General information about
the FIBARO System
FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the
Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through
a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Devices are not only
receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave
network’s range. It gives advantage over traditional wireless systems
that require direct link between transmitter and receiver, as a result the
construction of the building could aect network’s range negatively.
Every FIBARO network has its unique identication number (home
ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without
interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable to
wired systems.
Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation.
There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually
compatible, independently of manufacturer. It gives the system the
ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit:
www.baro.com.
Required overcurrent protection
Dimmer 2 must be protected with an overcurrent protection
(fuse) with a value not higher than 10A.

Controlling the Dimmer 2 using a switch:
Momentary switch (after releasing the switch a spring automatically
pushes back and disconnects the switch):
• Turning the light ON/OFF: change the position of switch no. 1. The
Dimmer 2 will be activated always at previously set brightness
level.
• Brightening/dimming the light: hold switch no. 1 down. When the
switch is held down, the Dimmer 2 will always reach the extreme
value of 1% or 99%.
• Turning the light ON completely: fast double-click switch no. 1.
The Dimmer 2 will set the load at 99%.
Toggle switch (operates as a two-position switch, it has no spring
that would set one position of the switch):
• Turning the light ON/OFF: toggle switch no. 1. The Dimmer 2 will
be activated always at previously set brightness level.
• Turning the light ON completely: toggle twice switch no. 1. The
Dimmer 2 will set the load at 99%.
Controlling the Dimmer 2 using FIBARO Home Center controller:
After adding the Dimmer 2 to the network, it will be represented in
the FIBARO Home Center controller by the following icon:

the last saved state or turning o the Dimmer 2.
13
OPERATING THE DEVICE
Controlling the Dimmer 2 using a command: ALL ON/ALL OFF in
non-secure mode:
The Dimmer 2 responds to commands ALL ON/ALL OFF that may be
sent by the Z-Wave controller. ALL ON/ALL OFF commands are usually
implemented in the remote controllers using Z-wave protocol, and
they are used to issue commands directed to the entire system.
By default, both commands ALL ON and ALL OFF are accepted. Set-
tings may be changed by modifying the value of parameter 11 (see
„Advanced parameters” on page 22). In this way the user may de-
termine to which commands the device should respond.

15
CALIBRATION
#7: Calibration
Dimmer 2 is equipped with an algorithm of smart light source detec-
tion. Depending on the connected type of light source, it automat-
ically adjusts an optimal control mode (leading edge for inductive
loads, trailing edge for capacitive or resistive loads). The procedure of
learning the light source type is called calibration.
Calibration automatically adjusts maximum and minimum light levels
(parameter 1 and 2). However, the installer is obliged to verify the
proper operation of the device, according to control modes descrip-
tion. There is a 10% probability that calibration settings will require a
manual correction. In a 2-wire connection for loads other than resis-
tive parameter 1 settings must be adjusted manually.
Calibration procedure is performed always after removing the device
from the Z-Wave network. If the device is not included, after each
power on/o calibration will occur. For the included device, calibra-
tion is performed in accordance with the parameter 35 settings.
Calibration may be forced:
• by setting parameter 13 to 1 or 2 (with/without FIBARO Bypass 2)
• through triple clicking and holding the main light switch (each
hold for more than 5 seconds)
• by selecting the appropriate MENU option using the B-button
(see „Operating the device” on page 12).
By default, calibration is performed without FIBARO Bypass 2. In case
of connecting the Bypass 2, it is required to force the appropriate cal-
ibration procedure using B-button menu or through parameter 13.
The device saves the last calibration enforcement mode (with or with-
out Bypass 2).
The result of calibration will be conrmed with the LED indicator
glowing in one of the following colours:
GREEN - Light source recognized as dimmable, dimming levels set,
brightness may be controlled using the S1 switch.
YELLOW - Light source recognized as non-dimmable, possibility to
turn ON/OFF connected light with default parameters settings.
RED - Calibration procedure failed. Possible reasons: lack of connect-
ed load or connected light source exceeds maximum power, which
may be controlled by the Dimmer 2.
BLINKING RED - Calibration procedure failed. Possible reasons: in-
stallation failure or damaged load (causing activation of the overcur-
rent protection).
CAUTION
Some types of LED
and CF lamps are de-
signed to operate in
leading edge mode
(with conventional
dimmers). Information
about proper opera-
tion mode of the bulb
should be included in
its manual. In this case
you have to manually
force the desired op-
erating mode using
parameter 30.
!
CAUTION
After changing the
load launch the cali-
bration or remove and
add the device. Before
changing the operat-
ing mode or perform-
ing the calibration pro-
cedure the light must
be turned o. Verify
the operating mode,
according to product
documentation.
!
CAUTION
During the calibration
procedure, radio con-
nection is disabled and
the Dimmer 2 does not
respond to any com-
mands. It may cause
temporary problems
with communication
in the Z-Wave network.
After completing the
calibration, communi-
cation with the mod-
ule will be restored.
!

