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.

Fibaro Dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. Dimmer 2 is equipped with a smart algorithm of light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources in 3-wire connection. Active power and energy consumption allows to monitor and reduce electricity bills. Dimmer 2 is compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller.
As a dimmer it operates under the following loads:
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.
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. Disconnect the power supply
2. Remove the Dimmer 2 from the wall switch box
3. Connect the power supply
4. Locate the B-button on the housing
5. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu mode
6. Wait for the visual LED indicator to turn yellow
7. Quickly release and click the B-button again
8. After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with the red LED indicator colour
9. The device enters the calibration mode
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.
Installation of the FIBARO Dimmer 2:
1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse)
2. Open the wall switch box
3. Connect with one of following the diagrams:
NOTE: Switch connected to the S1 terminal is a master switch. It activates the basic functionality of the Dimmer 2 (turning the light on/off, dimming) and starts the learning mode (Add/Remove). The switch connected to the S2 terminal is an optional switch and pushing it without changing the configuration parameters will not affect the status of the device. Functionality of the switches can be reversed by adjusting advanced parameter.
NOTE: It is not recommended to install different types of wall switches (momentary, toggle, etc.) in a 3-way connection.
4. After verifying correctness of connection switch on the mains voltage
5. Wait around 30s for the calibration process to end (see „Calibration” on page 15), light may blink during the process
6. After successful calibration the device will be turned off by default
7. Add the device to the Z-Wave network (see „Adding/removing the device” on page 11)
8. Turn off the mains voltage, then arrange the device and its antenna in a wall switch box
9. Close the wall switch box and turn on the mains voltage
Tips for arranging the antenna:
• Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as possible (connecting wires, bracket rings, etc.) in order to prevent interferences.
• Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna (e.g. flush mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) may impair signal reception!
• Do not cut or shorten the antenna - its length is perfectly matched to the band in which the system operates.
NOTE: After switching on the mains voltage LED indicator will signal Z-Wave network inclusion state with a colour: GREEN - device added RED - device not added RED/GREEN ALTERNATELY- Z-Wave error
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.
Momentary switch (after releasing the switch a spring automatically pushes back and disconnects the switch):
• Turning the light ON/OFF: change the position of switch no. 1. The Dimmer 2 will be activated always at previously set brightness level.
• Brightening/dimming the light: hold switch no. 1 down. When the switch is held down, the Dimmer 2 will always reach the extreme value of 1% or 99%.
• Turning the light ON completely: fast double-click switch no. 1. The Dimmer 2 will set the load at 99%.
Toggle switch (operates as a two-position switch, it has no spring that would set one position of the switch):
• Turning the light ON/OFF: toggle switch no. 1. The Dimmer 2 will be activated always at previously set brightness level.
• Turning the light ON completely: toggle twice switch no. 1. The Dimmer 2 will set the load at 99%.
Controlling the Dimmer 2 using a command: ALL ON/ALL OFF in non-secure mode:
The Dimmer 2 responds to commands ALL ON/ALL OFF that may be sent by the Z-Wave controller. ALL ON/ALL OFF commands are usually implemented in the remote controllers using Z-wave protocol, and they are used to issue commands directed to the entire system.
By default, both commands ALL ON and ALL OFF are accepted. Settings may be changed by modifying the value of parameter 11 (see „Advanced parameters” ). In this way the user may determine to which commands the device should respond.
Controlling the Dimmer 2 using the B-button:
FIBARO Dimmer 2 is equipped with a B-button, which allows to use the MENU mode and additionally perform the following actions:
1x click:
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: The Fibaro Dimmer 2 is powered with mains voltage so it is always awake.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function
needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update
process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update:
Dimmer 2 features remote software update (initiated by the main controller). Update status is signalled by the LED indicator with cyan colour:
• slow blinking - transferring data via Z-Wave and saving to the flash memory
• fast blinking - copying data from the external memory to the memory of the microcontroller
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 |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 | Z-Wave Plus Lifeline. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_REPORT; DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION; SCENE_ACTIVATION_SET; METER_REPORT; SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT; NOTIFICATION REPORT. |
2 | 8 | Association Group On/Off (S1) is assigned to key no. 1. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: BASIC_SET. |
3 | 8 | Association Group Dimmer (S1) is assigned to key no. 1. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_SET. |
4 | 8 | Association Group On/Off (S2) is assigned to key no. 2. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: BASIC_SET. |
5 | 8 | Association Group Dimmer (S2) is assigned to key no. 2. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated:SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_SET. |
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.
