12OPERATING THE DEVICE#6: Operating the deviceControlling 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:Dimming/brightening is performed by moving the slider. The current status of the Dimmer 2 is shown on the bar indicator.Turning the device ON/OFF – ON and OFF icons are used for setting the last saved state or turning o the Dimmer 2.

13OPERATING THE DEVICEControlling 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.Resetting the Dimmer 2: 1. Disconnect the power supply2. Remove the Dimmer 2 from the wall switch box3. Connect the power supply4. Locate the B-button on the housing5. Press and hold the B-button to enter the menu mode6. Wait for the visual LED indicator to turn yellow7. Quickly release and click the B-button again8. After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with the red LED indicator colour9. The device enters the calibration modeNOTEResetting the device is not the recommend-ed way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary con-troller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the pro-cedure of removing described in „Adding/removing the device” on page 11.iControlling the Dimmer 2 using the B-button: FIBARO Dimmer 2 is equipped with a B-button, which allows to use the MENU mode and additionally perform the following actions:1x click:• alarm mode cancellation (ashing alarm)• exit the error mode• select the desired MENU option (if MENU mode is active)3x click:• send the Node Info Z-Wave command frame (adding/removing)Holding:• enter the MENU mode (conrmed by the LED indicator)

14OPERATING THE DEVICEMENU mode & visual indications:FIBARO Dimmer 2 has a MENU with each position indicated by the specied LED indicator colour. In order to enter the menu press the B-button and hold for at least 2 seconds. While the B-button is still pressed, LED indicator colour will change in the following sequence:BLUE - initiate the load calibration procedure (see „Calibration” on page 15)RED - load calibration procedure with FIBARO Bypass 2 (see „Calibra-tion” on page 15)WHITE - activate turning the load on/o using the B-buttonGREEN - reset the energy consumption data memory (see „Power and energy consumption measurement” on page 16)VIOLET - initiate the Z-Wave network range test (see „Z-Wave range test” on page 18)YELLOW - reset the FIBARO Dimmer 2 to factory defaultsRelease the B-button to choose the desired function and conrm your choice with the B-button click.

15CALIBRATION#7: CalibrationDimmer 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 conrmed 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).CAUTIONSome 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.!CAUTIONAfter 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.!CAUTIONDuring 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.!

16POWER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION#8: Power and energy consumptionFIBARO 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.CAUTIONFIBARO 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 dier from ac-tual power consumed by the device. !CAUTIONFIBARO 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 supply2. Press and hold the B-button for a few seconds, until LED indica-tor glows GREEN3. Release the B-button. 4. Press the B-button briey5.

In the case of report-ing incorrect values change the values of parameters 58 and 59.

17ASSOCIATIONS#9: AssociationsThe 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” tab3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated4. Wait for the conguration process to end. Sending relevant infor-mation to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutesNOTEDimmer 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.iNOTEAssociation 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.iDimmer 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.

18ZWAVE RANGE TEST#10: Z-Wave range testFIBARO Dimmer 2 has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range: 1. Press and hold the B-button until the visual indicator glows violet2. Release the B-button3. Press the B-button again, briey4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below)5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button brieyZ-Wave range tester signalling modes:Visual indicator pulsing green - Dimmer 2 attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct commu-nication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed com-munication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow. Visual indicator glowing green - Dimmer 2 communicates with the main controller directly. Visual indicator pulsing yellow - Dimmer 2 tries to establish a rout-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 conrmed 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).CAUTIONTo 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.!NOTECommunication 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.i

19ERROR MODES#11: Error modesDescription of error messages of the Dimmer 2 Events result from installation aws, faulty light source operation or incorrect manual changes in advanced conguration. 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 ERRORDimmer 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 ERRORDimmer 2 is equipped with functionality of detecting the burnt out bulb. In case of such situation, Dimmer 2 sends the notication about load failure. Described function is not available for values of parame-ter 58 dierent 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 ERRORAppearing 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.NOTEPressing any of the connected switches or changing state of the device using the con-troller will exit error mode. iNOTEIf 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

20ERROR MODESD) OVERCURRENT ERRORAppearing 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 ERRORAppearing 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 ERRORAppearing 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 ERRORAppearing 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.

21ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY#12: Additional functionalitySoftware updateDimmer 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 microcontrollerOperating 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 congured in conguration 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)

It aects 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 conict 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 certied 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.
