BSX Isolated Audio Entry System
Introduction
The BSX2 Door Entry Telephone System is designed for low rise blocks of flats in both the
public and private housing sectors. It provides the means for visitors to call an individual
resident within the building and to establish two-way speech communication (full duplex)
with them. The resident is allowed full control over the callers’ access to the building
entrance by means of an electric lock or lock release.
The BSX2 control Unit provides Full Isolation between individual dwellings so that any
damage sustained to an individual telephone or its associated cable will not affect the
operation of the rest of the system. The isolation also ensures that conversations are
totally private.
The BSX2 is available in four models with a capacity of up to 16 phones and 2 entrances.
For larger systems please refer to the digibell digital door entry system.

Basic System Operation
Making a Call
The Entrance panel has a push button for each flat in the building, engraved with the
associated flat number. A caller pushes the required button and the phone will start to ring
in the flat; this ringing tone will also be heard at the panel. The ringing will continue for 30
Seconds* or until the phone handset is picked up.
Once the handset is picked up the resident can talk to the caller for up to 60S*. During this
time the resident can press the lock button to release the door. An electric lock release
will operate for a fixed duration of 3 Seconds* and speech will continue until the lock
release has ceased operating. Alternatively replacing the handset on hook will finish the
call.
Audible indication at the panel is provided both when the phone is ringing and when the
door release is active. The door release tone has adjustable volume, while the ringing
tone comes from the phone and is fixed.
Privacy
To ensure complete privacy of speech and freedom from interference from other residents,
the audio and lock functions of the phones are disabled until the phone has been called.
Ringer Mute
Some models of phone have additional features such as Ringer Mute which can be
activated during periods when the sound of the phone ringing would be a nuisance (e.g.
baby sleeping, youths pressing buttons). See specific Phone models for more details.
Door Monitoring
Door Status Indication (Door Monitoring) is available on some models; when the entrance
door is left open, an LED indicator illuminates on the phone. This function requires a door
monitor switch to be installed at the door or in the lock release.
Trades (Optional)
If independent access to the building is required for tradesmen (e.g. Postman) then an
optional Trades button can be fitted to the panel. When the Trades button is pressed the
lock release will activate for 3 Seconds*. All the BSX systems have a Time Clock (with
auto BST and battery backup) which can be used to restrict the operating hours of the
Trades facility.
Second Entrance
On a system with two entrances the caller will be unable to ring any of the flats whilst the
other entrance is already in use. The system will indicate busy by sounding an intermittent
tone for 3 Seconds.
Egress
An optional Egress button can be fitted to the inside of the door to enable resident to freely
exit the building. A momentary press of the button will operate the electric lock release for
3 Seconds*.
*Lock and Ring and Speech times are programmable at installation – see Page 14

