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.
Imprint bolts are used in conjunction with magnetic contacts to monitor window locks.
Magnetic contacts only monitor the opening, and not the closing, of windows and French windows. A partially open window is identified as closed by the magnetic contact.
Imprint bolts installed in the window frame hold the partially open window far enough open to allow the magnetic contact to recognise this and report an open window.
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.
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”.
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.
