Introduction

Description

A bellissimo video door entry system consists of a door panel, positioned at the entrance

of a building, video telephones (videophone), placed inside of the building for the

convenience of the occupants and a power supply and controller which are usually located

inside an electrical cupboard. The door panel comprises of a two-way speech unit, a

camera and a push button –which must be depressed by a visitor to initiate a call. The

videophone, which rings in response, allows a two-way conversation via a handset whilst

the caller can be observed through the integral display. The operator can selectively allow

visitors access to the building by pressing a button on the videophone and so electrically

releasing the door.

The bellissimo 1-way Video Door Entry System is suitable for any building requiring a

single push button at the entrance, such as houses, individual flats and offices. For multi-

way systems please refer to either the “bellissimo 2-72-way Video Entry System” or

“bellissimo Digital Video Entry System” manuals.

The bellissimo “1-way” system is supplied with a dedicated door controller, which has been

specifically optimised for “1-way” systems, ensuring simple installation. This basic system

can support up to 3 extension videophones (more with additional power supplies). Multiple

entrances can be supported with the addition of one panel and one door controller for each

entrance.

Basic System Operation

Call sequence

When the call button is pressed at the entrance panel it causes the videophone to ring and

the amber view lamp to flash. The videophone will continue to ring for up to 30 seconds

or until the resident responds by picking up the handset. At this time the resident can

freely converse with the visitor whose image is now displayed on the videophone; at the

same time the green lock lamp will flash to highlight the lock button.

The call may be terminated by replacing the handset or more usually by pressing the lock

button first to allow the visitor access through the entrance; the speech and picture will

persist for a further 3 seconds while the door is being released.

Videophone Controls

The diagram in the introduction shows the standard colour monitor and its controls. The

default setting is ringer volume midway and contrast maximum (slide finger to top).

Auto Display

When ‘Auto Display’ mode is selected the picture will come on while the videophone is

ringing, otherwise the picture will only come on when the call is answered. Auto Display

mode is usually pre-selected at installation and generally only one videophone should be

set in this mode (see ‘Extension Videophones’ below).

Call Mute

The resident can mute the ringing sound in the videophone when they do not wish to be

disturbed. Call mute is activated by pressing the mute button on the videophone, which

then illuminates in red as a reminder. The handset must be on the hook for this to work.

Pressing the mute button a second time will disengage the mute function. During

installation it is possible to set a time limit for the mute function in various values from 2

minutes up to 10 hours, indefinitely or disabled. When this time period has elapsed the

mute function will automatically disengage. (See ‘mute timer’, page 20).

Mute only stops the audible ring, but the amber view light will still flash and all other

functions work normally. Mute will continue for the preset time even if a call is answered.

Silent viewing

When the videophone is ringing the resident can press the view button to answer the call

instead of lifting up the handset; this will stop the videophone ringing and enable them to

view the visitor for up to 60 seconds or until the lock button is pressed to release the door.

Silent viewing can be ‘normalised’ at any time by picking up the handset and conversing

with the visitor as described above.

Door Status Indication

The green lock lamp on the videophone will illuminate to warn the resident that a door has

been left open following a call. This feature requires a door monitor contact to be fitted.

Call Privacy

Once a call has been answered by one videophone no other videophones may join in,

view or listen to the call. If another videophones handset is picked up, or the view button

is pressed, the videophone will not activate.

User Activation (CCTV Mode)

While the system is idle, pressing the view button will activate the system and display the

picture at the entrance panel. Once activated, lifting the handset will enable speech at the

entrance and the lock button may now be used to release the door or the user can hang-

up. The picture will switch off after the preset 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. Pressing the view button 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 Options Diagram on page 34 for details.

Extension Videophones

Additional videophones may be added to the basic system. The number of extensions is

limited only by power supply considerations. All videophones will ring when called

however typically only the master unit will display a picture while ringing. Once the master

or extension videophone 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 set between 3 and 20 seconds. (See ‘Lock

Operating time’ and ‘Lock Type’ on page 17.

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 bellissimo 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”.

Contact your sales representative for further details.

Reassurance tone setting is on page 19.

PD-097 Issue 4 Installation and Operating Manual Page 8 of 40

Multiple Entrances

The bellissimo 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.

In a multiple entrance system an optional feature allows the resident to view the cameras

at all the entrances with successive presses of the view button.

For details of this camera feature and user activation see the setting for ‘Camera

Numbering’ on page18.

Door Bell

The BS Videophone has an input which can be used with a doorbell button (or other volt

free contact) to ring the phone. This feature is intended to replace a separate doorbell.

The ring is 2 seconds and all three indicators flash together.

Slave Output

The BS Videophone has a slave output which can operate an external ringer or other

device such as a flashing beacon.

