FAQ


Remotely Controlled Relay Switch of FIBARO System is designed to operate in a wall switch box or in locations where the control of an electric device is needed

The Relay Switch should be powered from 110-240V AC (50/60Hz).

The main difference between 2×1.5kW and 1×2.5kW is number of physical outputs and load capacity.

It can be any voltage up to 240V AC.

No. The Relay Switch needs to be connected to Neutral Wire. To control circuits where there is no Neutral wire at the switch location please refer to the Dimmer module.

Yes, you can – the relay is volt free by default.

Group 1 is assigned to S1, Group 2 is assigned to S2 and Group 3 is only used for reporting module’s state to the controller.

These terminals are designed to be connected to the switch. S1 is designed to control O1 output, S2 to control O2 output.

Installation

Connecting the device in a manner inconsistent with manual may cause risk to health, life or material damage.

When connecting the device act in accordance with the following rules:

  • Connect only in accordance with one of the diagrams
  • Electrical installation must be protected by overcurrent protection (fuse) of with a value not higher than 10A
  • The device should be installed in a wall switch box compliant with a relevant national safety standards and with depth no less than 60mm
  • Electrical switches used in installation should be compliant with the relevant safety standards
  • Length of wires used to connect the control switch should not exceed 20m

Notes for the diagrams:

S1 – terminalfor switch no. 1 (has the option of entering the device in learning mode)
S2 – terminalfor switch no. 2
IN – input terminal for load power supply
Q – output terminal of the device(controlling connectedload)
L – terminal for live lead
N – terminal for neutral lead
B – service button (used to add/remove the device)

Installation of the device:

  1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse)
  2. Open the wall switch box
  3. Connect with one of the diagrams below
  4. Verify correctness of connection
  5. Arrange the device and its antenna in a wall switch box
  6. Close the wall switch box
  7. Turn on the mains voltage
  8. Add the device to the Z-Wave network

Switch connected to the S1 terminal is a master switch. It activates the basic functionality of the device (turning on/off) 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. Functionality of the switches can be reversed by adjusting advanced parameter.

Operating alarm data frames

FIBARO System allows user to set response of devices to alarm situations (response to data-frames ALARM_REPORT and SENSOR_ALARM_REPORT). The device responds to the following types of alarms:

  • General Purpose Alarm – GENERAL PURPOSE ALARM
  • Smoke Alarm – ALARM CO2, ALARM CO, ALARM SMOKE
  • Water Flooding Alarm – ALARM WATER
  • Temperature Alarm – ALARM HEAT

Alarm data-frames are sent by devices that are system sensors (e.g., flood sensors, smoke detectors, motion detectors, etc.).

The device may respond in the following manner to received data-frames (settings are configured by the advanced parameters).

Controlling using an external switch

Momentary switch (after releasing the switch a spring automatically pushes back and disconnects the switch):

  • Turn the load ON/OFF: briefly press the button connected to the S1 terminal

Toggle switch (operates as a two-position switch, it has no spring that would set one position of the switch):

  • Turn the load ON/OFF: change the position of the button connected to the S1 terminal

Back To Top

ALL ON/ALL OFF

The device responds to commands ALL ON/ALL OFF that may be sent by the Z-Wave controller. ALL ON/ALL OFF commands are usually implemented in the remote controllers using Z-wave protocol, and they are used to issue commands directed to the entire system.

By default, both commands ALL ON and ALL OFF are accepted. Settings may be changed by modifying the value of parameter 1. In this way the user may determine to which commands the device should respond.

Why use a relay instead of a switch? ›

Relays are much more versatile than switches as they can handle different complex systems. From homes and electronics to various industries, relays can come in handy to assist in handling larger circuits.

What are the 2 basic types of relays? ›

There are a variety of different types of relays for a variety of different uses. The three most commonly used types are electromechanical relays (EMR), solid-state relays (SSR), and Reed relays.

How do you connect a relay to a circuit? ›

Pin 30 is the power supply for a relay, and pin 86 acts as the switch for that pin. 85 is the grounding pin and 87 is the pin connected to a device. When the power is switched on through pin 86, the circuit is closed, and the power source is connected through pin 30. This current then powers the device connected to 87.

How do you connect a power system relay? ›

Connect the relay's 30 terminal to the vehicle battery's positive terminal. Attach the relay's 85 terminal to a nearby grounding spot on the vehicle's engine or the battery's negative terminal. Connect the 86 terminal to the switch that energizes the relay and operates the device or accessory you want to hook up.
