Bell box

The bell box with a maximum siren output of 104 dB will be activated during an alarm. The bell box
works wirelessly and is powered by factory installed batteries. There is no need for a connection to
a power supply and the installation is extremely easy.

Please note! In some municipalities it is not allowed to sound a siren outside. Please check with
your local authorities. Set DIP switch number 5 to "OFF" to deactivate the siren.

STEP 1: CHECK CONTENTS

Check the contents of the packaging for the following parts:

1. Bell box (batteries are factory installed in the bell box)

2. Bag containing screws and plugs

STEP 2: ADD TO ALARM SYSTEM

You are now about to register the bell box with your Egardia alarm system.

1. Ensure at your gateway that the alarm is turned off. The top indicator light (Status) and the
bottom indicator light (Online) are lit green.

2. Place the bell box on a flat surface. Remove the safety screw at the bottom of the bell box and
remove the cover.

3. Press the "Reset" button at the side of the gateway for at least 5 seconds. The top indicator
light (Status) of your gateway flashes green to indicate it is searching for new accessories.

the bell box will glow and a beep will sound.

5. Set DIP switch number 1 to "ON". LED 1 and LED 3 glow shortly and a short beep sounds.
After 3 seconds all LED indicators of the bell box flash once. The gateway beeps once to
indicate the bell box is successfully registered. To confirm LED 1 and LED 3 of the bell box will
flash once and a short beep sounds. The gateway beeps twice to indicate the bell box has
already been successfully registered.

6. Set DIP switch number 1 to "OFF". LED 2 of the bell box flashes once and a beep sounds to
confirm the bell box has now returned to normal operation.

7. Press again the "Reset" button at the side of the gateway for at least 5 seconds if no more
accessories are being added. The gateway returns to normal operation.
