To include the Fibaro Switch relay into the network, set the Home Center controller into the inclusion mode
and then press the button of the device or the push-button B located inside the housing of the switch relay
three times during 1.5 seconds. The LED will become green for 3 seconds and then turn off. The device is
now ready to work.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the
international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the
frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each message is reconfirmed
(two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed
network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote controls (R). This results in a
number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported
by a specific device.

1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the
network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other
controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The
image also shows that its not possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with
static controllers.
Product description
The Fibar Insert Switch allows controlling two independent loads both via Z-Wave wirelessly and locally
utilizing a traditional wall switch. The device is placed in a wall box right behind the normal switch. The
switch is not longer directly connected to the load but acts as input device for the Fibar insert that is
controlling the load. The solution works with all switch design with or without neutral position as long as
there is enough space in the wall box behind the switch. The device is just 15 mm height. The available
space depends on the size of the traditional switch, the dimensions of the wall box and the amount of
additional cabling placed in this box. This device is designed for a 3 wire system and needs a neutral wire in
the wall box.
Before Device is installed
Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order to ensure
an error-free functioning.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230?Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the
voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of guarantee claim
has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The product must be checked for
damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the product must not be operated in any
case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be assured, the voltage supply has to be
interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be protected from unintended operation.
Installation Guidelines
The switch insert is designed to fit into standard circular European wall boxes with 60 mm diameter. With its
15 mm height, it can be also mounted behind traditional wall switches. This wall switch serves as an
external control switch to switch loads. The relay itself is realized in the insert.

The switch is able to dispense the 230V power directly as connected load or switch a second external load.
The wirings are shown below. In both cases the two wired from the mains distribution panel are connected
to the inserts contacts Nand L. Depending on whether the 230 V supply of the switch or an external power
supply is used to power the electrical load, either the 230 V supply or the external power supply has to be
connected to the insert contact I . The electrical load is then connected to the other pole of the 230 V power
supply or with the second pole of the additional power supply.
The switch can be operated locally using a switching paddle installed on the wall box. To connect the
switching paddle with the dimmer insert it has to be connected with the insert contacts S1, S2 and
Sx. Attention: There must not be mains-power connected to the insert contacts. This would
immediately lead to a destruction of the dimmer.

.
The local operation can be realized by a single switching paddle (bistable), a double switching paddle
(bistable), a single button (monostable) or a double button (monostable). The connected switch type must
be selected according to the inclusion by setting the configuration parameter 14. The local switch is
connected with the switch insert as shown in the schematics. If a bistable switch is connected it has to stay
connected until the switch is included into the Z-Wave network.
It is also possible to use a double switch for local control. In this case the second switching paddle is only
used for wireless control and has no local function. The diagrams below show the wiring in this case using a
230 V power supply or an alternative power supply.

Behavior within the Z-Wave network
IOn factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an
existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the
primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion
mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or
exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave
the network. Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.
If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network.
Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to
be reset first.
Blinking red/green LED indicates that the device is in factory reset state. Once the controller is turned into
inclusion mode tripple click the button of the device or the push-button B located inside the housing
of the switch relay to include the device. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that
will be turned off shortly afterwards. The device is excluded by tripple click on one of the buttons when
the controller is in exclusion mode.
Operating the device
The switch insert is able to switch two different electrical loads. The actuator can directly be operated by a
local switching paddle. If the switch is a conventional button, every button impulse will connect the switch
ON or OFF. Using a switching paddle instead of a button the operation is the same with the exception that
(c) 2016 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Antonstr. 3, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, All rights reserved, www.zwaveeurope.com - pp 5

the switching paddle has to be switched back into the OFF status afterwards manually.
The device is also able to report status changes to a controller (communication pattern 2) and to remotely
operate other devices (communication pattern 5). The switch can be controlled by every Z-Wave device
(communication pattern 1, 4 and 7). Any existing second switch can only be used for remote control of other
actuators according to communication pattern 5 and not to control the local switch.
Associations
AZ-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling
another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to
maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups
and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event
happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1 external Switch No 1 (max. nodes in group: 16)
2 external Switch No 2 (max. nodes in group: 16)
3 (max. nodes in group: 1)
Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can
adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow to configure signed values. In order to set values in the range 128
… 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: to set a
parameter to 200? it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of two byte value
the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
