bellissimo 1 Way Video Entry System

Introduction

Description

A bellissimo video door entry system consists of a door panel, positioned at the entrance
of a building, video telephones (videophone), placed inside of the building for the
convenience of the occupants and a power supply and controller which are usually located
inside an electrical cupboard. The door panel comprises of a two-way speech unit, a
camera and a push button – which must be depressed by a visitor to initiate a call. The
videophone, which rings in response, allows a two-way conversation via a handset whilst
the caller can be observed through the integral display. The operator can selectively allow
visitors access to the building by pressing a button on the videophone and so electrically
releasing the door.

The bellissimo 1-way Video Door Entry System is suitable for any building requiring a
single push button at the entrance, such as houses, individual flats and offices. For multi­way systems please refer to either the “bellissimo 2-72-way Video Entry System” or
“bellissimo Digital Video Entry System” manuals.

The bellissimo “1-way” system is supplied with a dedicated door controller, which has been
specifically optimised for “1-way” systems, ensuring simple installation. This basic system
can support up to 3 extension videophones (more with additional power supplies). Multiple
entrances can be supported with the addition of one panel and one door controller for each
entrance.

Basic System Operation

Call sequence

When the call button is pressed at the entrance panel it causes the videophone to ring and
the amber view lamp to flash. The videophone will continue to ring for up to 30 seconds
or until the resident responds by picking up the handset. At this time the resident can
freely converse with the visitor whose image is now displayed on the videophone; at the
same time the green lock lamp will flash to highlight the lock button.

The call may be terminated by replacing the handset or more usually by pressing the lock
button 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.

Videophone Controls

The diagram in the introduction shows the standard colour monitor and its controls. The
default setting is ringer volume maximum (slide finger to left) and contrast midway. The
slider on the right hand side alters the screen viewing angle.

Auto Display

When ‘Auto Display’ mode is selected the picture will come on while the videophone is
ringing, otherwise the picture will only come on when the call is answered. Auto Display
mode is usually pre-selected at installation and generally only one videophone should be
set in this mode (see ‘Extension Videophones’ below).

Call Mute

The resident can mute the ringing sound in the videophone when they do not wish to be
disturbed. Call mute is activated by pressing the mute button on the videophone, which
then illuminates in red as a reminder. The handset must be on the hook for this to work.
Pressing the mute button a second time will disengage the mute function. During
installation it is possible to set a time limit for the mute function in various values from 2
minutes up to 10 hours or indefinitely. When this time period has elapsed the mute
function will automatically disengage. (See ‘mute timer’, page 19).

The mute feature can be set during installation to one of two modes (or disabled
altogether): -

Ringer Mute only stops the audible ring, but the amber view light will still flash and all
other functions work normally. Ringer mute will continue for the preset time even if a
call is answered. Pressing the mute button again while the videophone is idle will
cancel the mute function.

Full Mute prevents the videophone both from ringing or flashing the amber view lamp.
Pressing the mute button again or lifting the handset will cancel the full mute function.

Silent viewing

When the videophone is ringing the resident can press the view button to answer the call
instead of lifting up the handset; this will stop the videophone ringing and enable them to
view the visitor for up to 60 seconds or until the lock button is pressed to release the door.
Silent viewing can be ‘normalised’ at any time by picking up the handset and conversing
with the visitor as described above.

PD-097 Issue 3B Installation and Operating Manual Page 5 of 36

bellissimo 1 Way Video Entry System

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 answered by one videophone no other videophones may join in,
view or listen to the call. If another videophones handset is picked up, or the view button
is pressed, the videophone will not activate.

User Activation (CCTV Mode)

While the system is idle, pressing the view button will activate the system and display the
picture at the entrance panel. Once activated, lifting the handset will enable speech at the
entrance and the lock button may now be used to release the door or the user can hang­up. The picture will switch off after the preset talk-time.

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 31 for details.

Extension Videophones

Additional videophones may be added to the basic system. The number of extensions is
limited only by power supply considerations. All videophones 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 16.

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).

