Dimmer - FGD-212-ZW5

Z-Wave Plus flush-mounted Universal Dimmer from Fibaro - FGD-212-ZW5 with Power Metering feature.

Remotely controlled light dimming module is designed to work with various types of light sources. It may be connected to 2-wire or 3-wire installation so it can operate with or without neutral lead. Fibaro FGD-212 can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. This device is equipped with an algorithm of smart light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as "Electronic Switch" in 3-wire connection (optional Fibaro AC Bypass FGB-002 is required).

IMPORTANT! Must only be installed by an authorized electrical installer. Private individuals who want to carry out work on the electrical system themselves must first study information from dsb (Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning) - Electrical work: You can do this yourself

Attention! This dimmer module suitable also for dimming of halogen lighting and LED based lamps. The dimmer does not work for every installation, because not every transformer or LED can be dimmed. Dimmable electronic transformers and LEDs as standard is marked as "DIMMABLE". Note: 230V (HV) halogen lamps and some of the LED based light sources have very high starting current.
Non compatible light device may work but is likely can produce light flickering and (or) an audible humming or buzzing noise when dimmed. This noise and (or) flickering is usually a symptoms of internal stress, which in turn can cause failure of the connected device or dimmer. Always confer with professional installer.
