Set up wireless connection

 

X

Slide a free wireless device switch SW1x of the wireless module GC 171 to the ON position. 

The corresponding wireless device LED1x starts to flash green. If a connection has already 

been set up for the wireless device switch selected, this is overwritten by the following pro-

cess. The wireless module GC 171 waits for the connection query for a new wireless device. 

If a new wireless device does not respond within 2 minutes, the wireless module GC 171 

cancels the connection attempt, the corresponding wireless device LED1x lights up red. 

 

X

To start the connection attempt again, slide the corresponding wireless device switch 

SW1x to the OFF position briefly, then slide it back into the ON position. 

The corresponding wireless device LED1x now flashes green again for 2 minutes.

Install batteries

 

X

Remove the protective films from the battery compartment (4) of the new wireless detec-

tor and install the batteries (5) in the new wireless detector. Make sure of correct polarity. 

   

The LED (2) on the new wireless ceiling-mounted detector flashes green twice first, then 

lights up orange for one second and then flashes red four times. 

As soon as the LED (2) goes out after that, the connection can be set up.

X

Slide the set-up switch (6) on the new wireless detector to the 1 position.

After a short time, the LED of the new wireless detector will flash green for a few seconds. 

The corresponding wireless device LED1x of the wireless module GC 171 lights up green 

permanently.

  

If the LED (2) on the new wireless detector lights up red permanently, no connection has 

been made. 

 

X

In this case, remove the batteries from the new wireless detector, slide the set-up 

switch (6) on the new wireless detector back and forward six times and install the bat-

teries (5) again. Continue as described above.

 

X

Fit the wireless ceiling-mounted smoke detector to the base (8).

 

X

Slide the wireless device switch SW1x of the wireless module GC 171 to the OFF 

position again. 

The colour the corresponding wireless device LED1x flashes indicates the quality of 

the wireless connection (see connection quality). 

 

X

Optimise the quality of the wireless connection if necessary by changing the  

position of the wireless detector.

3.5  Battery replacement

The wireless detector signals “low battery charge” to the wireless module GC 171 if the charge state of the batteries is no longer 

sufficient. Both batteries (5) always have to be replaced together. The set-up switch (6) for the wireless detector must not be activated.

 

X

Take the wireless detector out of the base (8).

 

X

Remove the battery compartment cover (3).

 

X
