FIBARO Double Switch 2 – connection with double switch:

• Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as possible (connecting wires, bracket rings, etc.) in order to prevent interferences.
• Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna (e.g. flush mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) may impair signal reception!
• Do not cut or shorten the antenna – its length is perfectly matched to the band in which the system operates.

Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add the device to existing Z-Wave network.

To add the device to the Z-Wave network:

In case of problems with adding/removing using S1 switch, use B-button instead (located on the housing)

While adding the Switch 2 to the network with connected toggle switch, ensure that switch contact is open (off). Otherwise it will prevent adding/removing the device to/from the network.

Adding in security mode must be performed up to 2 meters from the controller.

Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network.

Removing the device from the Z-Wave network restores all the default parameters of the device.

To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:

In case of problems with adding/removing using S1 switch, use B-button instead (located on the housing)

The Switch 2 has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.

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.

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

1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
2. Remove the Switch 2 from the wall switch box.
3. Switch on the mains voltage.
4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
5. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow violet.
6. Quickly release and click the B-button again.
7. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below).
8. To exit Z-Wave range test, click the B-button.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

• Visual indicator pulsing green – the Switch 2 attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
• Visual indicator glowing green – the Switch 2 communicates with the main controller directly.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow – the Switch 2 tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow – the Switch 2 communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet – the Switch 2 does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red – the Switch 2 is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

The Switch 2 can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action using Central Scene Command Class.
By default scenes are not activated, set parameters 28 and 29 to enable scene activation for selected actions.

The Switch 2 allows for the active power and energy consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. Home Center.

Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision (+/- 1% for loads greater than 5W).

Electric active power – power that energy receiver is changing into a work or a heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W].

Electric energy – energy consumed by a device through a time period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by suppliers on the basis of active power used in given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000Wh.

The Switch 2 require the power consumption of connected load equal to 5W or greater to correctly measure the power and energy.

Power measurement can contain mains voltage fluctuations within +/- 10%.

The Switch 2 stores periodically (every hour) the consumption data in the device memory. Disconnecting the module from the power supply will not erase stored energy consumption data.

Resetting consumption memory:
The Switch 2 allows to erase stored consumption data in three ways:

• Using functionality of a Z-Wave controller (see the controller’s manual).
• Manually clearing the data using the following procedure:
  1. Switch off the mains voltage (disable the fuse).
  2. Remove the Switch 2 from the wall switch box.
  3. Switch on the mains voltage.
  4. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu.
  5. Wait for the visual LED indicator to glow green.
  6. Quickly release and click the B-button again.
  7. Energy consumption memory will be erased.
• By resetting the device.

The Switch 2 after detecting overheat or overcurrent will:

• switch off its relay/relays,
• send information about switching off the relay/relays to the controller,
• send Notification Report to the controller (Heat Alarm for overheat, Power Management for overcurrent).

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

Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.

The Switch 2 provides the association of five groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off (S1)” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Basic command class).
3rd association group – “Dimmer (S1)” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
4th association group – “On/Off (S2)” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Basic command class).
5th association group – “Dimmer (S2)” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).

The Switch 2 in 2nd to 5th group allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group. “LifeLine” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can 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:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Click the “Setting Association” button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wait for the configuration process to end.

Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.

The Switch 2allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
In order to configurethe Switch 2(using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Modify values of chosen parameters.
4. Save the changes.
