Quickstart
This is a secure Light Dimmer for Europe. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.
This is a secure Light Dimmer Switch for Europe. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply. To add this device
to your network execute the following action:
1. Switch off the mains voltage.
2. Open the wall switch box.
3. Connect the Dimmer in accordance with one of the diagrams attached in the manual.
4. Switch on the mains voltage.
5. Wait for the calibration process to end. Light may blink. The device will be switched off once the process is completed.
6. Set the main Z-Wave controller into learning mode.
7. Quickly, three times press the B-button or key connected to the S1 terminal.
8. Wait for the device to be included into system. Successful inclusion will be confirmed by the controller.
9. Arrange the antenna and close the wall switch box.
Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer,
distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this
equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and
every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is
not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-
Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this
device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level
of security to maintain backward compatibility.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
Product Description
Fibaro Dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. Dimmer 2 is equipped with a
smart algorithm of light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with non-
dimmable light sources in 3-wire connection. Active power and energy consumption allows to monitor and reduce electricity bills. Dimmer 2 is compatible with any
Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller.
Remotely controlled light dimming module is designed to work with various types of light sources in 2 or 3-wire connection so it can operate with or without neutral
lead. Fibaro Dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. Dimmer 2 is equipped
with a smart algorithm of light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with
non-dimmable light sources in 3-wire connection. Active power and energy consumption allows to monitor and reduce electricity bills. Dimmer 2 is compatible with
any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller.
As a dimmer it operates under the following loads:
230V operated conventional incandescent and halogen light sources
ELV electronic transformers (12V operated halogen lamps and dimmable LED bulbs)
MLV ferromagnetic transformers with 12V operated halogen lamps

  • Page 3 3. Connect with one of following the diagrams: NOTE: Switch connected to the S1 terminal is a master switch. It activates the basic functionality of the Dimmer 2 (turning the light on/off, dimming) and starts the learning mode (Add/Remove). The switch connected to the S2 terminal is an optional switch and pushing it without changing the configuration parameters will not affect the status of the device.
