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.

Danger of electrocution!

FIBARO Switch 2 is designed to operate in electrical home in­stallation. Faulty connection or use may result in re or electric shock.

All works on the device may be performed only by a qualied and
licensed electrician. Observe national regulations.

Even when the device is turned o, voltage may be present at its ter­minals. Any maintenance introducing changes into the conguration
of connections or the load must be always performed with disabled
fuse

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 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 Z-Wave 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:

boxes or anywhere else where it is necessary to control electric
devices. FIBARO Switch 2 allows to control connected devices either
via the Z-Wave+ network or via a switch connected directly to it and
is equipped with active power and energy consumption metering
functionality.

NOTE

i

This device may be
used with all de­vices certied with
the Z-Wave Plus cer­ticate and should be
compatible with such
devices produced by
other manufacturers.

NOTE

i

FIBARO Switch 2 is
a Security Enabled
Z-Wave Plus product
and a Security Ena­bled Z-Wave Control­ler must be used in or­der to fully utilize the
product.

Main features of FIBARO Switch 2:

• Compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave+ Controller,

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

• Advanced microprocessor control,

• Active power and energy metering functionality,

• Works with various types of switches – momentary, toggle,
three-way, etc,

• To be installed in wall switch boxes of dimensions allowing for
installation, conforming to provisions of applicable regulations,

• FIBARO Switch 2 is an extension unit.

FIBARO Switch 2 is a fully
compatible Z-Wave PLUS device.

#3: Installation

Connecting the Switch 2 in a manner inconsistent with this
manual may cause risk to health, life or material damage.

!

When connecting the Switch 2 act in accordance with the

following rules:

• Connect only in accordance with one of the diagrams,

• The Switch 2 should be installed in a wall switch box compliant with
a relevant national safety standards and with depth no less than
60mm,

• Electrical switches used in installation should be compliant with the
relevant safety standards,

• Length of wires used to connect the control switch should not
exceed 10m.

Tips for arranging the antenna:

• Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as possible
(connecting wires, bracket rings, etc.) in order to prevent
interferences,

INSTALLATION

• Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna (e.g. ush
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.

• Make sure no part of the antenna sticks out of the wall switch box.

NOTE

i

Switch connected to
the S1 terminal is a
master switch. It acti­vates the basic func­tionality of the device
(turning the rst load
on/o) and activates
the learning mode
(adding/removing).
The switch connect­ed to the S2 ter­minal turns on/of
the second load in
Double Switch 2,
but is optional in
Single Switch 2 and
pushing it will not af­fect the status of the
device.

#4: Adding/removing the device

NOTE

i

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

CAUTION

!

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

NOTE

i

The device will try to
add itself for 4 min­utes after pressing the
switch 3 times.

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:

1. Place the Switch 2 within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.

2. Identify the S1 switch.

3. Set the main controller in (security/non-security) add mode (see
the controller’s manual).

4. Quickly, three times press the S1 switch.

5. Wait for the adding process to end.

6. Successful adding will be conrmed by the Z-Wave controller’s
message.

NOTE

i

Removing the Switch 2
from the Z-Wave net­work restores all the
default parameters of
the device, but does
not reset power me­tering data.

NOTE

i

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.

To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:

1. Place the Switch 2 within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.

2. Identify the S1 switch.

3. Set the main controller in remove mode (see the controller’s
manual).

4. Quickly, three times press the S1 switch.

5. Wait for the removing process to end.

6. Successful removing will be conrmed by the Z-Wave controller’s
message.
