Device description
The surface-mounted outdoor station with colour camera is a
prefabricated unit and is part of the Gira door communication
system.
The basic structure of a surface-mounted outdoor station is pre-
sented in the example of the surface-mounted outdoor station
with colour camera and call push button 2/3-gang.

Functional scope of the colour camera
The colour camera of the flush-mounted outdoor station has the
following product features:
Automatic day/night switching
The camera switches from daytime operation (colour presenta-
tion) to night mode (black and white presentation) and back
again at an ambient brightness of 1 lux. Good display results are
achieved due to the high-degree of light sensitivity in night
mode, even with poor lighting conditions (up to 0.1 lux).
The integrated white LEDs ensure an even field of view illumina-
tion in night mode.
Large range of coverage
The colour camera can be swivelled manually by 20º horizontally
and vertically during start-up. A very large field of view in the
door entry area results in conjunction with the 100° range of
coverage of the camera.
Camera heating
The integrated temperature-dependent camera heating pre-
vents condensation from forming on the camera cover due to
changing weather conditions and thus provides a clear view.
Camera cover
The splash water-resistant cover made of impact-resistant plas-
tic can be easily replaced if damaged, e.g. through vandalism.

6
Selection of the installation site
The selection of the installation site and good illumination are
critical for good picture quality.
No backlighting
Do not point the camera toward strong background lighting,
such as streetlamps or yard illumination. 
Prevent strong sunlight from hitting the lens.
Picture background
Avoid pointing the camera toward extremely light picture back-
grounds and backgrounds with stark contrasts.
Illumination
LEDs integrated in the camera provide even field of view illumi-
nation in the darkness.
In poor lighting conditions (< 1 lux) or with the field of view illu-
mination switched on, the colour camera provides black and
white pictures only.
If the entry area is equipped with additional illumination, ensure
that the light source does not shine directly into the camera from
the front. The best installation site of an external light source is
above the colour camera.
Installation height
The recommended installation height of the colour camera is
1.50 m.
At this installation height, people with an average height of 1.80
m are presented optimally.
The minimum installation height is 1.20 m.

Mounting

Attention
Installation and mounting of electrical devices may only be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician.
The PCB can be pushed downward for mounting and for con-
nection of the bus line.
1. Select the installation site. The cable duct leading into the
bottom section of the housing is used for line guidance. The
installation height of the outdoor station can be varied via
the line outlet in this way.
2. Mark the mounting holes using the hole template (part of
the packaging).
3. Drill the holes (6 mm) and insert the accompanying plugs.
4. Guide the stripped bus line with approx. 5 mm of insulation
into the bottom section of the housing.
5. Mount the bottom section of the housing to the wall with
the accompanying screws.
Push the PCB downward to screw in the upper mounting
screws.
6. Connect the 2-wire bus to the bus terminals.
The wire jumpers between BUS and ZV are required for opera-
tion of the colour camera. Thus the illumination of the call but-
tons at the outdoor station cannot be switched off.
If an external supply is connected to the ZV terminals, the jump-
ers between ZV and BUS must be removed.

7. Push the PCB into the upper position.
8. Set the camera lens in the desired direction 
(see "Setting range of coverage", Page 10).
9. Remove the protective film on the lens.
10.Attach the camera cover.
11.Ensure proper seating of the speech cover and colour cam-
era sealing rings.
12.Set the upper section of the housing in place, press on it
firmly and screw in the Torx screws.
Instead of using Torx screws, you can also use the optional Tri-
Wing screws to secure the top section of the frame.
Start-up
Once you have installed all of the devices (outdoor and home
stations, video control unit etc.), you can start up the door com-
munication system.
Start-up is described in the system manual included with the
video control unit.

Range of coverage of the colour camera
The CCD sensor element of the colour camera has an angular
coverage of 100°. 
If this angular coverage is not sufficient for your installation sce-
nario, you can swivel the area to be captured by 20° in all direc-
tions.

Setting range of coverage
The protective film on the lens of the colour camera protects
the sensitive optics from scratches and soiling. 
Leave this film on the lens as long as possible and avoid touch-
ing the lens directly after the protective film has been removed.
1. Remove (with the housing frame open) the
cover from the colour camera.





2. Slightly loosen both Torx screws to the left and
right of the camera lens.




When adjusting the lens carrier, it is sufficient to slightly loosen
the screws. 
Do not completely unscrew the screws from their brackets.
3. Set the camera lens in the desired direction.

4. At the TFT display of the connected home sta-
tion, check whether the set angle of the camera
lens is adjusted properly and whether the view
of a person in front of the door is optimal.
5. Lock the lens carrier by tightening both Torx
screws again.




6. Remove the protective film on the lens.
7. Reattach the camera cover.
8. Set the upper section of the housing in place,
press on it firmly and screw in the Torx screws.

Operation
Volume setting
The volume can be set separately at each outdoor station. 
The volume setting must be made by two people.
1. Start programming mode at the control unit by pressing the
"Systemprogr." button for 3 seconds until the yellow LED
next to the button starts flashing.
2. Briefly press a previously assigned call push button at the
outdoor station.
3. The second person accepts the door call at the home sta-
tion (via receiver or speech button) and starts speaking.
4. Briefly press the call push button at the outdoor station
again.
✓The volume changes when the button is pressed during the
voice connection. 
There are five volume levels in total.
The next-highest volume is set with each button press. When
the loudest volume level is reached, the next button press
sets the quietest volume level.
5. End the voice connection.
The most recently set volume level is saved in the outdoor
station.
6. Exit programming mode at the control unit by briefly press-
ing the "Systemprogr." button.

13
Initiating a call (ringing)
Press the call push button to trigger a call tone at the assigned
home station. The button press is confirmed by an additional
acknowledgement tone.
Switching light on (in conjunction with a switching
actuator)
Press the call push button to switch on light or another device
via an assigned switching actuator. The button press is con-
firmed by an additional acknowledgement tone.
Changing the label plates
To change the label plates, the call push button cover can simply
be lifted up.
1. Carefully lift the call push button cover, e.g. with
a screwdriver.
2. Change the label plate.
3. Replace the call push button cover and press on
it firmly.
Suitable label plates can be obtained with the optional Gira label-
ling software and the appropriate Gira labelling sheets.
