If the device responds with beeps when the
contact is closed then the message
problem is in the network setup (device is
not joined).
If you don't hear beeps when in setup mode
and when contacts are closed, then there
may be a problem with the device.
Make sure the device is in setup mode by 8
tapping the push button and hearing the 2
confirming beeps.

Axxess can supply optional external
contact harnesses either with or without
magnetic reed switches.
In either case the Doorbell Button end of
the harness is terminated with a connector
that plugs into the receptacles.
External Contact Setup
To set up the external contacts, put the
device into setup mode with 8 taps on the
network push button. Once in setup mode,
the device will respond with audible beeps
when Contact 1 or Contact 2 is closed.
Setup will automatically exit after 8
minutes, and can also be turned off in
composer.
ZigBee Network (Cont'd)
When joining, the device will beep up to
two times while searching for a network.
Once it has joined it will give 6 ascending
beeps. When powering up the device it will
give 6 ascending beeps to indicate it is
joined, or 6 descending beeps to indicate it
is not joined.
The range of the device can vary dep-
ending on the strength of the router it is
connected to, as well as the physical
elements surrounding the installation.
Typically the device can communicate up
to 400 feet in the open, however, this can be
reduced to 40 feet when indoors depend-
ing on the routing device. Make sure the
network is designed properly and that the
strength of the router and physical barriers
are taken into consideration.

Troubleshooting
There are only 2 device conditions that can
be broken.
If you hear the beeps in response to
network taps, then you have battery power.
If not, reseat battery. After reseating batt-
ery the device will boot up (1min).
Following boot up network taps should
result in beeps. If not, try a new Axxess
approved battery.
If you have attached external magnetic
contacts and you hear beeps upon taps but
you don't receive ZigBee messages for
open or close put the device into test mode
(8 taps) and close the external contacts.
