The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Switch``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | OFF | OK | | ON | Alarm | ### Alarm (Hardware Fail) Appearing of an error may be a result of serious hardware failure of the Dimmer 2. In this case the Dimmer 2 sets the maximum brightness level and the LED visual indicator starts blinking in red. All external actions (Z-Wave commands, pressing the switches, menu settings) will be ignored. We recommend disconnecting the device from the power supply and contacting the customer service or to initiate the guarantee procedure. This error may also appear as a result of enabling the Dimmer 2 without load connected to the output in 3-wire connection. It is not a dangerous situation. We recommend disabling the fuse, connecting the load and enabling the fuse again. Indicates if a system alarm is triggered. The ```alarm_system``` channel supports the ```Switch``` item. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Switch``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | OFF | OK | | ON | Alarm | ### Alarm (Power) **LOAD ERROR** Dimmer 2 is equipped with functionality of detecting the burnt out bulb. In case of such situation, Dimmer 2 sends the notification about load failure. Described function is not available for values of parameter 58 different than 0. Power variation is detected in accordance with the settings of parameters 15 and 16. **SURGE ERROR** Appearing of an error may be the result of electrical surges, incorrect load control (inductive load controlled in trailing edge mode) or connecting the prohibited type of load. **OVERCURRENT ERROR** Appearing of an error may also be the result of rapid powering on the load. It may also occur if the soft-start functionality is disabled (parameter 34 set to 0) or as a result of the short circuit. If parameter 37 is set to 1, the device will automatically try to turn on again. If described error has been caused by the rapid powering on the load, then FIBARO Dimmer 2 will return to normal operation after reenabling. After three unsuccessful automatic tries of turning on the load, Dimmer 2 will stay in OVERCURRENT error mode (module turned off ). In such situation, it is required to remove the failure (possible short circuit in the installation.) Otherwise, it is recommended to set the long soft-start (parameter 34 set to 2). **OVERLOAD ERROR** Appearing of an error is a result of connecting receivers with too much power consumption.
