Safety instructions

To ensure personal safety, it is important to follow these 

safety instructions. These instructions must be kept. 

 

ú

Before installation, read and observe the safety notes 

for these components and the drive. Warranty claims 

require proper mounting, installation and maintenance in 

accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

 

ú

Only appropriately qualified people may carry 

out installation, commissioning and maintenance. 

Unauthorised modifications to the system release GEZE 

from liability for any resulting damages. 

 

ú

Only use GEZE original parts for repair and service work.

 

ú

Observe the latest versions of guidelines, standards and 

country-specific regulations.

 

ú

Protect the components of the GC 172 from construction 

dirt and water.

Brief description of wireless kit

The wireless kit is part of the GEZE hold-open system FA 

GC 150 or FA GC 160.

The wireless module GC 171, ID 163051, makes wireless com-

munication possible between the lintel-mounted smoke 

switch and the various wireless devices:

 

ú

Wireless ceiling-mounted smoke detector GC 172 ID 195522

 

ú

Wireless ceiling-mounted thermal detector GC 173 ID 195523

 

ú

Wireless input module GC 175, ID 163068 (for the connection of 

manual trigger switches or contacts for the fire alarm system)

3.2  Protection of the smoke detector from contamination

 

ú

Do not remove the dust protection cap from the smoke detector until commissioning is about to take place.

 

ú

After the smoke detector has been installed and the dust protection removed, make sure no dust gets into the measuring chamber. 

This leads to increased contamination and can significantly shorten the service life of the smoke detector.

 

ú

The measuring chamber of a smoke detector must not be opened.

Heed the document for the hold-open system FA GC 150 or FA GC 160 - Instructions for the installation, commissioning, operation and 

maintenance, see www.geze.com.

Wireless ceiling-mounted smoke

3.1  Use

The GC 172 is a wireless ceiling-mounted smoke detector for 

use in the GEZE hold-open system FA GC 150 or FA GC 160. 

Signal transfer from the detector takes place wirelessly. 

A wireless module GC 171 is essential for use of the  

wireless ceiling-mounted smoke detector GC 172.

Smoke detectors detect smoke. They work using the scat-

tered light principle. A light transmitter and a light interface 

are arranged in the measuring chamber in such a way that 

no light reaches the interface in the normal case. If there are 

suspended particles (smoke) in the measuring chamber, these 

scatter part of the light onto the interface, which converts this 

into an electric signal. 

In other words, a smoke detector not only detects smoke 

but all other suspended particles and responds sensitively 

to contamination.
