Application

The Gira KNX smoke alarm device module connects a smoke alarm device Dual/VdS to Instabus KNX lines.

It allows several smoke detectors Dual/VdS which are equipped with the Gira KNX smoke alarm
device module to be networked.
The module enables local alarms to be sent to the KNX bus and alarms to be received via the KNX bus.

Alarms which the smoke alarm device receives via the 2-wire bus can be forwarded to the KNX bus via the module and received again and processed by alarm devices networked via KNX.

Differentiating between local and remote alarms is possible but not necessarily required, a joint message is performed depending on the parameterisation. Configuring the alarm transmission interval is possible.

The Gira KNX smoke alarm device module also enables monitoring the connected smoke alarm device. For this purpose, various pieces of state information from the smoke alarm device are made available via the KNX bus, for example the state of the battery. In addition, a general fault object is provided which can send to the KNX bus in configurable intervals and/or in case of a fault.

The Gira KNX smoke alarm device module can also query the values recorded by the smoke alarm device as a temperature sensor and make them available on the KNX bus. For this, the ambient temperature is sent cyclically per day.

Using the module, the connected smoke alarm device can be used as a signal transmitter. A signal tone can be triggered by a received KNX telegram. It can then be deactivated again after a defined period of time or by another KNX telegram.

Function

Alarm function
Combine local and wired alarm = yes
Send message cyclically

Description:

1-bit object for signalling an alarm. Only visible when the “Combine local and wired alarm” parameter is set to “yes”. This is triggered by a local heat alarm, a local smoke alarm and an alarm received via the networking terminal. A “1” is sent when the alarm has been triggered. Sent cyclically when “Alarm repetition” is activated.

Function: Alarm function
Parameter: Combine local and wired alarm = no

Description:

1-bit object for signalling a local alarm. Only visible when the “Combine local and wired alarm” parameter is set to “no”. This is triggered by a local heat alarm, a local smoke alarm, and a local test alarm. A “1” is sent when the alarm has been triggered. Sent cyclically when “Alarm repetition” is activated.

Function: Alarm function

Description:
1-bit object for signalling a test alarm which was signalled via the test alarm communication object. A “1” is sent when the test alarm has been triggered.

Function: Signal transmitter function input / output
Parameter: Switch-on duration signal tone

Description:
1-bit object to activate the signal transmitter. When a “1” is assigned to the object, the signal transmitter is activated. An assigned “0” deactivates the signal transmitter. It is automatically deactivated after the duration set in the “Switch-on duration signal tone” parameter and sends a “0” in this case. If the switch-on time is parameterised to “unlimited”, the signal can only be deactivated by a telegram.

The alarm signal (test alarm) of the smoke alarm device is used as the signalling tone

If the condition “per day” is set, the temperature is send once a day. The function is deactivated when “Send temperature cyclically” is parameterised to “no”.

Function: Error monitoring
Parameter: Send message cyclically
Send fault

Description:
1-bit object for signalling a fault. If a “true” is sent, there is a fault on the smoke alarm device. This object is activated in case of the following faults:

• Defective smoke chamber
• Defective temperature sensor
• Weak battery
• 230 V error (if parameterised accordingly)
• Dirty smoke chamber
• Smoke chamber difference signal too low
• Smoke chamber electricity too high
• Smoke chamber has too many compensation pulses
• Smoke chamber loading time too high
• Temperature sensor 1 too warm
• Temperature sensor 1 too cold
• Temperature sensor 2 too warm
• Temperature sensor 2 too cold

The value can be sent cyclically. The “Send message cyclically” and “Send fault” parameters are used to set this. Sending the message is deactivated when the fault is eliminated and “Fault acknowledgement” has been received. A “0” is sent in this case.

Functional description

Alarms

The module enables alarms to be sent and received using a KNX-TP connection. In this context, it is possible to differentiate between local and remote alarms or report them via a joint communication object. Settings are made using the “Merge local and wired alarm” parameter. Alarms can be sent in cyclical, configurable intervals. The corresponding settings can be made using the “Send report cyclically” and “Send alarm” parameters.

