Digibell Vandal Resistant System Introduction The Digibell digital door entry telephone system is designed primarily for large blocks of flats in the private or public housing sector, where reliability and serviceability are of prime importance. The Digibell system offers two levels of cable isolation: ‘Full Isolation’ (between individual dwellings) for buildings where vandalism by residents may be high and ‘Zonal Isolation’ (between floors or zones) for a more cost effective system.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System System Operation Entrance Panel 0-9, A>, & to enter A; subsequent presses advance through the alphabet, while A> A> 2 1 Call Press to call a flat once the correct number is displayed. Cancel Cancels the current entry leaving a blank display.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Phone Controls All phones have 2-way speech and a lock button to release the door. For security, phones must be called first and taken off the hook before the lock release button will function; a stuck lock button will be ignored. Ringer Mute With some models of telephone (801PS, 801S & BS-LX) the resident can mute the ringing sound of their phone when they do not wish to be disturbed.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Design Considerations Please read in conjunction with the cable overview drawings starting on page 14 to determine the equipment required for your system. Entrance panels All entrance panels are Stainless Steel Vandal Resistant and have a 4-digit red LED dotmatrix display mounted behind a protective LEXAN window. Both flush and surface types are available.

Digibell Vandal Resistant System Lock Releases The BSD-DIG door controller supports both fail-secure and fail-safe lock releases including magnetic locks of up to 1A rating at 12V DC. Suitable transient voltage protection must be fitted across any Maglock or lock release (Some Maglocks have protection inbuilt). If a voltage free output is required for an automatic gate trigger, or connection to another system, an additional 12V DC relay will be needed, e.g. model 89.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Cable requirements All system wiring must be carried out using CAT5 data cable except were otherwise specified. CAT5 is necessary as it has a guaranteed noise performance and meets the requirements of the EMC directive. Flex or ‘Twin and Earth’ (1.0mm2 min.) is specified for 12V power connections etc ( see table below). Bell System will be unable to offer any warranty or support for systems installed using incorrect cables.

Digibell Vandal Resistant System Installation & Commissioning Guide Installation 1. Review the section headed ‘Safety information’ on Page 55. 2. Check the equipment supplied is as required; refer to the previous section if necessary. 3. Ensure the correct cable type is used (CAT5 and 1.0mm2). 4. Install the system according to instructions in this section. 5. For optional wiring such as a Trades time clock, Fob reader or gate trigger relay refer to diagrams 12, 13 or 14. 6.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System the top and side edges of the front plate on the side touching the wall to prevent water ingress behind the panel, but not 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. Electric Door Release Both fail-secure and fail-safe lock releases (including Maglocks) use the same terminals.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Entrance Panel Programming Several useful settings can be changed using the Entrance panel. This includes. • • • Lock duration Lock type Tradesman and Coded Access Codes (see Table below for full list) Security It is strongly recommended that the Panel Security Code (PSEC) be changed from its factory setting to prevent unauthorized access. Record the new number carefully as it cannot be easily changed if lost.

