OPERATING MANUAL
SMOKE SENSOR
FGSD-002-EN-A-v1.00
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is a universal, optical Z-Wave smoke sensor. Fire alarm
is signaled by sound, visual indicator blinking and by sending Z-Wave control
commands.
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 is programmable indicator of exceeding set
temperature level.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor is designed to be placed on a wall or ceiling. Visual
indicator signals fire, operating mode and is 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).

self-test (see p. VI).
CAUTION
When handled carelessly or used in non-specified environment
!
conditions, the device may not function properly. It's highly
recommended to take all safety precautions to ensure safety and
property protection.
CAUTION
Depending on the Smoke Sensors internal conditions (e.g. battery
discharge, device failure, etc.) and ambient conditions, fire alarms
are not always effective in all situations. Smoke Sensors must be
tested regularly according to this operating manual and local code.
Ventilation systems, chimneys and potentially dangerous devices
that can cause a fire should be regularly inspected as well.
!
There are various situations against which the fire alarm may not
be effective, for example:
1) Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for
example, when a person's clothes catch fire while cooking;
2) Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector
due to a closed door or other obstruction;
3) Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an
occupant's egress is blocked even with properly located
detectors.
CAUTION
Current studies show that fire alarms may not awake all sleeping
!
individuals and that it is the responsibility of other residents to
assist those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or
those who may be incapable of safely leaving the area unassisted.

BATTERY TIPS
Fibaro Smoke Sensor's battery life is at least equal to two years.
The current battery level is displayed in the Z-Wave controller's
interface, e.g. Home Center 2 or Home Center Lite. Red battery
i
icon means that battery needs replacement.
In addition, the device itself, apart from the main controller,
monitors the battery level and a low battery is signaled with a
yellow blinking visual indicator and an intermittent sound alarm.
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor reports low battery level for at least 30
days until it is completely discharged.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
Once a Fibaro Smoke Sensor has reported low battery level or battery is
discharged, it should be replaced observing the following procedure:
1) Detach the sensor from its cover by turning the device counter-clockwise.
2) Remove the flat battery from the device. Then press and hold the B-button for
3 seconds.
3) Insert a new CR123A battery observing the polarities shown inside. Visual
indicator will signal Z-Wave network inclusion status (green - device included,
red - device not included).
4) Test Fibaro Smoke Sensor's operation by performing a self-test (see p. VI).
5) Screw the Fibaro Smoke Sensor into the cover.
CAUTION
!
Fibaro Smoke Sensor is equipped with dedicated safety
mechanism (Fig. 2, Fig. 3) which prevents closing the enclosure
without the battery installed.
!
CAUTION
It's strongly recommended to perform the self-test after each
battery replacement to ensure correct device operation.
IV. FIRE DETECTION
Fibaro Smoke Sensor responds to the physical presence of smoke. Smoke
presence is required for the device to react. Fibaro Smoke Sensor every 10
seconds checks for smoke presence. Once the level of smoke exceeds value set
in parameter 1, Fibaro Smoke Sensor triggers an alarm.
Fire alarm is signaled by sending an appropriate alarm command to devices, the
Z-Wave controller and also by an intermittent sound and visual indicator blinking
red. Once the fire alarm has ceased, the sensor checks whether the smoke has
actually disappeared before getting back to normal operation, i.e. performing a self
test each 10 seconds and checking for presence of smoke.
NOTE
As described in section IV, the Fibaro Smoke Sensor checks for
i
smoke presence every 10 seconds. In addition, the device checks
for malfunction and tests the Z-Wave network communication (see
section VII) at each wake up interval (6 hours by default) and when
sending reports, provided that range test has been enabled in
advanced configuration.
CAUTION
!
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 occurrence.
CAUTION
If fire alarm is triggered, but the level of smoke did not exceed
concentration equal to three times of the sensitivity set in
parameter 1 (the individual levels of sensitivity are printed on the
!
device enclosure), user can mute sound alarm by holding the
B-button (temporarily reducing the sensor's sensitivity). Visual
indicator will still indicate an alarm state by blinking red. If smoke
level exceeds concentration equal to three times of the sensitivity
set in parameter 1, mute will automatically turn off and the device
will start alarming fire again (using visual and audible indicator).
V. PROGRAMMABLE EXCESS TEMPERATURE WARNING
Apart from detecting presence of smoke, Fibaro Smoke Sensor has an additional
function of informing of exceeding the programmed temperature threshold. The
function is disabled by default in parameter 2 settings. Excess temperature
warning is defined by user in parameter 30 - set to 55ºC by default. Excess
temperature level can be also signaled by visual indicator glow (parameter 3) and
short beep (parameter 4). Parameter 20 should not be set to 0 because such
setting disables temperature measurements.
VI. MALFUNCTION DETECTION
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor can automatically detect a malfunction. As described in
section IV, the Fibaro Smoke Sensor performs an efficiency test every 10 seconds.
If malfunction is detected (e.g. damaged smoke chamber) an intermittent sound
signal will start and alarm will be sent to the Z-Wave network controller and
associated devices.
Once trouble alarm has been detected, it's recommended to dismount the sensor
and:
• check the power source (replace battery),
• check whether the Smoke Sensor is exposed to direct light.
If a trouble alarm is continually reported, it's recommended to replace Fibaro
Smoke Sensor with new one or contact with guarantor if the product warranty is
still valid.
Self-test may be triggered manually:
1) Make sure the device is powered by the battery
2) Press and hold the B-button until the visual indicator glows white and short
alarm sounds. After 3 seconds from the first beep smoke chamber operation will be
checked.
Triggering fire alarm and beep mean positive result and should occur within 10
seconds. Trouble signal or no fire alarm mean that the sensor is malfunctioning.
CAUTION
When the self-test is triggered manually the Fibaro Smoke Sensor
!
sends control command to the Z-Wave network controller and to
1st Association group devices. The procedure will be performed at
least as long as the B-button is not released (will be completed in
up to 10 seconds after releasing B-button).
!
CAUTION
Any service or repair must be carried out by the manufacturer.
The expiry date of the device is indicated on its back.

