Call Privacy
Once a call has been made from an entrance panel only the apartment station(s) which is /
are ringing may answer the call. Once the call is answered another apartment station will
not activate (including extensions of the active apartment station).
User Activation (CCTV Mode)
While the system is idle, touching the
view
symbol will activate the system and display the
picture at the primary entrance panel. Once activated, touching the
pickup
symbol will
enable speech at the entrance and the lock symbol may now be used to release the door
or the user can hang-up. The picture will switch off after the pre-set talk-time.
Cameras
The door controller has the capability of using one or two cameras, for instance a second
panel camera for DDA or a ‘third party’ ‘CCTV’ camera located to offer a different entrance
viewpoint. Touching the
view
symbol will alternate the view between camera 1 and
camera 2 (if enabled).
Note. The camera to controller wiring has termination options which allow for connections
to other video equipment. See the Camera sharing diagram on page 37 for details.
Extension Apartment Stations
Additional apartment stations may be added to the basic system. The number of
extensions is limited only by power supply considerations. All apartment stations will ring
when called however typically only the master unit will display a picture while ringing.
Once the master or extension apartment station is ‘picked-up’ the picture will display on
that unit alone. An extra power supply may be used to allow extension apartment stations
to display a picture while ringing.
Lock Type
The door controller supports both fail-secure and fail-safe locks including magnetic locks of
up to 1A rating. The lock time may be programmed between 1 and 99 seconds. (See
‘Lock Operating time’ and ‘Lock Type’ on page 19.
Exit Button and Fire Switch
An input is provided for an exit button, which can be installed on the inside of the door and
allow residents to exit freely. Momentary operation of this button will operate the lock
release for the programmed lock time. A Fire switch or other override device may use the
same input to hold the door open indefinitely. Note. Fail secure locks must be
continuously rated.
Trades Facility
Use of a time clock in conjunction with a trades button will allow free access during the
programmed time(s).
DDA Functionality
The bell
free
video system has a range of options for entrance panels to help meet the
requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), including Illuminated Tactile
buttons, reassurance tones and LED indicators for “Speak Now” and “Door Open”.
