BX-15ZBS Outdoor Bellbox
Introduction
BX-15ZBS is a ZigBee Outdoor Bellbox. It is capable of raising alarm upon receiving alarm signal from
the coordinator in the ZigBee 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 utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless
communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency.
Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network
and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission
The Bellbox serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee network to
receive alarm signal, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network through the Bellbox.
Parts Identification

When the Bellbox receives an alarm signal via ZigBee network, it will activate siren and strobe
light according to the alarm length set by the system control panel.
If the Bellbox receives an alarm signal, but the alarm length duration is not defined by the system
control panel, the Bellbox will activate alarm according to Dip Switch setting below:
SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 Siren Duration
ON OFF
OFF OFF 3 minutes
OFF ON OFF OFF 5 minutes

The Bellbox uses four 1.5V alkaline D-cell batteries as its power source. The battery is included in
the package. Open the battery compartment then insert the batteries to power up the Bellbox.
The Bellbox features Low Battery Detection function. When the battery voltage is low, the Bellbox
will transmit Low Battery signal to the coordinator in ZigBee network.
When changing battery, after removing the old battery, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully
discharge before inserting new battery

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. The alarm length of tamper alarm is determined by
the Dip Switch setting above.

ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and
high transmission efficiency. Based on IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of
devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.
Due to the fundamental structure of ZigBee network, ZigBee device will actively seek and join
network after powering on. Since performing a task in connecting network may consume some
power, it is required to follow the instructions to avoid draining battery of a ZigBee device
- Ensure your ZigBee network router or coordinator is powered on before inserting battery into the
ZigBee device.
- Ensure the ZigBee network router or coordinator is powered on and within range while a ZigBee
device is in use.
- Do not remove a ZigBee device from the ZigBee network router or coordinator without removing
the battery from a ZigBee device.

As a ZigBee device, the Bellbox needs to join a ZigBee network to send and receive alarm signal.
Please follow the steps bellow to join the Bellbox into the ZigBee network.
1. Insert the batteries.
2. Press and hold the function button for 10 seconds then release to join ZigBee network. Please
make sure to enable the permit-join feature on the router or coordinator of your ZigBee network
3. After joining the ZigBee network, the Bellbox will be registered in the security system in the
network automatically. Please check the security system control panel or CIE (Control and
Indicating Equipment) to confirm if joining and registration is successful.

4. After joining the ZigBee network, if the Bellbox loses connection with current ZigBee network,
the LED 3 will flash every 20 minutes to indicate the situation. Please check your ZigBee
network condition and Bellbox signal transmission range to correct the problem.

If you want to remove the Bellbox from current network and join a new network, you need to use
the Factory Reset function to clear the Bellbox for its stored setting and actively search for a
ZigBee network. To perform Factory Reset:
1. Press and hold the function button for 10 seconds, then release the button.
2. The Bellbox has been reset to factory default setting with all its previous network information
removed. It will now actively search for available ZigBee network again and join the network
automatically.
3. If the Bellbox successfully joins a ZigBee network, the LED3 will flash twice to indicate.

IMPORTANT NOTE
If the Bellbox installation location is away from your system control panel and requires ZigBee
routers to improve signal strength. DO NOT use a ZigBee Router without backup battery. A ZigBee
router without battery will be powered down during AC power failure and the Bellbox connected to
the router will lose connection with ZigBee network. You should plan your Bellbox installation
location using only ZigBee router with backup battery.

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
(Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS-210
standard.. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne
