Considerations & Limitations for Z-2400 Network Systems:
The ZigBee system does not offer 100% connectivity as losses due to radio signals being used do occur.
Due to the mesh network nature connection, the Remotes can connect to the Base via different network paths, i.e. if
more than one Remote is used, instead of Remotes connecting directly to the Base, they may connect to other Remotes
which then connect to the Base. Thus the network formation is not predictable. If one of the Remotes that happens to be
forwarding messages for another Remotes powers down, it may take a minute or two for the remaining Remotes to
regain access to the Base.

Troubleshooting:

If the LEDs toggle on sleeper start-up, the Sleeper has found the base (LEDs flash alternately).
If the base does not show that the Sleeper has been connected, check the sleeper node address is unique and that
there is not another Sleeper with the same DIP Switch A settings.
If the Sleeper does not toggle on start-up (LEDS flash at the same time):
1. The Sleeper cannot connect due to low signal.
2. The incorrect mesh ID has been set on the Sleeper.
If you receive faulty readings from the Sleeper inputs:
1. Check that the inputs are programed correctly using the XU-USB setup software.
2. Use a calibrator or field tester to check the fidelity of the sensor.
3. Check that there is not another Sleeper set to the same Node Address, Dip Switch A settings.
Press the Reset button on the front of the Sleeper with a screwdriver to make the Sleeper start its start-up sequence
again.
