Important safety information

Read this manual before attempting to install the device!

Failure to observe recommendations included in this manual may be
dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, Fibar Group
S.A. will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from
not following the instructions of operating manual.

General carbon monoxide information

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless poison
gas that can be fatal when inhaled. It is produced when liquid, solid, or
gas fuel is burned.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

The early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused
with u-like symptoms: headache, dizziness and nausea. Breathing car­bon monoxide causes these symptoms even in healthy people. It can
also cause sleepiness, vision problems (including blurred vision), ring­ing in the ears, aching arms and legs, irregular breathing, fatigue and
confusion. At very high levels, it causes loss of consciousness and death.

Some external factors, eg. exposure to high concentration of basic
(non-acidic) gases, silicone vapors, hydrogen sulde or sulfuric acid gas,
organic vapors, contact with water, dust and oil mist, or dew condensa­tion may aect the reliability of the device operation.

This device may not protect from long-term exposure to low levels of
carbon monoxide which can also lead to neurological symptoms.

The device is not a substitute for appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems.

General information about
the FIBARO System

FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the
Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through
a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices (non­battery powered) are not only receivers, but can also repeat the
signal, increasing the Z-Wave network’s range. It gives advantage
over traditional wireless systems that require direct link between
transmitter and receiver, as a result the construction of the building
could aect network’s range negatively.

Every FIBARO network has its unique identication number (home
ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without
interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable to
wired systems.

Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation.
There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually
compatible, independently of manufacturer. It gives the system the
ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit:
www.baro.com.

#1: Description and features

FIBARO CO Sensor is an ultra-light, compact, battery-powered

carbon monoxide detector, designed to be placed on a wall.

Its high sensitivity allows to detect the presence of the carbon
monoxide (CO) gas at the early stage in order to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Alarm is signalled with a built-in siren, blinking LED indicator and by
sending commands to Z-Wave network devices.

Additionally, the device is equipped with a temperature sensor.

• supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with
AES-128 encryption

• wall-mounted

• battery-powered

• completely wireless

• alarm signalled with a built-in siren and LED diode

• built-in temperature sensor

FIBARO CO Sensor can be powered with CR123A (included) battery.
Estimated battery life with device on default settings is 3 years (tested
with Panasonic Industrial Lithium).

Checking battery level:

FIBARO CO Sensor automatically warns about low battery with one
yellow blink and a short beep, when battery level is low.

Replacing the battery:

1. Remove the device from the cover by turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Pull the paper strip to take out the battery.

3. Press and hold the button for at least one second.

4. Insert a new CR123A battery observing the polarities shown
inside.

5. Attach the device to its cover by turning it clockwise and perform
the test (as described in #5: Operating the device).

CAUTION

!

Using batteries other
than specied may
result in explosion.
Dispose of properly,
observing environ­mental protection
rules.

CAUTION

!

Use only type of bat­tery specied in this
manual and keep
proper polarity!

#8: Associations

NOTE

i

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.

NOTE

i

2nd and 4th associa­tion groups use BASIC
CC, but the device does
not repond to GET
commands.

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

The device provides the association of six groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and al-

lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “CO Alarm” is assigned to the device status

- devices in this group will be switched on/o when CO Alarm status
changes.

3rd association group – “CO Alarm” is assigned to the device status

- devices in this group will receive notication when CO Alarm status
changes. Useful for devices that can trigger alarms.

4th association group – “CO Level” is assigned to measured CO lev­el - devices in this group will be switched on/o after exceeding the
level of CO concentration specied in parameter 14.

5th association group – “Tamper Alarm” is assigned to the tamper ­sends tamper alarm and cancellation frames to the associated devices.

6th association group – “CO Alarm BC” is assigned to the device
status - devices in this group will receive sensor alarm frames when
CO Alarm status changes. Provides backward compatibility with con­trollers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

7th association group – “Tamper Alarm BC” is assigned to the tam­per - sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the asso­ciated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not
supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

ASSOCIATIONS

The CO Sensor in 2nd to 7th 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 the 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. Press the button to wake up the device.

Notication report:

The device uses Notication Command Class to report dierent events
to 1st association group (Lifeline).

#9: Advanced parameters

NOTE

i

Entering invalid value
of parameter will re­sult in response with
Application Rejected
frame and not setting
the value.

The CO Sensor allows 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 congure the

CO Sensor

(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.

5. Press the button to wake up the device.

Wake up interval

Available settings: 0 or 3600-43200 (in seconds, 1h - 12h)

Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)

The CO Sensor will wake up at each dened time interval and always try
to connect with the main controller. After successful communication
attempt, the device will update conguration parameters, associations,
settings and then will go into Z-Wave communication standby.

After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device
will go into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish con­nection with the main controller after the next time interval.

Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notication to
the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually
using the button.

Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a
longer battery life.
