Gira Dual Series - User Manual

For your safety
Installation and mounting of electrical
devices may only be carried out by
qualified electricians.
Serious injury (e.g. caused by an electric
shock), fire, or material damage are
possible in case of improper mounting.
Read these instructions thoroughly and
observe them.
These instructions are part of the product
and must remain with the end customer.
Product features
The 230 V base supplies mains voltage of
230 V to the smoke alarm device Dual Q.
The battery integrated in the smoke alarm
device Dual Q then only supplies power in
case of a mains failure.
Product features
• Base with integrated power supply unit
for power supply of the smoke alarm
device Dual Q with 230 V AC.
• Can also be used for the smoke alarm
device Dual/VdS.
• Up to 40 smoke alarm devices can be
networked via a separate conductor.
• Connection of the supply cable/
networking cable is in the base.
• Automatic changeover to battery supply
if the mains voltage fails.
Smoke alarm device Dual Q
Please see the installation and operating
instructions of the smoke alarm device
Dual Q for all the functions of the smoke
alarm device Dual Q (e. g. switching off
smoke detection, function test, etc.).
Device description
Mounting the base
1. Switch the mains voltage off.
2. Cut out the pre-perforated slots for cable
inlet using a suitable tool (e.g. knife).
3. Mount the base.
4. Connect the 230 V power supply on the
terminal block. Plan a conform circuit
breaker (accord. to EN 60950-1:2014-
08).
5. If desired, network more than one 230 V
base (up to 40 bases).
6. Switch on mains voltage.
7. Lock the smoke alarm device Dual Q
onto the base.

Danger
Touching live parts can result in serious
material damage or injuries, e.g. due to
fire or an electric shock.
Isolate before working on the device and
cover up live parts in the vicinity.
In case of non-observance, there is a risk of
personal liability for material damage and
injury!
Note
Networking may only be "in series",
as signal transmission issues can result
otherwise.
Other types of networking (e.g. star-
shaped) are not permitted.
