System Operation
General
The entrance panel, which includes the camera and speech unit, should be located on
a wall adjacent to the building entrance. A visitor can contact any resident by pressing
the appropriate button on the entrance panel which will call the resident's video
telephone (sounds a buzzer), activating the display and enabling speech. The resident
can view the caller on the video screen and by picking up the handset freely converse
with the visitor. The telephone will remain active for a fixed period (adjustable 30-120
seconds).
If the resident wishes the caller to gain access to the building, the DOOR button can be
pushed while the video telephone is still active; this will operate an electric lock release
on the entrance door for a short period (adjustable, typically 5 seconds).
Privacy mode (buzzer mute)
To avoid disturbance from nuisance calls the resident may push the PRIVATE button
on the video telephone. This will mute the buzzer for a fixed period (adjustable between
1 minute and 10 hours) and illuminate a red indicator lamp. Pushing the button again
will re-enable the buzzer and extinguish the lamp.
Multi-door operation
When a call is made from an entrance panel it will automatically switch operation to
that door. The camera and speech unit of the active panel will remain live for a fixed
period (adjustable 30-120 seconds) during which time the other entrances are locked
out. An optional engaged lamp may be fitted at each entrance as an indication that
another door is in use.
The resident may change the view between doors by pressing the CAMERA button.
Monitor Mode
On a single way system a resident may view the entrance at any time by pressing the
telephone VIEW button (This feature may be disabled if required).
Privacy
The bellview system offers full privacy of speech, that is, only the resident who has
been called may listen and speak with the caller. On multi-way systems the CAMERA
and VIEW buttons can be made private to prevent other residents monitoring visitors.
To enhance system security and reliability a lock privacy function is provided, which
ensures only the resident who has been called can unlock an entrance.

Multiple video telephones in one flat
When several video telephones are installed in a single flat, it is usually necessary to
disable the auto-display feature on all telephones (see page 13), to prevent the power
supply and cable voltage drops being exceeded. In this case the resident must press
the VIEW button in order to view the caller.
Multi-way systems
The VIEW function is provided primarily for single-way systems. On multi-way systems,
it is highly advisable to set the video telephone to ‘Video Privacy’ (see page 13) to
prevent other residents from monitoring visitors and to ensure that the maximum no. of
active monitors is not exceeded.
Should the VIEW function be required please contact the distributor or manufacturer for
further guidance

Electric Door Release
Fail-Secure releases are the most commonly used devices, they require power to
release the lock and will secure the door upon power failure. Fail-Safe lock releases
and magnetic locks require continuous power to hold the lock and will release the door
upon power failure. All of these types can be accommodated providing they are rated
at 12V DC with a maximum current consumption of 0.5A. For lock releases that have
different requirements contact your distributor for further guidance.
Trades Button (optional)
The entrance panels may be ordered with an optional Trades button to allow free
access during certain hours (used in conjunction with a time clock). Momentarily
pressing the button will operate the lock release for a fixed period (adjustable, typically
5 seconds).
Exit Button (optional)
Typically this facility is used to allow personnel to freely exit through the controlled
entrance. Momentarily operating the push-button will directly operate the lock release
for a fixed period (adjustable, typically 5 seconds).
Fire Switch (optional)
The fire switch is usually a key or lever switch which can be operated by the fire-brigade
to gain access to the building. To use this feature the Lock release(s) must be
continuously rated.
Door Monitor Switch (optional)
Each Telephone has a green LED indicator above the DOOR button to show when the
door is open. This is detected by the closure of a door monitor switch. The switch
should be rated at 1A ( for up to 60 phones). Lock Releases are available with an
integral Door Monitoring switch.

Important Safety Information
Connections to the 240V AC mains supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician
or similar competent person, and made in accordance with accepted safety practices.
A two-pole switch (as provided by a Consumer Unit or Switch-Fuse) must be included
to isolate both Live and Neutral during Installation or Maintenance. The circuit must be
protected by a fuse or other current-limiting device, rated according to the capacity of
the cable used, up to a maximum of 10A. Use only mains cable to BS6004 or
equivalent, within the following specified limits:
The power supply is fitted with an internal mains fuse, and a battery fuse; always
replace with the correct type and rating. The fuse must be of the 20mm glass type,
approved to BS EN 60127 or equivalent:
Power Supply ModelMains Fuse (time delay)Battery Fuse (Quick Blow)
All equipment except the entrance panel must be placed in a protected indoor
environment.
Lead-Acid Battery (when supplied)
The Lead-Acid Battery for the Standby Power Supply is shipped in separate packaging.
Care must be taken to ensure that the terminals of the battery are not shorted together
by metal objects as this may constitute a Fire Hazard. The Control Cabinet is IP55
rated (to exclude dust) and is vented to avoid the build-up of gases. Do not block any
vents which may be apparent.
Video Telephone
The display module of the video telephone has a high voltage circuit (2KV) which
represents a shock hazard. When the top cover of the telephone is removed,
precautions must be taken to avoid contact with this module.

General
Select the appropriate wiring diagram from one of the following sections, and install in
accordance with the instructions given:
SystemSection
1 way single doorCW1
2-10 way single doorCW2
11-60 way single doorCW3
1-10 way 2 doorCW4
11-60 way 2 doorCW5
Initially connect all the equipment to one telephone only. With the power applied, test
the system is fully operational. Only if everything is functioning correctly should you
continue to connect further telephones. Connect one telephone at a time testing after
each is connected.
Model 440 and 540 Power Supplies
Read the section called ‘Important Safety Information’ before installing the power
supply.
These power supplies must be wall-mounted onto plasterboard, wood or a similar nonconductive material, in a protected indoor environment such as an electrical cupboard.
When fitting the power supply cable (both mains and low voltage) ensure the cable
entry cut-outs in the enclosure lid are no larger than necessary for the cable diameter
used and under no circumstances must they be taken beyond the outer cut-out zones.
10
Bell View Video Entry System
PSU138A, PSU138B Power Supplies
Read the section called ‘Important Safety Information’ before installing the power
supply.
A good mains safety earth must be connected to the cabinet housing the power supply.
The cabinet must be placed in a protected indoor environment and not exposed to
dripping or splashing. The Cabinet must be secured to the wall with adequate fixings
so that there is no possibility of it falling down.
The Lead Acid battery should only be connected once the system has been fully tested.
Connection is made by 2 leads with spade terminals from the power supply. Observe
the correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
The PSU Control Cabinet contains a small PCB labelled ‘Power Supply Distributor’ .
This is used to supply 12V to external components. Do not cut or modify the power
supply leads as supplied.
Entrance Panel
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 - a wall or other buildings would
be preferable. If a back-lit situation is unavoidable, additional lighting may be necessary
to illuminate the caller and avoid a dark outline image.
The panel should be mounted at an optimum height of 1.6 m, measured between the
ground and camera window.
Electric Door Release
Use the FAIL-SECR connections for fail-secure releases; use the FAIL-SAFE
connections for fail-safe releases and magnetic locks. When installing lock releases
please allow a little movement on the door as operation will be impaired if fitted too
tight.
