General Information about the FIBARO System

FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All available devices can be controlled through a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone, or tablet. Z-Wave devices are not only receivers but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network's range. This offers an advantage over traditional wireless systems that require a direct link between transmitter and receiver, as the building's construction could negatively affect network range. Every Z-Wave network has its unique identification number (home ID). Multiple independent networks can exist within a building without interfering. The transmission security of the FIBARO System is comparable to wired systems. Z-Wave technology is a leading solution in smart home automation. There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually compatible, independently of manufacturer, allowing the system to evolve and expand over time. For more information, visit: www.fibaro.com.

#4: Physical Installation

Detection Range

Detection range of the Motion Sensor is shown below. Actual range can be influenced by environmental conditions.

[Diagram: A graph showing detection range. One axis represents distance (0m to 7m), the other represents height (0m to 5m). A shaded area indicates the detection zone, wider at closer distances and narrower at further distances, with a peak coverage around 5m horizontally and 3m vertically.]

ℹ️ Remember to add the device to the Z-Wave network prior to installation, as the adding procedure must be performed within the direct range of the controller.

Installation Location and Working Conditions

The Motion Sensor should be installed in a corner of the room or perpendicularly to the doors. Moving objects such as trees blowing in the wind, cars passing by, windmills, and moving masses of air and heat within the detection area can cause false motion detection.

[Diagram: Two illustrations showing optimal placement. One shows the sensor mounted high in a corner of a room. The other shows it mounted on a wall facing a doorway.]

Installing the Motion Sensor:

1. Install the holder (using an expansion bolt or a sticker). [Diagram: Shows the mounting bracket and a sticker option.]
2. Insert the device into the holder.
3. Test the operation – check whether the device indicates motion detection.

#5: Operating the Device

Controlling the Motion Sensor using the B-button:

The Motion Sensor is equipped with a B-button, which allows to use the menu and perform additional actions:

• 1x click: Wake up the device or select the desired menu option (if menu is active).
• 3x click: Add/remove the device to/from a Z-Wave network.
• Holding: Enter/navigate through the menu.

Visual Indications:

The Motion Sensor is equipped with an LED diode, signalling sensor's operating modes and alarms. The visual indicator may also inform about the Z-Wave network range and the current temperature.

Visual indicator signalling modes:

1. Motion Alarm colour varies depending on the temperature. The colour and signalling mode can be set in parameter 80.
2. Tamper alarm is signalled with an alternating blinking in LAPD colours (red - blue - white).
3. The Z-Wave Node Info command frame is signalled with a blue glow. This frame is sent each time the device wakes up.
4. Menu position is signalled with assigned illumination colour.

Menu:

The menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. To use the menu:

1. Press and hold the B-button.
2. Wait for the device to indicate the desired position with a colour:
   • VIOLET: Z-Wave network's range test
   • YELLOW: Device reset
3. Release the B-button.
4. Click the B-button to confirm selection.

Waking up the Motion Sensor:

The Motion Sensor needs to be woken up to receive information on new configurations from the controller, such as parameters and associations. To wake up the sensor manually, triple-click the B-button located inside the housing.

Controlling the Motion Sensor with FIBARO Home Center Controller:

The Motion Sensor has a built-in motion detector, temperature sensor, and light intensity sensor, making it a multi-channel device. In the Home Center interface, it will be presented as three devices.

[Diagram: Shows the FIBARO Home Center interface displaying three sensor readings: Motion Sensor (Arm/Disarm), Ambient Light Sensor (425 lux), and Temperature Sensor (26.10°C).]

Seismograph Mode:

The Motion Sensor can be configured to work as a simple earthquake detector by setting parameter 24 to value 1. Reports with a scale of vibrations (in the Modified Mercalli Scale) will be sent immediately after vibrations are detected. The minimal power of vibrations that will be reported can be set in parameter 20. Once vibrations cease and the alarm duration elapses, reports will stop.

[Diagram: Shows a "Seismograph" interface displaying a value of "52.00" and "Waiting for Wakeup".]

Orientation in Space:

The Motion Sensor has a built-in accelerometer. When parameter 24 is set to 2, the Z-Wave network controller will be informed about the Sensor's orientation in space by sending a report after a tamper alarm is triggered.

[Diagram: Shows accelerometer data with X, Y, Z axis values like X:10.12 m/s², Y:10.12 m/s², Z:10.12 m/s².]

