The Bell Lighting 09040V2 is an emergency bulkhead luminaire designed for professional installation. Key requirements include a 24-hour initial charge before use and adherence to BS7671:2018 wiring regulations. The unit features self-testing capabilities and requires regular routine testing to ensure safety compliance.
Installation
Installation must be performed by a competent electrician. Always switch off the mains supply before beginning work.
Wiring Configurations:
- Non-maintained: Connect L (Live) and N (Neutral) to the supply.
- Maintained: Connect L (Live), N (Neutral), and a Link cable.
- Switchable maintained: Connect L (Live), N (Neutral), and Ls (Switched Live).
Ensure the PCB switch is set correctly before installation: position 0 indicates standard mode, and position 1 indicates self-test mode.
Testing and Commissioning
After installation, allow the unit to charge for 24 hours. A mains failure should be simulated to ensure the fitting operates for its specified time.
Test Button Functions:
- Press for 1 second: Emergency mode for 1 second.
- Press for 5 seconds: Function test for 30 seconds.
- Press for 7 seconds: 3-hour duration test.
- Press for 10 seconds: End the duration test.
Maintenance and Routine Testing
Regular testing is essential for safety:
- Daily: Inspect the battery charge LED.
- Monthly: Energize the unit from the battery to simulate a power failure and ensure the emergency mode functions correctly.
- Yearly: Perform a full duration test to ensure the battery meets the specified time period.
