Fibaro is a bi-directional wireless system. This means that the

signal is not only sent to the receivers, but also the receivers send

the confirmation of its reception. This operation confirms their

status to check whether they are active. Safety of the Fibaro

System transmission is comparable to the safety of transmission in

data bus wired systems.

Fibaro operates in the free band for data transmission. The

frequency depends on radio regulations in individual country. Each

Fibaro network has its own unique network identification number

(home ID), which is why it is possible to co-operate two or more

independent systems in a single building without any interference.

Although Z-Wave is quite new technology, it has already become

recognizable and officially binding standard, similarly to Wi-Fi.

Many manufacturers in various industries offer solutions based on

Z-Wave technology, guaranteeing their compatibility. This means

that the system is open and it may be extended in the future. Find

more information at www.fibaro.com.

Fibaro generates a dynamic network structure. After Fibaro System

is switched on, the location of its individual components is

automatically updated in real-time through status confirmation

signals received from devices operating in a "mesh" network.

The Fibaro Wall Plug is hereinafter referred to as Plug. It is

designed to turn on / off electrical devices (see specifications) using

radio waves, controllers and push button located in it's casing. Plug

automatically recognizes connected load and is protected from

overcurrent or short circuit. Features unique, real-time energy

consumption measuring through color changing, crystal LED ring.

II. Installation

1) Insert device into a socket,

2) Add device into the Z-Wave network if necessary,

3) Connect load to the Plug, making sure it does not exceed

2 500W,

4) Set the connected device switch to ON,

5) To turn on connected device manually turn on the Plug using B

button. (Alternative to remote control via Z-Wave controller)

Once the Plug is turned on, LED ring will glow.

6) Current power load is visualized with LED ring color,

7) Press B button to turn off the Plug manually,

8) Once the Plug is turned off, LED ring illumination is turned off as

well.

Through an association Fibaro Wall Plug may control another

Z-Wave network device, e.g. another Fibaro Wall Plug, Dimmer,

Relay Switch or Roller Shutter.

The Fibaro Wall Plug provides three association groups:

I association group is assigned to Plugs status - On / Off. Allows

for sending control command to associated devices whenever the

Plug is turned On or Off.

II association group allows for sending control commands to

associated devices depending on the current load. This association

group is configured through the advanced parameters no. 50, 51

and 52.

III association group reports relay's status to just one device,

Z-Wave network's main controller by default. It's not recommended

to modify settings of this association group.

The Fibaro Wall Plug allows for associating 5 normal devices per

single association group, out of which 1 field is always reserved for

main controller.

VII. Association

NOTE

To disable auto-inclusion press the B button once

after inserting the Plug into a socket.

NOTE

Association allows for direct communication

between Z-Wave network devices. Main controller

does not take part in such communication.

Fibaro Wall Plug offers a wide variety of advanced configuration

settings. Below parameters can be accessed from main controllers

configuration interface.

III. Z-Wave network inclusion

Fibaro Wall Plug may be controlled manually, by the B button

located on its casing, or via any Z-Wave controller. To include the

Plug into the Z-Wave network please complete following tasks:

1) Insert the Plug into a socket,

2) Auto-inclusion will be activated, i.e. Plug automatically starts

looking for Z-Wave network controller. Auto-inclusion activation is

signaled by a single, red, LED ring blink.

3) Set the Z-Wave network main controller into learning mode (see

Z-Wave network controller operating manual)

4) Fibaro Wall Plug should be recognized and automatically

included into the Z-Wave network.

After the inclusion process is completed, Plug's auto-inclusion

function is deactivated, i.e. Plug will not try to include itself into the

Z-Wave network.

NOTE

Resetting the Plug does not mean is has been

removed from Z-Wave network controller's

memory. Remove the Plug from Z-Wave network

controller's memory before carrying out the

resetting procedure.

VI. Operating the Plug through Z-Wave network

After successful inclusion Plug will be represented in the Home

Center 2 by the following, single icon:

Clicking ON/OFF will turn a connected device On or Off.

NOTE

Group I association commands are sent only in

case of manual operation through the B button.

Group II association commands are sent

automatically, depending on parameters no. 50, 51

and 52 settings.

NOTE

Please contact your local electricity supplier for the

current rates.

2) Fibaro Wall Plug stores consumed electricity data in its memory,

which means disconnecting the Plug from a socket does not erase

the data.

To reset electricity consumption memory:

a) Insert the Plug in a socket,

b) Press and hold the B button for 5-10 seconds until LED ring

glows green,

c) Release the B button,

d) Press the B button briefly.

Resetting electricity consumption memory will be signaled by

double, green, LED ring blink. Plug's relay won't change its status.

NOTE

Turning off the LED ring turns off alarm signaling

as well.

3) Frequently asked questions about power and energy

consumption measuring.

Why doesn't a device consume precisely 100W, when its data

plate says this is the power exactly?

