At the bottom edge of the screen, you can see a circle for each available func-
tion or page. The highlighted circle shows which is the current position. You
can change the function of page with a horizontal swipe. This also moves the

Status bar
The symbols in the status bar have the following meanings:
[1] The status display (KNX / TKS) shows which system has been project-
planned:
KNX if a KNX system is project-planned, TKS if the Gira G1 is exclusively oper-
ated in the Gira door communication system.
[2] The display [automatic door opener] is shown if the automatic door opener is
activated.
[3] The warning symbol in the status bar shows that the Gira G1 is no longer
functioning.
If you touch the warning symbol with your finger, the corresponding error
message is displayed.
[4] Display of the outside temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). The values for the
outside temperature are obtained from the KNX system, e.g. from a KNX
weather station.
[5] Display of the room temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). The values for the
room temperature are obtained from the KNX system, e.g. from a KNX tactile
sensor.
[6] Display of time and date.

Navigation bar
The buttons in the navigation bar have the following functions:
[1] [Back] opens the previously opened page.
[2] [Home] opens the start page of the action area.

Action area
The action area is the central working area by means of which you can operate
and set the Gira G1. Here, you can operate all applications such as the weather
forecast, the Gira door communication system, the function folder and the KNX
functions.
The action area has two views:
- Tile view
- Detailed view
A maximum of 25 functions or applications can be displayed in the action area.
The first page of the action area is the [Home] page.
2.4.1
Tile view
The tile view is one of the two views of the action area, alongside the detailed
view. All functions of a building can be displayed here as tiles. Central functions
such as switching on and off, setting temperature or dimming in set steps can
be operated in this view. In addition, it is possible to combine individual functions
into a function folder, e.g. for all functions in one room.
In the tile view, it is possible to display up to six small tiles on a maximum of five
pages.

User interface
2.4.2
Detailed view
The detailed view is one of the two views of the action area, alongside the tile
view. You open the detailed view by touching one of the tiles in the tile view. The
entire display then shows all operating elements that are available for the func-
tion in question.
Horizontal swipeA horizontal swiping movement with your finger makes it possible to change
from one function to the next. A maximum of 25 pages can be displayed in the
action area as part of the detailed view.
2.5
Direct function
“Hand placement”The “hand placement” gesture calls up the direct function. Placing your palm on
the display makes it possible to call up a previously defined main function
directly. This turns the Gira G1 into a simple switch, for example, that can be
used for switching the ceiling light on and off. The main function is shown over
the currently active display, and disappears automatically again after a certain
length of time.
The function that should be triggered with the direct function can be defined in
the System menu [see 4.1.1].

Setting up Gira G1
3.1
Initial start-up
1 Install the Gira G1 (see Gira G1 installation instructions).
?The start-up program starts automatically when the operating voltage is
switched on.
2 A start-up wizard is displayed when the Gira G1 is set up for the first time.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
3 Define the language setting for the Gira G1.
4 Read the license agreement and accept it by scrolling to the end of the page,
activating the checkbox and then clicking “Accept”.
5 Select the time zone appropriate for you.
6 Define which applications you want to operate on the Gira G1.
7 Select the type of network connection (LAN or WLAN) and confirm your
choice by clicking “Start”
?The device starts the initial start-up configuration, and then changes to the
system settings.
8 In the system settings, you can check and configure the network settings
[see 4.1.2.3].
9 Use the ETS to load the previously created KNX project on the Gira G1, see
“KNX programming mode” [see 4.1.2].
10 Enter the access data for the door communication system [see 7.2.1].
11 Select the locations for the weather station [see 9.1.1].
3.2
Updating Gira G1
Use the Gira project wizard from version 1.2 onwards (GPA) to update the
Gira G1 on your computer. You can download a free version of the Gira project
wizard from: www.download.gira.de ?. For more information about the update,
please refer to the online help for the Gira project wizard.
Note
Performing the update
Before you take the Gira G1 into operation for the first time, check if a firmware
update is available for the Gira G1 and perform an update using the Gira project
wizard if an update is available.
3.3
Time and date
The time and date are obtained from a time server on the Internet (ntp:
0.europe.pool.ntp.org). Alternatively, the date and time can be obtained from the
KNX system. There must be a system clock in the KNX system for this purpose
(e.g. the Gira KNX IP router).

Configuring network
Important
Failure of Gira G1
Changing the settings on the [Configure network] can result in failure of the net-
work connection, leading to malfunctions of the Gira G1.
Only an electrician with network knowledge is allowed to configure the network.
DHCPWhen you configure the network access for the Gira G1, you can choose
between automatic (DHCP) and manual configuration of the network. DHCP is
selected in the factory settings of the Gira G1. In this case, the network param-
eters are automatically specified by the router.
Proceed as follows to configure the network manually:
1 Deactivate DHCP by setting the “DHCP activated” slide switch to off.
?The input boxes for the network settings can now be edited.
2 Enter the corresponding data for the network access.
3 Confirm your entries with OK.
?The data is saved. The system menu is opened.
Important:
Static IP over ETS
If you specify a static IP address over the ETS, you will have to enter the DNS
server manually on the Gira G1. Entering the DNS server over TTS is not possible.

Reliable KNX communication
The “Reliable KNX communication” function can be activated here. “Reliable
KNX communication” is an expansion to the KNXnet/IP protocol to minimize
data losses in communication via potentially unreliable connections (e.g.
WLAN).
Please activate this function if the Gira G1 is connected to the network via
WLAN.
To use the “Reliable KNX communication” function, it is necessary to use suit-
able peripheral components in the system (e.g. the Gira KNX/IP router 2167 00
from firmware version 3.0 onwards) which also have reliable KNX communica-
tion activated.
