2 or later releases from Texas
Instruments.
Caution! DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO LED
LIGHT SOURCE. Intense light sources
have a high secondary exposure
potential due to their blinding effect. A
temporary reduction in visual acuity and
afterimages can occur, leading to
irritation, annoyance, visual impairment, and even
accidents, depending on the situation. Always
consider the use of light filtering/darkening protective
eyewear and be fully aware of surrounding laboratory
type set-ups when viewing intense light sources to
minimize/eliminate such risks in order to avoid
accidents related to temporary blindness.
Operating the Zlight2 (cont.)
RISK GROUP 2
CAUTION
Possible hazardous optical
radiation emitted from this product.
Do not stare at operating lamp.
Maybe harmful to eyes.
Do not stare at operating LEDs –
o (Risk Group 1 (RG1) @ 0.9m)
Per IEC 62471 ed 1.0: 2006-07
(“Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp
Systems”) this product has been classified in
Risk Group 2. Products classified as Risk
Group 2 do not pose a hazard due to the
aversion response to very bright light
sources or due to thermal discomfort. It
should be noted that INTENTIONALLY
staring at the lamp for extended lengths of
time from short distances could lead to a
potential risk of eye damage due to a retinal
blue-light hazard. In order to reduce the
potential of exposure to a retinal blue-light
hazard, the operator must avoid any direct
view of the LEDs while in operation, from a
distance of 0.9m, or closer.
Operating the Zlight2 (cont.)
Once connected to the ZLL network through
touch linking, the Zlight2s can be controlled
with the remote control. The remote control
will always address a target, which can be an
individual lamp, or a group of lamps.
Operating the Zlight2 (cont.)
When more than one lamp is on the network,
repeatedly pressing the < or > button on the remote
will cycle through all the individual lights, and group 1,
in a circular manner ( > cycles clockwise and < cycles
counter-clockwise).
The next command will be sent to the last selected
target. Group 1 consists of all the lamps on the
network. The lamps will blink to identify when they are
selected. Select group 1 by pressing the left or right
arrow button until all the lamps blink simultaneously to
identify.
You can now control Level, Color and Saturation on all
the lamps. The on/off commands will also be sent to
the whole network (Group 1).
Level up: Increase intensity
Level down: Decrease intensity
Color (Hue) up: Change colour
Color (Hue) down: Change colour
Sat up: Increase saturation (“more color”)
Sat down: Decrease saturation (“more white”)
Note: Changing the Color (Hue) will not produce a
visible change in the light if the Saturation is set to
minimum, i.e. white light.
