The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a universal, optical Z-Wave smoke detector. Fire alarm is signaled by sound, visual indicator blinking and by sending Z-Wave alarm and control commands.
The optical sensor detects smoke at an early stage of fire, often before flames appear and temperature starts to rise significantly. Moreover the device has a built-in temperature sensor, which is programmable indicator of exceeding set temperature level.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is designed to be placed on a wall or ceiling. Visual indicator signals fire, operating mode and is used to see if device is within the Z-Wave network. The smoke sensor is designed to operate in confined spaces, under normal conditions (lacking smoke, dust, condensed water vapor).

Read this manual before attempting to install the device. Failure to observe recommendations included in this manual may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, Fibar Group Sp. z o.o., will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following the instructions of operating manual.
Work within local code height requirements during installation of the Fibaro Smoke Sensor. Take special precautions during installation and use tools and equipment in perfect working order. It's recommended to observe ladders, lifts and other obstacles.
Maintenance inspections should be performed regularly. Manufacturer recommends the functional and visual checks to be performed at least once a week. Functional check includes self-test.
When handled carelessly or used in non-specified environment conditions, the device may not function properly. It's highly recommended to take all safety precautions to ensure safety and property protection.
Depending on the Smoke Sensors internal conditions (e.g. battery discharge, device failure, etc.) and ambient conditions, fire alarms are not always effective in all situations. Smoke Sensors must be tested regularly according to this operating manual and local code. Ventilation systems, chimneys and potentially dangerous devices that can cause a fire should be regularly inspected as well.
There are various situations against which the fire alarm may not be effective, for example:
Current studies show that fire alarms may not awake all sleeping individuals and that it is the responsibility of other residents to assist those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be incapable of safely leaving the area unassisted.
NOTE
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus product and a Security Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor inclusion:
NOTE
It's recommended to install the sensor on the ceiling or upper portion of wall at least 40cm (2 feet) from corners and other objects. Particular attention should be paid to any adjacent objects or devices which can impede smoke's access to the sensor. It's recommended to install Fibaro Smoke Sensor in all rooms prone to fire, and in between such rooms as well.
Installing Fibaro Smoke Sensor:
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Fibaro Smoke Sensor's battery life is at least equal to two years.
The wake-up interval is recommended to be set at a default value (6 hours). In case of choosing a smaller value, the lifetime of a battery can decrease significantly.
The current battery level is displayed in the Z-Wave controller's interface, e.g. Home Center 2 or Home Center Lite. Red battery icon means that battery needs replacement. In addition, the device itself, apart from the main controller, monitors the battery level and a low battery is signaled with a yellow blinking visual indicator and an intermittent sound alarm. The Fibaro Smoke Sensor reports low battery level for at least 30 days until it is completely discharged.
Once a Fibaro Smoke Sensor has reported low battery level or battery is discharged, it should be replaced observing the following procedure:
Fibaro Smoke Sensor is equipped with dedicated safety mechanism which prevents closing the casing without installed battery.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor bottom view without the battery installed
Fibaro Smoke Sensor bottom view with the battery installed
It's strongly recommended to perform the self-test after each battery replacement to ensure correct device operation.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor responds to the physical presence of smoke. Smoke presence is required for the device to react. Fibaro Smoke Sensor every 10 seconds checks for smoke presence. Once the level of smoke exceeds value set in parameter 1, Fibaro Smoke Sensor triggers an alarm.
Fire alarm is signaled by sending an appropriate alarm command to devices, the Z-Wave controller and also by an intermittent sound and visual indicator blinking red. Once the fire alarm has ceased, the sensor checks whether the smoke has actually disappeared before getting back to normal operation, i.e. performing a self test each 10 seconds and checking for presence of smoke.
NOTE
As described in Fire Detection section, the Fibaro Smoke Sensor checks for smoke presence every 10 seconds. In addition, the device checks for malfunction and tests the Z-Wave network communication at each wake up interval (6 hours by default) and when sending reports, provided that range test has been enabled in advanced configuration.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a multiple use device, however, for greater safety, it's recommended to replace the device with a new one after a fire occurrence.