This comprises of a volt-free contact which closes when the videophone is audibly ringing.

The contact does not close when the videophone is muted.

clock. On vandal resistant panels the extra button will be engraved “TRADES”

●Exit button. Model 5077 surface and model 5078 flush versions are available.

●Battery back-up power supply, Model 840 (12V 4A).

●DDA panels (Contact sales for further information).

Entrance Panel –Important Note

Careful consideration should be given to the location of the entrance panel to ensure the

best possible lighting conditions for the camera. In general strong back lighting of the

subject (by the sun and sky) should be avoided, as the contrast between foreground and

background may be too great for the camera. The field of view should contain as little of

the sky as possible, particularly if south facing. If a backlit situation is unavoidable,

additional lighting may be necessary to illuminate the caller and avoid a dark outline image

(silhouette). A light coloured or reflective surface around the panel will redirect backlight to

illuminate the caller.

Door Controller

The door controller and power supply should be wall-mounted in a convenient cupboard or

other protected environment with available mains power. Cable length to the entrance

should be less than 50m. The door controller for the second and subsequent entrances

may be situated in the same location, or to meet the 50m requirement may be situated in

another location. Power supplies may be shared between door controllers placed in the

same location, but controllers in separate locations must be separately powered.

PD-097 Issue 4 Installation and Operating Manual Page 10 of 40

Separately Powered Videophones

The limitation of up to 4 videophones ringing but only one displaying, as indicated in the

power supply and cable distance tables on page 12, can be overcome by the use of

supplementary power from a 340C.

Power Supply Requirements

The system is powered by 12V power supplies only: -

Model PS4 12V, 4A.

Model 840 12V, 4A battery backup supply.

Model 340C 12V, 1.5A optional for extensions.

Note 1. The 28V referred to on the videophone, video controller and wiring diagrams is

internally generated in the controller. DO NOT use any power supply other than 12V or

damage may occur.

Note 2. The PS4 power supply has been specifically designed to operate with the high-

surge requirements of the system. Bell System is unable to guarantee functionality or

provide support for systems which use third party power supplies.

Exact power supply requirements depend upon many factors. The number of power

supplies included within a standard ‘kit’ or quotation assumes that all controllers are

installed in one location and that there are no extensions.

The following table gives examples of the controllers and power supplies for a given

number of entrance doors and extensions.

Cable Specification.

All system wiring must be carried out using Cat5 signal cable and where necessary 1mm²

(or greater) power cable as tabulated below. Cat5 cable has a known performance for the

transmission of video signals, whilst telephone or alarm cables are not suitable.

Bell System will be unable to offer any warranty or support for systems installed

using incorrect cables.

Cat5 Cable Specification

Cat5 is our short reference for EIA standard UTP Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair data

cable. This is a standard solid core twisted pair cable having 4 pairs (8–cores) and no

shield. The cores are in pairs where Blue and ‘Blue with a White stripe’ are twisted

together as the first pair. The other three pairs are similar with main colours Orange,

Green and Brown.

Also available and acceptable are:

UTP Category 5e (Cat5e)

UTP Category 6 (CAT6)

UTP Category 6e (CAT6e)

The exact cable can be chosen from the above on cost and availability grounds.

STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables are not recommended.

UTP “patch cables” are not recommended.

NOTE: Cat5 cable is easily identifiable as the specification is printed on the sheath

Patch cable is used for the desk phone to wall connection as this requires a flexible cable.

The reason for not using it for general wiring is that attenuation is higher and video

distances would be reduced by at least ½, it also costs 2 to 3 times as much as standard

Cat5.

Spurs. A daisy chain run with one or more spurs of up to 3 metres is allowed. For

example a desk phone connection.

Installation & Commissioning

Checklist

The following checklist is a summary of what is required. Refer to the relevant pages for

further details.

●Review the section headed ‘Safety Information’ on page 39.

●Ensure that ‘Design Considerations’ on page 9 have been understood.

●Confirm that Cat5 cable has been specified.

●Install the system according to instructions in this section.

●Check/set the door controller jumper and switch settings.

●Check/set each videophone dipswitch settings.

Wiring

Refer to the diagrams from page 26 onwards as appropriate for the equipment you have.

All wiring is carried out using a mixture of Cat5 for the signal wiring and 1mm² (or greater)

cores for the power wiring; refer to Page 11 for further details. It is strongly recommended

that a consistent colour code be used throughout such as that indicated on the connection

diagram. Certain signals must be interconnected using a twisted pair from the Cat5 cable.

These are clearly marked on the connection diagram and should be strictly observed.

