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 monostable switches for comfortable light
control.

Z-Wave range test
8: Z-Wave range test
The device has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range
tester.
i
To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must
be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress
the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only
in special cases.
To test the main controller’s range:
1. Press and hold the button to enter the menu.
2. Release button when the device glows magenta.
3. Quickly click the button to conrm.
4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range
signaling modes described below).
5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the button briey.
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
• Visual indicator pulsing green - the device attempts to establish
a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct com-
munication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed
communication, through other modules, which will be signalled
by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
• Visual indicator glowing green - the device communicates with
the main controller directly.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the device tries to establish a
routed communication with the main controller through other
modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow - the device communicates with
the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds
the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the
main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator puls-
ing green.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet - the device does communicate
at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection
proves successful it will be conrmed with a yellow glow. It’s not
recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red - the device is not able to connect
to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave net-
work device (repeater).
i
Communication mode of the device may switch be-
tween direct and one using routing, especially if the
device is on the limit of the direct range.

10: Conguration
10.1: Associations
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).
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.
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 2 devices (do not use with other
devices).
3rd association group – “On/O (IN1)” is assigned to IN1 input ter-
minal (uses Basic command class).
4th association group – “Dimmer (IN1)” is assigned to IN1 input
terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
5th association group – “On/O (IN2)” is assigned to IN2 input ter-
minal (uses Basic command class).
6th association group – “Dimmer (IN2)” is assigned to IN2 input
terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
7th association group – “On/O (IN3)” is assigned to IN3 input ter-
minal (uses Basic command class).
8th association group – “Dimmer (IN3)” is assigned to IN3 input
terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
9th association group – “On/O (IN4)” is assigned to IN4 input ter-
minal (uses Basic command class).
10th association group – “Dimmer (IN4)” is assigned to IN4 input
terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
The device in 2nd to 10th group allows to control 5 regular or mul-
tichannel 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.
