Caution!
To minimize the risk of
fire or equipment damage, make
sure that ambient temperature air
is
allowed
to
circulate
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 THE LED

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

risks in order to avoid accidents related to

6. Starting the Network
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.
Quickly release both buttons. After a few
seconds, the Zlight2 will flash, and the remote
control will give a short beep.

2. Regulatory Information
The Zlight2 boards and the Remote control are FCC-
and IC certified and they are tested to comply 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.

(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
Intense light
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.

Starting the Network (cont.)
To confirm a successful touch link, you may press the
"on" button, and then the "off" button, and verify that
the lamp switches on and off accordingly.
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.
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

harmful to eyes.
Nom Voltage: 5 VDC
Max Current: 800 mA
Efficiency Level V
Note! When using an external power supply, make sure it meets
the listed requirements in addition to complying with applicable
regional product regulatory and safety certification requirements
such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE.
The Remote control is powered by a 3V CR2025
battery (included). Do not use other battery types.
Battery Requirements:
CR2025 UL Recognized Component Battery
Voltage: 3 V
Min Capacity: 165 mAh
NOTE: Only use Varta or Energizer CR2025 battery or equivalent.
7. Operating the Zlight2
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.