Digibell Vandal Resistant System TONE – Re-assurance Tone To conform to DDA requirements the controller provides a re-assurance tone when a phone is ringing and also when the door lock has been operated from the door panel or the called phone, but not the exit button. In some situations these tones can be considered a nuisance and therefore can be turned off. Four settings are available: [Both] = Ringing and lock tones. [Call] = Ringing tone only. [Lock] = Lock tone only. [None] = No tones.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System DBA-4I 4 Way Phone Isolator The DBA-4I Isolator is used to distribute wiring to up to 4 flats, whilst providing isolation between flats. This isolation ensures that a cable fault within one flat will not stop phones within other flats functioning. There is a maximum of 2 phones in each flat. Adding a 2nd phone / extension phone reduces the maximum number of flats that can be powered from the same Power supply.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Programming flat addresses The address is the flat number which is entered at the entrance panel in order to call a resident. These addresses are programmed on each of the Isolator PCB’s by selecting the positions of the rotary switch SW6 and the 8-way dipswitch SW7.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System to each Isolator. This offset enables any start address (i.e. the address of the first flat) to be set between 1 and 3200. The offset address is set using dipswitch SW7: SW7 switch Offset 1 +1 2 +2 3 +50 4 +100 5 +200 6 +400 7 +800 8 +1600 Example [q2e4t6ui] ^ +2 ^ ^ +100 +400 Total offset = +502 Simply add the Total offset value of SW7 switches to the addresses selected by SW6 (See the table on page 28).
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Example: If the 1st floor has flats 1, 2, 3 and the 2nd floor has flats 4, 5, 6 and one Isolator is used for each floor. The 4th Phone output on the 1st floor Isolator will need disabling; otherwise two outputs will try to ring flat 4. Special addressing On the rare occasion when flat numbers skip every other number, e.g. 1,3,5,7 or 2,4,6,8 etc the jumper on the ‘PROG’ 6 pin header can be moved to pins 3 and 4.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Phone ring test This test can be used to ring a phone on one of the four outputs of the DBA-4I isolator to verify basic operation. It can be used to test the ringer, hook switch and lock button operation but not the two way speech. 1. Press the Test button twice to ensure the system is in idle. 2. Set SW7 to test the appropriate phone (only one phone at a time): 1 ON 1st Phone 2 ON 2nd Phone 3 ON 3rd Phone 4 ON 4th Phone 3. Press Test to ring the phone 4.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System DBA-8Z 8 Way Zone isolator The DBA-8Z Isolator is used to distribute wiring to a ‘zone’ of up to 8 flats whilst providing isolation from other zones. This isolation ensures that a cable fault within one zone will not affect the operation of phones within any other zone. It offers a good compromise between equipment cost and ease of maintenance. If greater isolation is required please refer to the DBA-4I Phone Isolator. There is a maximum of 2 phones in each flat.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Programming flat addresses The address is the flat number which is entered at the entrance panel in order to call a resident. These addresses are programmed on each of the Isolator PCB’s by selecting the positions of the rotary switch SW6 and the 8-way dipswitch SW7.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Common Numbering Schemes In many buildings the flat numbering does not follow a single sequence as illustrated above; there are often separate sequences for each floor and each sequence begins with a different number (e.g. 101.. 201.. ). Most requirements can be achieved by adding an offset address to each Isolator. This offset enables any start address (i.e. the address of the first flat) to be set between 1 and 3200.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Example: Isolator Address SW6 (DBA-8Z) Range Position SW7 setting Comment 1 103-107 1 (1-8) 2, 4 ON (+102) Choose 1-8 then add offset +102 2 108-112 2 (5-12) 1, 2, 4 ON (+103) Choose 5-12 then add offset +103 3 114-122 4 (13-20) 1, 4 ON (+101) Choose 13-20 then add offset +101 In the example above, Isolators 1 and 2 use only five phone connections each; the last three outputs of Isolator 1 would be 108, 109, 110 which, although unused, conflict with the fir
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Special addressing On the rare occasion when flat numbers skip every other number, e.g. 1,3,5,7 etc or 2,4,6,8 etc the jumper on the ‘PROG’ 6 pin header can be moved to pins 3 and 4. If flat numbers are required in the range 3200 to 6400 the jumper on the ‘PROG’ 6 pin header can be moved to pins 5 and 6. This simple adds an offset of +3200 to any address set on SW6 and SW7.

Digibell Vandal Resistant System Phone settings 801, 801S, 801PS Phones These models have a ring volume with 2 settings high and low marked HI and LO. The default is HI. If the ring is too loud move the jumper at the top left of the PCB to over the 2 pins marked LO. No other adjustments are required. The 801S and 801PS have a slide switch on the right to enable the user to turn the ringer on or off.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Ringer volume This model has 2 ring levels ‘Low’, ‘Medium’ and ‘High’, the default is ‘High’. It the ringer is too loud move the jumper marked ‘Ring Volume’ on the PCB to the ‘Medium’ or ‘Low’ position. Ringer mute time The phone can be set so that after pressing the mute button the ringer is disabled for a set time and then automatically re-enables itself. This time is adjustable between 2 minutes and 10 hours. It can typically be used to silence the ringer over night.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System 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.
Digibell Vandal Resistant System Entrance Panel Display Problems No display No power at display module BD10; check for a minimum of 10V between +V and 0V. To test the display, turn the power off and then on and check the software version is displayed for a few seconds: Two version numbers are displayed, e.g. “BDV1” then “V4.0”, the presence of the second number confirms the module is receiving data from the BSD-DIG controller ( connection ‘D’).
Digibell Vandal Resistant System BS-LX phone flashes red and green periodically instead of ringing No 12V to connection ‘V’, check 12V between V and O on the phone. Check the fuse on the DBA-4I/8Z isolator hasn’t blown. Speech Problems Loud tone/howl at the entrance speaker. (Acoustic feedback) Low volume speech in one or both directions • Volume controls set too high at entrance • Broken Audio 1 or 2 wire in the cabling (between control equipment).
