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 new Z-Wave based Smoke Sensor is an ultra light device, that is battery and 12/24 V DC powered for
maximum protection from flaming and smoldering fires. It has two alarm indicators: built-in siren and RGB
visual indicator. The 65 (diameter) x 28 (height) mm Smoke Sensor features a built-in electronic recording
device, facilitating an investigation of fire accidents.
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
POWERING MODES
There are two powering modes for the Fibaro Smoke Sensor. By default it's powered by a factory included
battery. Alternatively it can work with a constant current, after connecting a 12 / 24 VDC power supply to
+12/24 and GND terminals (see diagram no.3). Powering mode configuration is carried out automatically,
while sensor is being included into the Z-Wave network. When battery powered, a Fibaro Smoke Sensor
communicates with the Z-Wave network main controller periodically. Detected alarms are sent immediately,
but configuration parameters and associations settings only at specified wake up intervals, or at a manual
wake up (B-button triple click). In DC powering mode, configuration and associations parameters are sent
when necessary, and in addition sensor serves as a Z-Wave signal repeater.