Power data specified by producers are often based on rough

estimates or measured in perfect conditions. Real world power

depends on mains voltage, device condition or ambient conditions

the device is used in. It may happen that two identical devices will

consume different amounts of energy.

Why power of the same device differs depending on the socket

it is connected to, in the same house?

Such things happen because of mains voltage fluctuations. Causes

also include wire lengths and voltage drops between the sockets.

Why the power of the same device differs in times of day?

The reason is the mains voltage fluctuations.

Why do we measure power, not any other parameter instead?

Power measuring is important because based on this parameter

electricity suppliers charge households for energy use.

Why certain devices power fluctuates instead of being

constant?

Some devices may have such a characteristic, e.g. computers.

In case of devices frequently, significantly changing power

consumption, e.g. plasma TVs, it is recommended to modify

configuration parameters to optimize the Z-Wave network use.

Modify parameters no. 40, 42 and 43 settings in order to reduce the

frequency of reporting the power use.

To reduce the number of power reports, value of the parameters 42

and/or 43 must be increased, based on user's experience. (e.g.

parameter 42 set to 30 and parameter 43 set to 60).

NOTE

Some Z-Wave network controllers allow for

resetting electricity consumption from controllers

menu.

The Fibaro Wall Plug features built-in network range status, in

relation to the Z-Wave network main controller.

To test the range:

1) Insert Plug into a mains socket,

2) Press and hold the B button for 10-15 seconds until the LED ring

glows violet,

3) Release the B button,

4) Press the B button briefly.

5) LED ring signals Z-Wave network range - see below for signaling

modes description.

6) To exit range testing mode press the B button briefly. Plugs relay

will not change its status.

Z-Wave network range signaling modes:

LED ring pulsing green - Wall Plug tries to establish direct

connection with the main controller. If direct connection cannot be

established, Plug will try routing connection with the main controller

which will be signaled by LED ring pulsing yellow.

LED ring glowing green - Wall Plug managed to establish a direct

connection with the main controller.

LED ring pulsing yellow - Wall Plug is trying to establish routed

connection with the main cotroller, via other Z-Wave devices acting

as signal repeaters.

LED ring glowing yellow - Wall Plug managed to establish routed

connection with the main controller. After 2 seconds the Plug will try

again to establish a direct connection with the main controller, which

will be signaled by LED ring pulsing green.

LED ring pulsing violet - Wall Plug is located outside the Z-Wave

network's range or the network is busy. Ultimately, failure to connect

with the main controller will be signalled by LED ring pulsing red.

After 2 seconds the Plug will again try to establish a direct

connection with the main controller which will be signalled by LED

ring blinking green.

To include the Plug manually, without the use of auto-inclusion:

1) Set the Z-Wave controller into the learn-mode (see Z-Wave

controller operating manual),

2) Triple click the B button, located on the Plug's casing

IV. Removing from Z-Wave network

To remove Fibaro Wall Plug from the Z-Wave network:

1) Insert the Plug into a socket,

2) Set the Z-Wave network controller into the learn-mode (see

Z-Wave controller operating manual)

3) Triple click the B button, located on the Plug's casing.

ALARMS:

Z-Wave network alarm will be signalled by LED ring according to the

parameter 63 settings. Blinking in Red/Blue/White is a default

setting.

Connected device state will be changed according to the parameter

35 settings. By default, connected device state will remain

unchanged.

Wall Plug will be signaling an alarm through the time period specified

in the parameter 39 (10 minutes by default), unless the alarm is

cancelled earlier. In addition Wall Plug may exit the alarm mode after

the B-button has been pressed and held for 2 - 5 seconds.

I. General information about Fibaro System

Fibaro is a wireless system, based on Z-Wave technology. Fibaro

provides many advantages when compared to similar systems. In

general, radio systems create a direct connection between the

receiver and transmitter. But the radio signal is weakened by

various obstacles located on its path (apartment walls, furniture,

etc.) and in extreme cases it fails to transfer required data. The

advantage of Fibaro System is that its devices, apart from being

transmitters and receivers, are also signal duplicators. When a

direct connection path between the transmitter and the receiver

cannot be established, the connection may be achieved through

other intermediate devices.

V. Resetting Fibaro Wall Plug

Reset procedure clears the Plug's memory, including Z-Wave

network controller information and energy consumption data.

To reset Fibaro Wall Plug:

1) Insert the Plug into a socket,

2) Press and hold the B button for 15 - 20 seconds until LED ring

glows yellow,

3) Release the B button,

4) Press the B button, briefly.

Once the reset procedure is completed, LED ring will glow red and

turn off. Plug's relay will turn off as well.

To add an association (using Home Center 2 Interface) go to device

settings and click the following icon:

Select the "device options" tab. Then specify to which group and

what devices are to be associated. Sending relevant information to

devices added to association groups may take even a few minutes.

1) Fibaro Wall Plug allows for the current load and power

consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main controller, e.g.

Home Center 2. Measuring is carried out by an independent

microprocessor dedicated exclusively for this purpose, assuring

maximum accuracy and precision.