DDA Functionality

The bellissimo video system has a range of options for entrance panels to help meet the
requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), including Illuminated Tactile
buttons, reassurance tones and LED indicators for “Speak Now” and “Door Open”.
Contact your sales representative for further details.

Reassurance tone setting is on page 18.

Multiple Entrances

The bellissimo system allows multiple entrances to be catered for by the addition of a door
controller and entrance panel for each entrance and additional power supplies.

In a multiple entrance system an optional feature allows the resident to view the cameras
at all the entrances with successive presses of the view button.

For details of this camera feature and user activation see the setting for ‘Camera
Numbering’ on page17.

Design Considerations

Equipment List

A BS1 one-way bellissimo Video Kit comprises the following: -

Model No Description

1 x BS Colour Videophone
1 x BSP1 Standard panel with a model 61 speech unit and camera.
1 x BSD1 Door controller.
1 x PS4 4A 12V power supply.
1 x 203 Fail-secure lock release

For a Vandal Resistant Panel order a BS1/VR Kit.

Options

The following options are available: -

● Extensions model BS videophone(s).

● Audio only phones model BSA as extensions.

● Additional entrances, each comprising a BSD1 controller and BSP1 panel.

(See also power supply requirements).

● Alternate lock releases, fail-safe and fail-secure.

● Timed Trades facility; specify TRBS to add another button and a TS2000-BST time-

clock. On vandal resistant panels the extra button will be engraved “TRADES”

● Exit button. Model 5077 surface and model 5078 flush versions are available.

● Battery back up power supply, Model 840 (12V 4A).

● DDA panels (Contact sales for further information).

Entrance Panel – Important Note

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. If a backlit situation is unavoidable,
additional lighting may be necessary to illuminate the caller and avoid a dark outline image
(silhouette). A light coloured or reflective surface around the panel will redirect backlight to
illuminate the caller.

Door Controller

The door controller and power supply should be wall-mounted in a convenient cupboard or
other protected environment with available mains power. Cable length to the entrance
should be less than 50m. The door controller for the second and subsequent entrances
may be situated in the same location, or to meet the 50m requirement may be situated in
another location. Power supplies may be shared between door controllers placed in the
same location, but controllers in separate locations must be separately powered.

PD-097 Issue 3B Installation and Operating Manual Page 8 of 36

bellissimo 1 Way Video Entry System

Separately Powered Videophones

The limitation of up to 4 videophones ringing but only one displaying, as indicated in the
power supply and cable distance tables on page 11, can be overcome by the use of
supplementary power from a 340C.

Power Supply Requirements

The system is powered by 12V power supplies only: ­Model PS4 12V, 4A.
Model 840 12V, 4A battery backup supply.
Model 340C 12V, 1.5A optional for extensions.
Note 1. The 28V referred to on the videophone, video controller and wiring diagrams is

internally generated in the controller. DO NOT use any power supply other than 12V or
damage may occur.

Note 2. The PS4 power supply has been specifically designed to operate with the high­surge requirements of the system. Bell System is unable to guarantee functionality or
provide support for systems which use third party power supplies.

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 controllers and power supplies for a given
number of entrance doors and extensions.

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.

Cat5 Cable Specification

Cat5 is our short reference for EIA standard UTP Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair data
cable. This is a standard solid core twisted pair cable having 4 pairs (8–cores) and no
shield. The cores are in pairs where Blue and ‘Blue with a White stripe’ are twisted
together as the first pair. The other three pairs are similar with main colours Orange,
Green and Brown.

 Also available and acceptable are:

UTP Category 5e (Cat5e)
UTP Category 6 (CAT6)
UTP Category 6e (CAT6e)

The exact cable can be chosen from the above on cost and availability grounds.

 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables are not recommended.
 UTP “patch cables” are not recommended.

NOTE: Cat5 cable is easily identifiable as the specification is printed on the sheath
Patch cable is used for the desk phone to wall connection as this requires a flexible cable.

The reason for not using it for general wiring is that attenuation is higher and video
distances would be reduced by at least ½, it also costs 2 to 3 times as much as standard
Cat5.

