Getting started

  1. Connect the power supply to the receiver and the mains outlet. Pull the battery tab on the bottom (BE1442 only).
    Place the receiver on a level surface or mount it on the wall using the wall bracket accessory (see separate instructions).

  2. To test the radio link you need a Visit transmitter. Press the test button/s on the transmitter.

  3. The receiver lights up a Visit LED and starts to flash. If a bed shaker is connected, it will vibrate.
    A short press on the mute/test button repeats the last indication. If nothing happens, see Troubleshooting.

Default signal pattern

When a transmitter is activated, the flash receiver lights up an LED, flashes and the bed shaker starts to vibrate with a certain pace. This is called signal pattern. The transmitters determine the pattern, and the default is as follows:

Transmitter Flash receiver Bed shaker
Activated source Visit LED Flash
• Door transmitter/push-button transmitter  Green Yes
• Telephone transmitter / connected telephone Yellow Yes
• Baby monitor Orange Yes
• Smoke alarm Red Yes
• CO alarm Orange and red Yes

Changing the signal pattern

The signal pattern can only be changed on the transmitters. See Changing the signal pattern for the relevant transmitter.

Power LED indications

When the flash receiver is connected to mains power, the power LED lights up in green.
The BE1442 model is also equipped with battery backup and the power LED indicates the following:

Power LED Status
• Greenlight The flash receiver is connected to mains power. The backup

batteries are detected.
• Green blinks| The flash receiver is connected to mains power. No backup batteries are detected.
• Red light| The flash receiver is running on battery backup.
• Red blinks| The backup batteries are nearly depleted.

Changing the radio key
If your Visit system is activated for no reason, there is probably a nearby system that triggers yours. In order to avoid radio interference, you need to change the radio key on all units. The radio key switches are located on the transmitters.

Here is how you change the radio key:

  1. Open the transmitter cover and move any radio key switch to the up (on position) to change the radio key. See Changing the radio key for the relevant transmitter.
  2. Press and hold the mute/test button on the top of the receiver until the green and yellow Visit LEDs blink alternately. Release the button.
  3. Press the test button/s on the transmitter within 30 seconds to send the new radio key.
  4. All Visit LEDs on the receiver blink 5 times to show that the radio key has been changed. It then returns to normal mode.
    Note: All Visit units must be set to the same radio key in order to operate as a group.

Accessories

The flash receiver can be complemented with the following accessories:

  • BE1270 Bed shaker
    Wakes you with vibrations under the pillow or mattress.

  • **BE9250 Mobile phone sensor ***
    Place it on the mobile phone or tablet, and the flash receiver will alert you of incoming calls and messages.

  • BE9105 Telephone cable
    Use it to connect the receiver to your landline telephone and be alerted with flashes when the phone rings.

  • BE9075 Wall bracket

Directing the flash

The flash receiver features a rotating top that makes it easy to direct the light. Point it for example towards a wall if you feel that the flash is too intense. A silicone slip-on top is also available in a variety of colors (art. no. BE9164-BE9167).

Advanced programming

By using advanced programming, you can customize the signal pattern from a specific transmitter and event, displaying the LED color and vibration pattern of your choice. The advanced programming overrides the radio key and pairs the units via the serial number. Please note that smoke- and CO alarms cannot be programmed for safety reasons.
Note: The transmitter must be activated as it is intended to be used in the system to generate the right signal. This means that you can’t always use the transmitter test button (see Default signal pattern for the relevant transmitter).

Here is how you program the receiver:

  1. Press and hold the mute/test button on the receiver. The green and yellow Visit LEDs will start to blink alternately. While still holding down the button, activate the desired transmitter as intended. Release the button.
  2. Scroll through the different Visit LED options by pressing the mute/test button on the receiver. Select the desired Visit LED color by holding down the mute/test button until the power LED goes out and lights up again.
  3. Scroll through the different vibration options by pressing the test button on the receiver (bed shaker required). Select the desired vibration pattern by holding down the mute/test button until the power LED goes out and lights up again.
  4. The receiver will now show the new Visit LED color and vibration pattern. Press the mute/test button briefly to end the demonstration. After a short while, it will return to normal mode.

Deleting the advanced programming

Follow the procedure below to delete the advanced programming.

  1. Hold down the mute/test button on the receiver until the green and yellow Visit LEDs blink alternately. Release the button.
  2. Press the mute/test button on the receiver 3 times in quick succession.
  3. All Visit LEDs will light up for ~2 seconds to show that it has been deleted.

Troubleshooting

Most problems with the flash receiver can be solved quickly by following the advice below.

If Try this
The receiver seems to be turned off • Check that the power supply is

connected correctly.
• Charge the backup batteries for at least 24 hours (BE1442 only).
The power LED blinks in red| • The backup batteries are nearly depleted and the power supply is disconnected.
Connect the power supply and charge the batteries for at least 24 hours.
The power LED blinks in green| • The receiver detects no backup batteries. Pull the battery tab, see Getting started.
The receiver does not respond
when a transmitter is activated, but
works when I use the test button| • Check the transmitter batteries and connections.
• Move the receiver closer to the transmitter to make sure it’s within radio range.
• Check that the receiver is set to the same radio key as the other units in the Visit system, see Changing the radio key.
The receiver is activated for no
apparent reason| • There is probably another Visit system installed nearby that triggers your system. Change the radio key on all units, see Changing the radio key.
The flash is too bright| • Redirect the light by rotating the top or use a silicone slip-on top to dim the light.
