The ZIR010 can be configured to operate in 1 of 3 modes. Those modes are: Lighting Mode (factory default) Alarm Mode Sensor Mode To change the mode of operation: For Lighting Mode: Send a value of 0 to Configuration Parameter #17. For Alarm Mode: Send a value of 1 to Configuration Parameter #17. For Sensor Mode: Send a value of 2 to Configuration Parameter # 17.

This parameter can be configured with the value of 0 through 255. Where 0 means no delay and 255 means 255 minutes of delay. Default appears to be 1 min.

Setting it back to 1 will re-enable the ZIR010.

This awake time period starts over every time the ZIR010 receives a command or request. Defaults to 30 seconds.
