Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device

Safe through scattered light measurement - now with Q quality seal

The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device can save lives. It auto­mat­ic­ally de­tects dan­ger­ous ac­cu­mu­la­tions of smoke and sounds the alarm with a loud, pulsing alarm tone (85 dB) and a red LED ring in­dic­ator. In doing so, it util­ises the pho­to­elec­tric scattered-​light prin­ciple: Smoke, which de­vel­ops dur­ing fires, con­tains fine smoke particles. The dens­ity of these smoke particles is meas­ured by the smoke alarm device. A diode in the device con­tinu­ously emits light sig­nals, and a photo cell ana­lyses the scattered light caused by smoke particles.

An alarm is triggered as soon as the con­cen­tra­tion of scattered light ex­ceeds the limit. With its high-​quality design, the Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device blends in well with any sur­round­ings. The device has an in­teg­rated bat­tery with a ser­vice life of at least 10 years. Its cost-​effective nature makes it easy to take pre­cau­tions against dam­age caused by fire in every room.

Q seal for enhanced quality

Holder of a ‘Q’ qual­ity seal, the Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device meets the strin­gent qual­ity cri­teria of vfdb (Ger­man Fire pro­tec­tion As­so­ci­ation) guideline 14-01 and DIN EN 14604:2009-​02. The Q stands for veri­fied dur­ab­il­ity and the re­duc­tion of false alarms with sim­ul­tan­eously in­creased sta­bil­ity, e.g. against ex­ternal factors.

More about the Q qual­ity seal

Detection of smoke through scattered light measurement

The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device de­tects fires at an early stage from the build-​up of smoke. To do this, it uses the pho­to­elec­tric scattered-​light prin­ciple: A diode in the device con­tinu­ously emits light sig­nals to de­tect smoke, and a photo cell ana­lyses the scattered light caused by smoke particles. An alarm is triggered as soon as the con­cen­tra­tion of scattered light ex­ceeds the limit.

Battery failure warning (30 days)

The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device con­tinu­ously mon­it­ors its smoke ana­lysis and checks the bat­tery voltage. Any faults are in­dic­ated by a fault sig­nal (sig­nal tone and LED). The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device sig­nals that the device will have to be re­placed 30 days in ad­vance. The device re­mains com­pletely func­tional dur­ing this period.

Installation locations

There should be smoke alarm devices in the hall­way and stair­case, as well as in each bed­room and chil­dren’s room. In build­ings with sev­eral floors, there should be at least one smoke alarm device on each floor. This in­creases the safety of all the oc­cu­pants of the build­ing. Note: In the kit­chen, the Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device should be in­stalled as far from the cook­ing area as pos­sible in order to pre­vent false alarms caused by water va­pour.

Certified safety: Recommendation for the installation of smoke alarm devices

Smoke alarm devices are lifesavers – and must there­fore be able to do their job re­li­ably in case of an emer­gency. For this reason, you must en­sure that they are cor­rectly in­stalled. In order to en­sure that smoke alarm de­tect­ors are pro­fes­sion­ally in­stalled in ac­cord­ance with DIN 14676, the stand­ard provides re­com­mend­a­tions for veri­fy­ing the pro­fes­sional com­pet­ence of ser­vice pro­viders per­form­ing the plan­ning, in­stall­a­tion and main­ten­ance of such devices.

Mandatory installation of smoke alarm devices

400 fire deaths, 4,000 burn vic­tims with long-​term dam­age and more than a bil­lion euros of fire dam­age in the private sec­tor every year – in most cases, a smoke alarm device could have saved lives, be­cause far more than half of all fire vic­tims are caught un­aware while asleep at night. Nowadays, Ger­many has im­ple­men­ted a na­tion­wide reg­u­la­tion re­quir­ing the in­stall­a­tion of smoke alarm devices. This means that all new builds and con­ver­sions at least must be equipped with suit­able smoke alarm devices in bed­rooms, chil­dren’s rooms, and hall­ways that are used as res­cue routes lead­ing out­doors. In some cases, vari­ous trans­itional reg­u­la­tions apply to ex­ist­ing res­id­ences. They must then also be equipped ac­cord­ingly.

Installation instructions

The Gira Basic Q smoke alarm device has a flat design which en­ables easy in­stall­a­tion. The battery-​operated device re­quires no wire con­nec­tions and func­tions op­tim­ally when it is moun­ted under the ceil­ing in the middle of the room. Where smoke alarm devices should be po­si­tioned to guar­an­tee min­imum pro­tec­tion var­ies de­pend­ing on the design of the house or apart­ment. In single-​story apart­ments, the hall­way used most fre­quently in case of fire should be part of the min­imum con­fig­ur­a­tion. In multi-​story build­ings, the hall­ways of each story must be in­cluded. How­ever, it is ad­vis­able to equip all rooms for op­timum pro­tec­tion.
