I General Information on the Fibaro System:

Fibaro is a system that does not require any additional conductors;
it is based on the Z-Wave technology. Fibaro offers a wide array of
advantages in comparison to other, similar systems. In general,
radio-based systems establish a direct connection between the
receiver and the transmitter. The radio signal is attenuated by every
obstacle along its path (in the household e.g. walls, furniture, etc).
In the worst case the radio system ceases to function. The
advantage of the Fibaro System is the fact that the devices act not
only as a signal receiver and transmitter, but also as a signal
repeater. If a direct radio link between the transmitter and the
receiver cannot be established, the connection will be carried out
with the use of other devices participating in communication.

Fibaro is a bidirectional wireless system. This means the signal is
not only sent to the receivers, but also the receivers send feedback
confirming the reception of the signal. This also confirms the
condition of receivers, which allows us to check whether or not a
device has actually been switched on. The safety of transmission of
the Fibaro System is comparable with a wire-linked bus system.
Fibaro operates in the free band for data transmission. The
frequency depends on the radio regulations in each individual
country.

Each Fibaro network has its own unique network identification
number (home ID), which is why two or more independent systems
may be installed in a single building without any interference.

Although the Z-Wave technology is fairly new, it has already been
accepted as an official standard, just like Wi-Fi. Numerous
manufacturers from various fields offer solutions based on Z-Wave
technology, compatible with one another. This makes the system fit
for the future and allows for further development. For more
information go to www.fibaro.com.

Fibaro establishes a dynamic network structure. From the moment
of start-up, the location data of respective devices of the Fibaro
System is updated automatically, in real time, by confirming their
condition in the working mesh network.

II Sensor Installation:

1.Connect Fibaro Door/Window Sensor according to the
appropriate diagram (if necessary)

2. Place battery inside the Sensor's casing,

3. Include into the Z-Wave network.

4. Install Fibaro Door/Window Sensor observing diagram 4,

EXPLANATION OF CONDUCTOR MARKINGS:

TMP - Tamper button. Detects removal, tampering etc. Used also

as a service button, to include/exclude the device to/from the
Z-Wave network,

IN - Potential-free input,
TP – (TEMP_POWER) - Power out for DS18B20 temperature

sensor,
TD – (TEMP_DATA) - Signal terminal for DS18B20 temperature
sensor,

GND – (GROUND) - Ground terminal.

NOTE!

To ensure the most accurate position detecting
always install the magnet in relation to the Sensor's

i

body, as shown in diagram 4.

NOTE!

Fibaro Door/Window Sensor has two TMP buttons

- inside and underside the casing.
During normal operation both TMP buttons must be

i

secure. Do not use the sensor with opened casing.

NOTE!

TMP button, located on the underside of the
device, has two functions:

1. sets a device into the learn mode (Include to /
Exclude from a Z-Wave network),

2. tamper button. After correct installation (fig. 5
and 6), removing the whole sensor from its location

i

or opening its casing may release the TMP button
and trigger an alarm. If the TMP is to serve as a
tamper button, association for II-nd association
group must be configured (optionally, use the
Parameter 13).

USING IN INPUT:

The Fibaro Door/Window Sensor has a one,
potential-free IN input. IN input status may be
modified through the Sensor itself or by sending
GND signal to IN (diagram 3). If the Door/Window

i

Sensor will be used only as a binary sensor, do not
install the magnet.

USING DS18B20 TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

The DS18B20 temperature sensor may be installed
anywhere where very precise temperature readouts
are necessary. If adequately protected, the
DS18B20 sensor may be installed in humid

i

conditions, under water, sealed in concrete or placed
under the floor.

ANTENNA ARRANGEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

The antenna should be placed above the battery.
Never cut, shorten or bend the antenna. Its length is
suited ideally to the band at which the system

i

functions.

Metal surfaces in close vicinity (e.g. metal switch
boxes, metal door trims) may impair the reception
capability!

III Fibaro Sensor Start-up

1.Installation of the Door/Window Sensor

STEP 1

Install the device observing the Figure 4 for correct positioning of
the Sensor and the magnet. Close the Sensor's casing.

[Inclusion/Exclusion] of the Fibaro Door/Window Sensor [to/from]
the Z-Wave network.

