SOLAR BELL
(Wireless Bell Box)
This Solar Bell (wireless bell box) operates with our Bell Box convertor, suitable for upgrading any wired
or wireless alarm system. The Bell Box convertor can be fitted inside or near any control panel.
Features
- 3 minutes or 15 minutes selectable Dual Failsafe Cut-Off Timer.
- Strobe Save Mode
The unit automatically switches to 1 flash every 60 seconds after the strobe has been flashing for 15
minutes. The unit will revert to Normal Mode once the Control Panel has been reset (Disarmed).
- Highly sensitive light activated solar panel. No connection to main power.
- Easy to connect with any control panel.
- High intensity Xenon strobe flash.
- Fully low battery supervised.
- Operating with a 6 volt rechargeable lead acid and a 9 Volt Alkaline battery only.
Positioning the Solar Bell
The Solar Bell should be located as high as possible in a prominent position so that it can be easily seen and
heard.
To provide the optimum amount of daylight to the Solar Bell, in southern hemisphere (such as Australia), you
should ideally mount the Solar Bell on a north facing wall. In northern hemisphere (such as UK), you should
ideally mount the Solar Bell on a south facing wall.
Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof overhangs should also be avoided. If the Solar Bell is to be
mounted below the eaves, it should be positioned at a distance of at least twice the width of the eaves overhang
below the eaves. Remember that in winter the sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid winter shadows
where possible.
The Solar Bell contains a sophisticated radio receiver. However, reception of radio signals can be affected by the
presence of metallic objects within the vicinity of the Solar Bell. It is therefore important to mount the Solar Bell
at a minimum distance of 1m away from any external or internal metalwork, (i.e. drainpipes, gutters, radiators,
mirrors etc).

Installation
1. Select the appropriate low battery detection option by setting correct jumpers on
the Bell Box convertor. (Fig. 1)
2. Mount the Bell Box convertor vertically on the wall near the control panel
through the holes at the back plate of the Bell Box convertor. (Fig. 2) Connect
the wires to the control panel according to the terminals described on the above
table.
3. Install a 6V rechargeable lead acid battery and a 9V alkaline battery into the
Solar Bell. (Fig. 3) The Solar Bell will not be triggered within 6 minutes after
installation of the batteries.

The Solar Bell is factory pre-programmed with the
Bell Box convertor. Normally you do not need to
reprogram. To reprogram it, please see the following:
Program the Solar Bell with Bell Box convertor
4 a.) To reprogram it, you have to reset the Bell Box convertor by
pushing the program button (Fig. 1) and hold on it for 5 to 10
seconds. The LED on the convertor will light on green color,
then switch off to indicate the reset of the convertor.
b.) To program the Solar Bell with the Bell Box convertor, press
once on the program button on the convertor.
c.) The signal LED on the Bell Box convertor will light on green
color for 20 seconds. (Fig. 4)
d.) During this 20 seconds, switch the BATT ON/OFF switch on
the Solar Bell to “ON” position, then the Solar Bell will
communicate with the Bell Box convertor. (Fig. 5)
e.) The Bell Box convertor LED will flash twice, then the LED
will switch off, which means the Solar Bell is programmed /
learnt with the Bell Box convertor.
f.) Set up the Cut-Off Timer on the Solar Bell (Fig. 5)
g.) Once the 6V lead acid & 9V alkaline batteries are connected
and the Solar Bell is programmed with the Bell Box
convertor, the unit enters the Engineering Mode for a
period of 6 minutes to allow you to fit and secure the lid
of the unit to its base.
Operation
5. Make sure to connect the Bell Box convertor with the Control Panel STB, TRIG, -RTN.
6. Mount the Solar Bell on the selected location of the premises. After securing of the lid of the Solar Bell to
its base and 6 minutes of Engineering Mode past, you can test the siren & strobe of the Solar Bell.
7. Trigger
a.) If the Bell Box convertor receives BELL or STB on/off signal from control panel, it will transmit
the corresponding signals to the Solar Bell.
b.) When the Solar Bell receives the BELL ON or STB ON signals, the siren or the strobe will be
turned on. If no BELL OFF signal is received, the siren will automatically stop after 3 or 15
minutes (depending on “Cut-off timer selection” as per Fig. 5). The strobe will flash once per
CAUTION: If the cover or lid cannot close probably, the Solar Bell Box will alarm “sound” after 6
minutes when you power up the Solar Bell Box.

minute after 15 minutes triggered in order to save battery power.
c.) When the Solar Bell receives the BELL OFF or STB OFF signals, the siren or the strobe will be
turned off immediately.
Low battery detection
If the low battery detection selection jumper (L_BATT) on the Bell Box convertor is set to “ON” (Fig. 1), then
during low battery condition, a signal will be transmitted to the Bell Box convertor. The LED of the Bell Box
convertor will light on red color and the Fault terminals on the Bell Box convertor will have an “open” signal
until the battery of the Solar Bell is recharged.
Tamper Protection fixing
While mount the Solar Bell on the selected location, please make
sure to put an additional screw to provide wall tamper by fitting
through the screw hole next to the raised dual tamper microswitch.
In doing so, care must be taken to leave the screw head slightly
proud to ensure that the microswitch remains level and closes
correctly when the outer cover is fitted.
a.) If the tamper of the Bell Box convertor is triggered, the tamper return signal will be
transmitted to the control panel for further action.
b.) If the tamper of the Solar Bell is triggered in normal mode, TAMP_OPEN signal will be transmitted to the
control panel via the Bell Box convertor, and the system enters an alarm condition.
c.) If the tamper of the Solar Bell is closed, TAMP_CLOSE signal will be transmitted to the Control Panel via
Bell Box convertor and will clear the tamper return signal.
Supervision
a.) The Solar Bell will send the supervisory signal to the Bell Box convertor every hour.
b.) If the Bell Box convertor has not received any supervisory signal from the Solar Bell for 4 consecutive
hours, it will raise the fault signal to the control panel.
