NOTE
Menu is preceded by two white flashes of the LED ring 6 seconds after the B-button is pressed.

Disabling visual indicator

Visual indication ring may be turned off for status signalling (turned On/OFF, power consumption). That means each status change will be signalled by a short white blink of the ring. Disabling it will not change operation of the device. To disable the LED ring:

1. Insert the Wall Plug in a socket.
2. Press and hold the B-button for about 3 seconds.
3. Release the B-button after LED ring starts pulsing white.

To restore visual indications perform above procedure again.

NOTE
Disabling the LED ring indications will also affect alarm signalization.

Controlling the Wall Plug with FIBARO Home Center controller

The Wall Plug after successful adding is represented in the home Center interface with a single icon. It allows to turn on and off the device and displays current active power and cumulative energy consumption.

Resetting the device to factory defaults

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted.

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Wait for the LED ring to glow yellow (3rd menu position).
4. Release the B-button.
5. Click the B-button once to confirm selection.
6. After few seconds the device will restart with factory settings, which is signalled with the red ring colour.

NOTE
Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing described in "Adding the device".

Power and energy consumption

The Wall Plug allows to monitor the active power and energy consumption. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. home Center. Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision.

Electric active power - power that energy receiver is changing into a work or a heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W].

Electric energy - energy consumed by a device through a time period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by suppliers on the basis of active power used in given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000Wh.

Resetting consumption memory:
Wall Plug allows to erase stored consumption data (turning it off/on or removing it from the socket will not erase consumption):

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Release the B-button when the LED ring glows green (1st menu position).
4. Press the B-button briefly.

Association

Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

The Wall Plug provides the association of three groups:
1st Association Group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd Association Group – "On/Off (Button)" devices in this group will be switched on or off when relay status is changed using the B-button (uses Basic command class).
3rd Association Group – "On/Off (Power)" devices in this group will be switched on or off depending on the current load (uses Basic command class).

The Wall Plug in 2nd and 3rd group allows to control up to 10 regular or multichannel devices per an association group. "LifeLine" group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Click the "Setting Association" button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wait for the configuration process to end.

NOTE
Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.

NOTE
2nd association group commands are sent only in case of manual operation through the B-button. 3rd association group commands are sent automatically, depending on parameters 21, 22, 23 and 24.

Z-Wave range test

The Wall Plug has a built in Z-Wave network main controller's range tester.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller's range:

1. Press and hold the B-button.
2. Wait for the LED ring to glow violet (2nd menu position).
3. Release the B-button.
4. Click the B-button once to confirm selection.
5. visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network's range (range signalling modes described below).
6. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
Visual indicator pulsing green - the Wall Plug attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green - the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the Wall Plug tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow - the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet - the Wall Plug does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It's not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red - the Wall Plug is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

NOTE
Communication mode of the Wall Plug may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

Advanced parameters

The Wall Plug allows to customize its operation to user's needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to configure the Wall Plug (using the FIBARO home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Modify values of chosen parameters.
4. Save the changes.

GENERAL SETTINGS

1. "Always On" mode
   In this mode Wall Plug will turn on connected device permanently and will stop reacting to attempts of turning it off (through Z-Wave network or pushing the B-button).
   "Always On" function turns the Wall Plug into a power and energy meter. Connected device will not be turned off upon receiving an alarm frame from another Z-Wave device (parameter 31 will be ignored).
   In "Always on" mode, connected device may be turned off after ex ceeding the power defined in parameter 3 or in case of detecting current greater than 110% of rated current. In such cases, connected device can be turned on again by pushing the B-button or sending a control frame. By default, overload protection is inactive.

Available settings:	0 - function inactive 1 - function activated
Default setting:	0	Parameter size:	[byte]

2. Remember device status before the power failure
   This parameter determines how the Wall Plug will react in the event of power supply failure (e.g. power outage or taking out from the electrical outlet).
   After the power supply is back on, the Wall Plug can be restored to previous state or remain switched off.
   This parameter is ignored in „Always On" mode - the device automatically turns On after plugging it into the socket.

Available settings:	0 - device remains switched off 1 - device restores the state from before the power failure
Default setting:	1	Parameter size:	[byte]

3. Overload safety switch
   This function allows to turn off the controlled device in case of exceeding 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.

Available settings:	0 - function inactive 10-30000 (1.0-3000.0W, step 0.1W) - power threshold
Default setting:	0	Parameter size:	2 [bytes]

The device has a protection that will turn the load off in the case of detecting current greater than 110% of rated current (>12A). It is a safety function and it cannot be turned off. After its activation the load can be turned on back again by pressing the B-button or sending a control frame. This function is independent of overload safety switch set in the parameter no. 3.

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 optimize Z-Wave network's use. In extreme cases it is recommended to turn off reporting completely and configure power polling or periodic reports in the Z-Wave controller.

The Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency. Below configuration parameters allow to specify how and how frequently power load will be reported.

NOTE
Overload safety switch functionality is not an overload safety protection nor a short circuit protection. Circuit needs additional short circuit and overload protection!

10. High priority power report
    This parameter determines the minimum percentage change in active power that will result in sending power report to the main controller 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 100 - reports are disabled
Default setting:	80 (80%)	Parameter size:	1 [byte]

NOTE
In extreme cases, reports may be sent every second if rapid and significant power load changes occur. Frequent reporting may overload Z-Wave network so these parameter's settings should reflect significant changes in power load only.

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 reports are not sent in mode, which may result in overloading 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%.

Available settings:	1-99 - power change in percent 100 - reports are disabled
Default setting:	15 (15%)	Parameter size:	1 [byte]

12. Power reporting interval
    This parameter defines the time interval of sending at most 5 standard power reports when the power changes by the value set in parameter 11. The higher the value of parameter 12, the fewer reports the device will send.

Available settings:	5-600 (in seconds)
Default setting:	30 (30s)	Parameter size:	2 [bytes]

NOTE
By default the Wall Plug sends up to 5 reports each 30 seconds, provided the power load changes by 15%.

13. Energy reporting threshold
    This parameter specifies the minimum change in energy consumption (in relation to the previously reported), that will result in sending a new report.

Available settings:	0 - energy reports inactive 1-500 (0.01-5kWh, step 0.01kWh) - threshold
Default setting:	10 (0.1kWh)	Parameter size:	2 [bytes]

14. Power and energy periodic reports
    This parameter defines time period between independent reports sent when changes in power load have not been recorded or if changes are insignificant. By default reports are sent every hour.

Available settings:	0 - periodic reports inactive 5-32400 (in seconds)
Default setting:	3600 (1h)	Parameter size:	2 [bytes]

15. Measuring energy consumed by the Wall Plug itself
    This parameter determines whether power metering should include the amount of power consumed by the Wall Plug itself. Results are being added to the value of power consumed by controlled device.

Available settings:	0 - function inactive 1 - function activated
Default setting:	0	Parameter size:	1 [byte]
