Image Sensor - LED guide

LED pattern for Image Sensor version 1 and 2 

The following table applies to Image Sensor models version 1 (i.e., ADC-IS-100-LP and ADC-IS-GC) and version 2 (i.e., ADC-IS-200-LP, ADC-IS-221-LP, ADC-IS-200-GC, and ADC-IS-220-GC). 

If the Image Sensor’s red status LED is blinking, refer to the following table for troubleshooting diagnostics.  

LED description
LED Pattern Device Status or Error Duration of LED Pattern

Solid for 5 Seconds

Sensor Power-Up

Approximately first 5 seconds after powering.

Fast Blink for 5 Seconds at a Time

Searching for Network to Join

Repeats pattern for up to 60 seconds after powering until the sensor enrolls in a network.

Solid for 5 Seconds

Sensor Joins or Rejoins Network

First 5 seconds after sensor joins a new network (during enroll process) or rejoins its existing net­work.

Solid for 3 Seconds at a Time

Motion Test Mode

 

Repeats for each motion activation during the 3 minutes after the sensor joins the network, has been tam­pered, or is placed in PIR test mode.

Note: In test mode, there is an 8-second sleep timeout between motion trips.

Slow Blink for 5 Seconds at a Time

Attempting to Rejoin Network

Repeats pattern for up to 60 seconds after power cycle until the sensor reconnects to its network.

Note: This means the sensor has already been enrolled in a network and is trying to connect to it.  If attempting to enroll the sensor in a new network, hold the reset button for a full 10 seconds (until LED blinks rapidly) to clear the old network before adding to a new network.

Fast Blink for 1 Second at a Time

Network
Commu­nication Problem

Pattern begins after 60 seconds of searching for (and not joining) a network and repeats until RF communication is restored. Pattern persists if the sensor is not enrolled in a network or cannot connect to the current network.
