Technical Information

FIBARO  is  a  wireless  system,  based  on  Z-Wave  technology. 

FIBARO provides many advantages when compared to similar 

systems. In general, radio systems create a direct connection 

between  the  receiver  and  transmitter.  But  the  radio  signal  is 

weakened by various obstacles located on its path (apartment walls, 

furniture, etc.) and in extreme cases it fails to transfer required data. 

The advantage of FIBARO system is that its devices apart from 

being transmitters and receivers of signals, they are also a signal 

"duplicators". When a direct connection path between the transmitter 

and  the  receiver  can  not  be  established,  the  connection  may  be 

achieved through other intermediate devices.

FIBARO is a bi-directional wireless system. It means that the signal 

is  not  only  sent  to  the  receivers  but  also  the  receivers  send  the 

confirmation of its reception. This operation confirms their status so 

to check whether they are active. Safety of the FIBARO system 

transmission is comparable to the safety of transmission in data bus 

wired systems. 

FIBARO operates in the free band for data transmission at 868MHz 

frequency. Every FIBARO system has its own unique identification 

number (home ID). Therefore, it is possible to operate two or more 

independent systems in one building without any interference.

Although  Z-Wave  is  quite  new  technology,  it  has  already  become 

recognizable and officially binding standard, similarly to Wi-Fi. Many 

manufacturers in various industries offer solutions based on Z-Wave 

technology,  guaranteeing  their  compatibility.  This  means  that  the 

system  is  open  and  it  may  be  extended  in  the  future.  Find  more 

information at www.fibaro.com.

FIBARO generates a dynamic network structure. After FIBARO 

system is switched on, the location of its individual components is 

automatically  updated  in  real-time  through  status  confirmation 

signals received from devices operating in a "mesh" network.

The  in-wall  Roller  Shutter  Controller  is  hereinafter  referred  to  as 

Fibaro  Roller  Controller.  It  is  designed  to  switch  rise/lower  roller 

shutter connected to its terminals using radio waves, controllers and 

a push button directly connected to Fibaro Roller Controller. 

1. Before installation ensure that the voltage supply is 

disconnected.

2. Connect the Roller Shutter Controller in accordance with the 

diagram on Fig. 1

3. Place the device in the electrical box.

4. Arrange the antenna (tips are presented below diagrams of

self-learning mode)

S2 - terminal for key No. 2

O1 - output terminal no. 1 for shutter motor 

O2 - output terminal no. 2 for shutter motor 

B - service button (used to add or remove a device from the system)

Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as 

possible  (connecting  wires,  bracket  rings,  etc.)  in 

order to  prevent interferences. 

i

Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna 

(e.g. flush mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) 

may impair signal reception! 

i

Do  not  cut  or  shorten  the  antenna  -  its  length  is 

perfectly matched to the band in which the system 

operates

i

TIPS FOR ARRANGING THE ANTENNA:

Note! 

It should be noted that the push-button connected to 

S1 terminal operates with the shutter motor output 

(O1),  while  the  push-button  connected  to  S2 

terminal, operates with the shutter motor output O2. 

Therefore,  it  has  to  be  defined  which  connected 

push-button causes the Roller Shutter to move up / 

down. 

i

Note! 

It  should  be  noted  that  only  the  push-button 

connected to S1 terminal and service push-button B 

enables "self-learning" mode (Include/ Exclude).

III Starting the operation of the 

    Roller Shutter Controller

1. Installing the Roller Shutter Controller

STEP 1

 

Connect the device in accordance with the circuit diagram presented 

in Figure 1. Switch on 230V of the mains voltage.

[Adding/ Removing] of  the Roller Shutter Controller [to/ from] 

Z-wave network

STEP 2

 

The  Roller  Shutter  Controller  must  be  placed  within  the  range  of 

Home Center controller, as the adding mode requires direct 

communication with the controller.

  

STEP 3

 

Identify key no. 1. If the device is connected in accordance with the 

diagram shown in Figure 1, this will the key that raises the roller 

shutter. 

STEP 4

  

Set the controller in add/remove mode (see the controller's manual)

STEP 5

  

Add the Roller Shutter Controller  to the network by pushing three 

times (sat) key no. 1 or push-button B located inside the housing of 

the device. 

WARNING!

 

The Roller Shutter Controller cancels the "learning" 

mode after key no. 1 is pressed once. Therefore, 

pressing key no. 1 four times will not add the devices 

to the network.

Raising / lowering the roller shutter is achieved by moving the slider 

or by pressing the appropriate button, as shown in Figure 2.

i

WARNING!

 

The  Roller  Shutter  Controller  is  set  by  default  to 

operate with mono-stable switches (i.e. single-pole 

switch  or  bell  switch).  While  adding  the  Roller 

Shutter  Controller  to  the  network  with  bi-stable 

switches, ensure that all switch contacts are open 

(off), because closing them results in activating the 

push-button and this will prevent adding the device 

to the network. 

i

During the installation, it is recommended to use a 

mono-stable keys or push- button B.

STEP 6

 

The controller indicates that the device is correctly added to the 

network, (see the manual of Home Center controller).

