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

FIBARO Radiator Thermostat (Z-Wave) is a remotely controlled thermostatic head to control temperature in your room. It measures the temperature and automatically adjusts the heat level. It can be mounted without tools on three types of thermostatic radiator valves. You can create schedules via app to easily manage temperature throughout the week.

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.

– Use the included key to press and hold the button
– Release the button when you see yellow LED colour.
– Click the button to confirm the selection.
– After finishing resetting the device will be put in Standby Mode. Click the button to activate it again.

Do not cover or veil the thermostatic head.

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. Use the included key to quickly triple click the button on the thermostatic head.

Exclusion

1. Use the included key to quickly triple click the button on the thermostatic head.

Product Usage

Controlling the temperature

You can set temperature using app (10-30″°C) or directly on the device (16-24″°C).

During manual temperature change LED ring colour corresponds to the temperature set-point.

To check and change the temperature on the device:

1. Bring your hand close to the sphere.
2. LED ring will:

1. 1.       * Glow if temperature was set manually,

   • Pulse slowly if device is in schedule mode,
   • Pulse quickly if device is in override schedule mode.

With colour depending on set temperature:

3. Turn the sphere counter-clockwise to lower temperature or turn clockwise to raise the temperature
4.” Remove the hand from the sphere, after 5 seconds LED will fade and new temperature will be set.

If device is currently during normal schedule, setting temperature manually will set Override Schedule.

Menu

Menu ” allows to perform important configuration and maintenance actions.

In order to use the menu:

1.Use the included key to press and hold the button.

2. Release the button when you see desired LED colour

3. Click the button to confirm the selection.

”  Local protection

“

After enabling the local protection changing temperature directly on the device (by turning it) will not be possible.

Enabling local protection is recommended if you want to prevent accidental temperature change, e.g. by children.

When attempting to change temperature if local protection is enabled:

• The device will not set new target temperature,
• The LED ring will blink red 3 times.

To change the temperature use the app or disable the local protection.

Local protection can also be enabled/disabled using Z-Wave protocol Command Class Protection

Standby mode

In”  Standby Mode ” the device is in deep sleep state allowing safe dismounting, transporting and low as possible battery consumption.
The device is shipped in Standby Mode.

Entering the device in Standby Mode will not factory reset the device nor will result in loosing any data.

To ” exit Standby Mode ” click the button once, the device will enter first installation procedure.

Battery and charging

The device is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery pack that can be charged via micro-USB port using standard 5V charger (not included).

When battery is low the LED ring will start to blink red. The device will also report low battery status of itself and dedicated temperature sensor (if paired) to the controller.

Make sure you are using certified charger Class II, which complies with parameters specified in the manual.

Do not leave the device unattended while charging.

Do not use cables longer than 3 meters for charging the device.

“

To charge the battery:

1. Connect charger to the micro-USB port.
2. During charging the LED ring will pulse red and valve control will be disabled.
3. When LED starts pulsing green, disconnect the charger.
4. The device will restore its previous operation.

Normal Schedules

“

The device allows to create multiple”  heating schedules ” to manage temperature in the room throughout the week. Schedules are created via controller interface or app.

• Up to 253 normal schedules can be created,
• The lower the schedule ID number, the higher the priority,
• Schedules with higher priority override those with lower priority in case of overlapping schedules,
• Schedules can be disabled without deleting it,
• Schedules allow to set target temperature, fully open the valve or fully close the valve.

To create normal schedules user must specify:

• Day of the week,
• Starting time (hour and minute),
• Duration,
• Temperature setpoint in range 10-30″°C (for HEAT mode),
• One of the operating modes:
  • HEAT for setting temperature,
  • OFF for valve fully closed,
  • MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC for valve fully opened.

Override Schedule

Override Schedule ” is a special type schedule that has the highest priority; thus it overrides other schedules.

The Override Schedule starts right after setting and lasts for specified time, then it is removed and current schedule or normal operation is restored.

To create Override Schedule user must specify:

• Duration,
• Temperature setpoint in range 10-30″°C (for HEAT mode),
• One of the operating modes:
  • HEAT for setting temperature,
  • OFF for valve fully closed,
  • MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC for valve fully opened.

Override Mode can be”  enabled ” in two ways:

• By turning the knob, while normal schedule is active. The LED ring will pulse with selected adjustment.
• Via controller, by creating schedule with ID set 255, start time set to NOW and duration (in minutes/hours/days).

To”  exit ” Override Mode grab knob with your hand for 5 seconds.

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: Override Schedule duration

Parameter 2: Additional functions

This parameter allows to enable different additional functions of the device.
Parameter 2 values may be combined, e.g. 1+8=9 means that Open Window Detector and LED indications when controlling remotely are enabled.
