Frequently Asked Questions - D942S Libra+ FRIEDLAND

What is the range of the Friedland D942S Libra+ doorbell?

The maximum range is 150 meters in open field, but may be reduced by walls, metal structures, or radio interference.

How to replace the push button battery?

Open the button by removing the retaining screw, then insert a CR2032 battery with the + side facing up.

The chime does not ring, what to do?

Check that the chime is plugged into a live 230 V outlet, the volume is not at minimum, and the button is within range. If necessary, reprogram the button.

How to adjust the volume?

Open the sliding window on the front of the chime and turn the volume adjustment knob to the desired position.

How to program a new push button?

Press and hold the ● button on the chime until the desired icon lights up, then press the push button. The chime will ring and the icon will flash.

The range is reduced, why?

Metal structures, thick walls, radio interference, and a weak battery can reduce range. Move the button away from metals and change the battery if necessary.

The light flash does not work, what to do?

Check the position of the chime switch: it should be in position 2 (sound + flash) or 3 (flash only).

How to change the ringtone?

Press the push button, then as soon as the icon flashes, press the ● button on the chime to cycle through the available ringtones.

The push button does not work in wired mode, what to check?

Ensure the wiring is correct according to the connection diagrams (C1 to C7) and the terminal screws are tight. The maximum allowed voltage is 24 V AC/DC.

What does a double beep after the ring mean?

This indicates that the push button battery is almost discharged. Replace it with a new CR2032 battery.

Use of icons

In addition to the chime sounds, your chime has a visual indication to show which device has activated it. An icon will illuminate when the chime is activated by a bell push or another compatible device. The chime supports 3 icons:

Main door

Back door

Alert symbol

The 'Main door' and 'Back door' icons are usually used for bell pushes. The other icons are intended for use with other compatible devices, such as PIR movement detectors and Telephone ring detector. Icons numbered 1 to 3 are also included. The Icons are self-adhesive, supplied in strips of 3. They can be changed, if required, by opening the sliding window of the chime and gently peeling off the strips.

If desired, the strips can be cut into individual icons and fixed to the chime in a different order.

Use the Programming procedure to change the icon associated with a push.

Any device with N/O or N/C, voltage free contacts
Any device which generates appropriate control signals < 24 (AC or DC)

Typical connections

Troubleshooting

A 'beep' sound is heard in learn mode... ● The push you are programming has already been learnt by the chime. ● If you want to change the icon associated with the push, use the un-learn procedure, then programme the push again.

Two 'beep' sounds are heard after the normal chime sound... ● This indicates a low battery in the bell push that activated the chime. Fit a new battery, type CR2032.

When the bell push is operated, the amber confidence light does not turn on, or is only on for a short time... ● In normal operation, the amber light will turn on for 1 second. When the battery is weak, the light will only turn on for a short time. Fit a new battery, type CR2032.

The chime does not work... ● Check that the chime is plugged in to 230V socket. ● Does the socket have a switch? Is it in the 'ON' position. ● The chime could be out of range of the bell push. Try the chime in a different location. ● The chime might not have learnt the identity of the bell push. Follow the programming procedure.

The chime does not sound... ● Check the chime switch position. ● Check that the volume control is not at the minimum setting.

The flashing light does not work... ● Check the chime switch position.

Range is reduced... ● Metal structures, including uPVC door frames can reduce the range of the product. Avoid mounting the push or chime on or near metal structures. ● Other equipment can cause radio interference that affects your chime. ● Walls and ceilings will reduce the range. ● Weak batteries will reduce range. Replace every 12 -18 months. In cold conditions (below 5°C), batteries may need to be replaced more often.

When the push converter function is used, the chime does not operate ... ● Ensure that the wiring to the push is correct. ● Check that the correct terminals have been used and that screws are tightened.

Chime/Push does not work with my older Libra equipment ... ● Libra + is not compatible with the earlier Libra system. ● Only use accessories marked Libra+.