Equipment & Design Considerations
Summary of Equipment Required
Entrance Panel
All Entrance panels are Vandal Resistant and made from 2.5mm marine grade (316)
stainless steel. Each panel is fitted with a high quality Speech Unit (model 61) and low
profile vandal resistant buttons. Panels are available up to 1 to16 buttons plus trades and
include custom engraving details. They are supplied with ‘tamper-proof’ security screws.
The standard VRP series are available both Flush and Surface mounted.
The LCP series panels have a flush mounted design and offer additional Vandal Resistant
features over the VRP series; the panel’s outer bezel is welded to a stainless steel back-
box whilst the inner removable panel has been ‘Laser Cut’ to ensure a minimal gap which
prevents the insertion of tools.
Control Equipment
All the control equipment for each system is supplied in a wall-mountable, lockable steel
cabinet. It includes all necessary control PCBs, a Power Supply with battery backup
capability and a Time-clock to control Tradesmen’s access. The cabinet should be
installed in a protected indoor environment.
Phones
Model 801 Phone
The 801 and 801S are the standard models. Ring volume is selectable to Low or High with
an internal jumper. The 801S ringer may also be muted in the event of nuisance calls;
PD-142 Issue 1 Installation and Operating Manual Page 7 of 32
BSX Isolated Audio Entry System
when the slide switch is in the mute position the ringer will not sound and the resident will
be unaware of calls until the switch is returned to the normal position.
Model BS LX Phone
The BS LX phone has both Door Status Indication and a sophisticated Ringer Mute facility.
Residents may mute the ringing of the BS LX by pushing the mute button on the phone; a
red LED illuminates as a reminder. Pushing the same button again will cancel the mute
function. Phones can be individually configured to automatically cancel the mute after a
pre-set time (2 min to 10 hrs.). While muted the phone will not audibly ring but the mute
LED will flash to indicate a call. Ring volume can be pre-set with an internal jumper (3
levels).
Door Status Indication is provided by the Lock button which will illuminate green whenever
the door is left open (a door monitor switch must be fitted).
Phone Options
All models of phone can be supplied with an inductive loop (IDL) to operate a hearing aid
with a ‘T’ switch.
Extension phones etc.
The BSX allows up to two phones to be connected to each output. An RT27 extension
sounder counts as one phone.
Extension sounders or strobes etc. that use their own power supplies, such as the SG1
multi-tone extension sounder or the FB31 strobe may be connected in addition to two
phones.
Electric Lock Releases
The BSX system supports either Fail-Secure or Fail-Safe lock releases or electric locks of
up to 1A rating at 12V DC.
Powered bolt, shoot-bolt or other more secure door locking systems may require the use
of separate power supplies. 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.
Fail-Safe Lock releases
Fail-Safe Lock Releases which include Magnetic Locks require power to lock the door and
will therefore fail open in the event of a power cut. An exit (egress) button should always
be fitted on the inside of the door; this should be a ‘normally open’ type.
Another issue to consider with magnetic locks (which cannot be mechanically overridden),
is the possibility of being locked out of the building, due to lost codes, fobs or equipment
failure. It is advisable to consider an alternate building entrance, or an externally
accessible, secure keyswitch, or other reliable method of overriding the system.
Fail Secure Lock Releases
Fail Secure Lock Releases require power to release the door lock and will therefore
remain locked in the event of a power failure. Fire regulations usually stipulate that the exit
door should incorporate a door-handle or push-bar and not an exit button or thumb-turn.
Most fail secure locks are not continuously rated however if an electrical ‘hold-open’
system is used (e.g. for busy periods) then a continuously rated release must be selected.

Exit (Egress) Button
An exit button is used to unlock the door for the pre-set lock operating time. The input on
the controller is designed only for use with a normally open push button.
DDA Panels
The BSX system can meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
Several options are available if required.
In the flat the availability of extension sounder and strobe accessories is the main
provision. Connection to other more specialist third party devices is also possible because
the ring signal is presented as an intermittent 12V output. Bell System will provide
technical information as required to those third parties, though this manual should be
sufficient.
At the door panel reassurance tones are standard, however DDA panels with visual
indication of Ringing, Speaking and Lock release via three LED’s are available on request.
Either high visibility halo buttons or illuminated tactile buttons are available for the call
buttons. The tactile buttons have raised illuminated numerals for the flat number; however
there is a limited range of numbers available. (Contact sales for further information).
Cable Requirements
Use 0.5mm solid-core twisted-pair phone cable (BT specification CW1308, Cat5 or
equivalent) for all phone and door panel connections; this is essential for correct operation
of the system and for compliance with European EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. Avoid
running any cables alongside mains or other data transmission wiring.
These restrictions are unlikely to be exceeded in most circumstances; if they present a problem please contact the
Manufacturer for further advice.

Power Supply Capability/Limitations
N.B. No extra equipment should be powered without first consulting the technical department.
Battery Backup
Space is provided in the cabinet to fit a standard 7AH battery to the power supply (both
Cab3 and Cab5 models) to provide battery backup in case of mains supply failure.
Backup time depends largely upon the idle power usage of the system which can vary
widely according to the following factors: - lock type, the number and type of phones, door
status indicator (on or off), the number of door panels and any additional equipment which
may be fitted.
The longest backup times are achievable with fail secure lock releases as these only take
current while unlocking the door; backup times exceeding 8 hours for a single door and 6
hours for a two door system are possible for moderate usage, reducing if system usage is
particularly high.
The use of fail safe lock releases will require individual calculation for back up time. For
instance, a 2 door system with 1A maglocks should not be expected to last much longer
than 2 hours.
Cab3 and Cab5 supplies do not support the use of batteries larger than 7AH.
