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 41 for details.
Extension Apartment Stations
Additional apartment station
s may be added to each „flat‟. The number of extensions is
limited only by power supply considerations. All apartment station
s for that „flat‟ 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.
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 Release Operating time‟ and „Lock Type‟ on page 20.
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
The trades facility is accessed by pressing the
door
button. An optional time clock may be
used to allow one function during the programmed time(s) and another at all other times.
These functions can be:
– unlock the door, ask for an entry code or ignore the button
press.
There are 2 entry codes available, a residents code and a tradesman‟s code.
DDA Functionality
The bell
free
digital 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 and reassurance tones to indicate apartment station ringing and door released.
Contact your sales representative for further details.
Multiple Entrances
The bell
free
system allows multiple entrances to be catered for by the addition of a door
controller and entrance panel for each entrance and additional power supplies.
Gate and Block Systems
Sites with two or more blocks sharing one or more site entrances are catered for with our
BSSW Gate controller. The blocks can then work independently but will receive calls from
the shared entrance.
For further details see the “bell
issimo
and Bellcall Manual Gate and Block (PD-
