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.

FIBARO Switch 2 allows to control connected devices either via the Z-Wave+ network or via a switch connected directly to it and is equipped with active power and energy consumption metering functionality.

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.

1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
2. Remove the Switch 2 from the wall switch box.
3. Switch on the mains voltage.
4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.

7. Close the wall switch box and turn on the mains voltage.

Switch connected to the S1 terminal is a master switch. It activates the basic functionality of the device (turning the first load on/off) and activates the learning mode (adding/removing). The switch connected to the S2 terminal turns on/of the second load in Double Switch 2, but is optional in Single Switch 2 and pushing it will not affect the status of the device.

After switching on the mains voltage LED indicator will signal Z-Wave network inclusion state with a colour:
GREEN” – device added
RED” – device not added

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.

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

1. Place the Switch 2 within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
2. Identify the S1 switch.
3. Set the main controller in (security/non-security) add mode (see the controller’s manual).
4. Quickly, three times press the S1 switch or B-button
5. Wait for the adding process to end.
6. Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message.

Exclusion

1. Place the Switch 2 within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
2. Identify the S1 switch.
3. Set the main controller in remove mode (see the controller’s manual).
4. Quickly, three times press the S1 switch or B-button
5. Wait for the removing process to end.
6. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message.

Auto-Inclusion

Beside the standard inclusion this devices supports the so called auto inclusion.
Right after powering up the device remains in inclusion state and can be included by
(any) gateway without further actions on the device itself. The auto inclusion mode will
time out after some time.

Power and energy consumption

The Switch 2 allows for the” active power and energy consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. Home Center.

Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision (+/- 1% for loads greater than 5W).

Electric active power” â€“ power that energy receiver is changing into a work or a heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W].

Electric energy” â€“ energy consumed by a device through a time period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by suppliers on the basis of active power used in given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt- hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000Wh.

”

The Switch 2 require the power consumption of connected load equal to 5W or greater to correctly measure the power and energy.

Power measurement can contain mains voltage fluctuations within +/- 10%.

The Switch 2 stores periodically (every hour) the consumption data in the device memory. Disconnecting the module from the power supply will not erase stored energy consumption data.

Resetting consumption memory:
The Switch 2 allows to erase stored consumption data in three ways:

”

• Using functionality of a Z-Wave controller (see the controller’s manual).
• Manually clearing the data using the following procedure:
  1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
  2. Remove the Switch 2 from the wall switch box.
  3. Switch on the mains voltage.
  4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
  5. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow green.
  6. Quickly release and click the B-button again.
  7. Energy consumption memory will be erased.
• By resetting the device.

Overheat and overcurrent protection

The Switch 2 after detecting” overheat” or” overcurrent” will:

• switch off its relay/relays,
• send information about switching off the relay/relays to the controller,
• send Notification Report to the controller (Heat Alarm for overheat, Power Management for overcurrent).

Range test

The Switch 2 has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s” range tester.

To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:

1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
2. Remove the Switch 2 from the wall switch box.
3. Switch on the mains voltage.
4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
5. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow violet.
6. Quickly release and click the B-button again.
7. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below).
8. To exit Z-Wave range test, click the B-button.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

• Visual indicator pulsing green” â€“ the Switch 2 attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
• Visual indicator glowing green” â€“ the Switch 2 communicates with the main controller directly.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow” â€“ the Switch 2 tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow” â€“ the Switch 2 communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet” â€“ the Switch 2 does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red” â€“ the Switch 2 is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

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

1| 1| “Lifeline” ” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
---|---|---
2| 5| “On/Off (S1)” ” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Basic command class).
3| 5| “Dimmer (S1)” ” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
4| 5| “On/Off (S2)” ” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Basic command class).
5| 5| “Dimmer (S2)” ” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).

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.
