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.

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.
