bellissimo 2-72 Way Video Entry System
PD-098 Issue 3C Installation and Operating Manual Page 7 of 40
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 made from an entrance panel only the videophone(s) which is/are
ringing may answer the call. Once answered, if another videophones handset is picked
up, or the view button is pressed, the videophone will not activate (including extensions of
the active videophone).
User Activation (CCTV Mode)
User activation is a feature of the bellissimo 1 way system and is not available on multi-
way systems. User activation is generally not recommended on larger systems as the
conflicting demands of residents and callers can result in confusion and erroneous fault
reports.
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 35 for details.
Extension Videophones
Additional videophones may be added to each ‘flat’. The number of extensions is limited
only by power supply considerations. All videophones for that ‘flat’ 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 programmed between 1 and 99 seconds. (See
‘Lock Operating time’ and ‘Lock Type’ on page 18.
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).
