Declarations of conformity:
FIBARO RGBW Controller is a universal, Z-Wave compatible RGB/RGBW controller. FIBARO RGBW Controller uses PWM output signal, which enables it to control LED, RGB, RGBW strips, halogen lights and fans. Controlled devices may be powered by 12 or 24 VDC. In addition the device supports up to four, 0V – 10V analog sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind sensors, air quality sensors, light sensors etc. All IN and OUT terminals may be user configured for LED control or 0V-10V signal readouts.
This device may be used with all devices certified with Z-Wave certificate and should be compatible with such devices produced by other manufacturers.

Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add the device to existing Z-Wave network.
The device can be added to the network manually or using auto-inclusion function.
To add the device to the Z-Wave network using auto-inclusion:
To disable auto-inclusion mode press the B-button briefly, after connecting the power supply.
To add the device to the Z-Wave network manually:

Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from the existing Z-Wave network.
To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:
FIBARO RGBW Controller allows for the active power and energy consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. Home Center. Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller 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 suppliers 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.
Resetting consumption memory:
RGBW Controller allows to erase stored consumption data in two ways:
Reset procedure erases memory of the device, including all information on energy consumption, user-defined colour presets, the Z-Wave network and the main controller.
Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.
Resetting the RGBW Controller:
FIBARO RGBW Controller offers fully configurable operating modes. Operating mode is set during first configuration in Home Center 2 interface. Other main controllers require dedicated setting of parameter 14.
FIBARO RGBW Controller’s operating modes:
The device may be controlled by momentary or toggle switches.
FIBARO RGBW Controller may serve as 0-10V input module and operate with any 0-10V sensor, e.g. temperature sensors, wind speed/direction sensors, air quality sensors, light sensors, etc.
FIBARO RGBW Controller has 4 controllable inputs I1-I4, configured by default to work with push buttons. Each input controls designated channel, i.e.:
– I1 controls R channel.
– I2 controls G channel.
– I3 controls B channel.
– I4 controls W channel.
Controlling I1-I4 inputs is achieved by connecting ground wire (GND) to specified channel.
Further, parameter’s 14 settings allow for following type of manual control:
FIBARO RGBW Controller has 4 controllable, analog inputs I1 – I4, allowing for 0-10V analog signal interpretation. This functionality may be used in operation with analog sensors and potentiometers. What’s more, in IN/OUT mode all inputs and outputs may be configured independently, e.g. I1 may be configured as 0-10V sensor input and I2-I4 may control LED strip or Halogen lamps.
Another option is to configure I1 as 0-10V input and connect 0-10V potentiometer to it, and connecting Halogen lamps to R output. At the same time, other inputs may work with 0-10V sensors.
Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
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 direct range.
FIBARO RGBW Controller allows for controlling 5 regular and 5 multichannel devices per an association group, out of which 1 field is reserved for the Z-Wave network main controller.
It is not recommended 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.
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):
FIBARO RGBW Controller allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
In order to configure FIBARO RGBW Controller (using the Home Center controller):
Maximum brightening level cannot be lower than Minimum dimmming level.
Minimum dimmming level cannot be higher than Maximum brightening level.
Each 4bit refers to given IN/OUT (channel) settings.
