1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the
network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other
controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The
image also shows that its not possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with
static controllers.
Product description
The Fibar Insert Switch allows controlling two independent loads both via Z-Wave wirelessly and locally
utilizing a traditional wall switch. The device is placed in a wall box right behind the normal switch. The
switch is not longer directly connected to the load but acts as input device for the Fibar insert that is
controlling the load. The solution works with all switch design with or without neutral position as long as
there is enough space in the wall box behind the switch. The device is just 15 mm height. The available
space depends on the size of the traditional switch, the dimensions of the wall box and the amount of
additional cabling placed in this box. This device is designed for a 3 wire system and needs a neutral wire in
the wall box.
Before Device is installed
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure
an error-free functioning.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230?Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the
voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim
has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for
damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the product must not be operated in any
case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured, the voltage supply has to be
interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.
Installation Guidelines
The switch insert is designed to fit into standard circular European wall boxes with 60 mm diameter. With its
15 mm height, it can be also mounted behind traditional wall switches. This wall switch serves as an
external control switch to switch loads. The relay itself is realized in the insert.
