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

Fibaro Wall Plug is a universal, Z-Wave compatible, relay switch in the form of a socket adapter. The Plug may be used to operate any device up to 2,500W power output. The Plug features power consumption measuring and uses a crystal LED ring to visualize the current load by color changing illumination. Fibaro Wall Plug may be operated using the service button located on its casing, or via any Z-Wave compatible controller.

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.

• Insert the Plug into a socket.
• Press and hold the B button for 15 – 20 seconds until LED ring glows yellow
• Release the B button.
• Press the B button, briefly.

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

1. Insert device into a socket.
2. Add device into the Z-Wave network if necessary.
3. Connect load to the Plug, making sure it does not exceed 2500W.
4. Set the connected device switch to ON.
5. To turn on connected device manually turn on the Plug using B button. (Alternative to remote control via Z-Wave controller) Once the Plug is turned on, LED ring will glow.
6. Current power load is visualized with LED ring color.
7. Press B button to turn off the Plug manually.
8. Once the Plug is turned off, LED ring illumination is turned off as well.

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

•  Triple click the B button

Exclusion

•  Triple click the B button

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.

Product Usage

Range test

FIBARO Wall Plug has a built-in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.

NOTE: 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. Insert the device into a socket
2. Press and hold the B-button until the visual indicator glows violet
3. Release the B-button
4. Press the B-button again, briefly
5. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below)
6. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

• Visual indicator pulsing green – Wall Plug 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 – Wall Plug communicates with the main controller directly.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow – Wall Plug tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow – Wall Plug 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 – Wall Plug does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It is not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red – Wall Plug is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Visual LED indicator

FIBARO Wall Plug is equipped with a colour changing LED ring, signalling operating status and connected devices power. Colours shown are those of a RGB scheme. In addition, the LED ring signals Plugs range in relation to the Z-Wave networks main controller and overheating protection activation

Visual indicator signalling modes:

• Wall Plug status (On/Off) signalled with a color defined by relevant parameter settings (see parameters no. 60, 61, 62).
• Alarm status signalled according to parameters 63 settings.
• Energy meter reset signalled by double, green blink.
• Once inserted to mains socket, LED ring signals Z-Wave network inclusion status. Single green blink means it’s included. Single red blink means Plug has not been included in the Z-Wave network.
• Blinking yellow means memory write during software update process.
• Alternating blinking, yellow / red, signals overheating warning (overload).

 Menu

FIBARO Wall Plug has a MENU with each position indicated by the specified LED ring 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 ring indicator colour will change in the following sequence:

• WHITE – activate/deactivate LED ring indications
• GREEN – reset the energy consumption data memory
• VIOLET – initiate the Z-Wave network range test
• YELLOW – reset the Wall Plug to factory defaults

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

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action:

Wakeup Description FIBARO Wall Plug is powered with mains voltage so it is always awake.

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 device status – sending command frames to the associated devices whenever the Wall Plug is turned ON or OFF via B-button.
---|---|---
2| 5|  is assigned to the measured active power – sending command frames to the associated devices depending on the measured load (configured via advanced parameters 50, 51 and 52)
3| 1| 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.

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.

“Always on” function turns the Plug into a power and energy meter. Also, connected device will not be turned off upon receiving an alarm frame from another Z-Wave device (parameter 35 will be ignored).

In “Always on” mode, connected device may be turned off only after user defined power has been exceeded (parameter 70). In such a case, connected device can be turned on again by pushing the B-button or sending a control frame. By default, overload protection is inactive.

Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

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: 1

SettingDescription

0| Wall Plug does not memorize its state after a power failure. Connected device will be off after the power supply is reconnected.
---|---
1| Wall Plug memorizes its state after a power failure.

Parameter 34: Reaction to alarms

Z-Wave network alarm will be signalled by LED ring according to the parameter 63 settings. Blinking in Red/Blue/White is a default setting.
Connected device state will be changed according to the parameter 35 settings. By default, connected device state will remain unchanged.
Wall Plug will be signaling an alarm through the time period specified in the parameter 39 (10 minutes by default), unless the alarm is cancelled earlier. In addition Wall Plug may exit the alarm mode after the B-button has been pressed and held for 2 – 5 seconds.

Define Z-Wave network alarms to which the Wall Plug will respond.
Note:  If Always On function is active (parameter 1), this parameters settings are ignored.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 63

SettingDescription

0 – 63| Calculate value of the parameter: 1 – general alarm 2 – smoke alarm 4 – CO alarm 8 – CO2 alarm 16 – high temperature alarm 32 – flood alarm
---|---

Parameter 35: Wall Plugs response to alarm frames

Parameter defines how the Wall Plug will respond to alarms (device’s status change)
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

period (parameter 39) or untill the alarm is cancelled
2| turn off connected device. LED ring signals an alarm through defined time period (parameter 39) or untill the alarm is cancelled
3| cyclically change device state, each 1second. In alarm mode Wall Plug does not report status change, power changes, ignores alarm frames. After the defined time period has passed (parameter 39) or after the alarm cancellation, connected device is set to the previous state

Parameter 39: Alarm duration

Wall Plug’s alarm mode duration. If a device sending an alarm frame through the Z-Wave network sets alarm duration as well, this parameter’s settings are ignored.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 600

SettingDescription

Parameter 40: Immediate power report

Reports on power load, sent to the main controller. Default settings of below parameters are chosen in such a way that instantaneous power load is shown without blocking the Z-Wave network in the process. Default settings are good for most of the devices. In specific cases it may be necessary to modify default settings in order to optimize Z-Wave network’s use.
Fibaro Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency. Below configuration parameters allow to specify how and how frequently power load will be reported.

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. By default, Wall Plug immediately sends power report if the power load changes by 80%. Value of 100 (%) means the reports are turned off.
NOTE: In extreme cases, reports may be sent every second if rapid and significant power load changes occur. Frequent reporting may overload the Z-Wave network so these parameters settings should reflect significant changes in power load only.

Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 80

SettingDescription

Parameter 42: Standard power load reporting

Parameter defines by how much power load must change, in percents, to be reported to the main controller. By default, Wall Plug sends power report if the power load changes by 15%.
By default such changes in power load may be reported up to 5 times per 30 seconds. Wall Plug sends 5 reports during time period specified in paramater 43.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 15
