Start-up

The fingerprint module can be put into operation and configured using the Gira Keyless In app or manually on the device. You must choose an operating mode when starting up the module. It is more complex to change this after the start-up phase. We recommend using the app to start up the module.
The Gira Keyless In app is free to download from various app stores.

app

  1. Download the Gira Keyless In app to the administrator’s mobile device:
  2. Start the app and follow the instructions on the screen.

Activation code
The activation code required for start-up can be found on the enclosed safety card.

Start-up procedure

For start-up the fingerprint reader, the following steps must be implemented in the order shown below:

**III. Create first administrator

**

IV. Create user finger

V. Carry out configurations on the fingerprint reader

VI. Use in door communication system
or
Use without door communication system

Optimal positioning of finger

To ensure the fingerprint module functions properly, fingers must be placed correctly during both the teaching-in process and subsequent operation. It is important that the finger area with the most prominent fingerprint swirls (centre of fingertip) is detected by the fingerprint sensor.
For this reason, place fingers as shown.

Optimal:
The area of greatest fingerprint movement centrally on sensor.

centrally on sensor

Fingers that cannot be taught in
It is not possible to teach in fingers that are wet or damp. The module may also be incompatible with certain other finger types, although this is a rare occurrence.

Basics for the teaching-in of a finger

For the teaching-in of a finger, the finger to be taught-in is repeatedly laid on. It is important to vary the position of the finger with repeated laying on by a few millimetres each time, so that the fingerprint reader can register the largest possible finger area.

  1. Place the finger to be taught-in centrally until an acknowledgement tone is heard.
  2. Shift the finger slightly upwards.
  3. Shift the finger slightly downwards.
  4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 until 1 long acknowledgement tone is heard and the LED lights up green

Users with very dry, greasy or moist skin may need to place the finger they wish to teach in up to 15 times. A negative signal (3 short tones) will be heard immediately if a finger has already been recognised or a fingerprint has insufficient features (or features that have already been recognised).
If a negative signal (3 short tones) is heard after the 15th attempt, the finger has not been successfully taught in.
If this happens, place the finger again (step 1) or use another finger. Follow the instructions above for this.

Teaching-in first administrator

Deleting administrator

An administrator is deleted by deleting one of the two fingers (programming or admin finger). When one of the fingers is deleted, the other finger of the administrator also loses its function.

The final administrator cannot be deleted.
If there is only one taught-in administrator remaining in the Fingerprint reader, it cannot be deleted.

    ✔ The fingerprint reader generates a positive acknowledgement signal. The DCS bus power supply is switched on.

For switching off, repeat steps 1. to 3..

Connection to door communication system

First, start-up the door communication system
Before programming of the fingerprint reader is begun, the door communication system must be started up.

Direct assignment/group assignment
Assignment differentiates between:
direct assignment of individual user fingers to an individual switching actuator
group assignment of all user fingers to a switching actuator.
With group assignments, all user fingers assigned to the fingerprint reader trigger a switching action with the switching actuator.
During programming, an admin finger is laid on instead of a user finger.

Advantage of group assignment
With group assignments, all taught-in user fingers in a programming step are assigned a common switching actuator. User fingers that are also assigned at a later date to the fin- gerprint reader can switch this common switching actuator without further programming.

Assignment

User-specific switching actuator/door opener

User fingers must be taught-in in the fingerprint reader beforehand.

  1. Press the “Systemprogr.” button on the control device for 3s to start programming mode.
    ✔ The LED at the control device flashes. The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange. The operating mode LED of the switching actuator flashes.

  2. Press the button “Progr.” at the switching actuator (or the button “Türöffnerprogr.” of the control device), until the LED next to the button flashes.
    ✔ The fingerprint reader again generates an acknowledgement tone.

  3. Lay on the user finger to be assigned.
    ✔ The fingerprint reader generates a positive acknowledgement signal:
    The switching actuator was assigned successfully.

  4. Press the “Systemprogr.” button on the control device to exit the programming mode.
    Delete assignment of user -switching actuator
    To delete the user – switching actuator assignment, the teach-in procedure is repeated.
    The assignment cannot be deleted via the switching actuator (press programming button 6 s)

Assignment of user group switching actuator/door opener

Assigning all taught-in user fingers in the fingerprint reader to a group switching actuator:

  1. Press the “Systemprogr.” button on the control device for 3s to start programming mode.
    ✔ The LED at the control devices flashes.
    The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange. The operating mode LED of the switching actuator flashes.

  2. Press the button “Progr.” at the switching actuator (or the button “Türöffnerprogr.” of the control device), until the LED next to the button flashes.
    ✔ The fingerprint reader again generates an acknowledgement tone.

  3. Lay on admin finger.
    ✔ The fingerprint reader generates a positive acknowledgement signal.
    The switching actuator was assigned successfully.

  4. Press the “Systemprogr.” button on the control device to exit the programming mode.

Delete assignment of user switching actuator
To delete the user – switching actuator assignment, the teachin procedure is repeated.
The assignment cannot be deleted via the switching actuator (press programming button 6 s).

Table for start-up documentation

In the following tables the fingers of the administrators or users can be marked as references.
The example administrator selects the thumb of the left hand as the admin finger, and the index finger of the right hand as programming finger.

Procedure when the administrator is no longer available

If an administration finger is lost or the system administrators are no longer available, the fingerprint modules can no longer be administered. For this reason it is recommended to teach-in an admin/programming finger pair from two or even three people.

If an administrator is no longer available, the fingerprint reader along with the accompanying security card should be sent to the Gira Service Center. A resetting to factory settings is carried out there, meaning all administrators and users are deleted.

Warranty

The warranty is provided in accordance with statutory requirements via the specialist trade.

Please submit or send faulty devices including the corresponding safety card, postage paid together with an error description, to your responsible salesperson (specialist trade/ installation company/specialist electrical trade).
This will forward the devices to the Gira Service Center.
