Commissioning the wireless outdoor siren

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 outdoor siren:

Locate device.
Assign device name.
Assign hardware ID.
Select duration of optical signal.
Select duration of acoustic signal.
Starting up the device.

1. Parameterise the wireless outdoor siren in GPA and put the project into commission.

2. Insert the battery pack.

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 centre. In this case, the batteries must be removed and reinserted.

3. Connect the battery pack as shown below and wait for the initialisation phase. The wireless outdoor siren is automatically detected by the alarm control unit Connect.

4. Place the upper housing section on the lower section and screw it into place.

Stand-by mode

After 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 stand-by mode. If the device does not receive a signal from the alarm control unit Connect within the 7 min period, the stand-by mode can not be ended automatically.
The device must then be reactivated (remove and replace the battery pack) 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].
The wireless outdoor siren automatically sends a signal.
Check the signal quality.

Bad signal quality: Insert a wireless repeater and check the signal quality again.
Good signal quality: End test mode.
