4: Installation
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
qualied person,
• Do not connect devices which are not compliant with the
specication,
• 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,
• 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 eect 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.

7: Operating the device
7.1: Operating the device using switches
Controlling connected loads in RGBW mode (default)
Input can control output only with the same number (e.g. switch
connected to IN1 controls load connected to output OUT1). Per-
form following actions on inputs to change state of the connect-
ed load:
• 1xclick – change to the opposite one (ON/OFF)
i
A single click switches between the OFF state and
the last non-OFF state. It means it may set the co-
lour back, but the light may not light up as it doesn’t
change the brigthness.
• 2xclick – set colour to 100%
• hold/release – dimm/brighten colour
Controlling connected loads in HSB mode
HSB mode is enabled by setting parameter 150 to 1. Inputs
correspond to dierent components in HSB colour space: IN1
– Hue, IN2 – Saturation, IN3 – Brightness and IN4 input controls
OUT4 output. Perform following actions on inputs to change
values of the components:
• 1xclick when value is 0 – restore last set value
• 1xclick when value is not 0 – set value to 0
• 2xclick – set value to max
• hold/release – increase/decrease value
When you hold the button connected to
IN1, you revolve around the cone on the
H (Hue) axis.
When you hold the button connected to
IN2, you change the saturation (S).
When you hold the button connected to
the IN3, you change the brightness (B).
B
i
Remember that if the saturation is too low, you may
not notice any changes while holding IN1.
i
More information about the behaviour of the button
and HSB mode can be found in our knowledge base.

9: Conguration
9.1: Associations
Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices with-
in the Z-Wave system network.
Associations allow:
• reporting the device status to the Z-Wave controller (using Lifeline
group),
• creating simple automations by controlling other devices without
participation of the main controller (using groups assigned to ac-
tions on the device).
i
Commands send to 2nd–10th association groups re-
ect inputs operation according to device congura-
tion, e.g. turning the rst channel on using input will send
frame responsible for the same action.
The device provides the association of 10 groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and al-
lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “RGBW Sync” allows to synchronize state
of other FIBARO RGBW Controller devices (FGRGBW-442 and FGRGB-
WM-441) - do not use with other devices.
3rd association group – “On/O (IN1)” is used to turn the associat-
ed devices on/o reecting IN1 operation.
4th association group – “Dimmer (IN1)” is used to change level of
associated devices reecting IN1 operation.
5th association group – “On/O (IN2)” is used to turn the associat-
ed devices on/o reecting IN2 operation.
6th association group – “Dimmer (IN2)” is used to change level of
associated devices reecting IN2 operation.
7th association group – “On/O (IN3)” is used to turn the associat-
ed devices on/o reecting IN3 operation.
8th association group – “Dimmer (IN3)” is used to change level of
associated devices reecting IN3 operation.
9th association group – “On/O (IN4)” is used to turn the associat-
ed devices on/o reecting IN4 operation.
10th association group – “Dimmer (IN4)” is used to change level of
associated devices reecting IN4 operation.

Association groups 2-10 can be triggered only from
buttons connected to IN1-IN4 and will not work for
0-10V sensors.
The device allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per
an association group, with the exception of “Lifeline” that is reserved
solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.
