Emergency signal Alarm bell (text and pictogram) COFAN

Panoramic signal of ALARM BELL with text and pictogram COFAN. This signal is used to indicate the existence of a bell to be activated in case of fires or related emergencies.

The rescue sign is made on luminescent sheet (after absorbing light, the product emits it in the dark, so it does not need any electrical source and the product can be charged an indefinite number of times).

This type of signals are installed in different types of industries as a measure of alert and safety, fulfilling the function of keeping users and workers informed about rescue actions in case of emergency.

The alarm bell signal can be found in public buildings, such as government offices, schools, hospitals, factories, shopping centers, and other places where an audible alert is required in case of an emergency or critical situation.

  420 x 297 mm

APPLICATIONS

Public buildings, Factories, Fire stations, etc.

REGULATIONS

The UNE 23035-4 regulation from December 2003 requires signs to meet certain qualities of light intensity and resistance to pigment attenuation. Both the inks and the photoluminescent PVC used in the production of our signs fully comply with this regulation. Since safety signage can help save lives and is mandatory, use the best possible signage. Usage Recommendations: Minimum sizes to be used based on meters.

STORAGE, CLEANING, AND MAINTENANCE

The working temperature should not exceed 45º C. Higher temperatures may deform the support material.

The optimal storage temperature should be between 15º C and 25º C; with a humidity of 10/50%.

Cleaning methods; avoid applying abrasive products. It is recommended to clean them with water and neutral detergents.

The technical building code – Basic document on fire safety requires that photoluminescent signage must comply with UNE 23035.

To maintain the functionality for which the signaling systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends keeping the signs free of dust, dirt, or any residue or object that may obstruct visibility and identification.

For cleaning, it is advisable to use soapy solutions preferably, avoiding the use of solvents or abrasive products that may deteriorate the surface of the sign.

Photoluminescent signs should be positioned in such a way that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

According to RD 513/2017 (TABLE III), luminescent signaling systems must undergo an annual inspection/review carried out by specialized personnel from the manufacturer, a maintenance company, or by the user or owner of the installation.

Once the useful life period of the signs that make up the signaling system has elapsed, the inspection of these elements will be carried out following the indications outlined in RD 513/2017 and UNE 23035-2.

SIGN INSTALLATION

Check our blog to learn how to install a sign or poster: https://www.sekureco.eu/blog/76_consejos-de-instalacion-de-senales-de-seguridad.html

The RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION HEIGHT ranges between 2 and 2.50 meters, always maintaining a separation distance of 0.30 meters from the ceiling.

Photoluminescent signs should be positioned in such a way that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

The FIXING of the signaling element must be done on a firm and clean surface.

The sign can be secured using MECHANICAL ELEMENTS (screws, rivets, etc...) or ADHESIVES (mounting adhesive, glues, silicones…) carefully, avoiding soiling the visible surface or deforming it.

The EVACUATION signage should be installed in such a way that from any point likely to be occupied in the premises, an evacuation can be initiated, so it is recommended to install directional signs at all routes, intersections, stairs, etc. that serve as pathways.

The signage on DOORS will be placed above the door frame with the appropriate label (“EXIT”, “EMERGENCY EXIT”, “NO EXIT”, …).

The signage for FIRE protection, rescue, and/or assistance will be carried out on the same elements to be signaled whenever possible.