Electric power - power consumed by an electric device in an

instant, in Watts (W).

Electric energy - energy consumed by a device through a time

period. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). One

kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over a

period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000 Wh.

VIII. Current load and energy consumption

IX. Led rings settings and readings

The Fibaro Wall Plug has built-in, colour changing LED ring,

signaling connected devices power and operating status. Colours

shown are those of a RGB scheme. In addition, the LED ring signals

Plugs range in relation to the Z-Wave networks main controller and

overheating protection activation (parameter no.70).

LED rings signaling modes:

1) Wall Plugs On / Off signaled with a color defined by relevant

parameter settings (see parameters no. 60, 61, 62)

2) Alarm status signaled according to parameters 63 settings,

3) Energy meter reset signaled by double, green blink,

4) Once inserted to mains socket, LED ring signals Z-Wave network

inclusion status. Single green blink means it's included. Single red

blink means Plug has not been included in the Z-Wave network.

5) Blinking yellow means memory write during software update

process,

6) Alternating blinking, yellow / red, signals overheating warning

(overload).

LED ring illumination may be turned off completely. To do so:

1) Insert the Plug in a socket,

2) Press and hold the B button for 2-5 seconds, till LED ring starts

pulsing white,

3) Release the B button,

4) Press the B button briefly.

Plugs relay will not change its status. After the LED ring has been

turned off, it can be turned on by completing again the above

procedure.

GENERAL:

1. Always on function

Once activated, Wall Plug will keep a connected device constantly

ON, will stop reacting to alarm frames and B-button push.

"Always on" function turns the Plug into a power and energy meter.

Also, connected device will not be turned off upon receiving an alarm

frame from another Z-Wave device (parameter 35 will be ignored).

In "Always on" mode, connected device may be turned off only after

user defined power has been exceeded (parameter 70). In such a

case, connected device can be turned on again by pushing the

B-button or sending a control frame. By default, overload protection

is inactive. Default setting: 1

Available settings:

0 - function activated

1 - function inactive

Parameter: 1 [byte]

16 - Remember device status after power failure

Define how will the Plug react after the power supply is back on.

Default setting: 1

Available settings:

0 - Wall Plug does not memorize its state after a power failure.

Connected device will be off after the power supply is

reconnected.

1 - Wall Plug memorizes its state after a power failure.

Parameter: 1 [byte]

34. Reaction to alarms.

Define Z-Wave network alarms to which the Wall Plug will respond.

Default setting: 63

Available settings: 0 - 63.

1 - general alarm,

2 - smoke alarm,

4 - CO alarm,

8 - CO2 alarm,

16 - high temperature alarm,

32 - flood alarm,

63 - device responds to all types of alarm frames.

Set value may be a sum of available values, e.g. set value = 5 means

the Plug will respond to general alarm (1) and CO alarm (4).

Parameter: 1 [byte]

35. Wall Plug's response to alarm frames

Parameter defines how the Wall Plug will respond to alarms (device's

status change) Default setting: 0

Available settings:

0 - no reaction,

1 - turn on connected device. LED ring signals an alarm through

defined time period (parameter 39) or untill the alarm is

cancelled.

2 - turn off connected device. LED ring signals an alarm through

defined time period (parameter 39) or untill the alarm is

cancelled.

3 - cyclically change device state, each 1second. In alarm mode

Wall Plug does not report status change, power changes,

ignores alarm frames. After the defined time period has passed

(parameter 39) or after the alarm cancellation, connected

device is set to the previous state.

Parameter: 1[byte]

REPORTS

39. Alarm duration

Wall Plug's alarm mode duration. If a device sending an alarm frame

through the Z-Wave network sets alarm duration as well, this

parameter's settings are ignored.

Default setting: 600 (seconds).

Available settings: 1 - 65536 (seconds)

Parameter: 2[byte]

Reports on power load, sent to the main controller. Default settings

of below parameters are chosen in such a way that instantaneous

power load is shown without blocking the Z-Wave network in the

process. Default settings are good for most of the devices. In

specific cases it may be necessary to modify default settings in order

to optimize Z-Wave network's use. In extreme cases it is recommen-

ded to turn off reporting completely and configure power polling or

periodic reports in Home Center 2.

Fibaro Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency.

Below configuration parameters allow to specify how and how

frequently power load will be reported.

40. Immediate power report.

Parameter defines by how much power load must change, in

percents, to be reported to the main controller, with the highest

priority in the Z-Wave network. By default, Fibaro Wall Plug

immediately sends power report if the power load changes by 80%.

Default setting: 80 (%)

Available settings: 1 - 100 (%).

Value of 100 (%) means the reports are turned off.

Parameter: 1[byte].

NOTE

In extreme cases, reports may be sent every

second if rapid and significant power load changes

occur. Frequent reporting may overload the

Z-Wave network so these parameter's settings

should reflect significant changes in power load

only.

NOTE

If "always on" function is active (parameter 1), this

parameter's settings are ignored.
