Cable lengths for audio components The maximum total cable length (distributed among several wiring sections) is 700 m. A maximum of 30 devices may be connected to each wiring section. The maximum cable lengths of the individual sections (from the control device to the last device) are dependent on the cable diameter used.

Additional supply (ZV) The ZV terminals have two functions: 1. Power supply of call button illumination at the door stations. The call buttons are constantly illuminated at the door stations. If the call button illumination is to be switched off permanently, the jumpers between the bus and ZV terminal must be removed.
The audio control device The audio control device is the main power supply of the Gira door communication system. The audio control device assumes the following tasks in the Gira door communication system: • provision of the bus voltage (26 V DC ± 2 V) for the door communication system.
Displays and operating elements of audio control device "Systemprog." button By pressing the "Systemprog." button (for 3 s) the door com- munication system is switched into the programming mode. The yellow LED next to the programming button indicates the active programming mode via flashing (see Page 19). "Türöffnerprogr."...

"Türöffnerzeit" adjuster The activation time of the door opener is set at the "Türöffn- erzeit" adjuster. The setting time lies in the range 1 second to 10 seconds. The potentiometer can be adjusted with a screw- driver with a 3 mm blade. "Betrieb"...
Connection terminals of audio control device L, N Mains connection terminals L and N (AC 230 V, 50 Hz). Output for powering of the Gira door communication bus with regulated direct current (26 V DC ± 2 V, 160 mA). 12 V AC The 12 V AC output is used to supply power to the door opener (power consumption of the door opener is max.
Mounting of audio control device Attention Installation and mounting of electrical devices may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. For installation protected from dripping and sprayed water, mount the control device to a top-hat rail in the distribution. The mains and bus connection is made via screw terminals.
Switching system to programming mode The Gira door communication system is switched to program- ming mode for start-up: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds. ✓ The yellow LED next to the programming button flashes (flash frequency: 1 Hz) after the button is pressed and indicates the active programming mode.
One-family house: Assigning door station call button to home station To assign a door station call button to a home station, proceed as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19). 2.
House divided into several flats: Assigning door station call buttons to home stations To assign the door-station call buttons to the respective home stations, please proceed as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19). 2.
Page 22
4. Go to the home station whose call button is the second one you pressed at the door station. Press the button on this home station for 3 seconds until you hear a short acknowledgement tone. ✓ A long acknowledgement tone indicates successful assignment.
Assigning door opener The door opener connected to the control device is assigned to the "main" door station. It is activated if the button at a home station is pressed spontaneously, even without any pre- vious conversation. The door opener of a "back/side" door is connected to the switching actuator.
Page 24
Assigning door opener of a "side/back" door The door opener connected to the switching actuator is pro- grammed at the respective door station as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19). 2.
Automatic door opener Hands-free feature and Comfort home station The function "automatic door opener" is only supported by the hands-free feature home station and the Comfort home station with receiver. The automatic door opener is, for example, used in doctor's offices when after pressing a door-station call button, the door opener is to be automatically operated.

If the "automatic door opener" function is enabled, you can activate the automatic door opener as necessary on the home station as follows: Activating automatic door opener 1. Simultaneously press the buttons on the home station for approx. 3 seconds to activate the automatic door opener.
Assigning home station via floor-call button If you cannot access the home during start-up, you can also assign the home station via a connected floor-call button: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19). 2.
Assigning several home stations to a call button If several home stations are to be called simultaneously when a door station call button is pressed, a call button can be assigned to several home stations as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19).
Assigning several home stations to a floor-call button If several home stations are to be called simultaneously when a floor call button is pressed, a floor call button can be assigned to several home stations as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19).
Assigning call buttons for home station to a home station (internal call) You can implement the so-called internal call function with the optional call button for home stations. A voice connection between two home stations can be established via the internal call.
Deleting all assignments to a home station A home station which as already been assigned is deleted as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19). 2. Press the button on the home station for which the assignment is to be deleted for 6 seconds.
Deleting assignment of door opener Door opener at audio control device To delete an existing assignment between the door opener connected at the control device and the door station, proceed as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprog." button on the control device for 3 seconds to start programming mode (see Page 19).
Replacement of defective call button top units of a flush-mounted door station You can replace defective door station call button top units at a flush-mounted door station without having to reprogram all assignments: 1. Replace all defective call button top units with new ones. 2.
LED indicators on BUS devices The LEDs of the hands-free feature, Comfort with receiver, surface-mounted hands-free feature and surface-mounted gong home stations indicate the system status: LED/button System status Programming mode active – call-buttons and/or flashes gong not yet assigned Programming mode active –...
Acknowledgement tones of Bus devices In programming mode, the following conditions are indicated using acknowledgement tones: Acknowledgement Meaning tone Short tone • During assignment: release button • While deleting: no meaning, continue to hold down button Long tone • During assignment: call button was assigned successfully •...