If fire alarm is triggered, but the level of smoke did not exceed concentration equal to three times of the sensitivity set in parameter 1 (the individual levels of sensitivity are printed on the device casing), user can mute sound alarm by holding the B-button (temporarily reducing the sensor's sensitivity). Visual indicator will still indicate an alarm state by blinking red. If smoke level concentration is greater than three times of the sensitivity set in parameter 1, mute will automatically turn off and the device will alarm fire again (using visual and audible indicator).
Apart from detecting presence of smoke, Fibaro Smoke Sensor has an additional function of informing of exceeding the programmed temperature threshold. The function is disabled by default in parameter 2 settings. Excess temperature warning is defined by user in parameter 30 - set to 55ºC by default. Excess temperature level can be also signaled by visual indicator glow (parameter 3) and short beep (parameter 4). Parameter 20 should not be set to 0 because such setting disables temperature measurements.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor can automatically detect a malfunction. As described in Fire Detection section, the device performs a test every 10 seconds. If malfunction is detected (e.g. damaged smoke chamber) an intermittent sound signal will start and alarm will be sent to the Z-Wave network controller.
Once trouble alarm has been detected, it's recommended to dismount the sensor and:
If a trouble alarm is continually reported, it's recommended to replace Fibaro Smoke Sensor with new one or contact with guarantor if the product warranty is still valid.
Self-test may be triggered manually:
Triggering fire alarm and beep mean positive result and should occur within 10 seconds. No fire alarm means that the sensor is malfunctioning.
When the self-test is triggered manually the Fibaro Smoke Sensor sends control command to the Z-Wave network controller. The procedure will be performed at least as long as the B-button is not released (will be completed in up to 10 seconds after releasing B-button).
Any service or repair must be carried out by the manufacturer. The expiry date of the device is indicated on its back.
When included in the Z-Wave network, Fibaro Smoke Sensor tests the network communication. By default the procedure is performed at each temperature report depending on parameters 20 and 21 settings. In addition, Z-Wave network communication test is performed during waking up. Lack of the Z-Wave network communication may be signaled by an intermittent alarm sound and visual indicator blinking violet. By default sound and visual signals are disabled but you can enable it by changing values of parameters 3 and 4 (Malfunction Detection section).
Once a Fibaro Smoke Sensor has reported no Z-Wave network communication, it's recommended to wake up the device by clicking the B-button. If it doesn't stop the alarm, Z-Wave networks operation and the main controllers operation need to be verified.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor will cancel the Z-Wave network communication alarm once it communicates with the network after manual or automatic wake up.
Optical smoke detector used in the Fibaro Smoke Sensor has 3 levels of sensitivity, compliant with EN 14604:2005. By default, the detector is set to the middle sensitivity level. Sensitivity level depends on the parameter 1 settings (modified only through the main Z-Wave controller).
Resetting the Fibaro Smoke Sensor erases the device memory, including all information on the Z-Wave network and the main controller.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor reset procedure:
Successful reset will be confirmed with the visual indicator changing colour to red and fading. At the same time, short beep will sound, same as at the power connection.
Please use this procedure only in the event that the system primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Reset procedure should remove Fibaro Smoke Sensor from the Z-Wave network main controller's memory (depending on the controller's version). Removing the device from the Z-Wave network will reset Fibaro Smoke Sensor automatically.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor has a built in smoke detector and a temperature sensor, which makes it a multi channel device. In the Home Center interface it will be presented as two devices, depending on the main controller software version:
Smoke Sensor icon in Fibaro Home Center
Smoke Sensor icon in Fibaro Home Center indicating the fire alarm
Temperature Sensor icon in Fibaro Home Center
Fibaro Smoke Sensor ignores incoming BASIC SET command and returns the status of alarm on BASIC GET command at the moment of wake up. (0 - no alarm, 255 - alarm active).
Through an association Fibaro Smoke Sensor may control another Z-Wave network device, e.g. a Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller, Wall Plug, or a scene (scene only through the main controller).
Association allows for direct communication between Z-Wave network devices. Main controller does not take part in such communication. Using this mechanism, Fibaro Smoke Sensor may communicate with other devices even when the main controller is damaged, e.g. in a fire.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor allows for the associations of five groups.
1st group – Lifeline. Reporting device state. Only one device - Z-Wave network controller may be set in this group. It's not recommended to modify this association group.
2nd group – Smoke Alarm. Sending the BASIC SET control command once smoke is detected. Its value may be modified in advanced parameters. Group may control up to five on/off devices.
