Smoke alarm devices can be networked with compatible wireless modules.
The following combinations are possible:
Networking using signal cables is only possible with smoke alarm devices of the same version.
Increased protection against false alarms.
Stay safe: the Gira Basic Q and Dual Q smoke alarm devices are designed to reliably detect the signs of a fire and to warn you ahead of time.
Each wireless module must be taught into a wireless receiver if the receiver is to react to the module. For this, you will require a compatible smoke alarm device that allows wireless module installation.
No, the light ring only flashes if there is an alarm or a fault.
In most cases, the unit is past its replacement date; if it is more than 10 years old, it needs to be replaced. The first step is to check the replacement date on the back of the smoke alarm.
However, there are several other factors that can reduce the battery life. A full summary can be found in the operating instructions. Other factors for a weak battery are:
The frequency with which the smoke alarm is triggered: frequent false alarms or test alarms lead to an earlier discharge.
The location of the installation, in particular compliance with the installation instructions according to the operating manual: Excessive temperature fluctuations, e.g. due to environmental influences, lead to reduced battery life.
Networking of smoke alarms via the networking terminal: if several smoke alarms are connected to each other, the battery life can be reduced.
The additional use of modules: The use of additional functions (e.g. KNX signal transmitter) can also lead to a reduction in battery life.

If none of these factors apply to you, contact your local electrician to have the device checked.
If you do not have an electrical specialist available to carry out the inspection, please contact us. You can find the contact form here: https://partner.gira.com/en/kontakt/international.html
If another alarm is triggered on the muted smoke alarm device, that device will remain muted. If an alarm is triggered by another networked smoke alarm device, the muted smoke alarm device will also signal this alarm.
The assignments for smoke alarm devices with wireless module remain the same after changing the battery.
