You can use the blue function button at the door station to listen to new mailbox 
messages, record new announcements and activate/deactivate the mailbox. 
Visitors can leave a message even without the function button. The remaining 
mailbox features are easily controlled using the remote station of the door 
station (i.e., MOBOTIX App).

Each BellRFID base module contains 6 RFID cards (1 admin, 5 user cards). 
Each button set contains pre-cut name plates made of UV-resistant paper. If 
required, you can replace the button sets later on – in the same base module! 
In order to configure the system using BellRFID, the bell buttons are replaced 
by a keypad insert, which is delivered with the base module.

Before starting the installation and initial operation, you should download part 1 and 2 of the door station’s 

System Manual from the MOBOTIX website 

(

www.mobotix.com

 > Support > Manuals

).

If the installation of the IP Video Door Station with BellRFID is not followed by the initial operation right away, MOBOTIX recommends to remove the keypad 
insert and to insert the button set before starting the installation. This way, the soft rubber surface of the BellRFID base module is well protected until the 
module is brought into service (bell buttons are then replaced by the keypad insert). Note that the base module is weatherproof even without the bell 
buttons.

When replacing the button set or exchanging name plates, you need to remove the module from the frame of the IP Video Door Station. Use the 
blue MOBOTIX key for unlocking the module. 

Make sure that you are activating the mechanical theft protection with the red turning knob 

in the door station frame only 

after you have finished the initial operation

 (see the 

Section «Mechanical Anti-Theft Protection Lock» in the 

door station’s 

System Manual Part 1).

In order to avoid having to remove the module and install it again, you should insert the proper name plates before starting the initial operation. 
Use our free-of-charge printing service on 

www.mobotix.com

 in the 

Support

 section! Or use the supplied name plates made from sturdy specialty 

paper and write the names using a UV-resistant marker.

1.  Insert the Name Plate(s)

Remove the silicon insert from the button. Recommendation: Take a suitable 
tool without a sharp blade, cautiously insert it into the slot, gently press 
inward and lift the tool as shown.

Insert the labeled or printed name plate as shown (the arrows at the side 
are pointing upwards later on).

Place the silicon insert on top of the name plate, push it into the frame at 
the top and at the bottom of the center, then push its sides into the frame.

Make sure that the silicon insert fits flush into the frame of the bell button 
as shown to protect the name plate against humidity.

2. Insert the Module into the Door Station

You can use the BellRFID module as an alternative to the KeypadRFID (but 
not yet side-by-side) in the frame of an IP Video Door Station. For installing 
and wiring the module, follow the same steps as for the KeypadRFID.

Follow the description in the 

Section «Installing the KeypadRFID Access 

Module» of the door station’s System Manual Part 1. Likewise, the other 
connection variants listed in the 

Section «Overview: Connection and Wiring 

Diagrams» (e.g., connecting an electrical door opener in a system without 
DoorMaster).

Finish the installation of the BellRFID module by following the steps listed in 
the 

Section «Finishing the Installation» of the door station’s System Manual 

Part 1. Similar to the KeypadRFID, the blue and the green status LEDs are 
flashing (power supply OK, ready for auto configuration).

Installation Hint

When installing the module, insert it first on the right-hand 
side. Then use two fingers and press on the left-hand 
edge until the module clicks into the frame. 

Caution: Only 

press at the edge, never at the center of the module!

Make sure that the cabling is not pinched and damaged 
when installing the module.

3. Execute Auto Configuration

Place the supplied keypad insert into the base module 
(push it into the frame at the top, then push the bottom 
into the module).

Start the auto configuration of the IP Video Door Station by executing the 
steps listed in the 

Section «Step 1: Performing the Auto Configuration» of 

the door station’s 

System Manual Part 2 (connect all devices, establish the 

power supply and press the bell button of the camera module immediately 
after the light and bell buttons are lighting up).

Once you have successfully completed the auto configuration, the white 
camera illumination is on and the BellRFID shows the following status:
• The green status LED is flashing continuously, the blue LED flashes for a 

short time before it extinguishes.

• The LED of the keypad behind the top right key (

OK

) is red.

Finish the auto configuration by executing the steps listed in the 

Section 

«Functional Test Part 1» of the door station’s System Manual Part 2.

4. Enter Super PIN and Confirm

The 

Super PIN

 is used to protect the system against misuse and also replaces 

the factory default password (“

meinsm

”) as the new admin password. The 

password is also used when adding the door station to the MOBOTIX App or 
MxEasy, for example (user name is 

admin

, new password is the 

<Super 

PIN>

). Select a Super PIN that has a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 

16 digits (more and different digits make it more secure). For additional 
information on the Super PIN, see the door station’s 

System Manual Part 2.
