Panic Button (PB-15ZBS)
Introduction
PB15-ZBS is a ZigBee Panic Button designed to activate the system to call for help during emergency situation and
support Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update capability.
The Panic Button utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless communication
protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency. Based on the IEEE802.15.4
standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and
signal transmission
The Panic Button serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee network to transmit
signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network through the Panic Button.

The Panic Button is powered by one CR123A 3V Lithium battery.
The Panic Button features Low Battery Detection function. When the battery voltage is low, the Panic Button will
transmit Low Battery signal to the ZigBee network coordinator.

ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission
efficiency. Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network
and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.
Due to the fundamental structure of ZigBee network, ZigBee device will actively seek and join network after
powering on. Since performing a task in connecting network may consume some power, it is required to follow the
instructions to avoid draining battery of a ZigBee device
- Ensure your ZigBee network router or coordinator is powered on before inserting battery into ZigBee device.
- Ensure the ZigBee network router or coordinator is powered on and within range while a ZigBee device is in use.
