Important terms related to the security system Alarm Connect
Below you will find information on how to quickly and easily set up and commission a project,
and how to perform a functionality test for the project, with at least three devices.
After a successful functionality test, the settings defined, as well as the devices set for the
customer project, can continue to be used.
In relation to the security system Alarm Connect, there are certain terms that are briefly
explained in advance.
The two main
modes in the alarm
control unit
Connect
Commissioning and configuration mode
The following two modes are important when using the alarm control unit Connect:
• Operating mode.
• Configuration mode.
Operating mode
In operating mode, messages (e.g. “Alarm device open”) are shown in the display and the safety
area can be switched to “internally or externally armed”, or can be disarmed.
Prerequisite for the operating mode: the housing cover is closed (position 0) or pushed up to
the first stop (position 1).
Configuration mode
In configuration mode, changes from the GPA can be saved to the alarm control unit memory
under “Project commissioning”. To do this, the alarm control unit must be connected to the
commissioning PC.
In addition, the test mode (in the GPA or on the wireless operating unit) can be activated.
Prerequisite for the configuration mode: The screws visible in position 1 and integrated into the
hinged cover have been loosened. The housing cover is removed (position 2)—only works with
previously-released locking screws—and the hinged cover of the battery compartment can be
opened.
Security system Alarm Connect
The security system Alarm Connect can only be commissioned with the GPA (Gira Project
Assistant) configuration software.
Detailed information on the security system Alarm Connect can be found in the system or in
the GPA online help section.
The GPA and the system description are available at www.gira.de/service/download.

What is a security
area?
The security area
The Gira security system Alarm Connect has a maximum of four security areas.
One feature of the security area is the monitoring of completed buildings or areas, each of
which can be separately armed or disarmed. Unauthorised intrusion into an armed security area
triggers an alarm.
Example: An object with two independent security areas (each security area has a separate
entrance). The alarm control unit Connect is located in Security area 1.
For the application described in this Quick Start Guide, only the main security area is required.
What does
“Activated
internally” mean?
"Activated internally"( )?
“Internally activated” means that a security area is armed and people are in the security area.
This corresponds to the so-called perimeter monitoring.
Internal activation takes place, for example, on the wireless operating unit within the security
area.
Devices with the setting “active when externally armed” (e.g. wireless motion detectors) do not
trigger an alarm when a detected event occurs.
Devices with the setting “active when internally and externally armed” (e.g. wireless magnetic
contact) trigger an alarm when a detected event occurs.
What does
“Externally
activated” mean?
“Externally activated” ( )?
“Externally activated” means that a security area is armed and that no one is in the security
area. This corresponds to the so-called indoor and perimeter monitoring.
All devices with the setting “active when internally and externally armed” or “active when
externally armed” trigger an alarm when a detected event occurs.
Security area 1, (main security area):
Main apartment with separate entrance
Security area 2
Office with separate entrance
Security area in the GPA project
Note the following:
• Alarm control unit Connect in the GPA is always situated in the main security area (Security
area 1).
• One wireless operating unit is required per security area used.
• Always assign the wireless outdoor siren (optional) to the main security area.

I want to quickly
test the security
system Alarm
Connect. What do
I need to do?
Set up, put into commission and test a small security system
Alarm Connect
For quick set-up and functional testing, the security system Alarm Connect has the following
three devices:
• 1 x alarm control unit Connect (mandatory).
• 1 x wireless operating unit (mandatory).
• At least one alarm detector (here: 1 x wireless magnetic contact as a trigger).
Here goes! Prepare the alarm control unit Connect
1. Unpack the alarm control unit Connect.
2. Push the housing cover up until the screws that are integrated into the hinged cover of the
battery compartment are exposed and the housing cover is noticeably blocked. The housing
cover is now in Position 1.
3. Loosen both screws and remove the housing cover. The hinged cover on the battery
compartment can be opened. The housing cover can only be pushed up beyond Position 1
if the two screws were loosened before! The alarm control unit Connect is only in
configuration mode once the housing cover has been removed! Do not reinsert and slide
down the housing cover.
4. Connect the battery pack and the mains voltage.
5. Connect the commissioning PC to the alarm control unit Connect via Ethernet cable:
• One-to-one connection via the LAN port of the alarm control unit Connect or
• Via the local network.
Configuration mode of the alarm control unit Connect
For the configuration mode of the alarm control unit Connect, the following applies:
• All security areas are disarmed.
• The internal battery pack and the mains voltage are connected.
• The housing cover is removed.

Setting up the
project
Configuration in GPA
1. Download and install the most current version of GPA from Gira's download area.
2. Open GPA and create a new project (in the example “Sample project”).
3. Select “Alarm system” under project scope.
4. Create a building structure (in the example: one storey, one room).
5. The alarm control unit Connect is displayed under “New devices found” in the device library.
6. The GPA might request a firmware update from the alarm control unit. The GPA
automatically detects if an updated firmware version is available.
7. Locate the alarm control unit Connect (by dragging and dropping into the room).
8. The alarm control unit Connect is disabled (visible by the symbol). Enter the initial password
and unlock the alarm control unit Connect.
What is the initial
device password?
Battery capacity and firmware update
A firmware update works only with sufficient battery capacity.
When delivered, the capacity of the battery pack is insufficient for a firmware update.
The GPA aborts the firmware update automatically and without warning when insufficient
battery capacity is detected! The alarm control unit Connect should be connected to the mains
voltage for at least two hours if the battery pack is connected. Firmware updates can then be
carried out successfully.

Perform a test Test the system and devices
Done! That's all. The security system Alarm Connect has been successfully set up, commis-
sioned and tested. What's next?
Change the test
project into a
“real” customer
project
Creating a customer project
Reopen GPA and expand the existing test project.
So that the customer project can be put into commission as “ready for use”, all devices in the
GPA must be located and configured.
After the project has been commissioned, the devices must first be mounted in accordance
with the enclosed instructions and then put into commissioned.
Next, a check can be performed on the wireless control unit by pressing the key (information
key) on the info page to see whether there are any faults or “open detectors” displayed.
Example: “Tamper alarm, alarm control unit”: In this case, the housing cover on the alarm
control unit Connect has not yet been pushed down to Position 0.
After eliminating all faults, the corresponding messages can be acknowledged on the info page
with the factory-assigned PIN (0001). Observe the notes regarding the PIN in the operating
instructions of the wireless operating unit.
If the devices from the test project are not installed directly at the customer, all batteries and
the battery pack must be removed from the devices before discharge, and stored in a safe place.
1. Hold the magnet to the wireless magnetic
contact.
The symbol turns off.
The “fault” is the only thing displayed.
2. Remove the magnet again.
The symbol reappears in the display.