POWER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION
#8: Power and energy
consumption
FIBARO Dimmer 2 allows for the active power and energy consump-
tion monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. Home
Center. Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-control-
ler technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision.
Electric active power - power that energy receiver is changing into a
work or a heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W].
Electric energy - energy consumed by a device through a time
period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by sup-
pliers on the basis of active power used in given unit of time. Most
commonly measured in kilowatt-hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is
equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over period of one hour,
1kWh = 1000Wh.
CAUTION
FIBARO Dimmer 2 in
the 3-wire connection
has the power and
energy measurement
function. In case of the
2-wire connection this
function is available
only for load of cosφ
≥ 0.99. In other cases
power is estimated
and can dier from ac-
tual power consumed
by the device.
!
CAUTION
FIBARO Dimmer 2
stores periodically
(every 5 minutes) the
consumption data
in the device mem-
ory. Disconnecting
the module from the
power supply will not
erase the energy con-
sumption data.
!
Resetting consumption memory:
Dimmer 2 allows to erase stored consumption data in three ways:
a) By resetting the device (see „Operating the device” on page 12).
b) Using functionality of a Z-Wave controller (see the controller’s man-
ual).
c) Manually clearing the data using the following procedure:
1. Make sure that the device is connected to the power supply
2. Press and hold the B-button for a few seconds, until LED indica-
tor glows GREEN
3. Release the B-button.
4. Press the B-button briey
5. Energy consumption memory has been erased

ASSOCIATIONS
#9: Associations
The association enables the Dimmer 2 to control directly a device
included in Z-Wave network e.g. other Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller
Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
The Dimmer 2 provides the association of ve groups:
1st Association Group „Lifeline” reports state of the device. Main
Z-Wave+ network controller should be added to this group. The „Life-
line” group can handle only one device. It is not recommended to
modify this group.
2nd Association Group „On/O (S1)” is assigned to switch no. 1.
Sends BASIC command class frame according to the state of the de-
vice.
3rd Association Group „Dimmer (S1)” is assigned to switch no. 1.
Sends MULTILEVEL SWITCH command class frame. Allows sending
dim/brighten command to associated devices.
4th Association Group „On/O (S2)” is assigned to switch no. 2.
Sends BASIC command class frame according to the state of the de-
vice.
5th Association Group „Dimmer (S2)” is assigned to switch no. 2.
Sends MULTILEVEL SWITCH command class frame. Allows sending
dim/brighten command to associated devices.
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):
1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab
3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated
4. Wait for the conguration process to end. Sending relevant infor-
mation to devices added to associated groups may take even a
few minutes
NOTE
Dimmer 2 supports
the operation of mul-
tichannel devices.
Multichannel devices
are devices that in-
clude two or more cir-
cuits inside one physi-
cal unit.
i
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 di-
rect range.
i
Dimmer 2 in 2nd to 5th group allows for controlling 5 regular and 5
multichannel devices per an association group, out of which 1 eld is
reserved for the Z-Wave network main controller. It is not recommend-
ed 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 delayed.
Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within
the Z-Wave system network using the wall switch connected to the
Dimmer 2.

ed communication with the main controller through other modules
(repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow - Dimmer 2 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 pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet - Dimmer 2 does communicate at the
maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves suc-
cessful it will be conrmed with a yellow glow. It’s not recommended
to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red - Dimmer 2 is not able to connect to
the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network de-
vice (repeater).
CAUTION
To make Z-Wave range
test possible, the de-
vice must be added
to the Z-Wave control-
ler. Testing may stress
the network, so it is
recommended to per-
form the test only in
special cases.

NOTE
Communication mode
of the Dimmer 2 may
switch between direct
and one using rout-
ing, especially if the
device is on the limit
of the direct range.