State monitoring

The state of the smoke alarm device can be monitored via the module. A general fault communication object is available for this purpose, as well as various communication objects for individual faults such as “Weak battery”. The general “Fault” communication object for faults can be set to cyclical transmission. The “Send message cyclically” and “Send fault” parameters are used for this purpose

Temperature measurement

The module can query the temperatures measured by the smoke alarm device and make them available on the KNX bus. Vie the “Send temperature cyclically” parameter the condition “per day” can be set (temperature is send once a day). The specific send time depends to the initialization of the KNX module.

Signal tone

The module enables a smoke alarm device to be used as a signal transmitter. A signal tone on the smoke alarm device can be activated and deactivated using a communication object. In addition, it is possible to have the signal tone deactivated automatically after the time period defined via the “Switch-on duration signal tone” parameter.

Important: Due to the external triggering (e. g. test alarm) of the signal tone the battery lifetime of the smoke alarm device is drained faster.

State of delivery

Parameters

Gira KNX smoke alarm device
Merge local and wired alarm| Yes| This parameter determines whether there is a joint communication object for the signalling of alarms triggered locally and via wire, or whether there are two individual objects. Yes Local and wired alarms are combined via the “Alarm” communication object. The “Local alarm” and “Wired alarm” communication objects become invisible
No| The “Local alarm” and “Wired alarm” communication objects become visible. The “Alarm” communication object becomes invisible.
Send message cyclically| No| This parameter defines the transmission cycle for faults and alarms. For both types of messages, a separate parameter can be used to set whether cyclical transmission or event-controlled transmission should be used. No Messages are sent only in case of change. In this case, the “Send alarm” and “Sent fault” parameters cannot be changed.
Per minute| The messages are sent at a preset interval as long as the “cyclical” setting has been selected in the “Send alarm” or “Send fault” parameter. In addition, the messages are sent immediately in case of change
Per hour| The messages are sent at a preset interval as long as the “cyclical” setting has been selected in the “Send alarm” or “Send fault” parameter. In addition, the messages are sent immediately in case of change.
Per day| The messages are sent at a preset interval as long as the “cyclical” setting has been selected in the “Send alarm” or “Send fault” parameter. In addition, the messages are sent immediately in case of change.
Send alarm| Only in case of change| This parameter determines whether alarm messages should only be sent in case of change or cyclically. Only in case of change Alarm messages are sent only in case of change.
Cyclical| Alarm messages are sent at the interval set with the “Send message cyclically” parameter and in case of change. Only available when the “Send message cyclically” parameter is not set to “no”
Send fault| Only in case of change| This parameter determines whether fault messages should only be sent in case of change or cyclically. Only in case of change Fault messages are sent
Cyclical| Fault messages are sent at the interval set with the “Send message cyclically” parameter and in case of change. Only available when the “Send message cyclically” parameter is not set to “no”.
Report 230 V fault| No| The message of a 230 V fault can be activated or deactivated using this parameter. Activation is only advisable when a 230 V base is used. No A 230 V fault is not sent and the 230 V fault is not evaluated by the “Fault” communication object
Yes| A 230 V fault is sent and evaluated by the “Fault” communication object.
Send temperature cyclically| No| This parameter determines whether the temperature is sent to the KNX bus and when transmission should occur. No The temperature is not sent to the KNX bus
Per day| The temperature is sent at the set interval. The specific send time depends to the initialization of the KNX module.
Compare internal temperature sensors| +0.0 °C| If the temperature measured by the module consistently deviates from the actual value, it is possible to compensate this deviation using this parameter.
-10.0 °C to +10 °C (In steps of 0.5)| The measured temperature is corrected by the configured value.
Switch-on duration signal tone| Unlimited| This parameter defines the maximum switch-on duration of the signal tone. Unlimited The signal tone can only be deactivated by a telegram.
1 s to 24 s| The maximum switch-on duration of the signal tone corresponds to the configured value.