Spurs. A daisy chain run with one or more spurs of up to 3 metres is allowed. For
example a desk phone connection.

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 35.

● Ensure that ‘Design Considerations’ on page 8 have been understood.

● Confirm that Cat5 cable has been specified.

● Install the system according to instructions in this section.

● Check/set the door controller jumper and switch settings.

● Check/set each videophone dipswitch settings.

Wiring

Refer to the diagrams from page 25 onwards as appropriate for the equipment you have.
All wiring is carried out using a mixture of Cat5 for the signal wiring and 1mm² (or greater)

cores for the power wiring; refer to Page 10 for further details. It is strongly recommended
that a consistent colour code be used throughout such as that indicated on the connection
diagram. Certain signals must be interconnected using a twisted pair from the Cat5 cable.
These are clearly marked on the connection diagram and should be strictly observed.

Entrance Panel

The panel should be mounted at an optimum height of 1.6 m, measured between the
ground and the centre of the camera window. With flush mounting panels it is advisable to
apply mastic to the top and side edges of the panel to prevent water ingress behind the
panel, but not to the bottom edge. On construction sites the panel must be protected from
corrosive substances such as ‘brick acid’. The panel should be cleaned only with a damp
cloth containing dilute detergent.

Videophone

The videophone is designed to be wall mounted onto
plasterboard or other masonry at an optimum height of 1.6m.
It should be fixed with three No 8 screws (not supplied). Use
the dimensions shown on the adjacent diagram. If the cable
is to be feed from the wall cavity then make a hole for this at
the same time. Fit the top two screws but do not fully tighten.
Now remove the top cover of the videophone, which is
secured by clips at both sides. If top or bottom cable entries
are required, careful remove the appropriate cutout with side
snips taking care not to damage any internal components.
Hang the videophone on the two screws already fitted
allowing the cable (if present) to feed through and the third
screw to be inserted at the bottom. Tighten all three screws. Before replacing the Front
Cover remove the protective film from the display lens and also check that the DipSwitch
settings are correct or change as necessary (see Page 19).

bellissimo 1 Way Video Entry System

Audio Phones

The BSA audio phone can be used as a lower cost alternative to an extension videophone.
It is styled like the bellissimo videophone. The phone is manufactured in white and grey
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 rotary preset volume.

BSA Phone

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.

Fail Safe Exit: Notes

Fail safe exits require an exit button and this should be normally open so that the controller
can be used to give a timed exit. If the exit button has both normally open and normally
closed contacts, then the normally closed contact can be wired in series with the release
or maglock along with the break glass in case of equipment failure.

A not uncommon problem with maglocks, because they cannot be mechanically
overridden, is being locked out of the building due to lost codes, fobs or equipment failure.
So consider an alternate building entrance, or an externally accessible secure keyswitch,
or a reliable method of disabling the system during overnight secure lockup.

Fail Secure Exit: Notes

Commonly fail secure exit doors incorporate a thumb-turn, door handle or mini push bar
rather than use of an exit button. Fire officers usually require a minimum of door handle or
push bar to open a door on a fire exit route – not a thumb-turn.

Most fail secure locks are not continuously rated and if an electrical hold open system is
used for say busy times, then a continuously rated release must be used.

Powered bolt, shoot-bolt or other more secure door locking systems may require the use
of separate power supplies or a suppressor to be fitted. Shoot-bolt systems for instance

PD-097 Issue 3B Installation and Operating Manual Page 13 of 36

bellissimo 1 Way Video Entry System

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.

Exit Button Input

The exit button is used to unlock the door for the preset lock operating time. The input is
designed only for use with a normally open push button. ‘Exit +’ is the input and ‘Exit –’ is
internally connected to 0V.

The ‘Exit +’ input can also be used for connection to other equipment to open the door as
shown in Diagram I – bellissimo Combined System Connections.

Door Open Switch

The door open switch is used to provide an indication at the phone that the door has been
left open. This switch can have closed contacts when the door is closed or open contacts
when the door is closed, the choice being made in Panel Programming. The default of
‘contacts open when door closed’ must be selected when this feature is not required.

