ENG

Remotely  Controlled  Relay  Switch  of  FIBARO  system  is  designed  to  
operate  in  a  wall  switch  box,  wall  socket  box  or  in  locations  where  the  
control  of  an  electric  device  (up  to  3kW)  is  needed.  It  is  also  possible  
to  send  a  signal  to  any  system  that  is  to  be  integrated  with  Fibaro  
system.

Technical  Information

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).

TIPS

‡

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.

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.

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.

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.

technology,   guaranteeing   their   compatibility.   This   means   that   the  
system   is   open   and   it   may   be   extended   in   the   future.   Find   more

II  Assembling  Fibaro  Switch

1.  Before  installation  ensure  that  the  voltage  supply  is  
disconnected.
2.  Connect  Fibaro  switch  as  shown  on  the  diagram
3.  Place  the  switch  in  the  electrical  box  
4.  Arrange  the  antenna  (tips  are  presented  below  diagrams)

I  GENERAL  INFORMATION  ABOUT  FIBARO  SYSTEM

Note!  

It   is   possible   to   supply   the   load   with   voltage   other  
than  the  power  supply  to  Fibaro  switch  (e.g.  different  
phase   or   voltage   or   even   DC.   Detailed   data   are  
contained   in   specifications   and   diagrams   of   Figure  
1).

1.  Installing  the  Fibaro  Switch

STEP  1

  

Connect  the  device  in  accordance  with  the  circuit  diagram  presented  

LQ)LJXUH6ZLWFKRQ9RIWKHPDLQVYROWDJH

[Adding/  Removing]  Fibaro  Switch  [to/  from]  Z-­wave  network

STEP  2

  

Fibaro   Switch   must   be   placed   within   the   range   of   Home   Center  
controller,   as   adding   mode   requires   direct   communication   with   the  
controller.
    

STEP  3

  

Find  key  no.  1  which  allows  to  switch  circuit  1  on,  in  accordance  with

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  the  Home  Center  controller),  go  to  

GHYLFHRSWLRQVE\FOLFNLQJWKHIROORZLQJLFRQ

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.  

WARNING!  

When   Fibaro   Switch   sends   control   commands   and        
a   new   command   is   issued,   then   the   current   one
