SMOKE SENSOR

FGSS-001-EN-A-v1.01

The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a universal, optical Z-Wave smoke sensor. The

device can be hard wired (12 or 24 VDC) or battery operated (battery life 3 years*).

Smoke detection is signaled through siren and LED diode blinking. Additionally, the

smoke sensor signal can be sent to an alarm system or fire alarm system hub,

through a NC (normally closed) contact terminals.

The optical sensor detects smoke at an early stage of fire, often before flames

appear and temperature starts to rise significantly. Moreover the device has a

built-in temperature sensor, which can also trigger the alarm once the specified

temperatute threshold is exceeded.

The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is designed to be placed on a wall or ceiling. LED

indicator signals fire, operating mode and used to see if device is within the

Z-Wave network. The smoke sensor is designed to operate in confined spaces,

under normal conditions (lacking smoke, dust, condensed water vapor).

I. Z-WAVE NETWORK INCLUSION

There are two ways to include a Fibaro Smoke Sensor into the Z-Wave network:

1) Automatically, using the auto inclusion function (available in constant current

powering mode), or

2) Manually - using the B-button (option available in both powering modes -

hard wired or battery powered).

Including a Fibaro Smoke Sensor into the Z-Wave network in auto inclusion mode:

1) Make sure the Fibaro Smoke Sensor’s power is disconnected and/or the battery

is removed prior to auto inclusion and located within the direct range of Z-Wave

controller.

2) Set the main controller into the learning mode

(see main controller’s operating manual).

3) Connect the power to the sensor to include it into the Z-Wave network.

4) Fibaro Smoke Sensor will be detected and included into the Z-Wave network.

BATTERY TIPS

Fibaro Smoke Sensor’s battery life is approximately 3 years when

on optimum settings. The current battery level is displayed in the

Home Center 2 interface. Red battery icon means that battery

needs replacement. In order to avoid triggering tamper alarm while

replacing the battery, 2-nd association group’s associations must

be deleted, and Sensor’s parameters’ configuration set to default.

In addition, the device itself, apart from the main controller,

monitors the battery level and a low battery is signaled with a

yellow blinking LED and an intermittent sound alarm (interval set

in parameter 87). The Fibaro Smoke Sensor can signal a low

battery level for approximately 30 days.

i

IV. 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 source to +12/24 and GND

terminals (see diagram #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. Smoke detection is sent immediately. Configuration

parameters and association settings are sent periodically at specified wake up

intervals, or at a manual wake up (triple click B-button). In DC powering mode,

configuration and association parameters are sent when necessary, and

additionally the smoke sensor serves as a Z-Wave signal repeater.

Switching to a constant current powering mode:

1) Exclude a sensor from the Z-Wave network.

2) Disconnect the battery,

3) Install the constant power connecting terminal, observing the diagram #3.

4) Connect the constant current power to the power terminal (12 / 24 VDC) to +12

and GND terminals observing wiring diagram #3.

5) Include Fibaro Smoke Sensor into the Z-Wave network.

NOTE

1. It’s not possible to power the device from a battery and VDC

power source simultaneously. When using a VDC power souce it’s

recommended to use another kind of power back up.

2. Home Center 2 checks the battery level once a day.

V. SMOKE DETECTION

Fibaro Smoke Sensor responds to the physical presence of smoke. Smoke

presence is required for the device to react. Fibaro Smoke Sensor performs a self

test every 5 seconds (see section VII) and checks for smoke presence. When

smoke is detected, the sensor checks 3 more times, at 1 second interval to see,

whether the smoke is actually present. Once the smoke presence is confirmed,

Fibaro Smoke Sensor triggers an alarm.

Smoke alarm is signaled by sending an appropriate alarm frame to devices and the

Z-Wave controller, opening NC contact, and also by a constant sound signal and

LED diode blinking red. Once the smoke alarm has ceased, the sensor checks 3

times, at 1 second interval, whether the smoke has actually disappeared before

getting back to normal operation, i.e. performing a self test each 5 seconds and

checking for presence of smoke.

