I. General Information about Fibaro System

FIBARO is a wireless system based on Z-Wave technology, offering advantages over traditional radio systems by acting as signal "duplicators" to overcome obstacles. It is a bi-directional system, confirming signal reception. Transmission safety is comparable to wired systems. FIBARO operates in a free data transmission band and uses unique network IDs to prevent interference. Z-Wave is an established standard ensuring compatibility with many manufacturers. The system creates a dynamic network structure, automatically updating component locations.

The In-Wall Double Relay Switch (Fibaro Switch) is designed to switch connected devices on/off using radio waves, controllers, and directly connected push buttons.

II. Assembling Double Relay Switch

[CAUTION]: Read this manual before installation. Failure to observe recommendations may be dangerous or illegal. Manufacturer is not responsible for loss or damage due to improper use.

[CAUTION]: Product must be installed on a 10A line.

[DANGER]: Danger of electrocution. Faulty connection or use may result in fire or electric shock. Ensure voltage is disconnected before installation.

Installation Steps:

1. Ensure voltage supply is disconnected.
2. Connect the Double Relay Switch according to the wiring diagram (Figure 1).
3. Place the switch in the switch box.
4. Arrange the antenna according to the tips provided.

Figure 2: Installation of Fibaro Relay Switch in wall switch box

Illustrates the placement of the Fibaro Relay Switch within a standard wall switch box.

[CAUTION]: Switch box must comply with national safety standards and have a depth of at least 60mm.

[CAUTION]: Device is designed for installation in wall switch boxes and requires compliant electrical connectors.

NOTE: Device durability exceeds 200,000 switches for resistive loads at 6.5A per channel.

Tips for Arranging the Antenna:

• Locate the antenna away from metal elements (wires, brackets) to prevent interference.
• Metal surfaces near the antenna (e.g., flush mounted metal boxes, door frames) can impair signal reception.
• Do not cut or shorten the antenna; its length is matched to the system's operating band.

NOTE: Only push-button connected to S1 and service button B enable "learning" mode (Include/Exclude).

Dictionary:

• Adding (Inclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode to add it to a Z-Wave network.
• Removing (Exclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode to remove it from a Z-Wave network.
• Association (linking devices): Direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave network.
• Multi-channel association: Controlling other multi-channel devices within the Z-Wave network.

III. Activating Double Relay Switch

1. Installing the Double Relay Switch

STEP 1: Connect the device according to Figure 1. Switch on the mains voltage.

STEP 2: Place the Double Relay Switch within range of the Home Center controller for direct communication during adding mode.

STEP 3: Find key no. 1 to switch circuit 1 on, as per the diagram.

STEP 4: Set the Home Center controller to add/remove mode (refer to controller's manual).

STEP 5: Add the Double Relay Switch to the network by pressing key no. 1 three times, or by pressing service button B. For toggle switches, perform 3 position changes.

Recommendation: Use a momentary key connected to S1 during installation.

STEP 6: The controller will indicate successful addition to the network (refer to controller's manual).

[CAUTION]: The "learning" mode is cancelled after a single press of key no. 1 or button B. Pressing multiple times will not add the device.

[CAUTION]: By default, the switch operates with toggle switches. When adding with toggle switches, ensure all contacts are open (off) to prevent accidental activation.

2. Resetting Double Relay Switch

Two methods:

• Method I: Remove the device from the Z-Wave network using the controller (refer to controller's manual).
• Method II: Hold button B for 3 seconds after connecting mains voltage.

3. Controlling Double Relay Switch by Momentary or Toggle Switches

• Momentary switch: Briefly press the corresponding button to turn circuit 1 or 2 on/off.
• Toggle switch: Change the position of the selected button to turn the circuit on/off.

4. Controlling Double Relay Switch using ALL ON / ALL OFF Command

The Fibaro Switch responds to ALL ON / ALL OFF commands sent by the controller, commonly implemented in Z-Wave remote controls. Default settings accept both commands; this can be changed via configuration register no. 1.

5. Controlling Double Relay Switch using Home Center Controller

After adding to the network, the Fibaro Switch is represented by two icons in Home Center, one for each channel. Pressing the ON/OFF icon controls the connected device.

Figure 3: Icons of Double Relay Switch shown by Home Center controller

Illustrates the visual representation of the two channels of the Double Relay Switch within the Home Center interface.

IV. Association

Association allows the Fibaro Switch to directly control other Z-Wave devices (e.g., Dimmer, Switch, Roller Shutter) or scenes without involving the main controller. This ensures direct command transfer.

The Fibaro Switch supports association of three groups:

• 1st group: Assigned to key no. 1.
• 2nd group: Assigned to key no. 2.
• 3rd group: Reports the state of devices (only one device can be associated).

The switch can control up to 5 normal devices and 5 MultiChannel devices in groups 1 and 2. Group 3 has one field for a network controller.

To add an association using Home Center:

1. Go to device options (click the icon).
2. Select the "device options" tab.
3. Specify the group and devices to be associated.

Note: Sending association information may take several minutes.

[WARNING]: Issuing a new command interrupts the current command transmission.

The FGS-222 is a multi-channel device, meaning its two independent circuits are recognized as separate devices by the Home Center controller, each with its own icon. The first channel is the main channel, operated by the button connected to S1. The second channel's association requires devices supporting multi-channel association.

V. Configuration

VI. Additional Functionality

Operating Alarm Data Frames

The Fibaro system allows devices to respond to alarm situations (ALARM_REPORT, SENSOR_ALARM_REPORT). The Fibaro Double Relay Switch responds to:

• General Purpose Alarm [0x00]
• Smoke Alarm (CO2 [0x02], CO [0x01], Smoke [0x03])
• Water Flooding Alarm [0x05]
• Temperature Alarm [0x04]

Alarm data frames are sent by system sensors. The device's response (configured via parameters) can be:

• 0 - DEACTIVATION: No response to alarm frames.
• 1 - ALARM ON: Device turns on upon detecting an alarm.
• 2 - ALARM OFF: Device turns off upon detecting an alarm.
• 3 - ALARM FLASHING: Device periodically changes status (on/off alternately) for 10 minutes upon detecting an alarm.

Each channel of the Double Relay Switch can have an individual alarm response configuration.

VII. Operating Fibaro Switch

The Fibaro Switch can be operated using:

• Any Z-Wave compatible controller (e.g., Home Center).
• Mobile phones (iOS and Android with appropriate software).
• Tablets (e.g., iPad).
• PCs via web browser.
• Push-buttons connected to inputs S1 and S2.
• Service button B (located inside, activates learn mode).

VIII. Procedures for Malfunctions