Entrance Panel

The panel should be mounted at an optimum height of 1.6 m, measured between the

ground and the centre of the camera window. With flush mounting panels it is advisable to

apply mastic to the top and side edges of the panel to prevent water ingress behind the

panel, but not to the bottom edge. On construction sites the panel must be protected from

corrosive substances such as ‘brick acid’. The panel should be cleaned only with a damp

cloth containing dilute detergent.

Videophone

The videophone is designed to be wall mounted onto

plasterboard or other masonry at an optimum height of 1.6m. It

should be fixed with three No 8 pan head screws (not supplied).

Use the dimensions shown on the adjacent diagram. If the cable

is to be fed from the wall cavity then make a hole for this at the

same time, the surface cable exit is to the left of the cut-out. The

top two screws are hidden fixings, so screw in but do not fully

tighten. Test hang the videophone and adjust the screws as

required.

Now remove the top cover of the videophone, which is secured

by a clip at the bottom. Hang the videophone on the two screws

already fitted allowing the cable (if present) to feed through and

the third screw to be inserted at the bottom. Tighten the third

screw.

If the silicone rubber buttons fall out, clip them back into the

PCB. Before replacing the Front Cover remove the protective

film from the display lens and also check that the DipSwitch

settings are correct or change as necessary (see Page 20).

PD-097 Issue 4 Installation and Operating Manual Page 14 of 40

Audio Phones

The BSA audio phone can be used as a lower cost alternative to an extension videophone.

It is styled like the bellissimo videophone. The phone is manufactured in white and grey

high-impact ABS plastic that imparts high durability and compliments most wall

furnishings. It incorporates both mute and lock illuminated buttons and it has an Electronic

Ringing Tone with rotary preset volume.

BSA Phone

Electric Door Release

Both fail-secure and fail-safe lock releases (including magnetic locks) use the same

terminals. To set the lock type, refer to the “Door Controller Settings’. When installing lock

releases please allow a little movement on the door, as operation will be impaired if fitted

too tight.

NB. Magnetic locks (maglocks) must be fitted with a suppressor at the lock terminals.

Some manufacturers fit an acceptable internal suppressor.

Fail Safe Exit: Notes

Fail safe exits require an exit button and this should be normally open so that the controller

can be used to give a timed exit. If the exit button has both normally open and normally

closed contacts, then the normally closed contact can be wired in series with the release

or maglock along with the break glass in case of equipment failure.

A not uncommon problem with maglocks, because they cannot be mechanically

overridden, is being locked out of the building due to lost codes, fobs or equipment failure.

So consider an alternate building entrance, or an externally accessible secure keyswitch,

or a reliable method of disabling the system during overnight secure lockup.

bell

1 Way Video Entry System

PD-097 Issue 4 Installation and Operating Manual Page 15 of 40

Fail Secure Exit: Notes

Commonly fail secure exit doors incorporate a thumb-turn, door handle or mini push bar

rather than use of an exit button. Fire officers usually require a minimum of door handle or

push bar to open a door on a fire exit route –not a thumb-turn.

Most fail secure locks are not continuously rated and if an electrical hold open system is

used for say busy times, then a continuously rated release must be used.

Powered bolt, shoot-bolt or other more secure door locking systems may require the use

of separate power supplies or a suppressor to be fitted. Shoot-bolt systems for instance

tend to require at least 1.5A peak current and this will require the use of an isolation relay

and a separate power supply for the lock.

Exit Button Input

The exit button is used to unlock the door for the preset lock operating time. The input is

designed only for use with a normally open push button. ‘Exit +’ is the input and ‘Exit –’ is

internally connected to 0V.

The ‘Exit +’ input can also be used for connection to other equipment to open the door as

shown in Diagram K –bellissimo Combined System Connections.

Door Open Switch

The door open switch is used to provide an indication at the phone that the door has been

left open. This switch can have closed contacts when the door is closed or open contacts

when the door is closed, the choice being made in Panel Programming. The default of

‘contacts open when door closed’ must be selected when this feature is not required.

Time Clock Sharing

In a large system a single time clock can be shared between distributed equipment areas

by borrowing one of the ‘comm -’ wires in the interconnecting Cat5 to use as the shared

“Time clock common”. See the detailed diagram on page 34.

Commissioning

The major components of the bellissimo Video system are fitted with high quality

pluggable screw terminal blocks. This enables all the connections to the system to be fully

completed, whilst easily isolating individual pieces of equipment during testing and

commissioning.

When powering up for the first time, it is highly recommended that only the most basic

system be connected. i.e. 1 BS videophone, 1 door controller and panel, the remaining

equipment can be isolated by unplugging terminal blocks.

Proceed to test the system by calling the videophone from the door panel in the usual way.

Any problems can be resolved by rechecking wiring and connections, assisted by the

various suggestions and tests in the section “Troubleshooting”. Once the basic system is

fully functioning, continue to reconnect and test the remaining equipment item by item until

completed.