It  should  be  noted  that  after  proper  adding  the  Roller  Shutter 

Controller  to  the  Fibaro  system,  it  should  be  calibrated.  The 

calibration  process  involves  performing  two  complete  cycles  of 

opening/ closing the shutter. Properly completed calibration may be 

verified by setting required position of the shutter using the icon e.g. 

30% of shutter opening - the actual opening should correspond to 

this value/position.

2. Resetting the Roller Shutter Controller 

The Roller Shutter Controller provides two methods for resetting.

Method I : 

Reset by removing the Roller Shutter Controller from the 

existing  Z-Wave  network.   The  device  may  be  removed  using  the 

controller  that  has  the  ability  to  include/exclude  devices  from/to 

Z-Wave network (see the manual of controller).

Method II

 : Within 5 sec. after connecting mains voltage supply, the 

Roller Shutter Controller allows the user to reset settings by pressing 

once S1 key and then holding key S2.

3. Controlling the Roller Shutter Controller by 

mono-stable or bi-stable switches.

Mono-stable switch (after releasing the push-button a spring 

automatically pushes back and disconnects the button )

-  Raising  /  lowering  the  roller  shutter  -  shortly  press  the  button 

assigned for the action.

Bi-stable switch (operates as a two-position switch, it has no 

spring that would push back the device after releasing manual 

pressure)

- Raising / lowering the roller shutter - change the position of selected 

push-button from the current position.

4.  Controlling  the  Roller  Shutter  Controller  using        

a command: ALL ON / ALL OFF

The Roller Shutter Controller responds to commands ALL ON / ALL 

OFF  that  may  be  sent  by  the  controller.  ALL  ON  /  ALL  OFF 

commands are usually implemented in Z-Wave remote control.

By  default,  the  Roller  Shutter  Controller  accepts  both  active 

commands   ALL  ON  and ALL  OFF.  Settings  may  be  changed  by 

entering an appropriate value into configuration register no. 1 

5. Controlling the Roller Shutter Controller using 

Fibaro system controller 

After adding the Roller Shutter Controller to the network, it will be

represented in Home Center by the following icon:

Fig. 2 The icon of the roller shutter shown on the Fibaro controller

IV Association

Association enables the Roller Shutter Controller to directly control    

a device included in Z-Wave network e.g. Dimmer, Switch (ON-OFF) 

or scene 

WARNING! 

Association ensures direct transfer of control 

commands  between  devices,  and  is  performed 

without participation of the main controller.

i

The Roller Shutter Controller enables user to associate three 

groups.

Group I

  is  triggered  by  single-clicking  of  any  key  (does  not  work 

when using bi-stable keys )

Group II

 is triggered by holding down any key

Group III

 

 

for controllers such Home Center for state reporting

The Roller Shutter Controller enables user to control up to 16 normal 

devices, and 7 MultiChannel devices in group no. 1 and no. 2, group 

no. 3 has only one field. The first field in each group is reserved for 

the network controller. It is recommended to use up to 10 devices, as 

the  time  required  by  the  device  to  send  a  command  to  each 

associated device may be quite long.

To add an association (using Fibaro controller), go to device options

by clicking the following icon:

Select  the  "device  options"  tab.  Then  specify  to  which  group  and 

what devices are to be associated. Sending relevant information to 

devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes 

(see details in the controller's manual ).

WARNING! 

When  the  Roller  Shutter  Controller  sends  control 

commands and a new command is issued, then the 

current one command transmission is interrupted to 

send new commands.

WARNING! 

Entering incorrect parameters may cause incorrect 

operation of the Roller Shutter Controller.

Operating alarm data frames

Fibaro  system  allows  user  to  set  response  of  devices  to  alarm 

situations  (response  to  data-frames  ALARM_REPORT  and 

SENSOR_ALARM_REPORT)  The  Roller  Shutter  Controller 

responds to the following alarm types:

• General Purpose Alarm - GENERAL PURPOSE ALARM [0x00]

• Smoke Alarm  - ALARM CO2 [0x02], ALARM CO [0x01], ALARM 

SMOKE [0x03]

• Water Flooding Alarm - ALARM WATER [0x05]

• Temperature Alarm - ALARM HEAT [0x04]

Alarm data-frames are sent by devices that are system sensors (e.g., 

flood sensors, smoke detectors, motion detectors, etc.).

The device may respond in the following manner to received 

data-frames  (settings  are  configured  in  configuration  parameters, 

see section V Configuration ):

• 0 - DEACTIVATION - the device does not respond to alarm data 

frames

• 1 - OPEN SHUTTER ALARM - the device opens the roller shutter 

after detecting an alarm

•  2  -  CLOSED  SHUTTER ALARM  -  the  device  closes  the  roller 

shutter after detecting an alarm

Position indicating

The Roller Shutter Controller has built-in mechanisms enabling it to 

detect the current position of roller shutters, awnings and similar 

devices.  For proper operation of the mechanism, it is necessary to 

use a motor with mechanical limit switches. Correct operation of the 

position detecting mechanism, when using motor with overload 

switches,  depends  on  motor  power  and  the  suitability  of  specific 

models - therefore it is recommended to use a motor with mechanical 

limit switches. For each engine type the calibration procedure should 

be performed.
