OPERATING MANUAL

FIBARO ROLLER SHUTTER 2

FGR-222-US-A-v1.00

FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the 

Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through 

a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Devices are not only 

receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave 

network’s range. It gives advantage over traditional wireless 

systems that require direct link between transmitter and receiver, as 

a result the construction of the building could affect network’s range   

negatively.

Every FIBARO network has its unique identification number (home 

ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without 

interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable 

to wired systems.

Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home 

automation. There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are 

mutually compatible, independently of manufacturer. It gives the 

system the ability to evolve and expand over time. For more 

information visit: www.fibaro.com.

E. Calibration through a Fibar Command Class control frame.

It’s possible to force the calibration process execution through 

sending a Fibar Command Class control frame through a Z-Wave 

network main controller.

Apart from calibrating the roller blind position, it’s possible to 

calibrate the position of venetian blinds slats. After correct 

calibration, in case of venetian blinds, it’s possible to set the position 

between the limit switches, as well as the slats angle. By default, 

time of full turn of the slats is set to 1,5 seconds. If necessary, it can 

be modified following below instructions.
1) Make sure the module is connected to the power supply, 

    according to Fig.1

2) Include the module into the Z-Wave network, according to section 

     VI of instructions.

3) Calibrate the Roller Shutter, according to the instructions 

    provided in sections IX.A, IX.B, IX.C, IX.D or IX.E.

4) Set the parameter 10 value to 2 or choose in HC2 interface: 

    Device Type - Venetian Blind

5) Another device icon, responsible for slats operation, will show 

    up in Home Center 2 interface. In case of any other Z-Wave 

    network controllers managing the slats position is achieved 

    through pressing and holding a switch key (up or down).

6) By default, time of transition between extreme positions is set to 

    1 500 ms (1,5 seconds).

7) Turn slats between extreme positions. If after full cycle a blind 

    starts moving up or down, then parameter’s 12 value must be

    modified, e.g. to 1 000ms (1 second). Correctly configured   

    slats should not force the blind to move up or down.

Roller Shutter needs to be calibrated to work with 

any given motor.

Venetian blind slats may be only operated by 

momentary switches. 

After including into the Z-Wave network, Fibaro Roller Shutter will 

be presented in a Home Center 2 interface as a roller blind icon (see 

fig. below). After choosing Venetian Blind device type, a second icon 

will show up, responsible for managing slats position.

Opening / Closing a blind is acheved through moving a slider or 

pushing a button shown in Fig. 3.
In Venetian Blind mode, setting slats angle is achieved through 

moving a slider or pushing a button shown in Fig. 3.

To abort the calibration process press any key

Fibaro Roller Shutter may be included into the Z-Wave network via 

the B-button or a push button connected to the S1 terminal. In 

addition, the module may be included in auto inclusion mode, by 

simply connecting the power supply.
Automatic Z-Wave network inclusion:

1) Make sure the power supply is disconnected and a Roller Shutter 

    is located within a direct Z-Wave network’s main controller 

    communication range.
2) Set the main controller into the learn mode (see main controllers 

    operating manual).
3) Connect the power supply to include the Roller Shutter in auto 

    inclusion mode.
4) Fibaro Roller Shutter will be automatically detected and included 

    into the Z-Wave network.
To disable the auto inclusion mode, press the B-button briefly, after 

connecting the module to the power supply.
Manual Z-Wave network inclusion:

1) Connect the power supply.
2) Set the main controller into the learn mode (see main controllers 

    operating manual).
3) Triple click the B-button or a push button connected to the S1 

    terminal.
4) Fibaro Roller Shutter will be detected and included into the 

    Z-Wave network.

Calibration is a process during which a Roller Shutter learns the 

position of the limit switches and a motor characteristic. Calibration 

is mandatory in order for the Roller Shutter to correctly recognize a 

roller blind position. The procedure consists of an automatic, full 

movement between the limit switches (up, down, and up again). 

There are separate procedures of calibrating roller blind and slats 

(venetian blind) positioning. Each time the calibration requires the 

completion of a full cycle (up and down).

Fibaro Roller Shutter allows for connecting push buttons to S1 and 

S2 terminals. These may be momentary or toggle switches, 

alternatively. Push buttons are responsible for managing the blind’s 

movement.
Using momentary switches:
Clicking       button  connected to S1 terminal, initiates up 

movement.
Clicking       button  connected to S2 terminal, initiates down 

movement. 

If the blind is moving, each click, of any button, will stop the 

movement. In addition a button click sends a command frame to I-st 

association group devices.
In case of venetian blinds, it’s possible to manage the slats angle. 

Operating Mode - Venetian Blind, or Parameter 10 value set to 2.
Holding        connected to S1 terminal initiates slats rotation up.
Holding          connected to S2 terminal initiates slats rotation   down.

In addition a button hold sends a Fibar Command Class control 

frame to II-nd association group devices.

Through an association Fibaro Roller Shutter may control another 

Z-Wave network device, e.g. another Roller Shutter, Wall Plug, 

Dimmer, Relay Switch, RGBW Controller.

Using toggle switches:
Changing         switch key position, connected to S1 terminal, 

initiates up movement.
Changing         switch key position, connected to S2 terminal, 

initiates down movement.
Choosing a middle position stops the blind.

Association allows for direct communication 

between Z-Wave network devices. Main controller 

does not take part in such communication.

Fibaro Roller Shutter provides three association groups:
I association group is triggered through a momentary switch click, 

or a toggle switch position change.
II association group is triggered through a momentary switch hold

II association group is inactive when toggle switches 

are used or in Gate Controller mode (parameter 10). 

In case of controlling Venetian Blinds, control 

commands are sent in Fibar Command Class 

standard.

III association group reports the module status. Only one device 

may be assigned to this group, main controller by default. It’s not 

recommended to modify this group’s settings.

Fibaro Roller Shutter allows for commanding other Roller Shutters, 

associated into I or II association group, through clicking or holding a 

switch key. For example, this mechanism allows for operating a 

Roller Shutter connected to the switch with a button click, and 

operating the devices associated in II association group by a button 

hold. In addition, when operating Venetian Blinds, it’s possible to 

synchronize many devices.

Fibaro Roller Shutter is dedicated to operate with 

AC powered electric motors. Connecting the device 

directly to DC powered motors may result in them 

being damaged. 

The switch box must be compliant with the relevant

national safety standards and its depth should not

be less than 60mm.

Electrical system of the building must be protected 

with an overcurrent protection (fuse) with a value 

not higher than 10A.
