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.

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

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
• Do not connect DC powered motors, Roller Shutter 2 is dedicated to operate AC powered electric motors
• Do not connect the device to loads exceeding recommended values
• 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 

Venetian blind slats may be only operated by momentary switches.

Notes for the diagrams:

L – terminal for live lead
N – terminal for neutral lead
S1 – terminal for switch no. 1 (has the option of entering the device in learning mode)
S2 – terminal for switch no. 2
Q1 – first output terminal for shutter motor
Q2 – second output terminal for shutter motor
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
9. If necessary, calibrate the module

Switch connected to the S1 terminal operates the Q1 output, while the push button connected to the S2 terminal operates the Q2 output. It is recommended to connect an UP button to the S1 terminal and a wire, responsible of up movement, to the Q1 output terminal. Respectively, a DOWN button should be connected to the S2 terminal and a wire, responsible for down movement, to Q2 the output terminal.

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. Quickly, three times press switch no. 1 or the B-button

Exclusion

1. Quickly, three times press switch no. 1 or the B-button

Product Usage

Manual operation

FIBARO Roller Shutter 2 allows for connecting push buttons to the S1 and S2 terminals. These may be momentary or toggle switches, alternatively. Push buttons are responsible for managing the blind’s movement.

Using momentary switches:

• Clicking up button connected to the S1 terminal, initiates up movement.
• Clicking down button connected to the S2 terminal, initiates down movement.

If the blind is moving, each click, of any button, will stop the movement. In addition a button click sends a command frame to 1st association group devices.

In case of venetian blinds it is possible to manage the slats angle. Operating Mode – Venetian Blind, or Parameter 10 value set to 2.

• Holding up button connected to the S1 terminal initiates slats rotation up.
• Holding down button connected to the S2 terminal initiates slats rotation down.

In addition a button hold sends a Fibar Command Class control frame to 2nd association group devices.

Using toggle switches:

• Changing up button position connected to the S1 terminal, initiates up movement.
• Changing down button position connected to the S2 terminal, initiates down movement.
• Choosing a middle position stops the blind.

Menu

FIBARO Roller Shutter 2 has a MENU with each position indicated by the specified LED indicator colour.

In order to enter the menu press the B-button and hold for at least 2 seconds. While the B-button is still pressed, LED indicator colour will change in the following sequence:

• BLUE – initiate the load calibration procedure
• GREEN – reset the energy consumption data memory
• VIOLET – initiate the Z-Wave network range test
• YELLOW – reset the Roller Shutter 2 to factory defaults

Release the B-button to choose the desired function and confirm your choice with the B-button click.

Positioning calibration

Calibration is a process during which a Roller Shutter learns the position of the limit switches and a motor characteristic. Calibration is mandatory in order for the Roller Shutter to correctly recognize a roller blind position. The procedure consists of an automatic, full movement between the limit switches (up, down, and up again). There are separate procedures of calibrating roller blind and slats (venetian blind) positioning. Each time the calibration requires the completion of a full cycle (up and down).

To abort the calibration process press any button (connected to S1 or S2) or send a STOP control frame through the Z-Wave network controller. In Gate Controller mode the calibration process will be aborted after disconnecting the S2 terminal.
In Venatian Blind mode, slats need to be calibrated to work with any given motor.
Venetian blind slats may be only operated by momentary switches.

Calibration through a Fibar Command Class control frame

It is possible to force the calibration process execution through sending a Fibar Command Class control frame through a Z-Wave network main controller.

Slats positioning calibration in venetian blinds

Apart from calibrating the roller blind position, it is possible to calibrate the position of venetian blinds slats. After correct calibration, in case of venetian blinds, it is possible to set the position between the limit switches, as well as the slats angle. By default, time of full turn of the slats is set to 1.5 seconds. To modify settings

1. Make sure the module is supplied
2. Add the device to the Z-Wave network
3. Calibrate the device normally
4. Set the parameter 10 value to 2 or choose in the Home Center interface: Device Type – Venetian Blind
5. Another device icon, responsible for slats operation, will show up in the Home Center interface.
6. In case of any other Z-Wave network controllers managing the slats position is achieved through pressing and holding a switch key (up or down).
7. By default, time of transition between extreme positions is set to 1 500 ms (1.5 seconds).
8. Turn slats between extreme positions. If after full cycle a blind starts moving up or down, then parameter’s 12 value must be modified, e.g. to 1 000ms (1 second).
9. Correctly configured slats should not force the blind to move up or down.

Operating gate motors

FIBARO Roller Shutter 2 allows to operate gate motors. Gate motor should be connected to Q1 and Q2 terminals according to installation diagram. In the Gate Mode, a momentary switch may be connected to S1 terminal. It is recommended to connect an IR barrier, an emergency stop button or any alarm mechanism to S2 terminal. Opening a contact in a device connected to S2 terminal will always result in stopping a motor in current position.

Clicking a push button connected to S1 terminal will initiate opening the gate. Next click of a button will stop the gate. Yet another click of a button will close the gate. According to following seaquence: OPEN → STOP → CLOSE → STOP → OPEN.

In Gate Mode, by default, the S1 terminal is set to operate with a momentary switch, ignoring the settings of parameter 14.

Full opening the gate initiates a Roller Shutter 2 COUNTDOWN. After the COUNTDOWN the gate will start closing. COUNTDOWN length is set through the parameter 12. In addition, if the IR barrier is cut (S2 contact opened) at the gate fully open, the gate will start closing after a time period specified in parameter 17.

In both Gate Modes, with and without positioning, parameters 12 and 17 are automatically set to 0. At these settings the gate will open, but will not automatically close. Relevant times need to be set manually in parameters 12 and 17.

Parameters 12 and 17 settings are automatically modified only in Home Center controller, when choosing one of Gate Modes. In case of controllers from other manufacturers these parameters need to be set manually.

Installation of the gate driver may be performed only by certified professionals. The motor must be equipped with the appropriate limit switches. It is recommended to connect a NC (normally closed) contact of an IR barrier to S2 terminal. Opening the contact will stop the gate. In addition, it’s recommened to connect an emergency stop button to the motors neutral (N) wire. In emergency, pushing the emergency stop button will cut the power and stop the gate. It is recomended to monitor regulary operation of FIBARO Roller Shutter 2 in all modes. Also it is recomended to regulary verificate and maintenance connectors.

S1 and S2 terminals react to mains voltage only. Using IR barriers with NC contacts operating on lower voltages require using an additional relay.

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| 5| is assigned to the external switch – sending command frames to the associated devices whenever momentary switch is clicked or position of toggle switch is changed
---|---|---
2| 5| is assigned to the external switch – sending command frames to the associated devices whenever momentary switch is hold
3| 1| Lifeline reports the device status and allows to assign single device only (the main controller by default).

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.
