Introduction

This help guide should assist when first setting up a new bell/siren kit for use with a A103F Biometric terminal, or when adding or reconnecting a bell kit to an existing terminal. If a siren is to be fitted which was purchased from Clocking Systems then please refer to the wiring instructions specific to that product separately. Other bells or sirens may be connected, but please ensure that they are suitable for 240V AC input. As with any electrical work please ensure that this equipment is fitted by a person competent in electric installation, as the output to the bell or siren is 240V AC.

Checking the Equipment

The A103F Biometric terminal is shown below. 

The bell kit should resemble the image below.

Installation & Setup

Firstly, grab the terminal and ensure it is unplugged. Looking at the back you should see where the white connector (marked Bell / siren connection to terminal) should plug in, as shown below.

The bell/siren kit box should be mounted to the side or below the terminal as appropriate using the 3 mounting holes as detailed below in the left image. The orientation of the box should be positioned to best suit the input and output cable positions. The right image shows the layout inside the box. Note the position of the cables (these are labelled on the PC board for clarity) if they need to be disconnected or reconnected. There is also a 5x20mm, 3A quick blow fuse for added circuit protection.

The Bell/siren output cable should be connected to the bell or siren as shown below. Note that the actual wiring instruction will vary depending on the type of bell or siren selected. The example below shows a standard Clocking Systems siren. The instructions for fitting this will be included separately.

Once the hardware and wiring are complete plug in the bell kit input plug and switch on. The terminal can also now be plugged in.

Setting up the Bell Times

To access the menu log in as an administrator on the terminal and then follow the steps below to reach the bell setup screen. 

Tap the shift icon.

On the top row of options tap Bell.
