UNIVERSAL BINARY SENSOR
FGBS-001-EN-A-v1.1
The Universal Binary Sensor is a wireless module that makes it
possible to improve the functionality of any sensor with a binary
output by allowing it to communicate with the wireless network
Z-WAVE and the FIBARO building intelligence system. Moreover,
the module allows for wireless communication between the system
and the DS18B20 temperature sensors. The device can service up
to two binary sensors and up to four DS18B20 temperature sensors.
The Sensor was designed for installation in the housing of a sensor
or another device, the functionality of which we wish to improve.
The Universal Binary Sensor may be used whenever wireless
collection of data from sensors is required. Once additional safety
housing have been installed, the Sensor can also be used in areas
with high humidity and high temperature. The Sensor’s main function
is the integration of the wireless Fibaro System with the existing
wire-based and wireless alarm and measurement systems. As an
element of the safety system the device is transparent for parametric
alarm lines.

Fibaro is a system that does not require any additional conductors;
it is based on the Z-Wave technology. Fibaro offers a wide array of
advantages in comparison to other, similar systems. In general,
radio-based systems establish a direct connection between the
receiver and the transmitter. The radio signal is attenuated by every
obstacle along its path (in the household e.g. walls, furniture, etc.).
In the worst case the radio system ceases to function. The
advantage of the Fibaro System is the fact that the devices act not
only as a signal receiver and transmitter, but also as a signal
“repeater”. If a direct radio link between the transmitter and the
receiver cannot be established, the connection will be carried out
with the use of other devices participating in communication.
Fibaro is a bidirectional wireless system. This means that the signal
is not only sent to the receivers, but also the receivers send
feedback confirming the reception of the signal. This also confirms
the condition of receivers, which allows us to check whether or not
a device has actually been switched on. The safety of transmission
of the Fibaro System is comparable with a wire-linked bus system.
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 the Z-Wave technology is fairly new, it has already been
accepted as an official standard, just like Wi-Fi. Numerous
manufacturers from various fields offer solutions based on Z-Wave
technology, which are compatible with one another. This makes the
system fit for the future and allows for further development. For
more information go to www.fibaro.com.
Fibaro establishes a dynamic network structure. From the moment
of start-up, the location data of respective devices of the Fibaro
System is updated automatically, in real time, by confirming their
condition in the working „mesh” network.
II. Sensor Installation
1. Before the installation make sure to switch off the alarm
system, or any other system to which the device is to be
connected.
2. Connect the Fibaro Sensor according to the diagram.
3. Place the Fibaro Sensor in the sensor housing.
4. Arrange the antenna (instructions can be found below the
diagrams).

EXPLANATION OF
CONDUCTOR MARKINGS:
P – (POWER) – power supply conductor, red
GND - (GROUND) – ground conductor, blue
IN1 – input no. 1
IN2 – input no. 2
TP – (TEMP_POWER) – power supply conductor of the DS18B20
temperature sensor, brown (3.3V)
TD – (TEMP_DATA) – signal conductor of the DS18B20
temperature sensor, white
ANT – antenna, black
OUT1 – output no. 1 assigned to input IN1
OUT2 – output no. 2 assigned to input IN2
B – maintenance button (used to add devices to and remove
devices from the system)
Note!
Only the B button starts the device’s programming
process (Include/Exclude).
i
Note!
Condition of outputs OUT1 and OUT2 is dependent
only on the condition of corresponding inputs,
irrespective of parameter settings or addition of
device to the Z-wave network.
i
Note!
Do not remove the protective layer surrounding the
module. Make sure that no metal parts of other
devices or conductors come into close contact with
the installed Sensor.
i
Note!
It is prohibited to connect the TP and TD lines to
devices that are not compatible with the 1-wire
protocol. Unused lines should be left insulated.
i
Note!
Every time when any changes are made to the
configuration of TP and TD lines (1-wire), e.g. when
DS18B20 sensor(s) is (are) included/excluded, it is
necessary to execute the procedure of exclusion
and repeated inclusion of the sensor module to the
central hub. It should be remembered that the
system shall enter into the programming mode only
once all the connected sensors have been
detected (about 10 s).

GLOSSARY OF TERMS:
• INCLUSION –
the device sends out a Node Info frame, which
makes it possible to add it to the Fibaro system (Home Center)
• EXCLUSION –
removal of device from the Fibaro system
• ASSOCIATION –
controlling other devices of the Fibaro system
• MultiChannel Association -
controlling other multi-channel
devices of the Fibaro system
3. Controlling the Fibaro Sensor with the Home
Center 2 controller
The FGBS221 Sensor is a multi-channel device. This means that it
is equipped with two independent input circuits and a 1-wire bus
allowing it to be connected to four DS18B20 temperature sensors.
As a result, each device connected to the Sensor is represented by
an independent icon in the system.
After the Fibaro Sensor has been added to the network, it shall be
represented by appropriate icons in the Home Center 2 controller,
depending on the number of connected devices (3 – 7 icons).
In the event of including the Sensor without any sensors connected
(or with sensors connected only to IN1 and IN2), the device will be
represented by three icons. If DS18B20 sensors are also
connected, the devices will be represented by additional
temperature icons.
2. Resetting the Fibaro Sensor
There are two procedures you can follow in order to reset the
Fibaro Sensor.
Method I
Resetting in the course of the procedure of excluding the Fibaro
Module from an existing Z-wave network. Devices may be excluded
with the use of a controller, which offers the option to exclude
devices from or include devices to the Z-wave network (see:
controller instructions).
Method
II
Resetting by cutting off the power supply and re-connecting the
power supply while holding down the B button – after 10 seconds,
after another cut-off and re-connection of power supply the settings
of the device will be reset.
III Fibaro Sensor start-up
1. Installation of the Universal Binary Sensor
Module
STEP 1
Connect the device according to the wiring diagram shown in figure
1. Engage the supply voltage.
[Inclusion / Exclusion] of the Fibaro Sensor [to / from] the Z-Wave
network
STEP 2
The Fibaro Module must be in range of the Home Center 2
controller, because the procedure of inclusion to the Fibaro system
requires direct communication with the controller.
STEP 3
Recognition of B button, which allows for proper inclusion of device.
STEP 4
Setting the Home Center 2 controller to the inclusion or exclusion
mode (see: Home Center 2 controller instructions).
STEP 5
The Fibaro Sensor is added to the network by quickly pressing the
B button three times (the button is located in the center of the
device).
STEP 6
Correct inclusion of the device to the network will be signaled by
Home Center 2 (see: Home Center 2 central hub operation
instructions).

DANGER
The Sensor is powered with secure voltage;
nevertheless, the user should be extra careful or
should commission the installation to a qualified
person.
Diagram 2 – Connection to a regular alarm line
Lay down the antenna as far as possible from
metal elements (connection conductors, ring
brackets etc.), in order to prevent any interference
of the radio signal.
i
Metal surfaces in close vicinity (e.g. metal
embedded boxes, metal door trims) may impair the
reception capability!
i
You should not cut off or shorten the antenna. Its
length is suited ideally to the band at which the
system functions.
i