Resetting the Motion Sensor:

The reset procedure erases the memory, including all information on the Z-Wave network and the main controller.

1. Open the cover.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Wait for the visual indicator to glow yellow (2nd menu position).
4. Release the B-button.
5. Click the B-button to confirm selection.
6. After a few seconds, the device will be reset, signalled by a red, fading visual indicator colour.

ℹ️ Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing it from the Z-Wave network. Use the reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Device removal can be achieved by the procedure described in "Adding/removing the device" on page 6.

#6: Association

ℹ️ Association allows direct transfer of control commands between devices. It is performed without the main controller's participation and requires the associated device to be in direct range.

Association (linking devices): Direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network, e.g., Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter, or scenes (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

The Motion Sensor provides association in four groups:

1. 1st association group – “Lifeline”: Reports the device status and allows for assigning a single device only (main controller by default).
2. 2nd association group – “Motion”: Assigned to the motion sensor; sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to associated devices.
3. 3rd association group – “Tamper”: Assigned to the tamper; sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to associated devices.
4. 4th association group – “Motion BC”: Assigned to the motion sensor; sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.
5. 5th association group – “Tamper BC”: Assigned to the tamper; sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

The Motion Sensor in groups 2 to 5 allows control of 5 regular and 5 multichannel devices per association group, with the exception of “Lifeline,” which is reserved solely for the controller, allowing only 1 node to be assigned. It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon: [Icon representing a gear or settings cog].
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant information to devices added to associated groups may take several minutes.
5. Wake up the device manually to speed up the configuration process.

#7: Z-Wave Range Test

The Motion Sensor has a built-in Z-Wave network main controller's range tester.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller's range:

1. Open the cover.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Wait for visual indicator to glow violet (1st menu position).
4. Release the B-button.
5. Click the B-button to confirm selection.
6. The visual indicator will show the Z-Wave network's range (range signalling modes described below).
7. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly.

Z-Wave Range Tester Signalling Modes:

• Visual indicator pulsing green: The Motion Sensor attempts to establish direct communication with the main controller. If this fails, the device tries a routed communication through other modules, signalled by a pulsing yellow indicator.
• Visual indicator glowing green: The Motion Sensor communicates directly with the main controller.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow: The Motion Sensor tries to establish routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow: The Motion Sensor communicates with the main controller through other modules. After 2 seconds, the device retries direct communication, signalled by a pulsing green indicator.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet: The Motion Sensor communicates at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. Successful connection is confirmed by a yellow glow. It is not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red: The Motion Sensor cannot connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

⚠️ To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

ℹ️ Communication mode of the Motion Sensor may switch between direct and routed communication, especially if the device is near the limit of its direct range.

#8: Advanced Parameters

The Motion Sensor allows customization of its operation to user needs. Settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options selectable via checkboxes.

To configure the Motion Sensor (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon: [Icon representing a gear or settings cog].
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.

Wake up interval

Available settings: 1-65535 seconds

Default setting: 7200 (every 2 hours)

The Motion Sensor wakes up after each defined time interval and attempts to connect with the main controller. After a successful communication, the sensor updates configuration parameters, associations, and settings, then enters standby mode. If communication fails (e.g., due to lack of Z-Wave range), the device enters standby and retries connection after the next interval. Wake up can also be performed manually by a single B-button click. A longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus longer battery life.

1. Motion detection - sensitivity

The lower the value, the more sensitive the PIR sensor is.

2. Motion detection - blind time

The PIR sensor is "blind" (insensitive) to motion for the duration specified in this parameter after the last detection. Shorter time periods allow for more frequent motion detection but drain the battery faster.

ℹ️ Blind time should be shorter than the time period set in parameter 6 (alarm cancellation delay).

3. Motion detection - pulse counter

This parameter determines the number of moves required for the PIR sensor to report motion. A higher value means less sensitivity.

It is not recommended to modify these parameter settings!

4. Motion detection - window time

Period during which the number of moves set in parameter 3 must be detected for the PIR sensor to report motion. A higher value means more sensitivity.

It is not recommended to modify this parameter setting!

6. Motion detection - alarm cancellation delay

Time period after which the motion alarm will be cancelled in the main controller and associated devices. Any motion detected during this period resets the timer.

