BXZW Wireless Outdoor Bell Box Users Manual

 

BX-32ZW Outdoor Bellbox Introduction BX-32ZW is a Z-Wave Outdoor Bellbox. It is capable of raising alarm upon receiving alarm signal from the Z-Wave network when an alarm is activated. During the alarm, the Bellbox will sound alarm with its built-in siren and also flash the strobe light to attract attention. The Bellbox is a Z-Wave enabled device and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave enabled network. Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol that uses a low-power RF radio. By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be transmitted to their destination via intermediary listening Z-Wave products. Parts Identification 1. Tamper Switch The Tamper switch will be activated when the Bellbox is removed from mounted surface, or it cover opened. 2. Battery Compartment The Bellbox is powered by two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline battery. 3. Battery Switch The battery switch is used when battery is installed in the Outdoor Bellbox. To power on/off the Outdoor Bellbox, switch the ON/OFF button. 4. Mounting Holes x 3 5. Function Button

Arm/Home/Disarm LED and siren beep behaviour are the same under fault conditions

(Tamper Fault/Low Battery).

AAllaarrmm AAccttiivvaattiioonn When an alarm is activated, the Bellbox will activate its siren and strobe light according to different alarm type:

Burglar and Emergency alarm: Continuous alarm, all LED flashes.

Fire alarm: 2-second alarm with1-second interval, all LED flashes.

AAllaarrmm LLeennggtthh SSeettttiinngg When the Bellbox receives an alarm signal via Z-Wave network, it will activate siren and strobe light according to the alarm length set by the system control panel (default is 10 minutes).

BBaatttteerryy aanndd LLooww BBaatttteerryy DDeetteeccttiioonn The Bellbox uses two 1.5V alkaline D-cell batteries as its power source. With the battery, use the battery switch to power on/off the Bellbox manually. The Bellbox features Low Battery Detection function. When the battery voltage is low, the Bellbox will transmit Low Battery signal to the coordinator in Z-Wave network. The Bellbox will report its battery percentage to the Control Panel respectively at 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10%. If the battery voltage is low (10%), a Low Battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel to notify the user. When changing battery, after removing the old battery, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully discharge before inserting new battery.

TTaammppeerr PPrrootteeccttiioonn The Bellbox is protected by a tamper switch which is compressed against the mounting surface when mounted. Whenever the Bellbox is removed from mounted location, or its cover opened, the tamper switch will be activated and the Bellbox will send a tamper open signal to remind the user of the condition and activate an alarm immediately.

AAddddiinngg DDeevviiccee ((IInncclluussiioonn)) This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufactures and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

Insert the two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline batteries into the battery compartment connecting the correct polarity as shown on the battery compartment lid.

The Bellbox will emit a 2-tone beep.

Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion or Learning mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).

Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times.

Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave gateway or control panel to complete the learn-in process.

If the sensor has already been included (learnt) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be learnt into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel, please exclude it first (see Exclusion) before attempting to include it into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel. 2

RReemmoovviinngg DDeevviiccee ((EExxcclluussiioonn)) The Bellbox must be removed from existing Z-Wave network before being included into another. There are two methods available to exclude a device. Exclusion Mode

Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).

Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times and the Bellbox will be removed from the Z-Wave network. Factory Reset

(Only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable).

Press and hold the Function button of the Smoke Detector for 10 seconds to factory reset with all LED flashes once.

<<NNOOTTEE>>

Factory resetting the Bellbox will restore it to factory default settings (excluded from the Z-Wave network). The Z-Wave gateway or control panel will still keep its Z-Wave settings. Please refer to the gateway or control panel manual on how to remove the Bellboxs Z-Wave settings.

RRaannggee TTeesstt To test whether the device is able to communicate with the Z-Wave gateway or control panel:

Put the gateway / panel into range test mode (Walk Test).

Press the Function Button on the device.

The gateway / panel should display if the device is within the operation range (please refer to the operation manual of the gateway / panel).

Z-Wave Sleep Mode

The Bellbox will enter Z-Wave Sleep mode (to conserve power) after waking up for a short period of time (~10 seconds). While in Z-Wave sleep mode, Z-Wave gateways or control panels are unable to send commands to the Bellbox.

To program the Bellbox, please send command(s) to the Bellbox within the wake-up period. Installation

IInnssttaallllaattiioonn GGuuiiddeelliinnee

The Bellbox is designed with a waterproof case to be mounted on external wall of your house.

When mounting the Bellbox, mount as high as possible for its siren and strobe light to attract attention when an alarm is activated.
