What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description

FIBARO CO Sensor is an ultra-light, compact, battery-powered carbon monoxide detector, designed to be placed on a wall. Its high sensitivity allows to detect the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas at the early stage in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Alarm is signalled with a built-in siren, blinking LED indicator and by sending commands to Z-Wave network devices. Additionally, the device is equipped with a temperature sensor.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

1. Press and hold the button.
2. Release the button when LED indicator glows white.
3. Click the button when LED indicator glows yellow.
4. After few seconds the device will be reset (confirmed by red LED indicator).

Installation on the wall:

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

1. Place the device within direct range of the Z-Wave controller.
2. Set the main Z-Wave controller in (security/non-security) adding mode (see the controller’s manual).
3. Quickly, triple click the button located on the casing.
4. Wait for the device to be added into the system.
5. Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message

Exclusion

1. Place the device within direct range of the Z-Wave controller.
2. Set the main Z-Wave controller in remove mode (see the controller’s manual).
3. Quickly, triple click the button located on the casing.
4. Wait for the removing process to end.
5. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message.

Product Usage

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:
1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds
2. You should hear a short signal while the LED diode blinks white.
3. Release the button.
4. Wait for the device to indicate desired menu position with a colour:
   • White - confirm the start of the firmware update process
   • Green - send the current state of CO Alarm

Indications and signals:
The CO Sensor is equipped with a LED diode and a buzzer, signalling menu position and status of the device.



Checking battery level:
FIBARO CO Sensor automatically warns about low battery with one
yellow blink and a short beep, when battery level is low.
Replacing the battery:
1. Remove the device from the cover by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the paper strip to take out the battery.
3. Press and hold the button for at least one second.
4. Insert a new CR123A battery observing the polarities shown inside.
5. Attach the device to its cover by turning it clockwise and perform the test (as described in #5: Operating the device).

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: Click the button.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association - one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

Association Groups:

Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 1
Lifeline - reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2 5
CO Alarm - is assigned to the device status - devices in this group will be switched on/off when CO Alarm status changes.
3 5
CO Alarm - is assigned to the device status - devices in this group will receive notification when CO Alarm status changes. Useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
4 5
CO Level - is assigned to measured CO level - devices in this group will be switched on/off after exceeding the level of CO concentration specified in parameter 14.
5 5
Tamper Alarm - is assigned to the tamper - sends tamper alarm and cancellation frames to the associated devices.
6 5
CO Alarm BC - is assigned to the device status - devices in this group will be switched on/off when CO Alarm status changes. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.
7 5
Tamper Alarm BC - is assigned to the tamper - sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