8. Motion detection - operating mode

This parameter determines in which part of the day the PIR sensor will be active. It influences only motion reports and associations. Tamper, light intensity, and temperature measurements remain active regardless of this parameter's setting.

9. Motion detection - night/day

This parameter defines the difference in light intensity between night and day, used in parameter 8.

ℹ️ Values of BASIC ON and BASIC OFF command frames can be modified with dedicated parameters (14 and 16).

12. BASIC command class configuration

This parameter determines the command frames sent to the 2nd association group (assigned to PIR sensor).

14. BASIC ON command frame value

The command frame sent at the moment of motion detection. Further motion detections during the cancellation time will not result in sending the association.

16. BASIC OFF command frame value

The command frame sent at the moment of motion alarm cancellation, after the cancellation delay time specified in parameter 6.

18. Associations in Z-Wave network Security Mode

This parameter defines how commands are sent in specified association groups: as secure or non-secure. The parameter is active only in Z-Wave network security mode. It does not apply to the 1st group “Lifeline”.

20. Tamper - sensitivity

This parameter determines the change in force acting on the device that will result in reporting a tamper alarm (g-force acceleration).

22. Tamper - alarm cancellation delay

Time period after which a tamper alarm will be cancelled in the main controller and associated devices. Any tampering detected during this period will not extend the delay.

24. Tamper - operating modes

This parameter determines the function of the tamper and sent reports. It is an advanced feature serving more functions than just detection of tampering.

25. Tamper - alarm cancellation

This parameter allows to disable cancellation of the tamper alarm.

28. Tamper - broadcast mode

This parameter determines whether the tamper alarm frame will or will not be sent in broadcast mode. Alarm frames sent in broadcast mode can be received by all devices within range (if they accept such frames), but not repeated by them.

29. Tamper - backward compatible broadcast mode

This parameter determines whether the backward compatible tamper alarm frame will or will not be sent in broadcast mode. Alarm frames sent in broadcast mode can be received by all devices within range (if they accept such frames), but not repeated by them.

ℹ️ Device operating in Security Mode does not send frames in broadcast mode. In this case, leave the default values of parameters 28 and 29.

40. Illuminance report - threshold

This parameter determines the change in light intensity level resulting in an illuminance report being sent to the main controller.

ℹ️ Frequent illuminance reports will shorten the battery life. Parameter values under 5 may result in blocking temperature reports.

42. Illuminance report - interval

Time interval between consecutive illuminance reports. Reports are sent even if there is no change in light intensity.

60. Temperature report - threshold

This parameter determines the change in measured temperature that will result in a new temperature report being sent to the main controller.

62. Temperature measuring - interval

Time interval between consecutive temperature measurements. The shorter the time, the more frequently the temperature will be measured, but the battery life will shorten.

ℹ️ Temperature measurements are still performed during wake-up, even if periodic measuring is disabled (parameter 62 set to 0).

64. Temperature report - interval

Time interval between consecutive temperature reports. Reports are sent even if there is no change in temperature.

ℹ️ Frequent temperature reports will shorten the battery life. Parameter values under 5 may result in blocking illuminance reports.

66. Temperature offset

The value to be added to the actual temperature, measured by the sensor (temperature compensation).

80. Visual LED indicator - signalling mode

This parameter determines the way the visual indicator behaves after motion has been detected.

ℹ️ Flashlight Mode visual indicator glows in white for 10 seconds. If parameter 80 is set to 11, each detected motion extends the glowing by next 10 seconds.

81. Visual LED indicator - brightness

This parameter determines the brightness of the visual LED indicator when indicating motion.

82. Visual LED indicator - illuminance for low indicator brightness

Light intensity level below which the visual indicator brightness is set to 1%.

⚠️ The value of parameter 83 must be higher than the value of parameter 82.

83. Visual LED indicator - illuminance for high indicator brightness

Light intensity level above which the visual indicator brightness is set to 100%.

86. Visual LED indicator - temperature for blue colour

This parameter determines the minimal temperature that will result in a blue visual indicator colour. Relevant only when parameter 80 has been properly configured.

87. Visual LED indicator - temperature for red colour

This parameter determines the minimal temperature that will result in a red visual indicator colour. Relevant only when parameter 80 has been properly configured.

89. Visual LED indicator - tamper alarm

This parameter allows to enable/disable indicating tamper alarm (flashing white, red, and blue).
