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 room corner or perpendicular 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. Moving air masses and heat sources can also trigger false alarms. If false alarms persist after addressing these factors, relocate the device.

Diagram 6 Description: This diagram visually represents the motion detection coverage area of the Fibaro Motion Sensor, showing distances in meters (e.g., 0m, 3m, 5m, 7m) from the sensor's mounting point, typically indicating a cone or fan shape of detection.

VI. Installation Notes

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

VII. Resetting the Fibaro Motion Sensor

Resetting the Fibaro Motion Sensor erases all Z-Wave network and main controller information stored in its memory.

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.

A successful reset is confirmed by the LED changing to red and fading out.

[!] Note: Device reset does not remove it from the Z-Wave network main controller's memory. The device must be excluded from the Z-Wave network before resetting.

VIII. Operating within the Z-Wave Network

The Fibaro Motion Sensor is a multi-channel device, incorporating motion, temperature, and light intensity sensors. Depending on the main controller's software version, it may appear as three separate devices in the interface (e.g., Home Center 2).

[!] Note: The functionality of the Fibaro Motion Sensor may vary depending on the Z-Wave network controller. Consult the controller manufacturer to ensure compatibility.

The Home Center 2 menu displays motion, temperature, and light intensity values using specific icons.

IX. Associations

Using associations, the Fibaro Motion Sensor can directly control other Z-Wave devices such as Dimmer switches, Relay Switches, Roller Shutters, RGBW Controllers, or Wall Plugs. Scenes can also be controlled via the Home Center 2 main controller.

[!] Note: Associations enable direct communication between Z-Wave devices, bypassing the main controller. This can be crucial for device operation even if the main controller fails (e.g., in case of fire).

The sensor supports three association groups:

• 1st Association Group: Assigned to device status. Sends BASIC SET control frames to associated devices upon detecting motion.
• 2nd Association Group: Assigned to tamper alarm. Sends alarm frames to associated devices when tampering is detected.
• 3rd Association Group: Reports device status and is typically assigned to a single device, usually the main controller. Modifying this group is not recommended.

The Fibaro Motion Sensor can control up to 5 regular and 5 multi-channel devices per association group, with one field reserved for the Z-Wave network main controller.

X. Earthquake Detector Mode

The Fibaro Motion Sensor can function as an earthquake detector. Configure this by setting Parameter 24 to value 4. Reports detailing the scale of vibrations (dimensionless) are sent at intervals defined in Parameter 22. The first report is sent immediately after vibrations are detected. The minimum vibration threshold for reporting can be set in Parameter 20. Reports cease once vibrations stop.

XI. Sensor's Orientation in Space

The built-in accelerometer allows the sensor to report its orientation in space to the Z-Wave network controller when Parameter 24 is set to 2 or 3.

XII. LED Visual Indicators and Settings

The LED diode indicates sensor operating modes and alarms. It can also display Z-Wave network range and current temperature.

• Motion Alarm: LED color varies based on temperature, configurable via Parameter 80.
• Tamper Alarm: Indicated by alternating red, blue, and white blinking.
• Z-Wave Node Info: Indicated by a blue glow, sent each time the device wakes up.

To access the menu, press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds. Menu levels are signaled by LED colors:

• VIOLET: Z-Wave network range tester.
• YELLOW: Sensor reset.

XIII. Z-Wave Range Test

The sensor includes a Z-Wave network range tester.

To test the 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 Z-Wave network range (see signaling modes below).
5. To exit the test, briefly press the B-button.

Z-Wave Range Tester Signaling Modes:

• Pulsing Green: Attempting direct communication with the main controller.
• Glowing Green: Direct communication established with the main controller.
• Pulsing Yellow: Attempting routed communication through other modules (repeaters).
• Glowing Yellow: Communicating via other modules; will retry direct communication.
• Pulsing Violet: Communicating at the maximum Z-Wave network distance. A yellow glow confirms success. Use at maximum range is not recommended.
• Glowing Red: Unable to connect to the main controller directly or via a repeater.

XIV. Battery Usage Tips

The Fibaro Motion Sensor's battery typically lasts about 2 years with default settings. The battery level is shown in the Home Center 2 interface; a red icon indicates replacement is needed.

To avoid tamper detection during battery replacement, remove the 2nd association group and reduce tamper sensitivity (Parameter 20 set to 0).

If the battery drains quickly, check the following:

• Wake-up Interval: A short interval reduces battery life; lengthening it is recommended.
• Report Frequency: Frequent temperature and light intensity reports consume more power; adjust advanced configuration settings to decrease frequency.
• Device Connectivity: If associated devices or the main controller are disconnected from power, the sensor may repeatedly attempt to reconnect, shortening battery life.

[!] Note: Using batteries other than specified may cause explosion. Dispose of batteries properly according to environmental regulations.

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

XV. Advanced Configuration

The sensor offers extensive configuration options via parameters, accessible through the Z-Wave controller. These parameters allow customization of motion sensitivity, reporting intervals, LED behavior, tamper detection, and more.

Key parameters include:

• Wake Up Interval: Sets how often the sensor communicates with the main controller. Default is 7200 seconds (2 hours). Setting to 0 disables automatic wake-up.
• Motion Sensor Sensitivity (Param 1): Adjusts PIR sensor sensitivity.
• Motion Alarm Cancellation Delay (Param 6): Sets the time before a motion alarm is cancelled.
• Temperature Report Threshold (Param 60): Determines the temperature change required to send a report.
• LED Signaling Mode (Param 80): Configures how the LED indicates motion and other events.

[!] Note: Frequent reports can shorten battery life. Parameter values below 5 may block temperature or illumination reports.
