DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
Main features of FIBARO CO Sensor:
• compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller
• supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with
AES-128 encryption
• wall-mounted
• battery-powered
• completely wireless
• alarm signalled with a built-in siren and LED diode
• built-in temperature sensor
FIBARO CO Sensor is an ultra-light, compact, battery-powered carbon monoxide
detector, designed to be placed on a wall.
Its high sensitivity allows to detect the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas at the
early stage in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Alarm is signalled with a built-in siren, blinking LED indicator and by sending commands
to Z-Wave network devices.
Additionally, the device is equipped with a temperature sensor.
#1: Description and features

compatible Z-Wave Plus device.
NOTE
This device may be used with all devices certied with
the Z-Wave Plus certicate and should be compatible with such devices pro-
duced by other manufacturers.
i
NOTE
FIBARO CO Sensor 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.

OPERATING THE DEVICE
#5: Operating the device
Waking up the device:
The CO Sensor needs to be woken up to receive information about
the new conguration from the Z-Wave controller, like parameters
and associations. To wake up the sensor manually click the button
located on the casing.
Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the
menu:
1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds
2. You should hear a short signal while the LED diode blinks white.
3. Release the button.
4. Wait for the device to indicate desired menu position with a
colour:
• White - conrm the start of the rmware update process
• Green - send the current state of CO Alarm
• Magenta - Z-Wave network's range test
• Yellow - the device reset
5. Press the button to conrm selection.
Resetting the device to factory defaults:
Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory set-
tings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and
user conguration will be deleted.
1. Press and hold the button.
2. Release the button when LED indicator glows white and short
beep sounds.
3. Click the button when LED indicator glows yellow.
4. After few seconds the device will be reset (conrmed by red LED
indicator and long beep).
NOTE
Resetting the device is
not the recommend-
ed way of removing
the device from the
Z-Wave network. Use
the reset procedure
only if the primary
controller is missing
or inoperable. Certain
device removal can
be achieved by the
procedure of removing
described in "Adding/
removing the device"
on page 7.
i
CAUTION
The alarm is very
loud! Only the rst
alarm sequence is
quieter.
!
Self-test:
1. Press and hold the button.
2. The LED indicator will glow white and you will hear a short beep.
3. Release the button when you hear the rst alarm sequence.
4. Move away from the device to protect your hearing.
If the self-test procedure does not result in emitting sound
and red light signal, replace the device.
!
NOTE
CO Sensor must be
detached from the wall
and battery level must
be greater than 30%
of its full capacity to
perform the rmware
update process.

BATTERY
#7: Battery
Checking battery level:
FIBARO CO Sensor automatically warns about low battery with one
yellow blink and a short beep, when battery level is low.
Replacing the battery:
1. Remove the device from the cover by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the paper strip to take out the battery.
3. Press and hold the button for at least one second.
4. Insert a new CR123A battery observing the polarities shown inside.
5. Attach the device to its cover by turning it clockwise and perform the
test (as described in #5: Operating the device).
CAUTION
Using batteries other
than specied may
result in explosion.
Dispose of properly,
observing environ-
mental protection
rules.
!
FIBARO CO Sensor can be powered with CR123A (included) battery.
Estimated battery life with device on default settings is 3 years (test-
ed with Panasonic Industrial Lithium).
CAUTION
Use only type of
battery specied in
this manual and keep
proper polarity!

ASSOCIATIONS
#8: Associations
The device provides the association of six groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and
allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “CO Alarm” is assigned to the device
status - devices in this group will be switched on/o when CO Alarm
status changes.
3rd association group – “CO Alarm” is assigned to the device sta-
tus - devices in this group will receive notication when CO Alarm
status changes. Useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
4th association group – “CO Level” is assigned to measured CO
level - devices in this group will be switched on/o after exceeding
the level of CO concentration specied in parameter 14.
5th association group –“Tamper Alarm” is assigned to the tamper -
sends tamper alarm and cancellation frames to the associated devices.
6th association group – “CO Alarm BC” is assigned to the device
status - devices in this group will receive sensor alarm frames when
CO Alarm status changes. Provides backward compatibility with con-
trollers not supporting Z-Wave Plus protocol.
7th association group – “Tamper Alarm BC” is assigned to the
tamper - sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the
associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers
not supporting Z-Wave Plus protocol.
Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices with-
in the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shut-
ter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Devices.
3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
4. Select the Associations tab.
5. Dene to which group and which devices to associate.
6. Save the changes.
7. Press the button to wake up the device or wait until the auto-awa-
ken time has elapsed.
The CO Sensor in 2nd to 7th group allows to control 5 regular or multi-
channel devices per an association group.
“Lifeline” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1
node can be assigned.
It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general,
as the response time to control commands depends on the number of
associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be de-
layed.
NOTE
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.
i
NOTE
2nd and 4th associa-
tion groups use BASIC
CC, but the device
does not repond to
GET commands.

ADVANCED PARAMETERS
#9: Advanced parameters
Wake up interval
Available settings: 0or 3600-43200 (in seconds, 1h - 12h)
Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)
The CO Sensor will wake up at each dened time interval and always
try to connect with the main controller. After successful communica-
tion attempt, the device will update conguration parameters, associ-
ations, settings and then will go into Z-Wave communication standby.
After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device
will go into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish
connection with the main controller after the next time interval.
Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notication to
the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually
using the button.
Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a
longer battery life.
2. Z-Wave notications
This parameter allows to set the actions which result in sending noti-
cations to the Z-Wave network controller.
Available settings: 0- both actions disabled
1 - tampering (opened casing)
2 - exceeding the temperature
3 - both actions enabled
Default setting: 0Parameter size: 1[byte]
The CO Sensor allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The
settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that
may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
In order to congure the CO Sensor (using the Home Center control-
ler):
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Devices.
3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
4. Select the Parameters tab.
5. Change values of selected parameters.
6. Save your changes.
7. Press the button to wake up the device or wait until the auto-awa-
ken time has elapsed.
