V. Detection Area and Working Conditions

The Fibaro Motion Sensor's detection area is illustrated in Diagram 6. For optimal performance, install the sensor in a corner of the room or perpendicularly to doors.

Environmental conditions can affect the sensor's range. False motion alarms may occur due to moving objects like trees in the wind, passing cars, or windmills, as well as moving air masses and heat. If false alarms persist after addressing these factors, relocate the device.

VI. Installation Notes

Avoid pointing the Fibaro Motion Sensor directly at heat sources (radiators, fireplaces, cookers) or light sources (direct sunlight, lamps). Installation in areas prone to drafts is not recommended. The sensor can be mounted using screws or the provided sticker.

VII. Resetting the Fibaro Motion Sensor

A sensor reset erases all Z-Wave network and main controller information from the device's memory. Note: Resetting does not remove the device from the main controller's memory; exclusion is required first.

Reset Procedure:

1. Ensure the battery is inserted and functional.
2. Press and hold the B-button for 4-6 seconds until the LED signals the second menu level.
3. Release the B-button.
4. Briefly press the B-button again.
5. A successful reset is confirmed by the LED turning red and fading out.

[!] Device reset will not remove it from the Z-Wave network main controller's memory. Before resetting, the device must be excluded from the Z-Wave network.

VIII. Operating within the Z-Wave Network

The Fibaro Motion Sensor is a multi-channel device, reporting motion, temperature, and light intensity. It may appear as multiple devices in the main controller's interface depending on the software version.

[!] Fibaro Motion Sensor capabilities may vary depending on the Z-Wave network controller. Consult the controller's manufacturer for compatibility details.

Icons used in the Home Center 2 menu for motion, temperature, and light intensity values are displayed visually in the original document.

IX. Associations

The Fibaro Motion Sensor can control other Z-Wave devices (e.g., dimmers, switches, plugs) or scenes through associations. Associations allow direct communication between devices, even if the main controller is offline.

The sensor supports three association groups:

• 1st Association Group: Reports motion detection by sending BASIC SET commands.
• 2nd Association Group: Reports tamper alarms.
• 3rd Association Group: Reports device status to the main controller (default).

Each association group can control up to 5 regular and 5 multi-channel devices. One field is reserved for the main controller.

[!] Association allows direct communication between Z-Wave devices, bypassing the main controller for enhanced reliability.

X. Earthquake Detector Mode

The sensor can function as an earthquake detector by setting Parameter 24 to value 4. Vibration reports (dimensionless scale) are sent at intervals defined in Parameter 22. The minimum vibration threshold for reporting is set in Parameter 20. Reports cease when vibrations stop.

XI. Sensor's Orientation in Space

With Parameter 24 set to values 2 or 3, the built-in accelerometer allows the sensor to report its orientation in space to the Z-Wave controller.

XII. LED Visual Indicators and Settings

The LED indicator signals various states:

• Motion Alarm: Color varies based on temperature (configurable via Parameter 80).
• Tamper Alarm: Alternating red-blue-white blinking.
• Z-Wave Node Info: Solid blue glow when the device wakes up.

To access the menu, press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds. Menu levels are indicated by LED colors: Violet for Z-Wave range tester, Yellow for sensor reset.

XIII. Z-Wave Range Test

To test the Z-Wave network range:

1. Press and hold the B-button for 2-4 seconds until the LED glows violet.
2. Release the B-button.
3. Briefly press the B-button again.
4. The LED will indicate the network range.
5. Briefly press the B-button to exit the test.

Z-Wave Range Tester Signaling Modes:

• Pulsing Green: Attempting direct communication with the main controller.
• Solid Green: Direct communication established.
• Pulsing Yellow: Attempting routed communication via other modules.
• Solid Yellow: Routed communication established.
• Pulsing Violet: Communicating at maximum network distance.
• Solid Red: Unable to connect to the main controller.

It is not recommended to operate the sensor at the maximum range limit.

XIV. Battery Usage Tips

The Fibaro Motion Sensor typically has a battery life of approximately 2 years with default settings. The battery level is displayed in the main controller interface (a red icon indicates replacement is needed).

To prolong battery life:

• Avoid short wake-up intervals.
• Reduce the frequency of temperature and light intensity reports.
• Ensure associated devices and the main controller are consistently powered to prevent frequent reconnection attempts.

[!] The Fibaro Motion Sensor is battery-powered. Using incorrect batteries may cause explosion. Dispose of batteries properly according to environmental regulations.

[!] The sensor supports remote software updates via Fibaro Home Center 2. During updates, alarm functions are not supported.
