Installation

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.

Wiring diagrams:

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.

Operating the device

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.

Reset

Reset procedureerasesmemory of the device, including all information on the Z-Wave network and the main controller.

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.

Resetting the device:

  1. Disconnect the power supply
  2. Remove thedevicefrom the wall switch box
  3. Connect the power supply
  4. Locate the B-button on the housing
  5. Press and hold the B-buttonfor 3 seconds
  6. After few seconds the device will be reset

Additional features

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).

Configuration

Associations

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

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.

FIBARO Relay Switchallows for the associations of three groups:

1st Association Group is assigned to S1 terminal– sending commandframes to the associated deviceswhenever button connected to S1 terminal is pressed.
2nd Association Group is assigned to S2 terminal – sending commandframes to the associated deviceswhenever button connected to S2 terminal is pressed.
3rd Association Group reports the device status and allows to assign single device only (the main controller by default).

FIBARO Relay Switch in 1st and 2nd group allows to control 5 regular and 5 multichannel devices per an association group. 3rd 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 device options by clicking the icon:Relay Switch - FIBARO Manuals (18)
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab
  3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated
  4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant information to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes.

Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.

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, only previous generation of the device was able to do so.

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.