ERROR MODES
#11: Error modes
Description of error messages of the Dimmer 2
Events result from installation aws, faulty light source operation or
incorrect manual changes in advanced conguration. The device may
stop responding to user’s commands and actions, leaving the light
source o. Message with information about the type of error is sent
by default (using Z-Wave network).
Error messages:
A) OVERTEMPERATURE ERROR
Dimmer 2 features self-temperature measurement function. In case
of reaching critical temperature, the load is turned o and the gate-
way receives an information about exceeding maximum temperature
of the module.
B) LOAD ERROR
Dimmer 2 is equipped with functionality of detecting the burnt out
bulb. In case of such situation, Dimmer 2 sends the notication about
load failure. Described function is not available for values of parame-
ter 58 dierent than 0.
Power variation is detected in accordance with the settings of param-
eters 15 and 16.
Example:
Parameter 15 set to 30%.
Parameter 16 set to 5 seconds.
Dimmer 2 will detect the change of load at the moment of power
variation by 30% compared to standard power consumption (mea-
sured during the calibration) and after 5 seconds from brightness lev-
el stabilization.
This function is available only in a control mode compliant with the
mode recognized during the calibration (parameter 14 set to 1).
Appearing of an error may be the result of not connecting the load. It
may suggest burning out all of the loads connected to the Dimmer 2.
Damaged load should be immediately replaced. After connecting the
new load, FIBARO Dimmer 2 will return to normal operation.
C) SURGE ERROR
Appearing of an error may be the result of electrical surges, incorrect
load control (inductive load controlled in trailing edge mode) or con-
necting the prohibited type of load.
NOTE
Pressing any of the
connected switches or
changing state of the
device using the con-
troller will exit error
mode.
i
NOTE
If parameter 35 is set
to 3 or 4, the load will
be calibrated again af-
ter turning on the load
or an occurrence of
LOAD ERROR, SURGE
or OVERCURRENT er-
ror.
i
20
ERROR MODES
D) OVERCURRENT ERROR
Appearing of an error may also be the result of rapid powering on
the load. It may also occur if the soft-start functionality is disabled
(parameter 34 set to 0) or as a result of the short circuit.
If parameter 37 is set to 1, the device will automatically try to turn on
again.
If described error has been caused by the rapid powering on the load,
then FIBARO Dimmer 2 will return to normal operation after reen-
abling.
After three unsuccessful automatic tries of turning on the load, Dim-
mer 2 will stay in OVERCURRENT error mode (module turned o). In
such situation, it is required to remove the failure (possible short cir-
cuit in the installation.) Otherwise, it is recommended to set the long
soft-start (parameter 34 set to 2).
E) OVERLOAD ERROR
Appearing of an error is a result of connecting receivers with too
much power consumption. In this case FIBARO Dimmer 2 will auto-
matically turn o the lighting.
It is required to reduce power consumption of connected load (e.g. by
reducing the number of receivers) and turn on the light source again
by the wall switch or a Z-Wave command.
F) VOLTAGE DROP ERROR
Appearing of an error in a 2-wire connection may be the result of
mains voltage drop or a too high brightness level of the light source.
If parameter 37 is set to 1, the device will automatically try to turn on
again.
Voltage drop error suggests that parameter 2 value should be re-
duced until disappearing of the failure. You can also recalibrate the
load using parameter 13.
After three unsuccessful automatic tries of turning on the load, Dim-
mer 2 will stay in VOLTAGE DROP error mode (module turned o).
G) HARDWARE FAIL ERROR
Appearing of an error may be a result of serious hardware failure of
the Dimmer 2. In this case the Dimmer 2 sets the maximum brightness
level and the LED visual indicator starts blinking in red. All external
actions (Z-Wave commands, pressing the switches, menu settings)
will be ignored.
We recommend disconnecting the device from the power supply
and contacting the customer service or to initiate the guarantee
procedure.
This error may also appear as a result of enabling the Dimmer 2
without load connected to the output in 3-wire connection. It is not a
dangerous situation. We recommend disabling the fuse, connecting
the load and enabling the fuse again.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
#12: Additional functionality
Software update
Dimmer 2 features remote software update (initiated by the main
controller). Update status is signalled by the LED indicator with cyan
colour:
• slow blinking - transferring data via Z-Wave and saving to the
ash memory
• fast blinking - copying data from the external memory to the
memory of the microcontroller
Operating alarm data frames
FIBARO System allows user to set response of devices to alarm situa-
tions (response to data-frames ALARM_REPORT and SENSOR_ALARM_
REPORT). Dimmer 2 responds to the following types of alarms:
• General Purpose Alarm - GENERAL PURPOSE ALARM
• Smoke Alarm - ALARM CO2, ALARM CO, ALARM SMOKE
• Water Flooding Alarm - ALARM WATER
• Temperature Alarm - ALARM HEAT
Alarm data-frames are sent by devices that are system sensors (e.g.,
ood sensors, smoke detectors, motion detectors, etc.).
The device may respond in the following manner to received da-
ta-frames (settings are congured in conguration parameters, see
„Advanced parameters” on page 22):
0 - DEACTIVATION - the device does not respond to alarm data frames
1 - DIMMER 2 ON - the device turns on after detecting an alarm
2 - DIMMER 2 OFF - the device turns o after detecting an alarm
3 - ALARM FLASHING - the device periodically changes its status to
the opposite when it detects an alarm (lights on/o alternately)

maintenance for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase of the products. The one-year period
may be referred to as the “limited warranty period”.

and excludes all other warranties, express or implied, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including
without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, tness for a particular purpose, non-infringe-
ment and the implied condition of satisfactory quality.

