Product description

The Bell Lighting 09012V2 is an emergency LED exit blade with a viewing distance of 28m. It features a LiFePO4 3.2V 1500mAh battery with a 24-hour recharge time and 180-minute emergency duration.

Installation

1. Remove the cover on the base. On the hanging range, the cover is held on by screws. The wall-mounted unit cover is held on by 4 recessed lugs.
2. Fix the base to the wall or ceiling using an appropriate fixing method.
3. Isolate the A.C. supply and connect the unit. An unswitched 240V A.C. supply must be connected.
4. Fit the battery plug onto the two protruding metal pins on the edge of the PCB. Then, replace and secure the cover.
5. On hanging signs, the length of the hanging wire can be adjusted by pushing the inner sleeve upwards. Excess wire can be cut and re-terminated into the PCB terminals.
6. Perform an operational check by restoring the A.C. supply for 30 minutes, then isolate. The LEDs should illuminate for at least 10 seconds.
7. Restore the A.C. supply and check that the charge indicator LED is 'on'.

Operation modes

The unit is normally operated in the maintained mode. For non-maintained operation, remove the 2-pin connector from the PCB (refer to the wiring diagram). The battery is on automatic charge when the supply is connected.

Testing and maintenance

Routine Test Procedure:

• Once a day: Visual inspection of battery charge LED.
• Once a month: Simulate a mains failure to ensure the emergency mode functions correctly.
• Once each year: Place into emergency mode and check that the duration provided by the battery meets the specified time period.

Troubleshooting and fault finding

If the monitoring LED is not illuminated, check that the A.C. supply is healthy and the battery is connected. If the unit does not meet the required emergency period, discharge the battery and recharge for 24 hours. If the duration is still not achieved, the battery may need replacing.
