Quickstart

This is a ****

On/Off Power Switch
for
Europe.

To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.

The inclusion of the device is confirmed by a tripple click on the button. Additionally the device supports the autoinclusion function and will confirm inclusion when not manually included and plugged into an outlet. A red light on the LED ring confirms inclusion. The exclusion follows the same process but is recommended to use the Reset function to remove devices from the network.

Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law.
The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions.

Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.

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.

Product Description

The Fibar plug with power metering function is a very compact stylish and intelligent remotely operable plug for wall outlets of Type E. It can be applied to switch loads up to 2500 W and will meter the acutal and accumulated power consumption of this load. A LED ring right on the device is used to indicate switching and power load stages or general alarm conditions, but can not be tuned up to all colors of the LED spectrum.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

To reset the plug and delete all settings, plug the device into the outlet and keep the button on the devices pushed for about 15…20 seconds until the LED ring starts to shine yellow. Now release the button and tip the button again shortly. The LED lights red to confirm the reset.

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 plug can be plugged into every wall outlet for Plug-Type E. It is IP20 rated and can therefore only be used in dry environments. Do not locate the device facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty place. The suitable ambient temperature for the device is 0°C ~ 40°C. Plugs must not be stacked and operated.

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

The inclusion of the device is confirmed by a tripple click on the button. Additionally the device supports the autoinclusion function and will confirm inclusion when not manually included and plugged into an outlet. A red light on the LED ring confirms inclusion. The exclusion follows the same process but is recommended to use the Reset function to remove devices from the network.

Exclusion

The inclusion of the device is confirmed by a tripple click on the button. Additionally the device supports the autoinclusion function and will confirm inclusion when not manually included and plugged into an outlet. A red light on the LED ring confirms inclusion. The exclusion follows the same process but is recommended to use the Reset function to remove devices from the network.

Product Usage

The device is operared by the little button on the device or by wireless Z-Wave commands. The function of the LED ring can be defined using configuration parameters. It is possible to signal overcurrent or general alarm conditions of the Z-Wave network. In parallel the device indicates with purple light, when the ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C.

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:

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.

Parameter 1: Always On Function

Once activated, Wall Plug will keep a connected device constantly ON, will stop reacting to alarm frames and B-button push

SettingDescription

Parameter 16: Remember device status after power failure

Define how will the Plug react after the power supply is back on
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 01

SettingDescription

SettingDescription

Parameter 40: Immediate Power Report

Parameter defines by how much power load must change, in percents, to be reported to the main controller, with the highest priority in the Z-Wave network.

Frequent reporting may overload the Z-Wave network so these parameters settings should reflect significant changes in power load only.

  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
