Description of error messages of the Dimmer 2
Events result from installation aws, faulty light source operation or
incorrect manual changes in advanced conguration. The device may
stop responding to user’s commands and actions, leaving the light
source o. Message with information about the type of error is sent
by default (using Z-Wave network).
Error messages:
A) OVERTEMPERATURE ERROR
Dimmer 2 features self-temperature measurement function. In case
of reaching critical temperature, the load is turned o and the gate-
way receives an information about exceeding maximum temperature
of the module.
B) LOAD ERROR
Dimmer 2 is equipped with functionality of detecting the burnt out
bulb. In case of such situation, Dimmer 2 sends the notication about
load failure. Described function is not available for values of parame-
ter 58 dierent than 0.
Power variation is detected in accordance with the settings of param-
eters 15 and 16.
Example:
Parameter 15 set to 30%.
Parameter 16 set to 5 seconds.
Dimmer 2 will detect the change of load at the moment of power
variation by 30% compared to standard power consumption (mea-
sured during the calibration) and after 5 seconds from brightness lev-
el stabilization.
This function is available only in a control mode compliant with the
mode recognized during the calibration (parameter 14 set to 1).
Appearing of an error may be the result of not connecting the load. It
may suggest burning out all of the loads connected to the Dimmer 2.
Damaged load should be immediately replaced. After connecting the
new load, FIBARO Dimmer 2 will return to normal operation.
C) SURGE ERROR
Appearing of an error may be the result of electrical surges, incorrect
load control (inductive load controlled in trailing edge mode) or con-
necting the prohibited type of load.
NOTE
Pressing any of the
connected switches or
changing state of the
device using the con-
troller will exit error
mode.
i
NOTE
If parameter 35 is set
to 3 or 4, the load will
be calibrated again af-
ter turning on the load
or an occurrence of
LOAD ERROR, SURGE
or OVERCURRENT er-
ror.
