Selecting the installation site

Installation note
Note the following:

Mount horizontally.
Leave an area of at least 50 cm between the wireless repeater and ceilings, metal objects, and other equipment.
A maximum of one wireless repeater may be used in one Alarm Connect security system.
The forwarding of signals between the Connect alarm center and the wireless control unit is not possible.

Mounting the wireless repeater

VdS-compliant mounting

Only mounting with wall plugs and screws is VdS-compliant.

Wall installation

Make sure the wall surface is level. In the case of an uneven wall surface, there is the risk that the lower housing section will move during installation. This means that the upper housing section cannot be plugged in properly.

Socket outlet for power supply

Be sure that the wireless repeater is mounted near a socket outlet that is easily accessible. The socket outlet should have its own fuse circuit.

Switch off the power supply.
Detach the upper housing section from the lower housing section using the unlocking tool (included with the alarm control unit Connect).
Mark the drilling holes, drill and insert the wall plugs (Fischer dowels UX 5 x 30, included). The disconnecting surface of the tamper contact must be secured with a screw.
Mount the wireless repeater.
Wire the wireless repeater to the mains voltage.

Connection – Mains voltage

Use power lines with a cable cross-section of 1.5 to 2.5 mm2. The power line should comply with national electrical requirements.

Commissioning the wireless repeater

Conditions for device commissioning

The project must first be successfully commissioned in GPA (see “Commissioning order”).

Gira Project Assistant (GPA)

The security system alarm Connect is configured via GPA. The following settings are made in GPA for the wireless repeater:

Enter the device name.
Assign device ID.
Display security area.
Put the project into commission.

Configure the project in the GPA and put it into commission.
Insert the battery (observe polarity!) and wait for initialization phase. The wireless repeater is automatically detected by the wireless alarm control unit Connect.

Batteries inserted too early

If the units have been activated before start-up, they are in “sleep mode” and can no longer connect to the alarm center. In this case, the batteries must be removed and reinserted.

Attach the upper housing section to the lower section.
Switch on the power supply.

Status LED

Stand-by mode

After the commissioning of the device, communication must take place between the device and the alarm control unit Connect within 7 min. After 7 min the device[ automatically switches to standby mode. If the device does not receive a signal from the alarm control unit Connect within the 7 min period, the standby mode can not be ended automatically. The device must then be reactivated (remove and replace the battery) so that communication can be established with the alarm control unit Connect. Always observe the commissioning order.

Check the signal quality of the wireless connection

Check the wireless connection to the alarm control unit. Check the signal quality of the wireless connection between the alarm control unit Connect and the device.

Activate the test mode in the GPA under [security system] – > [Diagnosis and test].
Check the signal quality. How the] repeater behaves in test mode still needs to be clarified.

Bad signal quality: Reposition the wireless repeater and recheck the signal quality.
Good signal quality: End test mode.

Behavior in case of main failure

In the event of a mains voltage failure, the internal backup battery will supply the wireless repeater with power. When the mains voltage returns, the backup battery does not charge back up on its own.

Replacing the battery

WARNING

Explosion hazard in case of improper handling of batteries.
Do not throw batteries into the fire, and do not recharge batteries, as this may result in a risk of explosion.
The danger of acid burns from bursting or leaking batteries.
Always change an empty battery for a new one of the same type.

Replacing the battery

Replace the battery as soon as the “low battery” display appears in the Display of the wireless operating unit.

Detach the upper housing section from the lower housing section using the unlocking tool (included with the alarm control unit Connect). The tamper alarm is triggered.
Open the battery compartment and] replace the battery with a new battery of the same type (Observe polarity!).
Close the battery compartment and place the upper housing section on the lower section again.
Acknowledge the tamper alarm on the wireless operating unit.

Remove empty batteries immediately and dispose of them in an environmentally- friendly way. Donot dispose of batteries with household waste. Local authorities provide information about environmentally-sound disposal. The end consumer is legally required to return used batteries in accordance with legislative requirements.
