Bell System DDA Video Door Entry Kit with Halo Buttons

Bell System DDA Video Door Entry Kit with Halo Buttons

This Bell System DDA video door entry kit pairs a DDA entrance panel with a CCD camera and Model BS Bellissimo video telephones. Bell designed its DDA panels to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). Bell says the Act requires landlords and service providers to consider reasonable adjustments to the physical features of their premises. Choose from 1 to 12 ways, flush or surface mounting, and a standard height or extended panel.

The panel is made in 2.5mm 316 marine grade stainless steel. It carries a CCD camera with infra-red lamps, vandal resistant push buttons with a high-visibility halo ring, and two indicator lights engraved 'Speak Now' and 'Door Open'. The resident sees the caller on the Bellissimo BS telephone and presses its Door button for a timed output to the lock release. Bell's standard DDA video kit also has an integral speech unit, panel and telephone controllers and a 12V DC power supply.

Choosing the right option

Pick the number of ways first. It is the number in the code, and Bell's price list also calls it stations. Flush panels are set into the wall and surface panels fit on it. Surface kits are listed from 1 to 8 ways, and the extended surface kit as 1 way only. Choose an extended panel where wheelchair users need to reach the panel. Under wheelchair users, Bell's brochure says the one station panel includes two halo buttons.

• Standard height panel: The DDA video panel with camera, halo buttons and the two indicator lights, without the extended length (DDABS and DDA-BS codes).
• Extended panel: A longer DDA video panel that able-bodied and wheelchair users at different heights can both use (DDA-EXT-BS codes).

Common questions

Which video telephone comes with the kit?

Bell's standard DDA video kit includes Model BS Bellissimo wall-mounting video telephones. The BS is made in white high-impact ABS plastic, has a 3.5 inch LCD colour display, contrast and ringer volume controls, and three soft-touch buttons: View, Private to mute the ringing tone, and Door to release the lock.

Can I add another video telephone in the same flat?

Bell's Bellissimo brochure says the Model BS video telephone can be connected to further Model BS video telephones for extension purposes, or a Model XL5-BS audio telephone can be used instead. Bell also lists a flashing beacon (BS-FB) and a sounder (BS-RT) as extensions. Bell's DDA brochure does not mention extensions, and none of these extras are part of this kit.

What is the difference between the standard height and extended panel?

Bell's extended panels are longer, so able-bodied and wheelchair users at different heights can both use them. In the same part of its brochure, Bell says the one station panel includes two high-visibility halo buttons. Bell's DDA brochure does not give panel sizes, so confirm the dimensions before cutting a recess for a flush panel.

What do the Speak Now and Door Open lights show?

One light, permanently engraved 'Speak Now', shows when a call has been answered. The other, engraved 'Door Open', shows when the resident has triggered the lock release. Bell fits the two bright indicator lights on its DDA panels for deaf or hard of hearing visitors.
