1.3 Area of application
The Gira radio emergency set is used to signal emergency situations and for alarming
personnel. Signalling of an emergency situation is via a red signal light in the radio call
module as well as acoustically via an optionally activated buzzer, also in the radio call module
(factory setting: off).
The Gira radio emergency set is suited to all areas of application in which the installation of
a call system according to DIN VDE 0834 is not expressly required, but where use of a call
system is still expedient and is also thoroughly recommended due to high risk factors. Thus
installation is possible in locations such as public outdoor facilities (e.g. toilet rooms in public
baths), in public buildings such as administrative authorities, museums, department stores
and also at places of work with especially high risk potential.
The range of application therefore covers for example all rooms in which persons who are
alone (without visual or acoustic contact to their surroundings) may become subject to an
emergency situation.
Gira assumes neither legal responsibility nor provides a guarantee for errors and damage of
any kind as a result of improper use and/or unprofessional installation of the emergency set.
1.4 Functional description
A call is triggered if a person in need of help pulls the cord of the radio pull-cord button. The
triggered call is signalled by a reassurance light in the housing of the radio pull-cord button.
The red signal light of the radio call module simultaneously signals outside the room that
help is required.
The radio switch-off button is located in the room where the call was triggered and is
installed adjacent to the door. A triggered call can be deactivated by the person hurrying
to give help pressing the green switch-off button.
Visual call signalling is with a red continuous light.
Acoustic call signalling in the radio call module can be switched on or off via the DIP switch
on the circuit board (see Figure 2.3:) (factory setting: buzzer off).
The radio call module features a zero-voltage relay contact (see 2.7). The relay functions as
a zero-voltage NC contact. This can be used for example for connection of a Gira TeleCoppler
(optional).
After power failure, the function of the emergency set is maintained as all devices in the radio
emergency set are battery-buffered (please see the technical data for precise designations
of the battery types used).
The radio emergency set can be expanded by purchasing further components:
• Radio pull-cord button (Order No.: 5932 ..
• Radio switch-off button (Order No.: 5931 ..)