STEP 2
The Fibaro module must be in range of the Home Center 2
controller, because the procedure of inclusion to the Fibaro System
requires direct communication with the controller.

STEP 3
Locate TMP button, which allows for proper inclusion of device.

3. Controlling the Fibaro Door/Window Sensor with
the Home Center 2 Controller

The Door/Window Sensor is a multichannel device. This means
that it is equipped with an independent input circuit and a 1-wire bus
allowing it to be connected to a DS18B20 temperature sensor. As a
result, each device is represented by an independent icon in the
System.

BATTERY USE:

The Fibaro Door/Window Sensor's battery life is up
to 2 years, on default settings.
Current battery level is displayed in the Home
Center 2 configuration interface. If a battery icon
turns red, it means the battery needs replacement.

i

In order not to trigger an alarm when replacing the
battery, II-nd association group must be deleted
and the Sensor's configuration must be changed to
default, prior to the battery change.

NOTE!

Door/Window Sensor is equipped with a built-in
LED. LED blinks each time Door/Window Sensor
changes its state. LED blinking slowly = correct

i

inclusion. LED blinking rapidly = inclusion error.

NOTE!

Every time any changes are made to the
configuration of TP and TD lines (1-wire), i.e. when
DS18B20 sensor is connected/disconnected, it is
necessary to execute the procedure of exclusion
and repeated inclusion of the sensor module to the

i

Z-Wave network. The system will enter into the
learning mode only after connected DS18B20
sensor has been detected (about 10 s).

NOTE!

Do not connect sensors other than DS18B20 to the
1-wire line (TP and TD terminals).

i

NOTE!

It is prohibited to connect the TP and TD lines to
devices not compatible with the 1-wire protocol.

i

NOTE!

Resetting the device memory doesn't remove it
from the Z-Wave network's main controller
memory. To be able to re-include the device into the
Z-Wave network please exclude it first. Exclusion

i

may be performed either before or after the reset
procedure.

Fig. 1 - Door / Window Sensor icon

Fig. 2 - DS18B20 temperature sensor icon

in the Home Center controller

Sensor used without a DS18B20 sensor, or used with a switch
connected to IN input, will be represented by single icon. After the
DS18B20 temperature sensor has been connected, temperature
sensor icon will be displayed.

NOTE!

If a temperature sensor icon is not displayed
despite the fact the sensor itself has been
connected, or if the temperature readings are
incorrect, inspect the connections on the 1-wire

i

bus, in particular the connection between sensor
outputs and the line, and the total length of the bus
wire which should not exceed 30m.

IV Association

Association allows the Fibaro Door/Window Sensor to directly
control another device in the Z-wave network, e.g. Dimmer, Switch
(On-Off), Roller Shutter or trigger scenes (scene control is only
possible via the Home Center 2 controller).

NOTE!

Association allows for direct transmission of control
commands between devices and takes place without
the participation of the main controller. Owing to this
mechanism the Door/Window Sensor may

i

communicate with devices even if the main controller
is completely destroyed, e.g. in the event of a fire.

The Fibaro Door/Window Sensor supports three association
groups.

Group I is assigned to input IN1 (and the magnetic sensor).

Sending BASIC SET or ALARM command frames.

Group II is assigned to TMP button. Once the button is released,
ALARM GENERIC frame is sent to associated devices.

Group III reports on the condition of the device, only one device
may be assigned to the group (main controller, by default).

The Fibaro Door/Window Sensor allows for control over 5 regular
devices and 5 multichannel devices per group, out of which 1 field
is reserved for the network controller.

In order to add an association (with the use of the Home Center 2

controller) go to device options by clicking this icon:

Select the device options tab. Next specify which devices will be
associated, and to which association groups. Sending of
configuration commands to associated devices might take up to a
few hours, depending on previous devices settings and the number
of devices within the network.

NOTE!

Any new association order given while any
association commands are already being sent to

i

devices, cancels previous one.

V Configuration

The Door / Window Sensor offers a wide range of advanced
settings. The parameters listed below are available in the
Fibaro configuration interface.

In order to configure the Fibaro Door / Window Sensor (using the
Home Center 2 controller) go to the device options by clicking on

the icon:

Next, select the device options tab.

devices from association group no.1.

