Technical Information

• Controlled by FIBARO system devices or any Z-Wave controller.

 Electronic switch is a remote control unit.

• Microprocessor control.
• Active element: electromagnetic, micro-gap relay switch.
• The device may be operated by momentary and toggle 

   push-buttons.

 To be installed in wall switch boxes of dimensions allowing for 

   installation, conforming to provisions of applicable regulations.

DANGER

Danger of electrocution! 

All works on the device 

may be performed only by a qualified and licensed 

electrician. Observe national regulations.

DANGER

Danger of electrocution!

 Even when the device is 

turned off, voltage may be present at its terminals. 

Any works introducing changes into the 

configuration of connections or the load must be 

always performed with disconnected voltage 

(disable the fuse). 

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. The 

frequency depends on radio regulations in individual country . Each 

FIBARO network has its own unique network identification number 

(home ID), which is why it is possible to co-operate two or more 

independent systems in a single 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 Double Relay Switch is hereinafter referred to as Fibaro 

Switch. It is designed to switch on/off devices connected to its 

terminals using radio waves, controllers and a push button directly 

connected to Fibaro Switch. 

CAUTION

Do not connect the device to loads exceeding 

recommended values. 

Connect only in 

accordance with the diagram presented in the 

manual. Improper connections may be dangerous.

i

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.

• 

Adding (Inclusion)

 - Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to 

add the device to existing Z-Wave network.

• 

Removing

 

(Exclusion)

 - Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing 

to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network.

• 

Association (linking devices)

 - direct control of other devices 

within the Z-Wave system network.

• 

Multi-channel association

 - controlling other multi-channel 

devices within the Z-Wave network.

III Activating Double Relay Switch

1. Installing the Double Relay Switch

STEP 1

 

Connect the device in accordance with the wiring diagram 

presented in Figure 1. Switch on the mains voltage.

[Adding/Removing] Double Relay Switch [to/from] Z-wave 

network

STEP 2

 

Double Relay Switch must be placed within the range of Home 

Center controller, as adding mode requires direct communication 

with the controller.

During the installation it is recommended to use a 

momentary key connected to S1.

STEP 6

 

The controller indicates when the device is correctly added to the 

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

CAUTION

Double Relay Switch 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. The same applies to push-button B.

CAUTION

Double Relay Switch is set by default to operate 

with momentary switches (i.e. single-pole switch or 

bell switch). While adding Double Relay Switch to 

the network with toggle 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. 

3. Controlling Double Relay Switch by momentary or 

toggle switches.

Momentary switch (after releasing the push-button a spring 

automatically pushes back  and disconnects the button)

- Turning on/off circuit 1 or 2 - briefly press the push-button 

corresponding to a chosen circuit (see diagram). 

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

spring that would push back the device after releasing manual 

pressure)

- Turning on/off the circuit - change the position of selected 

push-button from the current position.

4. Controlling Double Relay Switch using a 

command: ALL ON / ALL OFF

Fibaro Switch 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, Fibaro Switch accepts both active commands ALL ON 

and ALL OFF. Settings may be changed by entering an appropriate 

value into configuration register no. 1 (see configuration)

5. Controlling Double Relay Switch using Home 

Center controller

 

After adding Double Fibaro Switch to the network, it will be 

represented in Home Center by the following two icons (one icon 

represents one channel):

 

Turning on/off  the device connected to Double Relay Switch is 

performed by pressing ON/OFF icon.

Association enables Fibaro Switch to directly control a device 

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

Shutter or scene (scene may be controlled only through the Home 

Center controller).

Fig.3  Icons of Double Relay Switch shown by 

Home Center controller

IV Association 

Fibaro Switch provides association of three groups.

1st group is assigned to key no. 1

2nd group is assigned to key no. 2

3rd group  reports state of devices. Only one device can be 

associated to this group.

Fibaro Switch enables user to control up to 5 normal devices, and 

5 MultiChannel devices in group no. 1 and no. 2, group no. 3 has 

only one field. One field is reserved for the network controller. 

To add an association (using the Home Center 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. 

Association ensures direct transfer of control 

commands between devices, and is performed 

without participation of the main controller.

i

WARNING

When Fibaro Switch sends control commands and    

a new command is issued, then the current one 

command transmission is interrupted to send new 

commands.

FGS-222 Fibaro Switch supports the operation of multi-channel 

devices.  Multichannel devices are devices that include two or more 

circuits inside one physical unit. 

FGS-222 Double  Relay Switch is a multichannel device. It means 

that it has two independent executive circuits - each circuit is 

recognized by the Home Center controller as a separate device. 

Accordingly, each channel is represented by an independent icon. 

The first channel is operated by a push-button connected to S1 

terminal and it is the main (default) channel. 

The association of the second channel of the double relay 

switch may be operated only by devices supporting 

multi-channel association !

The following settings are available in the Fibaro interface as 

simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropria-

te box

.

In order to configure Fibaro Switch (using the Home Center

controller), go to device options by clicking the following icon:

Select „Advanced” tab.
