Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Will the Master unit operate properly if only one battery is installed?
A.
Yes; however, battery life can be diminished relatively quickly, especially in Masters
that are associated to Range Extenders. The batteries operate in parallel and the reason to
use two batteries is merely to prolong the operating period before it becomes evident that a
change of batteries is required.
Q.
If the room light levels are high enough for the Virtual Dimming luminaries to be
turned off and the Toggle All Lamps mode is started, what will happen?
A.
The ZAURA standard luminaries will turn off and the ZAURA Virtual Dimming
luminaries will turn on. If the mode button is pressed again, the luminaries will toggle
back to the state they were in before the test was started. Also, if the Mode button is not
pressed for approximately one minute, the system will reset to
Normal operating mode.
Q.
Upon initial installation of the battery into the Master unit, why does nothing seem to
happen?
A.
This occurrence is normal. The Master is busy going through many initial setup func-
tions which include scanning the local radio traffic on or near the frequency band that is
being used. If there is traffic on or near the frequency band being used, the Master unit will
adjust the radio frequency slightly to avoid possible interference. This adjustment period
will last for approximately 45 seconds and the blue LED should be blinking while this
automatic radio sensing process is being performed. This occurrence will only take place
the first time the Master Unit is powered.
Q. Will the unit still operate if the Master is removed from the base plate mounted on the
ceiling?
A.
Yes, although the motion and light-sensing functions can be changed depending on
the location and orientation of the Master unit in the room.
Q.
Are ZAURA Starters and ZAURA Virtual Dimming Starters identical?
A. Yes – except for how they operate after the association process.
Q.
Can I install ZAURA in multiple rooms at one time?
A.
Zilog highly recommends installing ZAURA systems one room at a time to avoid pos-
sible communication issues during the association process.