In case of alarm frames an alarm priority is specified.

Default value: 255
Possible parameter settings: (1 – 99) and 255

Value of 255 makes it possible to activate a device. In case of the
Dimmer module it means activating the device and setting it to the
previously stored condition, e.g. when Dimmer is set to 30%,
deactivated and then reactivated using 255 commend, it will be
automatically set to the previous condition i.e. 30%.

Parameter value: 1 [byte].

Parameter no. 9

Deactivating transmission of the alarm cancelling frame or the
control frame deactivating the device (Basic). It allows for disabling
the function of deactivating the device and cancelling alarms for
devices associated with IN input.

Default value: 0

Available parameter settings:

0 – for association group no. 1 information is sent
1 – for association group no. 1 information is not sent.

Parameter value: 1 [byte].

NOTE!

The parameter cancels alarms only. Information on
alarm violation or activation commands for devices

i

from association groups are always sent.

Parameter no. 12

Sensitivity to temperature changes. The maximum acceptable
difference between the last reported temperature and the current
temperature read from the sensor. If the temperatures differ by the
set value or more, a report with the current temperature value is
sent to the device assigned to association group no. 3.

Default value: 8 [0,5oC]

Available parameter settings: 0 – 255 [0oC to 16oC] [32oF –
60,8oF]

To set an appropriate parameter value use the following formula:

x = delta T x 16 - for Celsius
x = delta T x 80 / 9 - for Fahrenheit
x = parameter value
delta T – maximum acceptable temperature gradient in Celsius or
Fahrenheit

If the value is set to 0:

- if the wake-up interval is set to 255 seconds, temperature report
will be sent according to the interval,

- if the wake-up interval is set to over 255, temperature report will be
sent each ca. 4 minutes.

Parameter value: 1 [byte].

Parameter no. 13

Sending an alarm or control frame (for IN input, depending on
parameter no.5 value), and TMP button alarm frame. The frame is
sent in “broadcast” mode, i.e. to all devices within range ­information sent in this mode is not repeated by the mesh network.

Default value: 0

Available parameter settings:

0 – IN and TMP Broadcast mode inactive,
1 – IN broadcast mode active, TMP broadcast mode inactive
2 – IN broadcast mode inactive, TMP broadcast mode active
3 – IN and TMP broadcast mode active

Parameter value: 1 [byte].

NOTE!

If the “broadcast” mode of information transmission
is activated for a given channel, then transmission of
information in “singlecast” mode, i.e. to devices

i

assigned to the association group, for this channel is
deactivated.

Parameter no. 14

Scene activation functionality.
Default value: 0

Available parameter settings:

0 - functionality deactivated
1 - functionality activated

The device offers the possibility of sending commands compatible
with Command class scene activation. Information is sent to
devices assigned to association group no. 3

Controllers such as the Home Center 2 are able to interpret such
commands and based on these commands activate scenes, to
which specific scene IDs have been assigned. The user may
expand the functionality of a button connected to IN input by
distinguishing the sequence of it being pushed. For example:
double click would trigger the “goodnight” scene and triple click
would trigger the “morning” scene. To fully use the possibilities
offered by the parameter no.14 it is recommended to use a
momentary or a toggle switch (parameter no.3).

Scene ID is determined in the following manner:
IN input:
Switch from “off” to “on” ID10
Switch from “on” to “off” ID11
Remaining IDs are recognized correctly if the value of parameter
no.3 was set to 2
Holding down ID12
Releasing ID13
Double click ID14
Triple click ID15

Parameter value: 1 [byte].

NOTE!

Scene activation functionality may shorten the

i

battery life, even by 25%.

VI Additional Functionality

Alarm Frame Support.

The Fibaro System allows you to set the device’s reaction to alarms
(reaction to SENSOR_ALARM_REPORT frame). The Fibaro
Door/Window Sensor sends alarm frames of different types,
depending on parameter's no. 5 settings. The user should declare
type of alarm frame for each connected sensor. For example, for a
smoke detector connected to IN input the user should declare the
type 1–ALARM SMOKE frame (value of 1 should be entered), to
ensure the remaining Z-Wave network devices recognize the
information on smoke detector alarm correctly.
