  • Page 6: Intended Use

    Introduction EpiSensor’s ZDI Digital Signal Sensor is intended to detect the open/closed status of switches, for example to detect when a door in a warehouse opens, and the percentage of time that it is open for. The ZDI reports the data through the wireless sensor network to the Gateway.
  • Page 7: Configuring The Jumpers

    Note: the single-channel version may use the same hardware as the dual channel version and so would also have a 4-pin terminal block. However, only the first channel (IN1) will be enabled on the ZDI-20 variant. Dry signals or pulses are not polarity sensitive, but Open Collector and Active signals or pulses are polarity sensitive.

    Diagram showing ZDI-22 with IN1 configured for an Dry Pulse, and IN2 configured for a Active Pulse Input Operation This section describes the operation of the 3 different signal types. Dry Signal A dry signal can be thought of as a simple switch. Window alarm contacts or reed switches would be examples of such a connection.

    IN connector. The positive DC voltage representing the signal must be connected to the positive (+) terminal of the IN connector. Note: The Active Signal Voltage on the ZDI-20/22 should not exceed 40 Volts! The jumper should be in the “AP” position on the selector grid for monitoring Active Pulse/Signal outputs.

    Check the power supply, and if the problem persists, contact EpiSensor support. Alt LED The Alt LED will flash when data is transmitted or received on the ZigBee wireless network. For mains powered nodes, it will always be active - but for battery powered nodes, it will only be active when in Command Mode.
  • Page 11: Mode Button

    Mode Button The following options are available with Command Mode. The button should be pressed and then released to register a valid button press. If no further button presses are made, the device will terminate “command mode” 4 seconds after the last button press. Press Description Send a PING message disable any active Install Mode or Range Test Mode.

    Electrical Installation The ZDI-20/22 is a mains powered device – the mains cable is colour coded to conform to European CENELEC standards. The CENELEC standard insulation colours are as follows: Live – Brown N – Blue Important Note: The ZDI-20/22 should be connected via a switched junction box and breaker to protect the cable.
  • Page 13: Opening The Enclosure

    ZDI has been isolated from any high voltage supplies. Please consult the safety notes at the start of this user guide for more information. Important Safety Note EpiSensor equipment should be installed, operated, serviced and maintained only by qualified personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the ZDI enclosure, and it should always be isolated from mains voltages before opening the enclosure lid.

    The label material is gloss white PVC foil with permanent adhesive and gloss overlaminate. The following table lists the certification and safety symbols that appear on the certification labels of EpiSensor products. Please refer to it for a definition of each symbol.
  • Page 15: Wireless Communications

    Wireless Communications All EpiSensor products use IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee Pro for wireless communications operating at 2.4GHz. This is a secure, scalable mesh networking communications protocol designed for transmitting small amounts of data reliably, and at low power levels.

    North America (FCC / IC) All communications over the ZigBee wireless network is AES 128-bit encrypted. For more detailed information on ZigBee security features, contact EpiSensor support. Sensors The following is a list of all sensors available on the ZDI. The reporting mode, reporting interval and logging enabled columns refer to the factory default settings, these settings can be configured from the Gateway.
