The Sarabec Chimeflash is a wireless alert system designed to provide auditory and visual notifications for doorbells and telephone calls, particularly beneficial for individuals with hearing or visual impairments. The system comprises a receiver unit and a bellpush transmitter, with an optional telephone alert transmitter available separately.

Function Description:

The core function of the Chimeflash is to alert users to events such as a doorbell ring or a telephone call. When a transmitter is triggered (e.g., someone presses the bellpush or the telephone rings), the receiver unit responds with extra loud sounds, ultra-bright flashing LEDs, and colored indicators. This multi-sensory approach ensures that alerts are noticeable even in noisy environments or for users with sensory challenges. The system is pre-programmed for immediate use once batteries are inserted, but offers customization options for melodies, volume, and alert types.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Frequency: 868.4MHz, ensuring a reliable wireless connection.
  • Maximum Volume: Up to 100dB at 1 meter, providing a very loud alert.
  • Range: Up to 300 meters in open space, allowing for flexible placement of the receiver and transmitters within a home or property.
  • Power Requirements:
    • Receiver: 3 x "C" size Alkaline batteries or a 12V 1A Mains Power Supply Unit (PSU). The batteries can act as a backup if the mains power fails.
    • Bellpush Transmitter: 1 x CR2032 coin cell battery.
    • Other Transmitters: 1 x CR2032 coin cell battery.
  • Guarantee: The system comes with a 2-year guarantee.
  • Compliance: Complies with relevant UK Statutory Instruments and EU directives.

Usage Features:

Receiver Unit:

  • Indicators: Features a Doorbell Icon (Green), Battery Low Indicator, General Bell Icon (Orange), and Flash Lens for visual alerts.
  • Controls:
    • Volume/Setup (Multifunctional) Button/Wheel: This control serves two primary purposes. When pressed and held, it enters setup mode for programming. When rotated, it adjusts the volume or selects melodies in setup mode. There are 8 volume levels, indicated by single beeps, with a double beep signifying maximum volume.
    • Alert Type Selector: A slide switch allows users to choose between "Sound Only," "Flash Only," or "Sound & Flash" alerts.
    • Accept Button: This button can be pressed at any time when the system is triggered to immediately stop the alerts.
  • Power Supply Socket: For optional mains power.
  • Battery Compartment: Houses 3 x "C" size Alkaline batteries.

Bellpush Transmitter:

  • Push Button: The primary trigger for the doorbell alert.
  • Push Indicator: Provides visual feedback when the button is pressed.
  • Mounting Bracket: For easy installation.
  • Battery Compartment: Houses 1 x CR2032 coin cell battery.

Initial Setup and Customization:

  • Pairing Transmitters: To add a new transmitter, press and hold the receiver's setup button for 2-3 seconds until the green doorbell symbol flashes. Then, press the transmitter button; the receiver's green symbol will flash rapidly, and a single beep will confirm successful pairing.
  • Melody Selection: The system offers 4 doorbell melodies and 2 telephone melodies. In setup mode, users can rotate the setup button to cycle through and select desired melodies. The chosen melody applies to the corresponding symbol (doorbell or general bell).
  • Volume Control: Volume can be adjusted at any time (outside of setup mode) using the setup button/wheel. The selected volume level applies to all paired transmitters.

Mounting:

  • Bellpush: Can be attached using the pre-attached sticky pad or screws and plugs for masonry. It should be fitted to the mounting plate at a 90-degree angle and rotated until a click is heard.
  • Receiver: Can be wall-mounted using provided screws or the sticky pad.

Optional Accessories:

  • Telephone Alert Transmitter: Plugs into a BT phone socket to alert for incoming calls. Programming is similar to the doorbell push.
  • 12V Mains Power Supply: Allows the receiver to be powered by mains electricity, with batteries serving as a backup. Only the Sarabec 12V 1A power supply should be used.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Management:

  • Receiver: Requires 3 x "C" size Alkaline batteries. A blinking RED indicator on the receiver and a dropped volume level signal low batteries.
  • Transmitters: Require 1 x CR2032 coin cell battery. Blinking Green or Orange symbols on the receiver indicate low transmitter batteries.
  • Battery Replacement: Instructions are provided for replacing batteries in both the receiver and transmitters.

Troubleshooting:

  • Low Battery: Replace batteries as indicated by the RED (receiver) or Green/Orange (transmitter) blinking indicators.
  • Clearing Transmitters: To remove a transmitter from memory, enter setup mode, press and hold the setup button for 3 seconds, then press the setup button once. To clear a specific symbol, hold the setup button again for 3 seconds.
  • Random Triggers: If the system triggers randomly (e.g., from a neighbor's doorbell), open the transmitter's battery cover, remove the battery, press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds while reinserting the battery. The LED will blink 5 times, indicating a new code has been generated. Then, clear the transmitter from the receiver's memory and re-pair it.
  • Removing Transmitter from Mounting Plate: A small tab at the bottom of the mounting plate must be pushed away from the transmitter to allow rotation and removal.

Environmental Responsibility:

The "Wheely bin logo" on the product indicates that it should not be treated as ordinary household waste and should be disposed of responsibly.

The Sarabec Chimeflash is a comprehensive and user-friendly system designed to enhance safety and convenience for individuals needing reliable alerts for their home.
