It also occasionally flashes in patterns to indicate Z-Wave status.
See the Table 5 below for a description of various possibilities.

Description
4-blink
Add mode (lasts
120 seconds or
until a device is
added)
In this mode you can add a
device to the local Z-Wave
network. Devices cannot be
added to a network if they are
already a part of a network
2-blink
Delete mode
(lasts 120
seconds or until
a device is
added)
In this mode you can delete a
device from a Z-Wave
network. A device can only be
in one network at a time, and
must receive a “delete”
command before it can be
learned into a new network

After receiving this signal leave
all devices by the CDMA
Module for 1 minute. Locks
must be left next to the
module for 4 minutes

network, and must be
“deleted” before it can join a
new network
2-blink No other nodes
are in the
network (lasts
until a device is
added to the
network)
No devices have been added
that can be controlled by the
CDMA Module yet. See above
for instructions on how to add
devices
5-blink Learn mode

seconds)
The device you attempted to
add into a Z-Wave network
was not successfully added
6-blink No Home ID
present (lasts
until the module
connects to
Alarm.com and
is configured)
When the CDMA module first
connects to Alarm.com it is
configured with a necessary
unique network ID
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 CDMA 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 LED 4 is continuously flashing, the module provisioning process
is in progress. The signal level indication will resume after the
process completes.
If L4 is not flashing it indicates one of the following states:
• The module is in power save mode;
• The module just powered up;
• There is no CDMA 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. The possible signals and what they
indicate can be viewed above.
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
