BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System The call may be terminated by touching the pickup symbol again or more usually by touching the lock symbol 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.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System 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.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Design Considerations Equipment List A bellfree digital video system comprises the following: Model No N x BF 1 x BFP-DIG/LCP -OR1 x BFP-DIG/VR(S) 1 x BFD-DIG M x BSC4 K x PS4 1 x 203 Description Colour Apartment station (N is the no of phones) Laser Cut panel with a BF-AMP speech unit, camera, VR buttons and LED display. Flush fitting only. Vandal resistant panel with a BF-AMP speech unit, camera, VR buttons and LED display. Flush or surface mounting.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Video Controller The video controller(s) and power supply(ies) should be wall-mounted in a convenient cupboard or other protected environment with available mains power. Cable length to the apartment station should be less than 150m, see „Cable Distances‟ page 13. In many cases the video controllers will be in the same location as the door controller(s), but they may be distributed as required to reduce wiring distances.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System 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 minimum number of controllers and power supplies for a given number of entrance doors and flats.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System 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.

BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System 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 47. ● 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 settings.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Apartment Station The apartment station is designed to be surface or flush wall mounted onto plasterboard or other masonry at an optimum screen height of 1.6m. DDA considerations may reduce this height to 1.4m. Dimensions are shown in the diagrams below.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System BSA Audio Phone The BSA audio phone can be used as a lower cost alternative to an extension apartment station. It is styled like the bellissimo videophone. The phone is manufactured in 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 an internal rotary pre-set volume control.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System 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.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Commissioning The major components of the bellfree Digital 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.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System BFD-DIG Door Controller Settings The BFD-DIG is programmed from the panel for all settings. Security It is strongly recommended that the Panel Security Code (PSEC) be changed from its factory setting to prevent unauthorised access. Record the new number carefully as it cannot be easily changed if lost. It is also recommended that the Phone Programming Code (PPRG), Coded Access Code (ACOD) and Trades Access Code (TCOD) are all changed from default even if not used.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System ACOD – Primary Access Code Main code to open the door. Applies whenever the display indicates [Code]. The Trades mode (TRAD) needs to be set to „Code‟ or „Trade‟ as per the table below. The code must be 4 digits and no letters, leading 0 is OK (e.g. [0246]). TCOD – Secondary Access Code or Tradesmen’s Code Secondary „tradesmen‟s‟ code to open the door. Valid only when the display indicates [Code] and the time clock selects the Trade option as per the table below.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System PSEC – Panel Security Key The security key is required to gain access to panel programming. The code is entered then pressing the call button, the default is [3434] and it is recommended that this be changed for security. This code can contain letters and numbers for added security. PPRG – Phone Programming Security Key The phone programming security key is required to gain access to flat number programming of telephones.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System TONE – Re-assurance Tone To conform to DDA requirements the controller can provide a re-assurance tone at the door when an apartment station is being called and also when the door lock has been operated. The volume is adjustable from 0 using the volume control on the BFD-DIG controller PCB (see the diagram on page 34). In addition there is a choice of which tone is sounded. Four settings are available: [Both] = Ringing and lock tones. [Call] = Ringing tone only.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System BSC4 Video Controller Settings Jumper settings The “Video Gain” jumper on video controllers should always be set to “0” unless directed by Bell System Technical. This jumper is only required on some systems with very long camera to apartment station cable runs well in excess of 150m. Inappropriate use of this jumper with short runs will cause picture problems.
BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Odd/Even Addressing Jumper PROG pins 1-2 This jumper alters the addressing of Phone outputs 2, 3 and 4 such that they all become either odd or even numbers. So if the address of output Phone 1 is 12 say the other outputs become 14, 16 and 18. If the address were 31 then the other outputs are 33, 35 and 37. The use of this jumper precludes the use of extended addressing by PROG pins 2-3, if both are required contact Bell System Technical.

BF Apartment Station Digital Entry System Troubleshooting Common Faults A very high percentage of calls to our technical support number, regarding new installations, are resolved to faulty wiring. The reasons for these are various: Broken cores, especially short links, sometimes broken inside the insulation! Connectors clamped onto the insulation instead of copper. Wire in the wrong side of a rising clamp connection, the clamps need to be unscrewed far enough to stop the wire going “underneath”.
