1. About the product
1.1. Product catalogue
Product name: Alarm control unit Connect
Order No.: 5201 00
Application: Alarm control unit
Design: Surface-mounted
1.2. Application
The alarm control unit Connect is a wireless alarm system and the core unit of the Gira Alarm Connect
security system. The alarm control unit Connect is designed for indoor use to protect apartments, pri-
vate homes and small or medium commercial properties.
Using a KNX IP router, the alarm control unit Connect can be integrated into a KNX installation. A KNX
installation allows use of existing KNX sensors.
• Connects up to 64 wireless components including wireless operating unit, alarm signal units (wire-
less indoor siren, wireless outdoor siren) or wireless I/O module
• 4 security areas
• Encrypted-data access for setting up via Internet and Gira S1/Gira smart home app
• Gira G1 as client for Alarm Connect security system to act as additional operating and display unit
• Connects landline phone for remote alarming (optional: GSM module)
• In the event of mains failure, internal rechargeable battery pack takes over power supply for at least
12 hours

7 Plug terminals: Output
8 Plug terminals: Input
9 Rechargeable battery pack
10 Terminal plugs: reserved for future applications
11 Pairing button and status LED
1.4. State of delivery
When delivered, the device is in passive mode, i.e. it does not send telegrams through the bus. You
can use ETS, version 5 or higher, and the Gira Project Assistant (GPA), version 4 or higher, to program
and start up the alarm control unit.
IP address is assigned via DHCP. Should the alarm control unit not receive an address using this
method, an auto IP (address range from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255) is issued after a certain
waiting time.
You can also issue a static IP address via the ETS or the Gira Project Assistant. You can set IP address,
IP subnet mask and IP standard gateway here.

1 Housing cover (closed = position 0)
2 Status LED (under housing cover)
The alarm control unit only operates with the housing
cover closed.
1 Mounting holes
2 Opening for mains power cable
3 Opening for Ethernet cable
4 Disconnecting surface for tamper contact
Position 0
Housing cover closed (factory settings). After connection
to the battery pack and 230 V as well as project commis-
sioning:
Housing cover closed = operating mode.
Position 1
Push the housing cover up until the screws of the hinged
cover are exposed and the housing cover is noticeably
blocked. Loosen the two screws in the hinged cover and
push the housing cover further up (this position can only
be achieved with the screws are loosened!). The housing
cover can be removed.
Position 2
Housing cover removed = configuration mode.
Only the upper mounting holes and the slot of the GSM
module are accessible when the hinged cover is closed.
When the hinged cover is open, all connections (battery
pack, LAN, telephone, etc.) and the mounting holes are

3.2. Installation
DANGER!
Lethal danger from electric shock.
De-energise the device. Cover live parts.
Installation notes
• Always mount in the main security area.
• Do not mount on external walls as these can be tampered with, e.g. opened up by drilling.
• Only mount in locations in which the temperature is constant (e.g. no direct sunlight).
• Choose the installation location so that it is within the detection range of a motion detector, or can-
not be reached without triggering an alarm.
• Mount horizontally (the housing cover can only be opened upwards).
• Recommended mounting height: at least 1.50 m above the floor.
• Keep the alarm control unit at least 50 cm clear of ceilings, metal objects and other devices (unsuit-
able: metal doors or cabinets or direct vicinity of fuse boxes and electricity meters).
• Mounting methods other than wall mounting are not allowed.
• Select the installation location so that the wireless signals between the alarm centre and the wire-
less operating unit can be easily sent or received during test operation.
1. Unpack the alarm control unit.
2. Remove the housing cover.
3. Align the alarm control unit, mark the drilling holes,
drill and insert the wall plugs.
4. Mount the alarm control unit. The disconnecting sur-
face of the tamper contact (see "Rear Side - Device
Description") must be secured with a screw.
5. Disconnect the mains voltage and wire the alarm cen-
tre accordingly to the application.
Wall mounting
Make sure the wall surface is level. In the case of an
uneven wall surface, there is the possibility that the
housing will move during installation. This can cause
the housing cover to be improperly inserted and
closed.

4. Configuring KNX functions
4.1. Configuring KNX devices
The alarm control unit Connect is a product of the KNX system and complies with the KNX guidelines.
Detailed specialist knowledge is required. The alarm control unit Connect is a security system for an
existing or newly installed KNX system.
Initial start-up is performed via ETS 5 or higher.
Notes
• You can find the KNX product database and the technical documentation on the internet at
www.download.gira.de.
KNX/IP uses Multicast to mirror KNX bus group communication on IP. To couple the alarm control unit
Connect with a twisted pair bus (TP bus), always use a KNX IP router.
Tip
Faster configuration via direct IP connection
• In ETS 5, select Options under the Bus tile and check whether Use direct IP connection if available
is activated. This will make transmission of the KNX configuration from the ETS to the alarm control
unit Connect faster.

4.2.2. Secure remote access with the Gira S1
The Gira S1 is installed in the customer's home network and prepares the home network for secure
access via the Internet. It connects to the Gira device portal automatically using the existing Internet
access. Communication between the Gira S1 and the Gira device portal is encrypted using AES and
secured with digital certificates (for details, see Gira S1 operating instructions).
Smartphone and app then use encrypted, direct access to the alarm control unit Connect through the
Gira device portal.
4.3. KNX functions
Depending on the installation, the following KNX functions can be performed using the alarm control
unit Connect:
• Query alarm control unit status

5.1. ETS configuration and start-up
Configuring and starting up the alarm control unit Connect requires ETS 5 or higher and the Gira Pro-
ject Assistant (version 4 or higher). The required product database is available in *.knxprod format.
The corresponding application program has version number 1.0.

5.2.1. External detectors
External detectors are detectors that trigger an alarm via, for example, a KNX communication object
or a data point.
If you activate this option, you will also need to activate the alarms that you want the external detec-
tors in this security area to trigger. The KNX communication objects can only trigger an event in the
ETS application if the corresponding alarms have been activated in the GPA.

If you wish to use this function in the KNX system, you also need to activate Use KNX communication
objects in the project configuration.
If you wish to trigger an alarm via, the GPA data points, select the desired alarms here.
Notes
• ETS always shows the alarm control unit’s communication objects. However, they can (for security
reasons) only be used if the Use KNX communication objects option has been deliberately activated
in the project configuration.
• The alarms’ data points are always shown in the data point view but only perform a function if the
corresponding alarm has been set here, too.
