GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FIBARO SYSTEM

FIBARO is a wireless system, based on Z-Wave technology. FIBARO provides many advantages when compared to similar systems. In general, radio systems create a direct connection between the receiver and transmitter. But the radio signal is weakened by various obstacles located on its path (apartment walls, furniture, etc.) and in extreme cases it fails to transfer required data. The advantage of FIBARO system is that its devices apart from being transmitters and receivers of signals, they are also a signal "duplicators". When a direct connection path between the transmitter and the receiver can not be established, the connection may be achieved through other intermediate devices.

FIBARO is a bi-directional wireless system. It means that the signal is not only sent to the receivers but also the receivers send the confirmation of its reception. This operation confirms their status so to check whether they are active. Safety of the FIBARO system transmission is comparable to the safety of transmission in data bus wired systems.

FIBARO operates in the free band for data transmission at 868MHz frequency. Every FIBARO system has its own unique identification number (home ID). Therefore, it is possible to operate two or more independent systems in one building without any interference.

Although Z-Wave is quite new technology, it has already become recognizable and officially binding standard, similarly to Wi-Fi. Many manufacturers in various industries offer solutions based on Z-Wave technology, guaranteeing their compatibility. This means that the system is open and it may be extended in the future. Find more information at www.fibaro.com.

FIBARO generates a dynamic network structure. After FIBARO system is switched on, the location of its individual components is automatically updated in real-time through status confirmation signals received from devices operating in a "mesh" network.

The In-Wall Relay Switch is hereinafter referred to as Fibaro Switch. It is designed to switch on/off devices connected to its terminals using radio waves, controllers and a push button directly connected to Fibaro Switch.

Fig.1 Circuit diagrams for Fibaro Switch.

NOTES FOR THE DIAGRAM:

N - neutral lead

L - live lead

I - input terminal for load power supply

O - output terminal of the load

S2 - terminal for key no. 2

S1 – terminal for key no. 1 (has the option of entering the device in learning mode)

B- service button (used to add or remove a device from the system)

Note!
It is possible to supply the load with voltage other than the power supply to Fibaro switch (e.g. different phase or voltage or even DC. Detailed data are contained in specifications and diagrams of Figure 1).

Durability of the device depends on applied load. For resistive load (light bulbs, etc.) and 16A current, the durability exceeds 200 000 switches. For inductive load, e.g. fluorescent lamp with cosᵠ = 0.6 the flowing current should be limited to approx. 12A to ensure reliable operation of the device for similar long period.

TIPS FOR ARRANGING THE ANTENNA:

Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as possible (connecting wires, bracket rings, etc.) in order to prevent interferences.

Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna (e.g. flush mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) may impair signal reception!

Do not cut or shorten the antenna - its length is perfectly matched to the band in which the system operates

Note!
It should be noted that only the push-button connected to S1 terminal and service push-button B enables "learning" mode (Include/ Exclude).

DICTIONARY:

• INCLUSION (Adding) - a device sends "Node Info" frame, to enable user to add it to Fibaro system (Home Center)
• EXCLUSION (Removing) - removing a device from the Fibaro radio system
• ASSOCIATION - controlling other devices of system Fibaro system
• MultiChannelAssociation - controlling other multichannel devices of Fibaro system

Activating Fibaro Switch

Installing the Fibaro Switch

STEP 1
Connect the device in accordance with the circuit diagram presented in Figure 1. Switch on 230V of the mains voltage.

[Adding/ Removing] Fibaro Switch [to/ from] Z-wave network

STEP 2
Fibaro Switch must be placed within the range of Home Center controller, as adding mode requires direct communication with the controller.

STEP 3
Find key no. 1 which allows to switch circuit 1 on, in accordance with the diagram

STEP 4
Set the Home Center controller in add/remove mode (see the controller's manual)

STEP 5
Add Fibaro Switch to the network by pushing three times (sat) key no. or push-button B located inside the housing of the device. For bi-stable switch perform 3 position changes.

Fibaro Switch cancels the "learning" mode after key no. 1 is pressed once. Therefore, pressing key no. 1 four times will not add the devices to the network. The same applies to push-button B.

Fibaro Switch is set by default to operate with mono-stable switches (i.e. single-pole switch or bell switch). While adding Fibaro Switch to the network with bi-stable switches, ensure that all switch contacts are open (off), because closing them results in activating the push-button and this will prevent adding the device to the network.

During the installation it is recommended to use a mono-stable keys or push- button B.

STEP 6
The controller indicates that when the device is correctly added to the network, (see the manual of Home Center controller).

Resetting Fibaro Switch

Fibaro Switch provides two methods for resetting.

Method I: Reset by removing Fibaro Switch from the existing Z-Wave network. The device may be removed using the controller that has the ability to include/exclude devices from/to Z-Wave network (see the manual of controller).

Method II : Within 5 sec. after connecting mains voltage supply Fibaro Switch allows the user to reset settings by single pressing S1 key and then holding key S2

Controlling Fibaro Switch by mono-stable or bi-stable switches

mono-stable switch (after releasing the push-button a spring automatically pushes back and disconnects the button )

• Turning on/off circuit 1 or 2 - briefly press the push-button corresponding to a chosen circuit (see diagram).

bi-stable switch (operates as a two-position switch, it has no spring that would push back the device after releasing manual pressure)

• Turning on/off the circuit - change the position of selected push-button from the current position.

Controlling Fibaro Switch using a command: ALL ON / ALL OFF

Fibaro Switch responds to commands ALL ON / ALL OFF that may be sent by the controller. ALL ON / ALL OFF commands are usually implemented in Z-Wave remote control.

By default, Fibaro Switch accepts both active commands ALL ON and ALL OFF. Settings may be changed by entering an appropriate value into configuration register no. 1 (see configuration)

Controlling Fibaro Switch using Home Center controller

After adding Fibaro Switch to the network, it will be represented in Home Center by the following icon:

Resetting Fibaro Switch

Fibaro Switch provides two methods for resetting.

Turning on/off the device connected to Fibaro Switch is performed by pressing ON/OFF icon.

Fig. 2 Icon of Fibaro Switch shown by Home Center controller

By default, FGS211 device has a second hidden icon.

It represents the second, virtual channel of the device triggered by the second key. The user may add the association to this channel or trigger a scene.

Association

Association enables Fibaro Switch to directly control a device included in Z-Wave network e.g. Dimmer, Switch (ON-OFF), Roller Shutter or scene (scene may be controlled only through the Home Center controller).

Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, and is performed without participation of the main controller.

Fibaro Switch provides association of three groups.

1st group is assigned to key no. 1

2nd group is assigned to key no. 2

3rd for controllers such Home Center for state reporting

Fibaro Switch enables user to control up to 16 normal devices, and 7 MultiChannel devices in group no. 1 and no. 2, group no. 3 has only one field. The first field in each group is reserved for the network controller. It is recommended to use up to 10 devices, as the time required by the device to send a command to each associated device may be quite long.

To add an association (using the Home Center controller), go to device options by clicking the following icon:

Select the "device options" tab. Then specify to which group and what devices are to be associated. Sending relevant information to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes.

When Fibaro Switch sends control commands and a new command is issued, then the current one command transmission is interrupted to send new commands.

FGS211 Fibaro Switch supports the operation of multi-channel devices. Multichannel devices are devices that include two or more circuits inside one physical unit.
