Z-Wave Fibaro Dimmer 2

Description

The Next Step To True Intelligence Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer insert module retrofits into an existing light switch enabling you to wirelessly control lights. The new Dimmer 2 is a true universal dimmer – automatically selects the most suitable dimming type (trailing-edge or leading-edge) based on the bulb type used. It measures the power being used and reports that to the Z-Wave system and it is fully Z-Wave Plus certified – offering increased range, extended battery life and Over The Air upgrading (OTA).

Intelligent Light Recognition

Using the unique, specially designed algorithm, Dimmer 2 recognizes the type of a connected light source and calibrates itself to set proper values. Now you can be sure that lights in your home are controlled in the optimal way.

Compatible With Both 2 and 3 Wire Systems

The Dimmer 2 is designed in such a way that it can be used in both 2 and 3 wire electrical systems. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources (in 3-wire connection) so you can use it in older electrical systems as well.

Also, the Dimmer 2 incorporates a number of security features protecting the device from overheating, overload and voltage drop. Should any of these happen, you will be notified immediately.

Scene Management

Dimmer 2 offers an extremely intuitive scene management. The device will turn one of the light switch buttons into a scene trigger. Activating a selected scene becomes as simple as turning the light on. Just press the button while entering the room!

User-Friendly Configuration Menu

The built-in RGB diode is a perfect source of information during the installation process. It will show you when the Dimmer 2 has been included to or excluded from the network. You will see whether the calibration or software update have successfully completed. You can also check the Z-Wave network range.

Fibaro Dimmer 2 (FGD212) Main Features:

• Works with incandescent bulbs, 230V halogen, 12V halogen and dimmable LEDs
• Detects the bulb type and adapts the dimming behaviour:
  • Trailing-edge dimming – incandescent and halogen bulbs (resistive)
  • Trailing-edge dimming – LEDs and other resistive-capacitive bulbs
  • Leading-edge dimming – transformers and other resistive-inductive loads
• On/Off mode – supports non-dimmable loads (3-wire installation)
• Monitors and reports power – instantaneous (W) and accumulated power (KWh)
• Auto-off Timer – turns lights off after programmed time period
• Maximum load 250W (resistive), 225VA (resistive-inductive) and 200VA (resistive-capacitive)
• Supports 2-wire (no neutral) and 3-wire installations
• Second switch input for controlling additional associated devices or 2-way installations
• Various switch types – momentary (default), toggle, 1-way and 2-way
