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.

        <NOTE>
          ) Arm/Home/Disarm LED and siren beep behaviour are the same under fault conditions
              (Tamper Fault/Low Battery).
z Alarm Activation
        When an alarm is activated, the Bellbox will activate its siren and strobe light according to different
        alarm type:
        z Burglar and Emergency alarm: Continuous alarm, all LED flashes.
        z Fire alarm: 2-second alarm with1-second interval, all LED flashes.
z Alarm Length Setting
        When the Bellbox receives an alarm signal via Z-Wave network, it will activate siren and strobe
        light according to the alarm length set by the system control panel (default is 10 minutes).
z Battery and Low Battery Detection
       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.
z Tamper Protection
        The Bellbox is protected by a tamper switch which is compressed against the mounting surface
        when mounted. Whenever the Bellbox is removed from mounted location, or its cover opened, the
        tamper switch will be activated and the Bellbox will send a tamper open signal to remind the user of
        the condition and activate an alarm immediately.
z Adding Device (Inclusion)
       This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified
       devices from other manufactures and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within
       the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
         z Insert the two 1.5V D-Cell alkaline batteries into the battery compartment connecting the
            correct polarity as shown on the battery compartment lid.
         z The Bellbox will emit a 2-tone beep.
         z Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion or Learning mode (please refer
            to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).
         z Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times.
         z Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave gateway or control panel to complete the
            learn-in process.
         z If the sensor has already been included (learnt) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control
            Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be learnt into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control
            Panel, please exclude it first (see Exclusion) before attempting to include it into the
            current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.




                                                       2


z Removing Device (Exclusion)
    The Bellbox must be removed from existing Z-Wave network before being included into another.
    There are two methods available to exclude a device.
    Exclusion Mode
     z Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the
        Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).
     z Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times and the Bellbox will be removed
        from the Z-Wave network.
    Factory Reset
    (Only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable).
     z Press and hold the Function button of the Smoke Detector for 10 seconds to factory reset
        with all LED flashes once.
    <NOTE>
      ) Factory resetting the Bellbox will restore it to factory default settings (excluded from the
          Z-Wave network). The Z-Wave gateway or control panel will still keep its Z-Wave settings.
          Please refer to the gateway or control panel manual on how to remove the Bellbox’s
          Z-Wave settings.
z Range Test
    To test whether the device is able to communicate with the Z-Wave gateway or control panel:
     z Put the gateway / panel into range test mode (Walk Test).
     z Press the Function Button on the device.
     z The gateway / panel should display if the device is within the operation range (please refer
         to the operation manual of the gateway / panel).
z   Z-Wave Sleep Mode
     z The Bellbox will enter Z-Wave Sleep mode (to conserve power) after waking up for a short
       period of time (~10 seconds). While in Z-Wave sleep mode, Z-Wave gateways or control
       panels are unable to send commands to the Bellbox.
     z To program the Bellbox, please send command(s) to the Bellbox within the wake-up
       period.


Installation
z Installation Guideline
    z The Bellbox is designed with a waterproof case to be mounted on
      external wall of your house.
    z When mounting the Bellbox, mount as high as possible for its siren
      and strobe light to attract attention when an alarm is activated.
    z The Bellbox is designed to be mounted on a flat surface with fixing
      screws and plugs provided.
    z The base has 3 mounting holes for you to screw the Bellbox onto
      the wall.
z Mounting the Bellbox
    1. Find the location where the Bellbox is to be mounted.
    2. Remove the Top cover by releasing the bottom screw using a
       Philips screwdriver and pulling the outer case out carefully.
    3. Hold the Bellbox at the position where it will be mounted.
    4. Check whether BX has a strong enough signal with the Control
       Panel by putting the Control Panel into Walk Test mode (please
       refer to Control Panel manual). Press the Function Button check
       whether the signal is strong enough (please refer to Control Panel
       manual for signal strength).
    5. If you are satisfied with the signal strength, remove the Bellbox
       from mounting location.
    6. Identify the 3 mounting holes, mount and fix the Bellbox on the
       wall using the large screws and wall plugs provided. Secure the
       screws using a Philips screwdriver. Make sure the Tamper Switch
       is fully depressed against the wall.




                                                  3


    <NOTE>
        )    The tamper switch is secured with a button at the back of the base. When the siren is
             pulled off from the wall, button will be released, the alarm will be activated. Ensure the
             button is fully depressed when the siren is mounted. If there is a gap, pack with a suitable
             spacing material.
     7. Replace the Top cover by hooking the top of the Top cover onto the top of the base. Push the
        bottom of the Top cover onto the base and tighten the bottom screw using a Philips screwdriver.
     8. Check if the installation is successful by testing from the Control Panel by arming and disarming
        function.
     9. The installation is now completed.
