The Visit Smoke Alarm
Art. no. BE1480

Appendix

Further information

Connection

The Bellman Visit Smoke Alarm does not require any connections. 

Settings

No adjustments are required for normal use. The relevant descriptions are provided below, if you wish to change a setting for some reason.

Radio key

In order to use several Bellman Visit Systems close to one another without interference, different Radio Keys can be set on the different systems. All Bellman Visit System units are supplied from the factory tuned to the same Radio Key, channel 0. This means that all Radio Key Switches on the transmitters are set to the OFF position.

• To alter the Radio Key, move the Radio Key Switches (6) to the desired positions. Note that switches (7) and (8) are not Radio Key Switches. 
• The broadcast switch (7) has the function of switching on and off an additional safety function which makes the smoke alarm transmit to all receivers within its range regardless of the Radio Key that is set.

Please note:

All Bellman Visit products within a system must be tuned to the same Radio Key in order to operate as a group. If the broadcast switch (7) is in the ON position, however, all Visit receivers are activated when a fire alarm signal is detected regardless of the Radio Key. If an incorrect Radio Key is set on the Smoke Alarm, neither the battery warning nor the Test Button will work with  Visit System’s receivers. This function ensures that, when in Broadcast mode, you will not interfere with other Visit Systems when you test the smoke alarm or have a low battery.

Signal pattern

A Signal Pattern is the name for the way in which a receiver in the Visit System indicates activation. Changing the transmitters’ Signal Switch changes the Signal Pattern which the receivers display when the transmitter is activated.

THE FOLLOWING SIGNAL PATTERNS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE VISIT Smoke Alarm BE1480:

Type	LED pattern	Sound	Vibration	Flash
Fire alarm	Red bliks constantly	Fire alarm constant	Long	Yes
Fire alarm low battery	Red blinks every five seconds	No	No	No
Fire alarm flat battery	Red blinks in every five seconds	Fire alarm one short	One short	Yes

 

Testing

It is easy to test the Bellman Smoke Alarm. If the Smoke Alarm does not work as described below, you can check further under Troubleshooting/Troubleshooting guide.

How to test

Test the Smoke Alarm at least once per month and preferably each week, e.g. during cleaning. Always test it immediately after any holidays or other extended periods of absence. 
A receiver in the Bellman Visit System which is set to the same Radio Key as the Smoke Alarm is required to test the Smoke Alarm with the Test Button (1) or by blowing in smoke. 

Proceed as follows:

• Hold down the Test Button (1) or blow smoke into the Smoke Alarm. The Smoke Alarm will transmit a radio signal after about five to ten seconds.
• The Visit receivers will then indicate the Smoke Alarm.

Troubleshooting

You can carry out a number of checks yourself before sending a product for repair. 

Troubleshooting guide

Problem	Solution
Nothing happens when the transmitter is activated with the test button (1).	Change the battery. Use a Duracell MN1604, Energizer 522 or Ultralife U9VL-J.
The Visit Receivers occasionally indicate a fire alarm for no apparent reason.	Change the battery. Use a Duracell MN1604, Energizer 522 or Ultralife U9VL-J.  Change the Radio Key on all units in the system. For further information see Function/Radio Key
The Smoke Alarm can be activated with the test button (1) but the receivers are not responding.	Check that the Smoke Alarm’s antenna is straight and points to the floor. Check that the receivers are not placed too far away by moving them closer to the Smoke Alarm. Check the battery in the receiver. Check that all units in the Visit System are set to the same Radio Key. For further information see Appendix/Further information/Settings/Radio Key.
The LED (1) blinks yellow or in a strange manner.	Refer to the Guard Receiver User Manual if the Smoke Alarm is connected to a system with a BE1465 Visit Guard Receiver. If the Smoke Alarm is not connected to a system with a BE1465 Visit Guard Receiver, check that the Guard Receiver Switch (8) is in position 0
The receiver signals when no transmitter is activated.	Change the Radio Key on all units in the relevant Visit System. There is probably another system nearby with the same Radio Key.
The Smoke Alarm beeps and chirps in a different way from that indicated above for no reason.	The Smoke Alarm is defective and needs to be sent for repair.
