A block lock is used instead of a traditional deadbolt lock on house or apartment doors. This type of lock works via a traditional locking cylinder. The block lock allows you to activate or deactivate the alarm system when you open or close the door. Generally, the door is locked mechanically by turning the deadbolt once. Turning the deadbolt a second time activates the alarm control unit. In order to activate the control unit, information is required as to whether the system is ready for activation, i.e. whether all detectors are closed. If this is the case, a coil in the block lock is supplied with power to allow the deadbolt to be turned a second time. If the alarm system has not granted release for activation, for example because a window is still open, a mechanical block will prevent you from turning the key a second time. The information as to whether the system is ready for activation is transferred to the block lock from the associated alarm control unit. The activation contact in the block lock is also connected to the associated alarm control unit. Similarly, the security area can only be entered once the system has been deactivated via the block lock.
If an “inevitability factor” has been planned for the security area, this menu item can only be set with the installer PIN (default 1234). Prior to this, the administrator (default 0001) must activate the installer on the wireless operating unit under “User settings”.
Firstly, the smartphone must be connected to the same WLAN as the alarm control unit. This is the case if you are able to find the alarm control unit when you “search for devices”.
Furthermore, you must have entered the username and password correctly at login. There is no “incorrect password” error message, you will simply see the red exclamation mark in the top corner of the app, which signals that the connection was not successful. It is sometimes helpful to delete a connection from the list in the app and re-establish it using the “+” symbol. Otherwise, check your user information in the GPA, enter your password again and transfer the project to the alarm control unit.
External alarm devices are displays of an in-situ alarm status.
Essentially, alarms have two tasks:
In VdS systems, the local alert will only take place in conjunction with a telephone dialler.
You can order a replacement key for the alarm control unit via your Gira specialist partner. However, this requires the specialist partner to have documented and provided you with the 3-digit key number upon installation.
