FIBARO Wall Plug User Manual

1. Introduction

The FIBARO Wall Plug is a compact, intelligent plug-in module designed to control lighting or other electrical devices via Z-Wave commands. It is engineered to work with any type of load up to a maximum power of 2500W. This device also features energy consumption measurement, providing instant and total consumption values to your Z-Wave controller.

A visual indicator ring on the plug provides an immediate overview of energy consumption: a green ring indicates low consumption, while a red ring signifies very high consumption. Additionally, the FIBARO Wall Plug offers a unique Z-Wave network range test function.

The Wall Plug can test the Z-Wave network coverage. To activate this function:

1. Press and hold the button on the Wall Plug for a few seconds until the LED ring turns light violet.
2. Release the button. The LED will then display a color indicating the current network coverage:
• Green: Excellent range
• Yellow: Good range
• Orange: Moderate range
• Red: Poor range
• Flashing Red: No connection
3. To exit the test mode, press the button briefly.

4. Operating the Wall Plug

4.2. Energy Monitoring

The FIBARO Wall Plug continuously monitors the energy consumption of the connected device. The LED ring changes color to visually represent the current power draw:

• Green: Low power consumption
• Blue: Moderate power consumption
• Yellow: Higher power consumption
• Red: Very high power consumption
• Flashing Red: Overload warning (disconnect appliance immediately if this occurs).

Detailed energy consumption data (instantaneous power and total accumulated energy) can be viewed through your Z-Wave controller's interface or associated applications.

5. Maintenance

• Firmware Updates: The FIBARO Wall Plug supports wireless firmware updates when used with a FIBARO Home Center 2 or newer controller. Refer to your controller's manual for instructions on performing firmware updates.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Common Issues

• Device not responding:
  • Ensure the Wall Plug is properly plugged into a live outlet.
  • Check the Z-Wave network range using the built-in test function (Section 3.3).
  • Verify that the Wall Plug is correctly included in your Z-Wave network. If not, try re-including it.
• Incorrect energy readings:
  • Ensure the connected appliance is within the specified power limits.
  • Check for any firmware updates for the Wall Plug or your Z-Wave controller.
• LED ring not illuminating:
  • Verify power supply to the outlet.
  • If the device is unresponsive, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.

6.2. Exclusion from Z-Wave Network

If you need to remove the Wall Plug from your Z-Wave network:

1. Place the FIBARO Wall Plug within direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
2. Set your Z-Wave controller into exclusion mode (refer to your controller's manual).
3. Press the button on the FIBARO Wall Plug three times quickly. The LED ring will flash blue to indicate exclusion mode.