NOTE

As described in section V, the Fibaro Smoke Sensor checks for

smoke presence every 5 seconds. In addition, the device checks

for damage and tests the Z-Wave network communication at each

wake up interval (see section VIII).

NOTE

Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a multiple use device, however, for

greater safety, it’s recommended to replace the device with a new

one after a fire occurance.

!

i

VI. DETECTING FIRE THROUGH TEMPERATURE ALARM

Apart from detecting smoke presence, Fibaro Smoke Sensor can detect fire by

recording a rapid temperature rise. Temperature alarm threshold is user defined

(parameter 81). Temperature alarm is signaled by the blinking red LED signaling

diode and an intermittent sound signal.

NOTE

Parameter 81 value is set to 54ºC by default. Any modification of

this parameter may cause the Fibaro Smoke Sensor not to work

within the valid safety regulations of your country.

!

VII. MALFUNCTION DETECTION

The Fibaro Smoke Sensor can automatically detect a malfunction. As described in

section V, the Fibaro Smoke Sensor performs a self test every 5 seconds. If a malfunction

is detected (e.g. damaged smoke chamber) an intermittent sound alarm will start, LED

diode will blink red and alarm will be sent to the Z-Wave network controller and

associated devices.

Once a malfunction has been detected, it’s recommended to:

• check the power source (replace battery or check VDC adapter’s voltage),

• check whether the Smoke Sensor is exposed to direct light.

If a malfunction is continually reported, it’s recommended to replace a the Fibaro Smoke

Sensor with new one.

Self test may be triggered manually:

1) Make sure the device is being powered.

2) Press and hold the B-button untill the LED glows white and short alarm sounds.

3) Keep holding the B-button for an additional 3 seconds from the first beep to check the

smoke chamber operation.

LED indicator colour changing to green and beep mean the positive result. If the LED

indicator changes its colour to red, the sensor is malfunctioning.

NOTE

Any service or repair must be carried out by the manufacturer.

!

VIII. DETECTING OUT OF Z-WAVE RANGE

When included in the Z-Wave network, Fibaro Smoke Sensor tests the network

communication. The Z-Wave network communication test is performed in both hard wired

and battery powering modes during every temperature report. By default, once the

ambient temperature changes by 2ºC, according to parameters 10 and 12 settings. In

addition, in battery mode, the Z-Wave network communication test is performed by poling

the device. In hard wired mode, the Z-Wave network communication test is performed in

time intervals defined by parameter 80 settings. Lack of the Z-Wave network communica-

tion is signaled by an intermittent alarm sound and LED blinking pink.

Once a Fibaro Smoke Sensor has reported no Z-Wave network communication, it’s

recommended to wake up the device by triple clicking the B-button. If it doesn’t stop the

alarm, Z-Wave networks operation and the main controllers operation need to be verified.

The Fibaro Smoke Sensor will cancel the Z-Wave network communication alarm once it

communicates with the network after manual or automatic wake up.

NOTE

It’s not recommended to deactivate the Z-Wave network communication

test.

IX. SENSOR’S SENSITIVITY LEVEL CONFIGURATION

There are 3 sensitivity levels of the optical smoke detector used in Fibaro Smoke Sensor.

By default, the detector is set to the middle sensitivity level. Sensitivity level depends on

the parameter 82 settings.

X. RESETTING THE FIBARO SMOKE SENSOR

The Fibaro Smoke Sensor reset erases the EPROM memory, including all information on

the Z-Wave network and the main controller.

Fibaro Smoke Sensor reset procedure:

1) Make sure the device has the power connected.

2) Press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds. LED will glow white.

3) Short signal will sound.

4) Release the B-button.

5) Wait until the LED glows yellow, signaling entering the 4th menu level.

6) Press the B-button briefly to confirm menu level choice.

Successful reset will be confirmed with the LED changing colour to red and fading. At the

same time, short beep will sound, same as at the power connection.

XI. OPERATING THROUGH THE Z-WAVE NETWORK

Fibaro Smoke Sensor has a built in smoke detector and a temperature sensor, which

makes it a multi channel device. In the Home Center 2 menu it will be presented as two

devices, depending on the main controller software version*:
