POWER SUPPLY
The Bell Box is powered by 4 x D-cell alkaline batteries. It also features low battery voltage detection. When low battery is detected, a low battery signal
will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly. The Bell Box will also
emit 5 beeps when armed/disarmed to notify the user of low battery condition.
6
SUPERVISION FUNCTION
When the Dip Switch #7 is slid to ON position, the Bell Box will conduct a Self-test Periodically by transmitting a supervisory signal once every 30-50
mins in normal operation mode.
If this signal is not received, the Control Panel will determine the particular Bell Box is out-of-order and report the event accordingly.

FUNCTION OVERVIEW

The siren produces a minimum of 104 dBA sound pressure at 1 meter range when activated.
For Burglar and Panic Alarm, the Bell Box gives a continuous alarm sound.

The siren is silenced when either the programmed siren length expires or when the Control Panel is disarmed to turn off the siren. Please refer
to Dip Switch table above to set your desired alarm length through Dip Switch SW3 and SW4 setting.
STROBE (LED) LIGHT
When the Bell Box is activated, the LED strobe light will also flash to indicate the Bell Box is alarming. The duration of strobe light flash is determined by
Dip Switch SW2 setting. When set to OFF, the strobe light will flash according to the alarm length set by Dip Switch SW3 and SW4. When set to ON, the
strobe light will flash after the alarm length has expired until the control panel is disarmed.
ALARM MEMORY
If an alarm was triggered in your absence and the system was not disarmed before alarm length expiry, the Bellbox will sound a short alarm when the
system is disarmed to warn the user that an alarm has been triggered when he is away. This suggests that the intruder could still be within the premises.
ALARM LENGTH
When an alarm is activated by Control Panel, the Control Panel will notify the Bellbox to start alarming according to the panel’s own alarm length setting.
When the Panel’s alarm length expires, it will notify the Bellbox to stop alarm.
The Bellbox’s own alarm length setting, which is set by Dip Switch SW3&4, determines how long the Bellbox should activate alarm if no stop signal is
received from Control Panel:
For example
If the Panel alarm length is set longer than Bellbox alarm length, after an alarm is activated, instead of waiting panel alarm length to expire, the
Bellbox will stop alarming upon expiry of its own alarm length.
If the panel is under disarm mode and the Bellbox tamper switch is triggered, the Bellbox will activate alarm according to its own alarm length
setting since the panel is under disarm mode and will not activate alarm from tamper trigger.
TAMPER PROTECTION
The Bellbox is protected against any attempt to open the lid or to detach the bellbox from its mounting surface.
If the Bellbox detects a tamper condition, it will activate the siren & strobe light for the programmed alarm period. A tamper signal will be sent to the
Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly. If the tamper condition persists, the Bellbox
will sound a series of five beeps either every time the system is armed or when the tamper is enabled, to indicate a fault.
Tamper feature can be disabled temporaily from the Control Panel using Siren Tamper control function. The Bellbox will stop tamper detection
temporarity for one hour. This function is mainly designed for replacing battery or changing Bellbox installation location. After one hour, The Control
Panel will automatically turn the function back ON after the duration. The tamper detection can also be enabled again manually using the Siren Tamper
function.
AUDIO & VISUAL STATUS INDICATION TABLE
