The Fibar Insert Dimmer allows controlling an electrical light 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 3 wire or for 2 wire systems.
Installation
The dimmer 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 dim loads. The relay itself is realized in the insert.
The dimmer can be used in a three-wire as well as in a two-wire system. The two wired from the mains distribution panel are connected to the inserts contacts N and L. In a three-wire system in which both contacts N and L are available in the socket, both conductors will be connected directly with this insert contacts. The contact O is the dimming output. The following circuit is realized in the three-wire system.
In a two-wire system the inserts contacts N and O are bridged and connected to the conductor coming from the fuse box. The second wire is connected to the insert contact L. It does not matter if both wires are swapped with each other. The schematics below show how to wire the actuator in a two-wire system.
The dimmer can be operated locally using a switching paddle installed on the wall box. To connect the switching paddle with the dimmer insert it has to be connected with the insert contacts S1, S2 and Sx. Attention: There must not be mains-power connected to the insert contacts. This would immediately lead to a destruction of the dimmer..
The local operation can be realized by a single switching paddle (bistable), a double switching paddle (bistable), a single button (monostable) or a double button (monostable). The connected switch type must be selected according to the inclusion by setting the configuration parameter 14. The local switch is connected with the dimmer insert as shown in the schematics. If a bistable switch is connected it has to stay connected until the dimmer is included into the Z-Wave network.
Product Usage
The dimmer insert is able to dim different types of lights. The actuator can directly be operated by the local switching paddle. If the switch is a conventional button, every button impulse will dim the light up or down. Using a switching paddle instead of a button the operation is the same with the exception that the switching paddle has to be switched back into the OFF status afterwards manually.
The device is also able to report status changes to a controller (communication pattern 2) and to remotely operate other devices (communication pattern 5). The dimmer can be controlled by every Z-Wave device (communication pattern 1, 4 and 7). To operate other devices a second switch which does not operate the dimmer is needed.
| Reset to factory default | XXXResetDescription |
| Inclusion | Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode tripple click one of the buttons on the device will include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by tripple click to one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode. |
