Important safety InformatIon
2: Description and features
2.1: Description
FIBARO RGBW Controller 2 is a universal, Z-Wave Plus compatible
RGB/RGBW controller.
FIBARO RGBW Controller 2 uses PWM output signal, allowing it to
control LED, RGB, RGBW strips, halogen lights and other resistive
loads. It can also measure active power and energy consumed by the
load. Controlled devices may be powered by 12 or 24V DC.
Inputs support momentary/toggle switches and 0-10V analog sensors, like temperature sensors, humidity sensors, light sensors etc.
2.2: Main features
• Compatible with any certied Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus controller.
5
• Allows for controlling:
»RGB/RGBW LED strip,
»one-color LED strips,
»halogen lights,
»other compliant resistive loads.
• Allows for connecting to inputs:
»switches/buttons,
»0-10V analog sensors or potentiometers.
• Active power and energy metering.
• Supports Z-Wave network Security Modes: S0 with AES-128 encryption and S2 Authenticated with PRNG-based encryption.
• Works as a Z-Wave signal repeater (all non-battery operated devices within the network will act as repeaters to increase reliability of the network).
• May be used with all devices certied with the Z-Wave Plus certicate and should be compatible with such devices produced by
other manufacturers.
The device is a Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus product
i
and a Security Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be
used in order to fully utilize the product.

4.1: Before installation
Connecting the device in a manner inconsistent with this
!
manual may cause risk to health, life or material damage.
• Connect only in accordance with one of the diagrams,
• The device is powered with secure voltage; nevertheless, the user
should be extra careful or should commission the installation to a
qualied person,
• Do not connect devices which are not compliant with the
specication,
• Every connected device should be compliant with the relevant
safety standards,
• RGBW Controller 2 and the load connected to its output must
be powered by 12VDC or 24VDC stabilized power supply with
short circuit protection. Connecting higher voltage or voltage not
matching the load’s voltage may cause damage to the device,
7
• Connecting long RGBW/RGB/LED strips may cause voltage drops,
resulting in lower light brightness further from R/G/B/W outputs.
To eliminate this eect it is recommended to connect few shorter
strips in parallel connection instead of one long strip connected
serially,
• RGBW Controller 2 has 0-10V inputs. There is no 0-10V output.
Output is controlled by PWM at 244Hz,
• We recommend using momentary switches for comfortable light
control.

5: Adding to Z-Wave network
Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add
the device to existing Z-Wave network.
Full DSK code is present only on the box, make sure to
i
keep it or copy the code.
5.1: Adding manually
To add the device to the Z-Wave network manually:
1. Power the device.
2. Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security Mode) add mode
(see the controller’s manual).
3. Quickly, three times click the service button.
11
4. If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated, input the underlined
part of the DSK (label on the box).
5. LED will start blinking yellow, wait for the adding process to end.
6. Adding result will be conrmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message
and the LED:
• Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 Unauthenticated),
SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network
by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. SmartStart product will be
added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the
network range.
To add the device to the Z-Wave network using SmartStart:
1. To use SmartStart your controller needs to support Security S2
(see the controller’s manual).
2. Enter the full DSK string code to your controller. If your controller
is capable of QR scanning, scan the QR code placed on the label
on the box.
3. Power the device.
4. Wait for the adding process to start (up to few minutes), which is
signalled with yellow LED blinking.
5. Adding result will be conrmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message
and the LED:
• Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 Unauthenticated),
