To include the Fibaro Switch relay into the network, set the Home Center controller into the inclusion mode and then press the button of the device or the push-button B located inside the housing of the switch relay three times during 1.5 seconds. The LED will become green for 3 seconds and then turn off. The device is now ready to work.
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.
For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.
The Fibar Insert Switch allows controlling an electrical load 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.
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.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
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.
The schematics below shows how to wire the actuator. The two wired from the mains distribution panel are connected to the inserts contacts N and L. Depending on whether the 230 V supply of the switch or an external power supply is used to power the electrical load, either the 230 V supply or the external power supply has to be connected to the insert contact I . The electrical load is then connected to the other pole of the 230 V power supply or with the second pole of the additional power supply.
The switch 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 and S2 .
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 switch insert as shown in the schematics. If a bistable switch is connected it has to stay connected until the switch is included into the Z-Wave network.
It is also possible to use a double switch for local control. In this case the second switching paddle is only used for wireless control and has no local function. The diagrams below show the wiring in this case using a 230 V power supply or an alternative power supply.
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.
Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode tripple click the button of the device or the push-button B located inside the housing of the switch relay to 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 on one of the buttons when the controller is in exclusion mode.

The switch insert is able to switch different types of electrical loads. The actuator can directly be operated by a local switching paddle. If the switch is a conventional button, every button impulse will connect the switch ON or OFF. 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 switch can be controlled by every Z-Wave device (communication pattern 1, 4 and 7). Any existing second switch can only be used for remote control of other actuators according to communication pattern 5 and not to control the local switch.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
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.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
---|---|---|
3 | 1 | |
2 | 16 | external Switch No 2 |
1 | 16 | external Switch No 1 |
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.