Time Clock Sharing

In a large system a single time clock can be shared between distributed equipment areas
by borrowing one of the ‘comm -’ wires in the interconnecting Cat5 to use as the shared
“Time clock common”. See the detailed diagram on page 31.

Commissioning

The major components of the bellissimo Video 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. 1 BS videophone, 1 door controller and panel, the remaining
equipment can be isolated by unplugging terminal blocks.

Proceed to test the system by calling the videophone from the door panel in the usual way.
Any problems can be resolved by rechecking wiring and connections, assisted by the
various suggestions and tests in the section “Troubleshooting”. Once the basic system is
fully functioning, continue to reconnect and test the remaining equipment item by item until
completed.

the first camera to be viewed. On Version 1 BSD1’s DIP SW3 (1-4) must also be all “ON”
at that door.

‘Global View’ at Multiple Entrances

If ‘Global View’ is enabled, successive presses of the view button will enable all entrance
to be viewed in turn, including any second cameras, if enabled.

Setting up the door controllers to enable ‘Global View’ requires careful setting of the
switches. Not all entrances have to participate in ‘Global View’, and these entrances
should remain set to ‘Local View’.

For the participating entrances number the cameras 1, 2, 3, …etc. It is recommended that
the entrance selected for CCTV is also numbered as camera 1

NB. The sequence must start with 1; the maximum is 16. If an entrance has 2 cameras
then it will have 2 consecutive addresses.

Each controller must also record the last camera number in the sequence – this will be the
same setting for all participating entrances.

BSD1 Door Controller Jumper Settings

Camera Terminator

There is a separate jumper for both video Camera inputs. This has three settings, 75R for
terminating coaxial cable, 100R for terminating twisted pair Cat5 cable and None for use
when passing the cable on to another device or controller.

Video Gain Control

The “Video Gain” jumper on door controllers should always be set to “0” unless directed by
‘Bell System Technical Support’. This jumper is only required on some systems with very
long camera to videophone cable runs well in excess of 150m. Inappropriate use of this
jumper with short runs will cause picture problems.

Reassurance tones

DDA reassurance tones are activated by placing a jumper between pins 1 & 2 of the
“Prog” 5 pin header on the BSD1controller PCB (see diagram on page 26), the jumper is
stored between pins 4 & 5. Once activated the speaker in the door panel will ring with the
videophone and buzz when the lock is opened from the videophone.

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”.
Shorts or opens due to cables having been stapled or nailed through.
A common fault is wiring a connector left to right instead of right to left, or one or more

twisted pairs the wrong way round.

Tip. The heads of screws on connectors are not a reliable means of making a connection
with a meter, try pushing the probe into the wire entry point.

Quick Fault Reference

These tables provide a quick indication of the possible fault.

Power Problems

Videophone resetting
(The three indicators lights
show the power on sequence).

Safety Information and Declarations

Connections to the 240VAC mains supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician or
similar competent person, and made in accordance with current legislative requirements.
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:

Min Max

Conductor Diameter
Cable Diameter 4.0mm 8.0mm

Model 840 Power Supply (with battery standby)

The Model 840 power supply must be placed in a protected indoor environment such as
an electrical cupboard. It must be secured to the wall with adequate fixings so that there is
no possibility of it falling. The Lead-Acid Battery for the Standby Power Supply is shipped
in separate packaging. It should only be connected once the system has been fully tested.
Connection is made by 2 leads with spade terminals; observe the correct polarity - red to
positive, black to negative. 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 that may be apparent.

1.0mm (0.8mm2) 2.25mm (4mm2)

A good mains safety earth must be connected to the cabinet housing the power supply
Where the power supply is fitted with a replaceable internal mains fuse and or battery fuse,

always replace with the same type as indicated on the power supply. The fuse must be
approved to BS EN 60127 or equivalent.

Power Supply Model Mains Fuse (Time Delay) Battery Fuse (Quick Blow)

840 T2A 20mm HBC (HRC) Ceramic F4A 20mm Glass

Model PS4 and 340C Power Supplies

These power supplies must be wall-mounted onto plasterboard, 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.
