3. Overload safety switch
This function allows to turn off the controlled device in case of ex-
ceeding the defined power. Controlled device will be turned off even
if "Always On" function is active (parameter 1).
Controlled device can be turned back on via B-button or sending a
control frame. By default this function is inactive.
This functionality is not an overload safety protection nor a short circuit
protection. Circuit needs additional short circuit and overload protection.
Available settings: 0 - function inactive
Default setting:
GROUP 10. POWER AND ENERGY MEASUREMENT
The default values of the parameters suit most types of devices. They
were selected to show in real time the instantaneous power values,
while not overloading the Z-Wave network in the process. In specific
cases it may be necessary to modify default settings in order to op-
timize Z-Wave network's use. In extreme cases it is recommended to
turn off reporting completely and configure power polling or period-
ic reports in the Z-Wave controller.
FIBARO Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency.
Below configuration parameters allow to specify how and how fre-
quently power load will be reported.
10. High priority power report
This parameter determines the minimum percentage change in ac-
tive power that will result in sending power report to the main con-
troller with the highest priority in the Z-Wave network.
By default, the Wall Plug immediately sends the power report if the
power load changes by 80%.
Available settings: 1-99 - power change in percent
Default setting:
11. Standard power report
This parameter determines the minimum percentage change in active
power that will result in sending power report to the main controller
Compared to parameter 10, the maximum number of reports sent is
reduced (parameter 12) to 5 in a specified time interval. In addition,
the frames are not sent in EXPLORE mode, which prevents overload-
ing the Z-Wave network.
By default changes in power load may be reported up to 5 times per
30 seconds, when power load changes by 15%.

CAUTION
The device has a pro-
tection that will turn
the load off in the case
of detecting current
greater than 110% of
rated current. It is a
safety function and it
cannot be turned off.
After its activation the
load can be turned on
back again by press-
ing the B-button or
sending
a
control
frame. This function is
independent of over-
load safety switch set
in the parameter no. 3.

NOTE
Overload safety switch
functionality is not an
overload safety pro-
tection nor a short cir-
cuit protection. Circuit
needs additional short
circuit and overload
protection!
i
NOTE
In extreme cases, re-
ports may be sent
every second if rapid
and significant power
load changes occur.
Frequent
reporting
may
overload
the
Z-Wave network so
these parameter's set-
tings should reflect
significant changes in
power load only.