VII. DETECTING LACK OF Z-WAVE RANGE
When included in the Z-Wave network, Fibaro Smoke Sensor tests the network
communication. By default the procedure is performed at each temperature report
depending on parameters 20 and 21 settings. In addition, Z-Wave network communica-
tion test is performed by polling the device. Lack of the Z-Wave network communication
may be signaled by an intermittent alarm sound and visual indicator blinking violet. By
default sound and visual signals are disabled but you can enable it by changing values of
parameters 3 and 4 (section XVII).
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.
VIII. SENSOR'S SENSITIVITY LEVEL CONFIGURATION
Optical smoke detector used in the Fibaro Smoke Sensor has 3 levels of sensitivity,
compliant with EN 14604:2005. By default, the detector is set to the middle sensitivity
level. Sensitivity level depends on the parameter 1 settings (modified only through the
main Z-Wave controller).
IX. RESETTING THE FIBARO SMOKE SENSOR
The Fibaro Smoke Sensor reset erases the device 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 battery installed.
2) Press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds. Visual indicator will glow white.
3) Short signal will sound.
4) Release the B-button.
5) Wait until the visual indicator 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 visual indicator changing colour to red and
fading. At the same time, short beep will sound, same as at the power connection.
CAUTION
Reset procedure should remove Fibaro Smoke Sensor from the Z-Wave
!
network main controller's memory (depending on the controller's
version). Removing the device from the Z-Wave network will reset
Fibaro Smoke Sensor automatically.
X. 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 menu it will be presented as two
devices, depending on the main controller software version:

indicating the fire alarm
Fibaro Smoke Sensor ignores incoming BASIC SET command and returns the status of
alarm on BASIC GET command (0 - no alarm, 255 - alarm active).
XI. ASSOCIATIONS
Through an association Fibaro Smoke Sensor may control another Z-Wave network
device, e.g. a Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller, Wall Plug, or a
scene (scene only through the main controller).
CAUTION
Association allows for direct communication between Z-Wave network
!
devices. Main controller does not take part in such communication.
Using this mechanism, Fibaro Smoke Sensor may communicate with
other devices even when the main controller is damaged, e.g. in a fire.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor allows for the associations of five groups.
1st group – Lifeline. Reporting device state. Only one device - Z-Wave network
controller may be set in this group. It's not recommended to modify this association
group.
2nd group – Fire Alarm. Sending the BASIC SET control command once smoke is
detected. Its value may be modified in advanced parameters (see section XVII). Group
may control up to five on/off devices.
3rd group – Tamper. Sending the notification NOTIFICATION REPORT (TYPE =
BURGLAR, EVENT = PRODUCT COVERING REMOVED) to associated devices once
enclosure opening is detected. Up to five devices supporting enclosure opening
command (NOTIFICATION REPORT) may be included in this group.
4th group – Fire Alarm. Sending the notification ALARM SENSOR REPORT (TYPE =
SMOKE ALARM) to associated devices once smoke is detected. Up to five devices
supporting fire alarm command may be included in this group
5th group – Tamper. Sending ALARM SENSOR REPORT notification (TYPE =
GENERAL) to associated devices once enclosure opening is detected. Up to five devices
supporting SENSOR ALARM REPORT command may be included in this group.
Fibaro Smoke Sensor allows for controlling 5 regular or 5 multichannel devices per an
association group in groups 2-5 and one device in the 1st group.