If within the limited warranty period, the Customer discovers any covered warranty defects and noties the

the Company shall, at its option and as the Customer’s exclusive remedy, repair or replace F.O.B. point of
manufacture.
The remedies set forth in this limited warranty are exclusive. The sole and exclusive remedy for breach of
any warranty hereunder shall be limited to repair or replacement of the products.
In the event that the product cannot be repaired or replaced, the company reserves the right to substitute
a product of similar technical parameters.
The company will not refund the purchase price of the original product.
Failure by the Customer to give such written notice within the thirty (30) day time period shall be deemed
an absolute and unconditional waiver of the Customer’s claim for such covered defects. All costs and
expenses of dismantling, reinstallation and freight, including the time of the Company’s personnel and
representatives for site travel and diagnosis under this limited warranty, shall be borne by the Customer
unless accepted in writing by the Company. Products repaired or replaced during the limited warranty

party exceed the price paid by the customer for the specic products giving rise to the claim or cause of
action.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the company shall not be liable to the customer or
any third party for any general, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, in-
cluding, but not limited to, loss of prots or anticipated prots, business interruption, loss of use, revenue,

ing from any claim or cause of action relating to the product, whether such is based on warranty, contract,
tort (including negligence and strict liability.
These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any remedy. Some states
and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the
above exclusions may not apply to certain customers.

out of, connected with, or resulting from the use of Products, either alone or in combination with other
products/components.

5. GOVERNING LAW AND BINDING ARBITRATION:
Please read this section carefully. It aects customers’ rights and will have a substantial impact on how
claims the company and the customer have against each other are resolved. This limited warranty contains
a binding arbitration provision which may be enforced by the parties.
The Company and the Customer agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may
arise between them relating in any way to or arising out of this limited warranty or the Products will be
resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section.
A. Applicable Law. The Customer and the Company agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with
or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to principles of conict of
laws, will govern the limited warranty and Products and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise
between the Company and the Customer, except as otherwise stated herein. The Federal Arbitration Act
governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 5. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the
International Sales of Goods shall not apply.
B. Agreement to Arbitrate. The Company and the Customer each agree that any and all disputes or
claims that have arisen or may arise between them relating to or arising out of this limited warranty or
the Products shall be resolved exclusively through nal and binding arbitration, rather than in a court
proceeding. Alternatively, the Customer may assert his/her claims in small claims court, if the claims qualify
and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-rep-
resentative) basis.
The Company and the Customer agree that each of them may bring claims against the other only on an
individual basis and not as a plainti or class member in any purported class or representative action or
proceeding. Unless both the Company and the Customer agree, the arbitration may not consolidate or join
more than one person’s claims and many not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, represen-
tative, or class proceeding.
C. Opt-Out. The Customer may opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending the Company a writ-
ten opt-out notice, via certied mail and postmarked no later than 30 days after the date of purchase of
the Product. The opt-out notice must include the Customer’s name and address, the serial number of the
Product purchased, and the date and location of the purchase. All other parts of this limited warranty will
still apply.
D. Procedures. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration
Rules and Procedures or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, whichever as
applicable. JAMS’ rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. The use of the word “arbitrator” in this provision
shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over the arbitration; rather, the
JAMS’ rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration. The Customer will
have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator.
A Customer who intends to seek arbitration must rst make a written claim against the Company pursuant
to Section 4. If the Customer and the Company are unable to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days from
the date of the notice, the Company or the Customer may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for ini-
tiating arbitration proceedings is available on JAMS’ website. In addition to ling the form with JAMS, the
party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the other party. In the event the
Company initiates arbitration against a Customer, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical
address the Company has on le for the Customer.
The arbitration hearing shall be held in the county in which the Customer resides or at another mutually
agreed location.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Discovery or the exchange of non-privileged
information will be allowed pursuant to JAMS’ rules. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims
in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of
privilege recognized by law. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis
that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator’s award shall be nal and binding and judgment on
the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. An award
will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim, and will include a concise written
statement of the essential ndings and conclusions on which the award is based.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Payment of all ling, administration and arbitrator fees is governed by JAMS; provided, however, that when
a Customer initiates arbitration against the Company, the fee required to be paid by the Customer is that
amount designated by JAMS for consumer arbitrations. All other costs will be paid by the Company.
If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this limited warranty is invalid or unenforceable, the other
parts of the limited warranty shall still apply to the extent applicable. In the event that this agreement to
arbitrate is wholly inapplicable, the Customers agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise
between the Customer and the Company must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located
in Cook County, Illinois. The Customer agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located
within Cook County, Illinois, for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
