What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication
) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin
as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer

Product Description

The Fibar Insert Motor Control allows controlling motors for jalousies and blinds both via Z-Wave wirelessly and locally utilizing a traditional wall switch. The device is placed in a wall box right behind the normal switch. The switch is not longer directly connected to the load but acts as input device for the Fibar insert that is controlling the load. The solution works with all switch design with or without neutral position as long as there is enough space in the wall box behind the switch. The device is just 15 mm height. The available space depends on the size of the traditional switch, the dimensions of the wall box and the amount of additional cabling placed in this box. This device is designed for a 3 wire system and needs a neutral wire in the wall box.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state.
Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Installation

The motor control insert is designed to fit into standard circular European wall boxes with 60 mm diameter. With its 15 mm height, it can be also mounted behind traditional wall switches. This wall switch serves as an external control switch to controll loads. The relays are realized in the insert.

The inserts contacts N and L are connected directly with the mains distribution of the power network. The three wires of the motor are connected like shown in the figure below.

The motor control can be operated locally using a switching paddle installed on the wall box. To connect the switching paddle with the insert it has to be connected with the insert contacts S1, S2 and Sx. Attention: There must not be mains-power connected to the insert contacts. This would immediately lead to a destruction of the insert..

The local operation can be realized by a double switching paddle (bistable) or a double button (monostable). The connected switch type must be selected according to the inclusion by setting the configuration parameter 14. The local switch is connected with the motor control insert as shown in the schematics. If a bistable switch is connected it has to stay connected until the motor control insert is included into the Z-Wave network.

Attention: The switch insert has an automatic endposition identification. This requires that the insert is connected with a tube motor with endposition switches. A test operation without motor leads to a wrong behavior.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode tripple click one of the buttons on the device will include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by tripple click to one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode.

Exclusion

Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode tripple click one of the buttons on the device will include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by tripple click to one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode.

Product Usage

The shutter control insert allows you to control 230 V tubular motors. The actuator can directly be operated by the local switching paddle. If the switch is a conventional button, every button impulse will switch the device on or off. Using a switching paddle instead of a button the operation is the same with the exception that the switching paddle has to be switched back into the OFF status afterwards manually. One switching paddle of the double switch drives the motor in the one and the other paddle in the other end position.

The device is also able to report status changes to a controller (communication pattern 2) and to remotely operate other devices (communication pattern 5). The dimmer can be controlled by every Z-Wave device (communication pattern 1, 4 and 7). To operate other devices a second switch which does not operate the dimmer is needed.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

3| 1|
---|---|---
2| 16| external Switch No 2
1| 16| external Switch No 1

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.
