LED L3 (yellow)
L3 flashes with every communication between the module and its radio unit
in Idle Mode, and with every communication with Alarm.com in Connected
Mode. In PowerSave Mode, this LED flashes in unison with LED 2.
LED L4 (green)
L4 indicates the LTE signal level as a number of flashes (0 to 5 bars). The
number of bars may not correspond to the bars shown on your cell phone. A
level of 5 bars is obtained only in the strongest signal conditions.
Signal level is updated every ten seconds if it fluctuates, or every 30 seconds
if it is fairly stable.
If L4 is not flashing it indicates one of the following states:
• The module is in PowerSave Mode
• The module just powered up
• There is no LTE coverage in the area. Alarm.com recommends a steady
signal level of 2 or higher for proper operation of the module.
In Connected Mode, the LED toggles on and off.
LED L5 (yellow)
L5 indicates Z-Wave errors. See Table 2 above for more details.
Various Module States (modes)
There are three module states, or modes, as described below:
Idle Mode. AC power is OK and the module is not currently talking to
Alarm.com.
L1 - Flashes errors, if any.
L2 - Communication with panel.
L3 - Communication with radio unit.
L4 - Signal level (0 to 5 bars).
L5 – Flashes errors, if any
PowerSave Mode. The module just powered up, AC power is down, or AC
power was recently restored and the battery is recharging. The module is
fully functional and will go into Connected Mode as soon as a signal needs to
be sent. Press and hold the 5 Key for 10 seconds to switch the module into
Idle Mode and update the signal level reading. The system will go into Idle
Mode every 2 hours to check for any incoming messages.
L1 - Inactive.
L2 - Communication with panel.
L3 - Same flashing pattern as L2.
L4 - Inactive.
L5 - Inactive
Connected Mode. The module is currently talking to Alarm.com. The
module stays in Connected Mode for at least four minutes after reporting
an event to Alarm.com, unless the 5 Key is pressed and held for 10 seconds,
which will cause the module to go back to Idle Mode.
L1 - Flashes errors, if any.
L2 - Communication with panel.
L3 - Communication with Alarm.com.
L4 - Alternates two seconds on, then two seconds off.
L5 - Inactive
Sleep Mode. The panel is not connected to AC power, or there is an AC
power failure, and the battery level is low. The module will connect to
Alarm.com to send a signal, but will otherwise draw almost no power.
Note: If the LTE module is powered down for a short period of time, buffered
messages from Alarm.com may be received when module power is restored.
