Easy installation and start-up

Explanation of systems

The Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem makes deal­ing with tech­no­logy simple. In­stall­a­tion without wast­ing time and ef­fort on cabling dur­ing renov­a­tion pro­jects and con­fig­ur­a­tion of the sys­tem without the need for all of the oc­cu­pants to be present – this is made pos­sible by the 2-​wire bus tech­no­logy and one-​man start-​up concept. With the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem, video func­tion­al­ity is also pos­sible in prop­er­ties with up to 28 res­id­en­tial units. Gira has in­teg­rated door com­mu­nic­a­tion into the design lines for this pur­pose. Gira home sta­tions are avail­able in a vari­ety of designs and dif­fer­ent col­ours can be com­bined with a wide range of frame op­tions.


Product range

The Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem provides solu­tions for all in­door and out­door re­quire­ments: Single homes to multi-​family build­ings, flush-​mounted or surface-​mounted in­stall­a­tion, audio and video func­tions, use via the Gira G1, smart­phones and PC, in­teg­ra­tion into own sys­tems and sys­tems from other man­u­fac­tur­ers, in­teg­ra­tion of ex­ternal cam­eras, key­less ac­cess with Gira Key­less In and vandalism-​resistant door sta­tions.


Installation

Gira makes tech­no­logy simple. In­stall­a­tion without wast­ing time and ef­fort on cabling and con­fig­ur­a­tion without the need for all of the oc­cu­pants to be present – made pos­sible by the 2-​wire bus tech­no­logy and one-​man start-​up concept.


2-wire bus

In tech­no­lo­gical terms, the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem is based on the 2-​wire bus, whereby only two wires are needed to sup­ply the com­pon­ents with power and to trans­mit all the audio and video sig­nals. This means that an ex­ist­ing door­bell sys­tem can be eas­ily re­placed by the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem, for ex­ample. Rather than rout­ing new cables, the ex­ist­ing cables are used. Also, in new in­stall­a­tions, the 2-​wire bus tech­no­logy re­duces the oth­er­wise nor­mal cabling ef­fort for a door in­ter­com and en­ables rapid, reverse-​polarity pro­tec­ted in­stall­a­tion.


One-man start-up thanks to ease of programming

The Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem can be pro­grammed by just one in­stall­a­tion en­gin­eer, which not only saves you money, it is also help­ful when it comes to sub­sequent main­ten­ance work. Start-​up of the sys­tem is easy: first, the call but­tons on the door sta­tion are pressed for three seconds each in the order that the home sta­tions are to be sub­sequently as­signed in. Then, the home sta­tions are pro­cessed one after the other by press­ing the “Light” but­ton each time. Al­tern­at­ively, the sta­tions can be pro­cessed by press­ing the floor-​call but­ton. The ad­vant­age of this is that the oc­cu­pants do not need to be present in order to set up the sys­tem.


Door communication planning tool

Elec­trical spe­cial­ists ob­tain fur­ther in­form­a­tion about the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem in the “Plan­ning tool”. It con­tains basic know­ledge re­lat­ing to sample plans and con­nec­tions, cable rout­ing, pro­ject plan­ning and more be­sides. Order No. 1736 10


Online course

Mas­ter elec­tri­cians can find study courses cov­er­ing Gira sys­tems at www.akademie.gira.de. A train­ing course on the sub­ject of the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem can also be found there. The ad­vant­age of on­line learn­ing is that the user can de­cide for them­selves when, how and where to study. If the user runs out of time, the course can be paused and re­sumed at a later date. The multimedia-​based ap­proach and the di­verse con­tent makes it more fun and fur­ther links offer valu­able ad­di­tional in­form­a­tion. Those wish­ing to learn simply need to sign up on the page and can start with the tu­tori­als straight away.


Extended number of devices

The Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem with video func­tion­al­ity can be in­stalled in build­ings with up to 28 home sta­tions. When plan­ning the sys­tem, the num­ber of home sta­tions that will be in­stalled per res­id­en­tial unit has often already been de­term­ined. It was pre­vi­ously as­sumed that up to three home sta­tions could be called at the same time by each call but­ton. That lim­ited the max­imum num­ber of devices to 18. In lar­ger prop­er­ties, how­ever, often only one home sta­tion is used for each res­id­en­tial unit. The Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem now takes this into ac­count. it is pos­sible to design the sys­tem so that a call but­ton is con­nec­ted to just one home sta­tion. It is pos­sible to in­stall dif­fer­ent equip­ment in the res­id­en­tial units if the num­ber of devices is re­duced ac­cord­ingly. This can be read from a grad­a­tion over­view dur­ing sys­tem plan­ning. It spe­cifies the max­imum num­ber of devices to be used for the rel­ev­ant set-​up. If one home sta­tion is con­nec­ted per res­id­en­tial unit, video func­tion­al­ity can be provided in up to 28 res­id­en­tial units using the Gira door com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tem. Twelve res­id­en­tial units can be equipped if there are two home sta­tions per res­id­en­tial unit. If three home sta­tions are in­stalled per res­id­en­tial unit, a max­imum of six res­id­en­tial units can be equipped with video func­tion­al­ity. An over­view of the equip­ment pos­sib­il­it­ies:

1 home sta­tion per unit:
- 28 res­id­en­tial units
- 28 home sta­tions

2 home sta­tions per unit:
- 12 res­id­en­tial units
- 24 home sta­tions

3 home sta­tions per unit:
- 6 res­id­en­tial units
- 18 home sta­tions