3rd group – Tamper. Sending the notification NOTIFICATION REPORT (TYPE = BURGLAR, EVENT = PRODUCT COVERING REMOVED) to associated devices once casing opening is detected. Up to five devices supporting casing opening command (NOTIFICATION REPORT) may be included in this group.
4th group – Smoke Alarm. Sending the notification SENSOR ALARM REPORT (TYPE = SMOKE ALARM) to associated devices once smoke is detected. Up to five devices supporting SMOKE ALARM command may be included in this group
5th group – Tamper. Sending SENSOR ALARM REPORT notification (TYPE = GENERAL) to associated devices once casing opening is detected. Up to five devices supporting SENSOR ALARM REPORT command may be included in this group.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor allows for controlling 5 regular or 5 multichannel devices per an association group in groups 2-5 and one device in the 1st group.
To add an association (using Home Center interface) go to device settings and click the following icon:
Select the "Advanced" tab and specify to which group and what devices are to be associated. Sending relevant information configuring associations of the device may take up to a few hours depending on the previous configuration parameters settings. Wake up the device manually to speed up the configuration process.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is equipped with visual indicator for indicating and signaling sensor's operating modes and alarms. In addition the visual indicator may inform of the Z-Wave network range or exceeded temperature threshold.
Visual indicator modes:
To enter MENU, press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds.
Once the indicator glows white, release the B-button. Visual indicator will then start changing colours in sequence. Each colour means different MENU level. Transitions between the MENU levels will be signaled with a short beep as well. Press the B-button briefly to confirm choice.
Visual indicator colours will change in the following sequence:
WHITE - entering MENU + software update procedure,
GREEN - sending device state to associated devices,
VIOLET - Z-Wave range test,
YELLOW - device reset.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor indicates particular states as follows:
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network main controller's range tester. Follow the below instructions to test the main controller's range:
Z-Wave range tester signaling modes:
Visual indicator pulsing green - Fibaro Smoke Sensor attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, sensor will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signaled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green - Fibaro Smoke Sensor communicates with the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow - Fibaro Smoke Sensor tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules.
Visual indicator glowing yellow - Fibaro Smoke Sensor communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the sensor will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signaled with blinking in green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet - Fibaro Smoke Sensor communicates at the range limit. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It's not recommended to use the sensor at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red - Fibaro Smoke Sensor is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network nodes.
During the Z-Wave network range test, Fibaro Smoke Sensor is not detecting fire. Device resumes previous operation mode once the Z-Wave network range rest has been finished. Z-Wave range test may be enabled only by user.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor features remote software update. Complete the following steps to perform device update:
Update procedure needs to be performed twice in order to update the device completely.
If update fails or update time exceeds 10 minutes, please remove the battery, press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds, install the battery again and repeat an update procedure. If that does not work please contact our tech support team.
Controllers from various manufacturers can have different ways of activating the software update procedure (see controller's manual).
If the sensor has not completed the self-test successfully after the software update, please try to perform the test again. After two consecutive self-test attempts has failed, Fibaro Smoke Sensor is considered to be faulty and should be subject to service procedure.
Software update may be enabled only by user. During the update Fibaro Smoke Sensor does not detect fire. Once the software update is completed the device resumes normal operation.
NOTE
Update will not be performed if battery level is low.
NOTE
If parameter 2 value responsible for activation of casing opening notification has been set to active mode, please consider deactivating it for the upgrade procedure duration.
WAKE UP INTERVAL: (3 bytes)
Available settings: 0, 4200 - 65535 (4200s – 65535s)
Default setting: 21600 (21600s = 6h)
Wake up interval is specified in seconds. At each wake up Smoke Sensor communicates with the main controller, updates parameters settings and the software if necessary. The Smoke Sensor will wake up at defined time interval and will ALWAYS try to communicate with the main controller. After each failed communication attempt, the sensor will retry to establish connection with the main controller after 60 seconds. After 3 failed attempts, the lack of the Z-Wave range alarm will be triggered. Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life. The Z-Wave range alarm will be cancelled automatically, after first successful connection. Change of wake up interval value does not affect alarms or trouble signals operation.
Setting to 0 disables sending Wake Up Notification frame. Wake up may be still performed manually by a single B-button click or by sending Node Info frame (triple click the B-button).
