Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What is a Universal Binary Sensor?

A
Universal Binary Sensor is a wireless module that makes it possible to boost the functionality of any binary output sensor by facilitating the communication with the Z-Wave wireless network and the FIBARO System. The module also allows for wireless communication between the system and the DS18B20 temperature sensors. The device can support up to two binary sensors and up to four DS18B20 temperature sensors. The Sensor was designed for installation in the housing of a sensor or another device, the functionality of which is under constant improvement by FIBARO.

 

 


Q

What signals should be provided to IN1 and IN2 inputs?

A

Only GND signal can be the only signal, as this should fit with the GND of the Universal Sensor module.


Q

Can I provide Voltage signal to IN1 or IN2?

A

No, it can only be a GND signal.


Q

How can I control OUT1 and OUT2?

A

Simply, you can’t. You can’t control the outputs of the Universal Binary Sensor because it is just input modules. Therefore, the OUT1 and OUT 2 state is always dependent of IN1 and IN2 state. If IN1 state will be “1” than the same signal will appear on OUT1, if IN2 signal will be “0” than the same signal will appear on OUT2.


Q

Why OUT1 and OUT2 cannot be controlled?

A

The Universal Binary Sensor is input module. This means it was designed to work with sensors and alarm systems therefore altering the state would be dangerous.


Q

Can I measure temperature from Universal Sensor Module? If so, how can I do it?

A

Yes, you need to connect DS18B20 sensors to the 1-wire line in accordance with the instruction manual.


Q

I’ve connected DS18B20 sensor to 1-wire line, but I cannot see any temperature sensors.

A

Once you have added temperature sensor module must be configured again. Then remove your device and re-add it.


Q

How long can be 1-wire line for handling DS18B20 sensors?

A

30m maximum.


Q

What voltage Universal Binary Sensor should be powered by?

A

DC Voltage between 9-30V DC


Q

Can I use other 1-wire devices than DS18B20 sensors?

A

No – The DS18B20 are the only compatible sensors.


Q

What is the maximum current carrying capacity of outputs?

A

150mA.


Q

How accurate is DS18B20 sensor?

A

Accurate to 0.5C


Q

Should I calibrate DS18B20 sensor?

A

No, it is digital so doesn’t require calibration.


Q

Does Universal Binary Sensor is also Z-Wave signal repeater?

A

Yes, Universal Binary Sensor has complete and full repeating capabilities.
